The Social Space’s menu is simple but honestly good! Expect feel-good breakfast or brunch staples in the form of open-face toasts served on chunky slices of toasted French sourdough as well as smoothie bowls which come in natural coconut husks.
✨Berry Berry Good Smoothie Bowl✨
As this is a bowl full of berries, it has a more sour taste than sweet. The granola bits had the right amount of sweetness as it doesn’t make me feel like I’m eating sugar👍🏻 However, the toppings were quite little and I ended up eating most of the smoothie blended part without any fruits.
💰: $14

second time back at the social space, decided to try other flavoured smoothie bowls. we went with berry berry good and the hulk. the former was ofc meant to be filled with lots of berries - it came in a bright and gorgeous pink, but it was disappointingly extremely sour :( not sure if it was just my bowl, but it wasn’t a pleasant experience because i’ve definitely had better bowls at this place!!! luckily there was granola and other fruits to add a little bit of sweetness to each bite. the hulk was surprisingly good - the avocado made it very rich and light at the same time! would definitely recommend that :)
always love the vibes at this place!! it’s so cosy, rustic and wholesome and i absolutely love that it’s a business for good! hope to try the toasts one dayyyyyyyyy
sunlight streaming in 😌
that being said, the cafe is a cosy space with earthy tones and some of their other items on the menu are deliciously sweet! (i.e. the mango based Tropicana KIV post a review another time)
Description: raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, banana, coconut milk, honey
You get it, it’s choke full of antioxidants - but warning: only go for it if you’re a pure health food junkie ⚠️ Nothing else will prepare you for the avalanche of SOUR 😖
P.S. I’ll still list this under ‘Sweets’ because no way am I creating a list titled ‘Sour’
we got the 1 for 1 set of smoothie bowl + lemonade for $19 (gst included). ordered tough nut and tropicana. both are really refreshing with really sweet/fresh fruits! smoothie was on the slightly watery side but the bananas thicken up the consistency so it’s still really easy to eat! the lemonade was also neither too sweet nor too sour- a p good balance to the bowls!! q a satisfying portion for breakfast :) also after you’re done u can go take a look at their eco friendly store and zero waste section (amazingly CLEAN toilet too i love)
This bright blend of red dragonfruit, papaya & banana in soy milk had such a thick consistency🤩 - not just loaded with ice🙄 The honey drizzle was also a great switch-up from my usual nut/cookie butters! 🍯
However, I do find the bowls small for their original price at $12 each.
I tried the Tropicana bowl which is a blend that contains mango banana and pineapple. This was rather basic like what you would expect for in a smoothie bowl. Not the most mind blowing but definitely yummy. If you love acai or smoothies you’ll definitely love this place. I must mention that the fruits are soaked in honey which is great for those who find Kiwis too sour and dragon fruit bland (me lol).
I would go back again with the deal because $14 for a bowl of blended fruits is a bit too pricey considering that the bowl is not that big. But great ambience! And the eating time allowance is 2hours so it’s great for a catch-up with a friend.
