The food
Customizable salads and bowls, or pre-designed creations by consulting chefs, including Nigel Finley (The Chase Fish & Oyster, Catch).

The drinks
A selection of water, kombucha, bottled juices and smoothies made without refined sugar.
The space
There are a handful of seats for customers who choose to dine-in, pick-up shelves for app and online orders, plus a grab-and-go section stocked with pre-made salads and bowls.
