Monday Office - Wolfox Food

Working At: Wolfox, Hove


You may remember I went to the wrong cafe last week. My intention was to try out the Wolfox Cafe but I inadvertently ended up next door at the SIX restaurant.

Well you'll be happy to know I finally made it to the right place. Actually I've been here a couple of times but this is what I'm tucking into this afternoon.

It's an avocado and raw chocolate tart with strawberries, and it's heavenly. With coffee of course! 😊

Wolfox sell 100% vegan goods which would normally put me off but their smoothies are really creative and yummy as are their cakes.

The menu is focused on living and being well, mostly with organic and biodynamic ingredients. And to further that they have a yoga studio upstairs.

Overall my experience in this cafe is a very positive one. The only slight downside is the chairs have no back support which means I can't stay too long

Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for the daily contest. This is my entry to food photography.

@gillianpearce the spread is incredible, as are the photos. My vegan friend would go crazy in that cafe! Keep the beautiful photos coming. Cheers!

Please don't leave comments on people's blogs @meshev, just so your team can upvote them. It is really rude.

I have muted you.

@gillianpearce I do not know they are. They suddenly upvoted my comments 3 days ago (once a day). So I stop making comments that I'm sincere about, just because a group of random ppl choose to upvote me?!!

That looks delicious!! So glad your 'cafe shopping' is shaping up!

I had a smoothie not long ago with avocado in it...so awesome because it made it really creamy but didn't really change the flavour :)

Yeah. It's funny how avocados have become all the rage lately @lynncoyle1. Weird how even food goes in and out of fashion. 😊

It is weird! Give it another few months and we'll be told that avocados are bad for us haha

Very true @lynncoycle1. I remember when we were told we shouldn't eat more than four eggs a week and cut out butter.

Even sugar was considered good for us at one time. I'm thinking "lucozade aids recovery"!

That first photo would draw me in. Nothing else necessary

Ah, but you wouldn't see that from the doorway @steven-patrick! 😁

You know, I think I could eat most healthy things if I they were more tasty. Some things are. Other things are decidedly not. So, vegan or health conscious is fine as long as it doesn't taste like weeds. Or grass. Or some other undesirable taste.

I can't say I've ever had the combination of avocado and raw chocolate before, but the café looks very nice. Can you bring your own back support? Seems like if you like all the rest of the shop you could spend a little longer if such a thing were possible.

I'm exactly the same about vegan and gluten-free food etc. If it tastes good I'm happy to eat it.

I have looking into back support on my "to do" list. I seem to have set off an old injury recently and have had to take pain killers which is a very rare event for me. 😢

I'll start my search right away, before I forget again . . .

Back pain. That's no fun. I don't blame you at all for avoiding the pills. I don't think it ever ends once you start taking them. I've never quite figured out why they're so widely prescribed. Is the doctor actually saying that pain is not indicative of a larger issue? I mean, I thought pain existed for a reason, but apparently it's more of an inconvenience than something which is to warn us about, oh, I don't know, a problem.

I understand some pain is not associated with something life threatening, but still, I hope to avoid getting on pills as much as I can. Guess I'd better be more proactive about that, too. :)

No. It really isn't fun @glenalbrethsen. It meant I couldn't get out of the house to work today because I can't carry the laptop.

Haven't taken any pills today so that's good. However, one of the problems with the back pain I have is, without pain relief, I hold my self stiffly and put pressure on other parts of my body. The pills do actually help me relax and walk more normally which is a good thing.

We're only talking a low dose of ibuprofen and paracetamol here.

I'm very sorry to hear about all of that. I hope things get better soon, not only for the pain, but for your mobility, too. I know you enjoy getting out and about. It's not good when one thing is out of sorts because it can throw things out of balance, and make things worse. So, I guess the idea would be to take it as easy as possible, right?

And you can take the pills. I was talking about me, not anyone else. :)

I don't like taking pills either @glenabrethsen but as I was writing my reply to you I realised that there can be a benefit at times. My knee jerk reaction tends to be not to take anything.

It's a balance between taking it easy and keeping moving I think. So walking is probably good, but carrying a laptop is probably not.

I won't be going to yoga tomorrow either.

I could maybe go for a gloat though. Now that's an idea. I'd rather wait until the weather changes though. it seems a shame to be shut up inside when the weather is so perfect at the moment. 😊

Go for a 'gloat.' 🤔

I'm not sure what you meant by that. Apparently, it's something you would rather do inside when you can't really do something outside because of the weather.

I agree with the take it easy but keep moving. It seems to be a balance of keeping things lose but not strained. However, that happens.

Well, anyway, I hope your back stops giving you trouble soon so you can get back to doing the things you want to do.

That was a typo @glenalbrethsen. I meant to type - go for a float not gloat!

I've had a really bad day which involved having to take my computer to a shop because the Windows update cocked it up and I couldn't do anything,

Without asking me they just reinstalled windows and lost all my photographs which I've spent months organising and editing.

The originals are on Google thank goodness but I've not idea now what I've posted on Steemit and what I haven't and I've lost all the ones I edited ready to go. 😢

Goodness knows what else is gone. All my music for one thing although I'm not so bothered about that.

I'm just running some software to see if anything can be recovered from the hard disc but if it can't recover them in folders it will be a nightmare to try and organise again.

I was already starting to feel a bit fed up with it all again and this is just another nail in the coffin.

it also has made my back worse since I had to carry my laptop to and from the shop.

Not a good day! &#128546

hope yours is going better!

All that food looks so delicious @gillianpearce. I've heard about avocado used in mousse (?) with chocolate but I'm yet to try some... That looks so tempting 😍

It really is @cryptocariad. Interestingly the chocolate tart didn't really taste any different than it's "normal" equivalent. The base wasn't pastry though and, in fact, I preferred it. You certainly didn't get any avocado flavour coming through. If you see it around anywhere I can thoroughly recommend it. 😁

Avocado and chocolate are two of my favorites but I've never had them together. Sounds interesting. Looks like a lovely cafe you've found there. Thanks for sharing this place. :)


What do you mean NO back support? Poor back support perhaps...

It never ceases to amaze me how many cafes you bump into : how do they all manage to survive. They aren't very diverse... (vegan) then again maybe we're the only two not completely raging about veganism....

Oh wait, I have to add a third: #glenalbrethsen (above comment).

Those chairs are in the restaurant next door @sukhasanasister, not in the cafe. I wrote a post previously about the difference between the two.

Sadly, the cafe doesn't not have the same chairs.

You can see them here. They don't have any lower back support. 😢

This is the first vegan cafe I have posted about but, I must admit, some of the interiors look very similar! 😁

See what you mean! My back hurts already by just looking at them. Maybe it takes a vegan diet for better back health and then these chairs become just dreamy?

Onwards to the next joint, may the most ergodynamic one win 5 out of 5 stars! (A nice bit of cake might help with a star.)

I see, you had a good visit today. Chocolate and strawberries-I liked it too. Thanks @gillianpearce

Yep. A good one today @madlenfox. Now if only they could sort out the chairs we'd be all set! 😁

OMG kingdom full of sweetnesses :)

Indeed @margaretwise! I'll need to go back a few times and work my way through all the goodies! 😁
