Thank God for this Freshii because it is the best thing you can eat in this cafeteria without feeling guilty and it's so good!! I work close to this Freshii- which is located inside the UIC "mini-cafeteria" near Polk and Wolcott. You won't find a "Freshii" sign posted anywhere outside of the buidiing so unless you know about the location or GPS is guiding you, you won't know to find it. Parking is so tricky in this area so may the luck be with you but if you work in the Illinois Medical District; this is one of the premier spots to get food from! To each it's own, I looked at the other reviews below and man; tough crowd. Everyone's experience is different but here are a few pointers to help make the experience more pleasant in regards to variables you have control over. 1. That cafeteria area is usually closed until 10 am but Freshii's opens earlier because they have a breakfast menu- don't quote me on it but I want to say they open up at either 7 or 8. I've ordered as early as 8. HOWEVER, the cafeteria area where that Freshii is located in is open until 2:00 pm. Don't let GrubHub or Postmates fool you- only open until 2:00 pm. During the holidays (Christmas + New Year + Easter), that entire building is closed down for either two weeks or a week depending on the holiday. So always double check before ordering. 2. Lunch time is insane- meaning anywhere between 12:15- 1:15 is insane. The way it works is that they have this area with clipboards. The clipboard contains the order menu and then you write down what you want and then you can add or substitute depending on your preference. You will get charged additional for any additional items you select that are not part of your order so be aware. Once you've selected what you want, you give the white paper to the person making your food and you take the yellow slip up the cash register to pay. If it's a crazy line of people- it'll take a little longer to get your food but hello- it's lunch tIme! What else do you expect?!? Of course it'll be insane so either plan ahead or go later! As for my experience, I love this place and it's my go to lunch spot (and recently breakfast too). Like I just love it. I order things that are not bland- like the oaxaca bowl or the Mediterranean bowl. I love the oaxaca bowl the most- it's the thing I eat the most at Freshii's. I mix it up- sometimes I ask them to substitute spinach instead of the kale and sometimes I don't put the wontons. I love beets so this is an amazing option for me but everyone is different. I recently tried the huevos for breakfast and was blown away- so delicious. It was kale, eggs, beans, salsa fresca, avocado and I can't remember what else but I really savored every bite. This morning tried the spinach mushroom and egg pouch. It contained spinach, feta cheese, roasted peppers, mushrooms and eggs. For the $3.99 price, it was huge!! I was pleasantly surprised by how much you get and it's so filling. The worst thing I tried on the menu was the kale salad- ugh, avoid at all costs. It was the driest salad I've ever eaten in my life. Like if I didn't have water to sip on everytime I took a bite, I would have probably choked. Need to rethink the approach on that one. I've been to the Freshii at Rosemont but the service nor the food was as good as the one here. Also, I reallly like to workers and they are also so friendly and nice. If you are nice to them, they are nice to you and will go that extra mile to make your experience pleasant. I have been here more times than I can count and have yet to be disappointed (hopefully I don't jinx myself)! I highly recommend checking this place out for yourself !

Wonderful food at very friendly price. The staff warmly welcomed us and gave us direction on where to sit. The waiter then explained for us about their menu and made for us recommendation. I really enjoyed the food and I felt like adding more and more. Will be back.

I always get the Market Salad and I love it. I figured it is kinda high in carbs but I was shocked to learn it has nearly quadruple my allowable intake. Google the nutrition before you go if you are on a diet.
