“The owners deliver pure magic to both children and adults alike! It truly is a happy place, you can feel it as soon as you walk in. The Peach smoothie was excellent and I look forward to trying more, there were many sorbets and ice cream flavors to choose from. The creations in ice cream that we received were works of art and joy. Highly recommended from a local parent’s social media group and delivered 100%! We will definitely work this into our routine. Pure joy. A Palatine treasure.“
“The Strawberry Banana bowl tasted awesome and I loved the amount of toppings that came with the bowls! The place is also very neat and pretty! Service was also great, they’re very kind and seem to actually care about whether you enjoyed the food or not. All in all, definitely pay this place a visit! You’re sure to find something you’ll enjoy!“
“We ordered breakfast today and the food was pretty great! Everybody was very kind and the food came out quickly. I was surprised at how good the country steak and eggs came out! The music was a tad loud but it could have just been where we were sitting. Overall a pretty great little breakfast 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!“
“I found this place on my way to the car from shopping the owner invited me in and told me about their smoothies, I decided to give them a try, I was hungry and thirsty so I got the peanut butter smoothie and the tropical fruit drink, you can get it with a energy boost or supplement, I was hungry so I got a fresh made acai bowl, all fresh ingredients, the owner was so nice he left me try the protein peanut butter donut and it was fresh and delicious, I'll definitely be returning 10 out of 10“
“The friendly employees at this restaurant were kind enough to converse with me in the spanish language; for, a moment I felt that enjoyable cultural emersion, like I was really in Mexico in the Michoacan province. Its nice and clean here, and its a little quiet on a cloudy afternoon.“
“I've visited this place a couple of times now, and it's become a favorite spot close to my house! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I particularly enjoyed the almond croissant--it was delicious! The beet revival was also refreshing and a unique twist. The staff provided excellent service, making the experience even more enjoyable.“
“I still love this place, but I’ve come here the last three weeks at around 2:45pm on Tuesdays, and it’s been closed even though their hours on the door say that they should be open. It’s very disappointing and they should probably edit their hours.I bought the brown sugar milk tea as well as the Thai milk tea with boba and both were amazing! The employees were also very friendly and the shop offers a wide variety of options!“
“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.“
“It's like I've wandered past this place since the beginning of time and never saw it! It's been here as long as the anchor stores like JCPenneys lol. Amazing drinks and fresh fruit, good stuff. I had the matcha ones, and it was phenomenal.“
“Yummy & healthy acai bowls & cute catered seasonal menu items to choose from! Always a friendly face willing to explain the options whenever I stop in. Love following them on all their socials to know when new things drop. Would def recommend to a friend looking for healthy alternatives in their area!“
“My husband has been going in here for awhile. I had my first visit today. My shake was really good, Bahamas breeze protein shake. The owner is super nice. The place is very clean. Price is right. I would highly recommend village nutrition.“

“Our son, Parker has worked at Nekter for almost a year now. He actually loves working there, and that’s all you can ask from your 18-year-old son. Loren and Brandon, the owners, really care about these kids and the same with the quality of food they make fresh every day. Having a son who works at Nekter has also afforded us the opportunity to try virtually everything on the menu. Yes, we are real customers but mostly we just love healthy food that tastes really good. If you’ve ever had a smoothie from a chain place, you’ll instantly know the difference. Our favorite things are their Chia pudding w pumpkin and a Popeyes Açaí are ridiculous. You know when your teenager makes homemade cashew milk at home… reminds you that you live in Barrington but also that the universe is working!“
