Baby Point, once a sleepy no-man’s-land just west of the Junction, has accumulated all the trappings of a trendy neighbourhood: an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria, a taco shop and, as of last month, a new destination for all things organic, vegan, non-GMO-adulterated and gluten-free. Serendipity, a new café and bistro at Jane and Annette, serves brunch, lunch and dinner, plus take-out meals for diners on the go. Superfoods are definitely the focus (buckwheat crepes, mango-cashew-spinach smoothies), but the little restaurant also has options for non-dietary-restricted diners, including pizzas, paninis and Montreal-bagel boards loaded with house-made cream cheese and smoked salmon.
