Fundies Cafe

PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Fundies Cafe is part of The Fundamental Food Store, which concentrates on all things healthy, ranging from organic fruit and veg and dietary supplements, to Manuka honey. The store itself is located on Given Terrace in Brisbane’s inner-city suburb of Paddington. If you are searching for a healthier lifestyle or advice on natural medicine then this is the place to go. It is staffed by knowledgeable and friendly folk who can point you in the right direction. Attached to this health conscious store is an equally health conscious cafe. Fundies Cafe is a cosy venue which offers tempting morsels that are actually good for you.

They serve a mean breakfast, but the breakfast menu is far from the heart-stopping, calorie-laden fare found in most cafes. The Big Breakfast consists of eggs, mushroom, tomatoes, spinach, avocado, beans or tofu, a zucchini and corn fritter, and toast. The burgers are guilt-free as well; choose from curry lentil, marinated tofu or chickpea and vegie. Fundies offers a number of fresh specials that are displayed in the front counter including salads, frittatas and pastas. The expert and imaginative chefs change these specials regularly. To finish your meal, there are mouth-watering desserts that cater to vegans and are sugar- or gluten-free.
