“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“
“The place is cozy and welcoming, the aroma inside is divine. We went in for a quick to go order of freshly baklava and there were so many varieties.Husband and I will definitely be back to enjoy more than the desserts. A perfect place for a coffee date.“
“We visited this cafe for the first time not too long ago, and while there was a mix up with our order, the staff were very attentive and went over and above to solve the issue. The crepe with fruit and coffees we had were delicious! Definitely recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth!“
“Have now returned a couple times and this juice bar remains awesome. Really impressed with their fresh, made to order breakfast croissant with egg and cheese. The super nice owner cooked the eggs on the spot with melted cheddar and goat cheese on a very flaky fresh croissant. Outstanding. I had the #3 juice with it, with carrot and orange bursting with vitamins and taste. Love this place,“

The workers in there are always so sweet.Anytime I need a little pick me up before a workout I grab a protein coffee and it gives me the best amount of energy and that doesn’t leave me with anxiety.There are so many fresh food options along with drinks and as a picky eater I always find something I love that helps me reach my daily protein intake!“
“I have been to Pantera Superfoods on multiple occasions for smoothie bowls. Their bowls are delicious and the owner is so kind. I am so excited to have this place in Edgebrook. I used to drive to Bucktown for smoothie bowls. Great option on the NW side for a healthy lunch.“
“The first time I ever went, I went with a few friends that recommended it to me. I usually don’t like milk tea, but kopa had a smoothie option that I absolutely loved. The boba was chewy but I liked it. When I went for the first time I got to write on the chalkboard and that was a happy experience for me being able to have someone read what I wrote and have a better day. Every time I get the chance to go, I go. This place gives me exceptional drinks that I absolutely love and good vibes whenever I go. I have never had a bad experience here and I would recommend this place to anyone I meet. The staff here have been so kind to me and will take full responsibility if my drink was made wrong. I love going here and would 10/10 guide someone to this amazing place.“
“Absolutely a treat to have this place in Glenview. They have a location off Glenview Road but are also in The Glenview Park Center and a Evanston location. Whether you are health conscious, have good allergies or just like to try different thing... the staff and owner is sooo informative. They know all about their ingredients and products. They have seasonal items too and holiday themed too. Love the Smoothies, he wide varieties of available bowl and oatmeal bowl, great soups with cheesy waffle is a must. The spinach waffle is awesome and the banana bread waffle is a must to try! Also great detox beverages! You can find fresh pressed juice as well. Worth the extra few dollars for truly high quality ingredients and superior service. They also have a strong wifi if you want to do some work or just hang out and play a game of connect or arcade game or read. This spot is a must to visit. They do dine in, take-put and delivery.“

