Sublime

Of all the organic, healthy, superfood focused spots I’ve visited recently, I think Sublime is my favourite to date. They are a catering company, so if sad sandwiches have plagued your office functions for a while I would definitely be giving these guys a call!
For me personally, I’m a bit of a carb avoider, which can make finding a quick easy lunch option a drag. I get a bit of a Goldilocks problem where everything is either too bread-​heavy, too expensive, or just not satisfying. Sublime’s salads are a ‘juuuust right’ option with vegie-​loaded options that include a good portion of protein to fill you up. It also doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Like many of the salad places, there are additional extras like chicken tenders or vegie fritters that you can add alongside a salad.
I split a large broccoli + chicken slaw (6.95 small, $ 12.95 large) and got a Thai Chicken Ball and Parmesan-​crusted chicken tender on the side. All of it was filling and delicious. All in all lunch for two cost $ 21 and was very satisfying and wholesome. Good to have all bases covered, as I find at the strictly vegan places I need to spend way more to fill up due to lack of protein.
For winter, they serve a range of hearty soups. For summer, superfood smoothies.
There’s also a fridge for pre-​made healthy frozen meals. I spied one that was dinosaur-​shaped pasta, so there is both adult and kid friendly options here.

I love, love, love this place. It truly is as it name suggests — sublime!
Tucked away on Church St just up from Swan St this catering company’s café is one my my new favourite Richmond haunts (and by new, I mean to me, not to Richmond)!
The salads are amazing — ancient grain, broccoli & chicken slaw, quinoa and broccoli — I’m salivating just thinking about them now. The chocolate brownies are delicious too (paleo for those that way inclined). I’m yet to try their coffee so can’t comment on it.
They also have a fridge of frozen pre-​prepared meals which are not only healthy, but super tasty too! We’ve tried the vegetable curry and the coconut beef curry and both were amazing!
I may regret revealing this hidden gem to the masses, but it’s too good not to share! Check it out!

Just tried the chicken & broccoli slaw and was blown away. Yes, it’s possible to be blown away by salad. No, not any café can achieve that.
I will dream of this salad and crave it weekly. Luckily I live nearby so there won’t be tears.
Don’t go anywhere, Sublime crew. We’d be lost without you!

If only Sublime was around when I was living in Richmond. I would never have cooked again.
Sublime started as a catering company and now has expanded to include a shopfront offering lunches and coffees.
There is also an epic freezer with the holy grail: Frozen, healthy meals.
My tip: Go the vegetarian lasagne. I’ll be back for more.
