NAUGHT OR NICE?
Which one would you choose?
Absolutely loved revisiting one of the first ever cafes that I have visited at the Sunshine Coast a few years back! Oh man, how time and flown by and things have changed!
But one it hasn’t is my all time advice about food: having a flexible attitude towards food is better for your mental health and your overall life.
You don’t need to eliminate food groups.
You don’t need to fear fats or carbs. Ever. You can have a balanced diet and honour what you want to eat more, instead of just restricting and regretting it later.
And another thing that hasn’t changed is how perfect Decisions cafe is! It has it all! You actually won't find a 'Breakfast' or 'Lunch' section on their menu and it's simply split into 2 all day dining options #SUPERFOOD (healthy) and #SUPERJUNK (not so healthy).
And the Decision is all yours! If you are craving something more wholesome and nourishing, today, go for it. And if you want to eat some delicious and less-nutrient foods, every now and then, you’re okay too.
You know where you’ll find me today hey 😈😂👌
Here’s what I tried this time, from their new menu!
Acai Flow - it’s impossible not to love Acai Flow and no matter what size or shape it comes, the taste, consistency and overall final product is always outstanding. I have to say that I would have loved to have had this in an actual ceramic bowl not only because it would make it way more interesting but actually because I do think they deserve that presentation due to the quality and being so popular and loved amongst people. It is a soft serve whipped pure acai that comes served in a paper recyclable and compostable cup and topped with vegan GF granola, seasonal fruits and coconut chips. The granola was great and I want to highlight how good the bukinis were on it, taking it to a new level. Portion size of the acai was good considering how it comes but to be honest I would have preferred to have seen this type of acai in a bigger serving like they have with the acai bowl made from sachets from another brand. I think they could benefit a lot from a better presentation as I have seen many acaiflow bowls bowls both in ceramics and coconut bowls and it is always more Instagramable meal versus what we had here. Still give this a 10/10 and a must try!
Acai Cup - quite disappointed with this bowl to be honest. Actually when we arrived I noticed that there was a table where people left, unfinished, a huge ceramic bowl with what it seemed a watery pink smoothie bowl without toppings. Little did I know that that was actually this same acai bowl that I asked for and that unfortunately I don’t think I would recommend (specially in comparison to acaiflow). It is a blend of frozen acai puree mixed frozen berries and frozen banana, all blended with coconut water and not only it was very watery but the actual taste was very sour and acidic and I struggled to have it all, for sure, which never happens. Not the worst bowl I’ve had but definitely not even an average bowl. It came topped with house made nut free granola, that even I who loved granola, think it was too much, and missing crunchiness, sweetness and diversity in the granola (looked more like a very basic muesli without any nuts or dried fruits) and it came with some fresh seasonal fruits and coconut chips that were the highlight of the bowl to be honest. I actually did not report back to the team what I thought about it but in case they read this, I would leave my food blogger friendly suggestion to definitely change this bowl as the place has great potencial to make this WAY better than what it is.
Sushi Bowl - this was was a win for sure and it was a mix of black rice, baby spinach, avocado, cucumber, edamame, seaweed, a soft boiled egg, pickled rashest and carrots. It also came with some kewpie mayo and ponzu and it is a true sushi bowl for sure even with those limited toppings! You have the option to add another protein source like chicken or salmon, bu to presented it as a more simple way and see it the bowl itself was well achieved and resembled Asian vibes, I opted to not have it with anything else. Quite filling and nourishing and great combo that I wouldn’t change anything as it’s absolutely perfect 👌 but I think next time I would definitely add the salmon to bring more richness to the meal and I do recommend trying and having this one, for sure!
Flash Hash - my friend had this meal and it was somebaked house made hash with roasted capsicum, baby potato, sautéed kale, 2 runny fried eggs, fresh herbs, with feta and morrazella on top. The place it on the oven and the cheese melts on top, making it extra glorious and incredible in terms of taste and looks. It is quite a filling meal and the overall seasoning is good 👌 would recommend adding some bacon to it like we did or some mushrooms to make it even more extra!
Loaded Chilly Waffle Fries *daily special* - my friend had this one too and it was a daily special that has been massively popular apparently! I have to say it looked very mouthdrooling indeed and the fries were beautiful in their cute waffle shape and it came loaded with melted cheese that would make everyone envious of not having a bite! I sure did! I i do think that they could benefit from having vegan cheese in some of their normal menu options as I think that it would interest many others and bring more costumers!
Loaded Smash with mushrooms - the classic avocado toast with an extra touch! They actually have both items on the menu and for those that prefer a more simple option that’s also possible with the avocado toast item! But if you’re feeling hungry and think that you need a little more on the Tory, they have Th is option that is toasted sourdough with smashed avo, cherry tomatoes, grilled halloumi, roasted corn salsa and chive sour cream. You can obviously add even more if you feel like it or substitute any item!
Sausage Roll - they have also come up in their menu with some snack items! Perfect if you’re not too hungry and one of them are sausage rolls! They have two types - meaty and veggie - and while I would have personally prefer to have had the veggie one with pumpkin inside, my friend I wanted to really try the meat one and he really liked it which made me happy.
Oat Matcha Latte - to drink, we opted not to have a smoothie although I have to say that if you’re thinking about having one, have in mind that they are massive! And delish! And so were the wellness lattes we picked! The matcha wasn’t overpowering and it blended very nicely with the mix. It is also vegan friendly and I would say that if you’re trying matcha for the first time, you’ll probably be better by having one of these options and you won’t feel a very strong taste. My friend had this one and personally he would have preferred it to be stronger in taste but I found it quite smoothing and pleasant when I tried it!
Almond Turmeric Latte - I personally had a turmeric latte and have to say that it was perfect and definitely recommend. Not too strong taste, just right in terms of blend, this was fantastic 👌
Of course that I have to say again that I obviously recommend visiting. I don’t usually visit the same place twice unless it is quite special to me and these guys sure are! When it comes to menu preferences and my friendly suggestions, that’s always personal and just something I would personally enjoy but it doesn’t take away that fact that these guys are legends! Great team, great environment and energy!
