Inside Follow Your Heart Market & Cafe
Follow Your Heart Market & Cafe sits tucked into Canoga Park as a warm, low-key spot where plant-based comfort food meets a community-minded health food store and gift shop. At its core, this is a vegetarian and vegan-friendly café that doubles as a grocery and deli, making it easy to stop by for anything from a full lunch to picking up specialty staples and treats.
The atmosphere here feels casual and inviting, with a nostalgic nod to classic American vegetarian fare that’s been thoughtfully updated for today’s health-conscious diners. Folks come for hearty sandwiches like the Nutburger Supreme and the Tofu Rancheros, or lighter options such as fresh-pressed juices with ingredients like kale, beet, and lemon that feel crafted for steady energy and refreshment. The seating area is cozy rather than expansive, making midweek lunches or weekend brunch visits a comfortable, relaxed experience.
This place works well for those who appreciate careful, plant-based cooking that doesn’t shy away from bold flavors or generous portions. It's a spot that seems built for people shifting toward healthier eating habits but who still want satisfying, flavorful meals. Locals mention appreciating reliable classics — from their housemade pizzas and vegan reubens to desserts like the raspberry chocolate cake, which rounds out the meal on a pleasantly indulgent note.
While the café buzzes quietly with steady traffic, the adjoining market space adds an extra layer of appeal, stocked with vegan-friendly groceries, oat milk, and unique gift items running the gamut from cookbooks to lifestyle goods. It reflects a vibe of thoughtful, plant-based living that resonates with those looking to integrate those choices into their everyday routines.
Early afternoon visits tend to work well for a seat and a slower meal, while the mornings draw shoppers picking up juices or sandwiches on the go. The staff is noted for being friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience feel welcoming rather than transactional.
