Sometimes I eat a whole cake for breakfast, other times I'm obsessed with healthy food and won't eat any bad sugars for days. On those days I prefer to go to O'YO. It's a very cool place where you can eat a lot of things made from yoghurt. I like to go there to have breakfast, but you can order food during the whole day. They have different options for all kinds of people: sweet O'YO, savoury O'YO and a combo of sweet and savoury. The yoghurt they use is handmade and full of good ingredients. They don't use any sugars or preservatives. Like the people from O'YO say: good for your guts! You can also eat cakes and little bites. It's healthy, by the way, so you can treat yourself ;)
Little fact about me: I say 'ojo' all the time when I'm speaking - it doesn't have a meaning. It's some sort of stopgap I use all the time. So when I first heard about this place, the name sounded already perfect to me - I just knew it would be something I'd like!
