Viva Healthy, the chef‑founded healthy‑food cafe, is officially heading to Winter Park and has been teasing a dramatic “pink house” makeover all over social media. The concept, created by chef Maria Gabriela Toro, has built a modest but loyal following in Orlando with grab‑and‑go bowls, low‑sugar sweets, and made‑to‑order lunch items. Neighbors in Winter Park can expect a compact, design‑heavy storefront that leans into bold colors and health‑focused eats.
According to Regency Centers, Viva Healthy is slated for Unit 21 in the Unigold Shopping Center, putting the cafe alongside Dragon Bowl Ramen and Sabor a Colombia. The listing pegs the space at roughly 1,200 square feet and places the center at the corner of University Boulevard and Goldenrod, a busy retail stretch for Winter Park.
Local Reporting and the Pink‑House Tease
What Now first reported the Winter Park location on May 8, pointing to an April 29 Instagram video in which the account wrote that “the pink house is almost ready”. The outlet noted that it reached out to Toro for comment but had not heard back by the time the story was published.
From Orlando Kitchen to a Second Storefront
Viva Healthy’s site traces the brand back to an Orlando kitchen and explains that founder Maria Gabriela Toro launched the concept after a personal health journey. The site highlights pickup, catering, and a growing lineup of bowls, wraps, and lower‑sugar desserts. It also promotes a franchising program, suggesting the Winter Park spot is part of a broader expansion play rather than a one‑off experiment.
Local Filings and What They Show
Per Bizprofile, a corporation named Viva Healthy Pink House Winter Park Corp was registered in July 2025, with Maria Toro listed as an officer. The move signals that the Winter Park outpost is being set up as part of a more formal growth plan instead of a temporary pop‑up.
How to Follow the Opening
For now, the clearest window into the build‑out is the cafe’s Instagram @vivahealthy_winterpark, where the team has been posting behind‑the‑scenes looks at the pink‑painted interior and other progress. Local readers can also keep tabs on What Now for continued coverage until an official opening announcement drops.
