A popular spot for poke and smoothie bowls, Calii Love also has some interesting hot drinks. The golden milk latte is made with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, a little bit of honey and almond milk. Tip: ask for extra honey if you want it sweet. Other steamy bevvies to try: the cardamom hot chocolate, or activated charcoal, blue majik and beets latte.
Calii Love is so popular it already opened a second location after launching the Entertainment District restaurant in 2016. The poke bowls are California inspired, with ingredients like sweet potato noodles and kale popping up in the signature bowls. The chef Joe Friday, of ViaVai, fell in love with poke bowls after working at Honolulu’s Hilton Hawaii Village, and he decided to bring them to Toronto. Calii Love also offers a customized poke bowl available in small and large.
