If you find yourself in Orchard looking for a light lunch, then good news: The area just got another purveyor of healthy eats, Detox Cafe. It’s a fuss-free spot where you can grab build-your-own salads, green smoothies, cold-pressed juices, wraps, and açaí bowls to go. Maybe you’re on a cleanse, or maybe you’re jonesing for a spot of healthy eating to *finally* bring some good nutrients back into your body. Maybe this is just the kind of food you regularly like to eat. In any case, this place looks pretty good for all that.
Just like any other customizable salad place, the eatery offers a decent variety of ingredients for you to fill your bowl, with prices starting from $9.90 for a “petite” to $13.90 for a larger “original”.
Choose from proteins like cajun chicken breast, teriyaki chicken thigh, Mexican beans, and teriyaki salmon (for an additional $2.90) to pair with brown rice, whole wheat pasta, gluten-free noodles, or romaine lettuce. Then pack in veggies like eggplant, pumpkin, zucchini, broccoli, or carrots before deciding on your toppings from a selection of jalapeños, sunflower seeds, and roasted nuts.
To complete your order, dressings range from citrus balsamic and pesto to honey mustard and herbed olive oil.
If you’re not the picky kind, Detox Cafe’s signature salads include gluten-free noodles with kale, chicken thigh, boiled egg, and sweet potato ($11.90) or teriyaki salmon with romaine lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, and sunflower seeds ($12.90).
If you’re into açaí bowls, then yes, the cafe has got those on offer too: There’s a banana bowl ($7.90) with kiwi and chia seeds, and a super bowl ($8.90) with mixed berries, banana, chia seeds, and coconut flakes.
For a natural sugar rush, sip on cold-pressed juices ($5.90) like Cloudy Apple, Pink Lemonade, or Summer Berries. Coffees ($3.90-$6.90) and organic teas ($2.90-$3.90) like lemongrass with ginger or caffeine-free rooibos are also available.
