“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,“

“Steel cafe is soo convenient and easy to access with the fastest service. The gym is amazing itself but the cafe has been the best addition to the gym. 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 Oreo milkshake I fell in love since I'm an Oreo fan lover! I appreciate the workers there were giving me recommendations of different milkshakes. Will be coming back once the warm weather arrives to try out their refresher and smoothies.“
“My wife has memories of eating here with her mother in 1992. So this place has been here for a long time. The problem with that is the food is a bit out dated. I think a new menu would really help the situation.Each menu item needed some seasoning and flavor. Everything was bland. Vegetarian food does not have to be this way.The service was great and the location is great, but it's not gonna be a place I'm going to frequent.“
“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.“

“"Hey everyone! I recently had the chance to try the strawberry ice cream at Rita's, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! ?? 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! ♥️“
“This is the perfect place for family and friends to gather and for any reason to celebrate. The owners are so kind and it's such a cozy place to stay a while with board games and plenty of seating. They always have at least 2 dairy-free flavors too!Dietary restrictions: They always have at least two dairy-free flavors!“
“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.“

“I love that the smoothies are made with fresh ingredients, not syrups. And you can add other ingredients off of the menu toVegetarian options: Most of everything is a fruit or vegetableParking: Parking is kind of scarce... I usually order ahead and just double park on the cross street or put on my hazards...Kid-friendliness: Sweet smoothies get kids to drink their fruits and vegetables...“
“The place is cute and colorful inside with limited seating, and they have a few tables/chairs outdoors as well. As others have mentioned, it is pricy, but both bowls were delicious. We got the love-a-bowl and the OG açaí. I would definitely come back!“
“A well-needed casual cafe in Lake Forest outside of the typical Starbucks offerings. Great size, nice patio in the warmer months. Menu is pretty large. Coffee, smoothies, and pastries are fantastic (the cookies are quite decadent). Service is great - while you order at the counter, your food is brought to your table (and cleaned up afterwards)!My only gripe is that the entrees are pretty bland. Bagels are flavorless, sandwiches need more spreads/seasoning. It's like the don't use salt/butter or something.They are fine, but quite expensive for being mediocre. I guess you are paying for the service more than the food. 2 coffees, 2 breakfast sandwiches, and 1 pastry to share between my wife and I was close to $50 before tip...“
“Excellent staff! Accidentally ordered to the wrong store and they were so kind and understanding. Helped me fix the issue right away. The boba is always delicious. Would always recommend! Also — all their drinks are lactose free (♡ thank u from someone who hates having to pay more for alt. Dairy options) I’ve ordered here many times and will continue to order here!Dietary restrictions: Heaven for anyone who’s lactose intolerant.“
“I honestly do not think I have had a significantly bad experience here the past 4-5 years since I started going. I have ordered delivery and pick up and sometimes dine-in. Food, drinks, and snacks are always good and they try to accommodate dietary stuff when possible. The one time they made a mistake the manager offered me a gift card so I could replace my meal for no charge (I think it was like $10 total back then). I definitely recommend their bento boxes! They're filling portions that are relatively healthy with veggies and are also super tasty :)“
“I got the açaí bowl. It was AMAZING! The purée's texture was creamy but still refreshing. The taste was amazing. You get to choose different toppings, and all the toppings were fresh and delicious. I got a 12 oz for $10 (not necessarily cheap), but it was worth it! The worker was very kind and welcoming. The setting is also super cute to sit and chat in.“
“I went here yesterday on my drive home from Michigan because I wanted my mom to try Tropical Smoothie Cafe. There was only one employee working and it was around the lunch hour, so there were quite a few people standing in line, myself included. The employee name was Quentin. This young man did an outstanding job from greeting people to making smoothies and did it all by himself. He worked as quickly and efficiently as he could and did a great job. I was very impressed and didn’t mind waiting over 15 minutes for my food and smoothie. The young man definitely deserves a raise or some recognition from the company.“
“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 have been getting Alchemy coffee beans delivered to my home weekly for several months and the freshness of locally roasted beans can't be beat. I grind for both drip and espresso and love the selection of single origin Alchemy offers. I haven't had a variety I didn't love. I can't recommend Alchemy enough. Local gem!“

“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 best smoothies, juices and açaí bowls in the area. The changes that have been made have really improved the overall experience and I can't wait to go on a hot summer day. The service is always top notch and they are so nice and helpful.“
“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!“
