Keep it up yall are doing great!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“I saw this place online through a search in the area for healthy foods. The physical place is very nice. The atmosphere is great too! The menu is much larger and diverse than you would expect from a small healthy food establishment. The food tasted great! I had the avocado toast, see pic. The only issue I had was that I received a single piece of GF bread with the avocado and egg on top for $16! I expected at least twice this for the price. This was definitely less food than I expected for the money! I suggest they reconsider the portion size for that much money. Otherwise, I really liked the place!“
“All that it was hyped up to be! Brought my wife and son for a coffee but ended up trying the breakfast sandwich and pastries mmmmm so Devine. Everyone is super friendly, professional and attentive. This fine establishment is a military supporter so be sure to inform the cashier. I definitely recommend this Awesome coffee shop to Everyone!“
“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!“
“Really appreciated the fact that the food is freshly prepared and comes out piping hot. The fries were really good, nicely seasoned and not greasy at all, actually a bit crunchy to perfection. The chicken sandwich and burger we ordered were really nicely flavored. Overall a nice lunch place when craving burger or chicken sandwich with a bit of a kick. We didn't try any drink so can't comment on the bobas they did look nice though.“
“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.“
“Pretty decent place has really good and refreshing açaí bowls!! I will say though as a frequenter, the portions seem to be getting lesser and lesser over time and the prices keep getting higher and higher. It’s almost ridiculous how expensive it is. But the food is tasty and there’s nothing else like it so I keep coming back. The workers are all very very kind though!“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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...“
“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!“

“This is a great store with great health options. Seeing all these 1 star reviews because they don't require masks is kind of sad on the part of those leaving reviews. It's a private establishment - respect it or go home but don't write reviews behind a screen.“
“Really love the Mango Madness, the people that work there are real troopers, some of the hardest working employees around, the girl in Vernon Hill has it down, like poetry in motion.My husband loves that banana Flatbread, I really enjoy the salads“
Juice Bar & Smoothies • $
“I have visited this location multiple times and I am always greeted very well by the staff. I've tried the shakes and they are AMAZING!! It does not have a traditional protein powder taste that is bad, they are genuinely good! They have other options like coffees and teas that look great as well. The inside is well decorated and super cute. The only bad thing is their hours of operation are always changing so if you're planning on going, check out their Instagram to see what their hours that day is. Times listed on here are not accurate.“
“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.“
Coffee & Tea • $
“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.“
“I enjoy the salads and bowls here very much. The chocolate chip/oatmeal cookis are really good. I like the variety of the salads and bowls. The menu allows for a good amount of flexibility to your liking.The really only thing I dont like or I am not crazy about is the drink selections.Salads and bowls very good.The staff 90% of them are well trained and very nice.“
“Love kung fu tea!! But especially this location. The ambience is so nice and gives such a welcoming feel, not to mention the space is so large. The employees are always super nice, and always make sure your drink is made well! The tapioca itself never disappoints and every drink I have had from here is so so good!“
“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! “
“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.“
“The cafe has really good sandwiches and service! I recommend the chicken caprese it was so yummy. The staff was really nice. Yadira (one of the staff member) was nice throughout the order process and always had a smile on her face! Josef was really patient as well, check this place out! ??“
“I have always loved liquid fusion and normally go to the northbrook location but stopped by here while at the dmv. The staff was nice and fast. The boba smoothies were good as always. I got the strawberry honeydew with tapioca and strawberry dream with tapioca per usual and they were both good. Haven't been to a liquid fusion in a while but prices have gone up a ton. A regular was like $6 with tax. This is a bit pricier than other places but worth it for the specialty flavors like the strawberry dream and melonah. Liquid fusion will always have a special place in my heart and worth a visit if you haven't tried it but def not a cheap spot anymore :''((“
