A small group of cyclists came with me and placed orders. We got our food partially . The food was brought to us outside, I asked the person about my protein shake and indicated i will bring it to you.I waited forever for my drink and when i went inside and asked i saw it in the counter. She said oops sorry about that.... so here is the point. Overpriced health drinks and ok service my protein shake tasted awful for the price I paid. Wish the service at least cared to remake the drink since she left it in the counter at least 20 min room temperature. Would recommend stay in the counter then go seat to make sure you get the whole order together.

The kale salad was perfection and I am picky. Delicious. Crisp, lightly roasted walnuts, thin- sliced red grapes, strawberries, avocado, tangy dressing. The server was friendly and quick. And the menu is all plant-based. Highly recommend.

We originally reached out to the business directly to share our thoughts and concerns about our visit, but they never responded which leaves us to assume that they really couldn't care less about our experience. Upon arrival, no one was wearing a mask. They had no record of our reservation even though we showed them the email with the details. We were directed to sit outside in a bubble, which after 4 or 5 minutes in the sun felt like we were cooking in a microwave. We asked if we could be seated indoors and the server told us that "the bike shop is taking up our indoor space". Not sure how on earth they would be able to accommodate diners on a rainy day considering this isn't even really a restaurant. It's a walk up counter with a few tables and chairs outside. It took 30 minutes for 3 employees to make 3 lemonades and a gritty, melted chocolate "shake", and we were the only customers there. After asking a few questions about the menu, we placed our order. Having two people in our party with celiac disease and a severe dairy allergy, we were assured that the restaurant was gluten free and vegan. The two people with celiac disease ordered the breakfast sandwich, which came with the option of a pretzel roll or a brioche bun. After ordering the pretzel roll, the server came back and informed us that the pretzel roll is not gluten free...hence nullifying this as a "gluten free restaurant". We sat in awe wondering how soon it would take us to get sick from any potential cross-contamination in what we now learned was NOT a gluten free restaurant as advertised. We originally came for the bakery items because they flood their Facebook page with delicious looking donuts, cake pops and other baked goods...of course, they didn't have any bakery items the day we were there. $95 for 4 people to eat 3 breakfast sandwiches with no sides, 3 lemonades, a bowl of chips and guacamole, and a "milkshake"...outrageous! We certainly won't return and will NOT recommend to anyone!

Was expecting née Rejoice from the Google search. Don't know area enough to know better, Got seated inside, would have preferred outside, Food was good Not enough air circulation with the cooking, need a much better venting system. Looking forward to the née Rejoice!

We were just looking for anywhere to eat and this place popped up first. Decided to try something a little different and wow. Food is so delicious! Cute little place, definitely will have to come back.

Everything we ordered was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive. You can't beat the environment. Our entire experience was awesome.

I love this place! Great service, atmosphere and menu. I love their food and appreciate that they use good quality ingredients! Very gluten friendly as well.

As a vegan, I was glad to find an eatery that I could feel comfortable eating at. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients, something seen even less nowadays. However, the wait time from order to pick up is lacking and there seems to be some confusion and lack of urgency in the kitchen (15 minutes for 2 beverages, tacos and a sandwich). Worth a visit but not when you need something to go fast, unless you call ahead.

Look no further than right here for the MOST DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE donuts in the entire Fox Valley, not to mention the western suburbs. These donuts are absolutely outstanding. Flavorful, fresh, and best of all: Gluten and dairy free. Run, don’t walk!!

The jackfruit was so good. We tried two different burgers( the guac and egg burger) both were delicious. My kids loved their shakes a s mini donuts. My only suggestion is to offer a savory version of the sweet potato fries, they seemed to be dusted in sugar. Would love a chipotle garlic or chili lime version ?. We will definitely be back!

My first experience with Rejoice was about 2 months ago when they opened. I thought it was overpriced for what it was and gave them a 1 star review. I just went back to try the new menu and things have gotten a lot better. The staff greeted me right when I walked in, they answered all of my (many) questions about the menu and got the food out to me pretty quickly. It was a completely different experience than my first time. If you are a vegan or gluten free, go give them a try.

This is by far one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the world. The service was amazing, the food was phenomenal, and what you get for the price was also great. It has such a cute atmosphere too.

We enjoyed eating at Rejoice. We had a hard time finding it because it is inside the bicycle shop, and we did not realize that, but it was good food and we will definitely go back!

It's literally in a bike shop. Like tables next to the counter for the bike store. Not what was expected at all. I'm assuming this is a temporary location. Menu was very small, food was cold. Overall extremely disappointed, was really looking forward to an all vegan restaurant in the area.
