📚 Happy Back to School! 🍎

School is back in session & with that, our summer is slowly coming to a close. We’ve been so grateful to welcome so many new and familiar faces through our doors this summer. While the season may be changing, we’ll be here all year long.

☆ Soup of the Week: Carrot Oregano Soup
A herbal mixed vegetable soup with a warm, comforting note of carrot. This soup is topped with roasted brown butter carrots & fresh oregano for a bright, fresh finish.

Looking forward to Labour Day weekend & hopefully escaping the rain for a few fleeting summer rays. More to come this week, so stay tuned. 𓃬
