Ya I'm particularly not very enthusiastic about chains. I agree about the healthy thing though-- I've gone to quite a few cafes that I just stumbled upon or heard of through word of mouth that were great and very healthy.

By the way-- my wife and I are kind of weird like this, but sometimes if we have something that we particularly like we ask the cook how they made it. You'd be surprised at how many people are willing to share with you! Obviously you get the laughing 'no way' sometimes, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
