Follow Your Heart





21825 Sherman Way
Canoga Park, CA 91303


Quite possibly one of my favorite places in the world...right up there with the Valencia Wellness Center and Sprouts:)

This past Sunday my mom and I went shopping for Christmas gifts and ended up in Canoga Park. We wanted to go somewhere fun for lunch so I used my vegan restaurant app on my phone and found Follow Your Heart was only two miles away.
I fell in love.
The place is small and is both a market and cafe/ restaurant. I'll start with the restaurant...

I ordered a vegan carob milkshake and couldn't believe how amazing it was! I thought I was cheating or something but everything in it was fine for me! I would DEFINITELY order it again.
My mom had a mushroom burger with mozzerella cheese (not entirely vegan) but she said it was absolutely delicious. It came with carrot chips and other veggies. Looked amazing!
But mine was killer...I got a tandoori style vegan "chicken" and curried tofu with rice and mango chutney. completely vegan, wheat free and gluten free.
OH MY GOSH.
I was so incredibly full after that meal but it was worth every single bite. I was beyond content.
But the nice thing is that even after all of that food, I didn't feel bloated or gross because I could digest everything.
now for the market...
OH MY GOSH.
any kind of tea you need, it's there.
any kind of chakra candle. there.
gluten free bread products. done.
vegan, gluten free, raw food, detox, sugar free, health food cookbooks. all there.
flowers and aromatherapy. got it.
bumperstickers, hemp sweatshirts, buddhas. yep.
best part....i bought four cartons of green tea soy ice cream. love

and all of these wonderful things are condensed into this little market/cafe. I could have spend hundreds of dollars....numerous hours...in Follow Your Heart.
Worth it. I promise.
Highly recommend for shopping and eating:D

hope you enjoy:)
you are loved.