The flavor was so rich and creamy, and you could really taste the freshness of the strawberries. The staff was super friendly and helped me pick the perfect flavor. If you're a fan of strawberry ice cream, you definitely need to give Rita's a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! ♥️“
“A bright, friendly environment for postlift quick shake/meal.All the menu options I've tried were delicious and you can't sleep on the waffles.Macronutrient conscious options across the whole menu.Friendly staff in a cozy space.The location is hard to see if you're not looking for it but if you are a gymrat or health enthusiast then this is a great place to grab a bite or drink.“
“Hometown Coffee and Juice in Glencoe is a cozy spot that’s perfect for anyone who loves tasty, healthy food like salads and avocado toast, and their coffee is just amazing—it’s mild and not burnt, making it one of the best around! It’s right by the train station, making it easy to get to if you’re walking or taking the train because finding a parking spot can be really tough. Also, it’s a very popular place, so it gets super busy. If you’re planning to meet someone here, try to come at least fifteen minutes early so you can find a place to sit. Despite the crowd, the delicious coffee and great atmosphere make it all worth it. Just remember to give yourself enough time for parking and grabbing a good spot!“
“Lots of cars in the parking lot so you know it's good!!! We had great service from Manny. I felt like getting something light today and didn't expect it to wow me. Ordered the healthy scrambler and it was full of flavor! Was so good and filling! My husband ordered the Latina skillet and thought it was rich and spicy! Generous portions!“
“Been doing here for the past few days and the smoothies are absolutely fire. Tastes all natural without having to worry about all the excess sugars other smoothie places use. The staff are also really friendly as well and ordering online is so easy.“
“I cannot wait to go in person and eat. I was craving Pho and this was among the top I’ve had.I ordered the Pho Ga, we also had the shrimp and egg rolls.The Pho Ga chicken was so good my children were stealing it.Can’t wait to dine-in and try more of their great food.Yes, they are cash only, and yes, it is worth it. I would rather have delicious, affordable Pho than wait for a price hiked, GrubHub delivery of cold, mediocre Pho.“
“I love their health shots, juices, and juice cleanse! I grab their health shots about 2-3 times a week, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my health. I also just completed their green cleanse for the 3rd time over the past 2 years. Highly recommend their cleanse for anyone looking to rejuvenate, build immunity, and replenish the body!“
“Absolutely love everything about this spot. The staff is awesome, the food is incredible and the beverages and drinks are great. They even serve alcohol. Their soups & chili, hot sandwiches and pastries are exceptional. The source organic chicken and fresh eggs from from Harrisons; bagels from Kauffman, different dairy and butter from Wagner Farm, pastries from Bennistons and etc. Truly a cool spot to read a book, work on your laptop or just sit with a friend and chat. They get into themed items for holidays and go out to decorate. Also have coordinated events too. Kathy the owner truly knows how to run a great establishment. Very kid friendly and excellent prides for the value of what you get. Plenty of parking and a block from the library, train station and a park. My only grip is that the bathroom need a little more attention. They also have a reward system too eirh gracious cash back and a drive thru. Also have gluten free option. Great variety of fresh items. Truly a gem to have in Glenview.“
“YoFruito has one of the freshest frozen yogurt you can find in the area. They have my favorite tangy plain frozen yogurt and all sort of yummy flavors and toppings! Also love their fruit freeze using real frozen fruits.Kid-friendliness: Toys and other things that can keep the kids entertained for free.“
“I have had a great experience since day one. Everything I have ordered has been great. Employees are super friendly. Workouts are awesome!Kid-friendliness: My daughter had the bubble waffle and she loves them! This is a lot healthier for her since she does dance she has to get her protein in. She loves all the girls that work there.“
“I always felt like a princess when eating there. My friend knows the owner, she’s such a wonderful person and the waiters there are also kind. Love the presentation of the food too. This is definitely a restaurant on the pricier side, but a great place for a special occasion. Perfect for the girlies, or a mother and daughter brunch.“
“Curiosity is going to win me over 100% of the time. Such is with this place today.Ate the sweet nacho bat and I was pleasantly surprised. It is quite good.It is on my way to the Jefferson Park blue line for work. I will be coming here more often to try the other flavors and teas/slushies ❤️You guys should check this place out.You won't regret it ?Vegetarian options: They have plant based sausage (which I'm gonna try next)“
“Smooth, creamy, with a bit of crunch and so decadent and healthy. Who said you can't have the best of two worlds?? It's definitely on the pricey side but it's in a popular part of Chicago so that's to be expected. I stopped by here after many runs I did during the 100 degrees weather weeks.. and the delicious smoothies were worth every sip! They can customize them to your liking if you want to swap out certain ingredients. Service was super friendly and recognized my sweaty face after my second visit which made me laugh. I especially loved the maca protein smoothie. Take my money.“
“Came here in the middle of the day during a weekday, so it was pretty empty. That also mean we got served very quickly. The store had a cute wall and seating along the wall, but no tables. So it might be a little awkward if you have a large group. The drinks were pretty good though, we got the brown sugar milk tea everything was decent. Definitely not the best boba I've had, but the pearls were decently chewy and the flavor was decently good. My friend enjoyed his smoothie as well. Overall a pretty solid boba place. I'd come back again.“
“What a great new breakfast spot! It’s huge so quick seating, the portions were gigantic and the servers were so friendly and attentive. Easily could have split an entree. Great value for the money- will definitely be back soon with our kids!“
“I come to this location frequently we've been here actually 5 days in a row and the whole entire staff is amazing I can almost name everyone from morning to night as I've been on a smoothie diet so I'm the last 5 days sometimes I've came twice in a day needless to say I'm impressed by the atmosphere it smells fresh and the staff is helpful when it come to trying new drinks“

“Their Italian ice is the best we've tried by far. It's very flavorful, perfect texture and refreshing.So far I've tried strawberry, lemon, grape and lime. All are excellent. I can't wait to try the other flavors.After trying Little Lulu's Ice, I finally understand why people get so excited about Italian ice. This is far superior to others I've tried.“
“(Translated by Google) The best thing I can try out of so many, this alone has been the best congratulations to the people and the owners because without them the Michoacan would not have had the original flavor, congratulations. All tasty good atmosphere and attention(Original)Lo mejor que puedo probar de tantas solo esta ah sido la mejor felicitación alas personas y alos dueños por que sin ellos la michoacana no hubiera tenido el sabor orijinal felicidades. Todo sabroso buen ambiente y atención“

“Glenview Grind is a great coffee spot. They have many drink and food options to choose from including smoothies, coffee, and sandwiches. Moreover, they have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating as well. They also have a drive thru option which is very convenient. The inside is very clean and is a nice place to go and do some work. The staff is also very friendly and prompt when making the orders.“
“The ice cream is fantastic, the only downside is the service is kind of mid. They sometimes take forever because they’re always understaffed but the food does not disappoint! They always are asking to tip on their computer though which is super annoying considering they just stare you down while you are on the machine. All the menu items are diverse and I prefer the marshmallow, strawberry banana, and strawberry chocolate ice cream!! Also all their teamonades are super good!!! I prefer raspberry, peach, and lychee. They also sometimes add the actual fruit and a lemon piece into the drinks. The ambiance is kind of meh, it’s a very bright atmosphere but with empty and big spacing around the seats. Sometimes when it’s busy there’s not enough space to even enjoy your treat, but I love the ice cream and drinks! “
“Yummy smoothies and teas. They use Herbalife products for add ons ($2$ extra) I wish that was listed before you started adding in protein scoops etc. I also wish they told you about the combos when you order more than one drink…definitely didn’t mention it the first time there. it’s a very tasty and low key spot. Been back a few times and still good service and drinks!“
