Been to a lot of açaí bowl spots, and this place by far has it together! Great location, aesthetically pleasing decor, and a super friendly welcome. And the bowls? So good they'll have you craving more!! The base at a lot of these places can be icy or watery, but this place got it right. I meannnnn--go try it and tell me I'm wrong!! LOL. It's so smooth--thick, but not too thick!! The granola is crunchy (not stale), not too sweet, and has the perfect hint of cinnamon. And who doesn't love a colorful swirl top for an instantly picture-worthy post?! Try them. Try them now!! read more

I love Bright Bowls! The staff is so friendly, the place is so cute and above all, the food is just incredible. The balls are amazing and the bowls are not only delicious and nutritious, but truly a work of art. They are also super friendly and accommodating to kids - they have kid sizes of everything and even gave my daughter paper and markers to color a little heart during Valentine's Day! Highly recommend this local spot! read more

I love an acai bowl! This cute place is tucked away in Downtown Highland Park. I had no clue what to order and I deferred to the cashier to please tell me what the most popular item was. She recommended the Love-a-Bowl and it was A. Beautiful and B. Delicious! I will say it was also C. Expensive at $16. I'm not too shocked though. That's par for the course at these types of places. It was a great bowl - definitely worth the splurge to treat yourself. read more

Obsessed with this place! The bowl I ordered (love-a-bowl) was so fresh and delicious. My kids and their friends devoured the protein balls (the cocoa ones were a HUGE hit) as well as the original ones with sprinkles. YUM! The owner was so nice and helpful- excited to go back! read more

Best and healthiest lunch spot in town! Amazing atmosphere and amazing for corporate catering too

First impression of this cute açaí/smoothie place was everything seemed genuinely healthy and quality ingredients were used. We ordered the Love-a-bowl, and it was delicious. It was a smoothie bowl, which wasn't as THICK as an açaí bowl, but it was still very good. The mixture of toppings and mix ins was very good - not too sweet, and the granola added a bit of texture. Good signature bowl! The woman who was working was also very informative and warm. The seats were comfortable and the area was super cute, too with some nice people watching. I'd go back next time I'm in town. read more

My friend Lindsay has moved Bright Bowls reopening today in Port Clinton. If you've never been, it's time you found this all natural, healthy food and snack emporium first opened by native Highland Park resident 4 years ago. Who knew healthy could taste so good! Stop in and tell Lindsay that Kiki wishes her continued success and love read more

When in need for a healthy treat, we are sure to find it among works of art at Bright Bowls. Located in downtown Highland Park, just by sunset foods. Tucked in a small strip if you're not looking for it. There is plenty of complimentary parking. When you walk in, you're greeted with bright lights, and colorful art. We came by on a Saturday and there was a birthday party/dance party going on in their studio. So it was busier than usual, but it didn't affect the quickness of us receiving our order. We walked in and looked at the menu and around for a little bit before we decided on the Pitaya The Tiger bowl. Which has a Pitaya base with blueberries, banana, pineapple and mango, topped with banana, blueberries and bright granola sprinkled with bee pollen. The swirl was blue spirulina and coconut yogurt. When we received our bowl, it was almost too pretty to eat. It was like artwork! The base was super smooth, with the fruit and granola each bite was delicious, not too sweet, not too bitter. We already can't wait to get another bowl of art soon. read more

My friend is on a health kick so she wanted to check out Bright Bowls for a meal. At first I was hesitant because the menu seemed to be mostly acai/yogurt/smoothie bowls and I was craving something more "substantial" and savory. I was delighted to find out that they also have savory options like homemade soup and avocado toast. My friend really enjoyed her bowl and I loved how colorful it was. I ordered the butternut squash soup and found it delicious. I also had the avocado toast and it was yummy. The portions weren't really big and the toast wasn't the chewiest but the combo was delicious and I'd definitely come back to try their gorgeous smoothie bowls. The ambiance is super cute and it's right next to a dance studio for kids. I loved the bright colors and the fact they sell bright and fun little items. I think this place is pretty kid-friendly and they even offer coloring and high chairs. One thing to note is the parking situation- there weren't that many spots and we went on a random weekday after busy lunch hours. read more

Here is a healthy place at breakfast. It has a lot of vegan and vegetarian friendly items. Bright Bowls is also fast. Many of these puréed bowls kinds of places can take quite awhile making an order, but the stuff comes out within a few minutes. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. A good place especially at breakfast. It's easy finding these bowls and smoothies places but not as easy to find one this good. They also happen to use lots of vegetables. Blending these into the fruit helps hide the flavors. It's about $14 for a bowl, which is quite a lot. Of course, this isn't unusually for a fancy place like Highland Park. Best is the Blue-Tiful Bowl. This is made with puréed bananas, blue spirulina, cauliflower, pineapples, spinach, and vegan vanilla protein. Can't even taste the cauliflower and spinach hardly. This is swirled with blue spirulina and coconut yogurt. Pretty cool looking. Then it's topped with blueberries, goji berries, granola, and strawberries. For sure it's worth a price to get it. This does give you a lot of nutrition for as much as it costs at least. Good and healthy. It also has a lot of items for lunch. These include a pretty good menu of salads and sandwiches. read more

I forgot to post my review! I love this place, I wish I lived closer. I've tried everything on the menu and each time it gets better. The staff is wonderful and the bowls always brings me so much joy. read more

Almost too pretty to eat, but I still managed to eat every drop because it was so delicious. My biggest complaint may be that this is a 12 min drive from my house because I want one around the corner from me. For those lucky enough to live around the corner or are willing to worth the drive you can place your order online and pick it up (don't forget your mask!). I went for a pretty late lunch (after 1pm) so mine was ready within minutes. My original plan was to take it home, but I was starving and there wasn't anyone sitting outside and so I ate there. The Golden coast was as good as all the yelpers claim. But they all look so good so I may try something else next time. I thought I would still be hungry after eating it since it wasn't very big, but it was surprisingly filling. Worth the 12 min drive, but I do hope if they expand they consider a location in Glencoe! read more

Although delicious, it is pretty pricey. $15 for an acai bowl and $10 for a smoothie. I work in the area and will definitely be back, but not as often as I would hope given the price. read more

The bowls were ok-- over priced. Hours are not good if you want an early morning treat or on your way home from work. Service was not great. Waiting for a while when came to pick up a bigger order in my car. Second time came by and waited so long just left. In general I have had better. I would rather drive to the city and get a smoothie bowl. Also prefer Hometown in Glencoe or Winnetka for healthy options and more variety read more

Definitely a very cute spot, maybe hard to find bc it's in a strip mall kinda place just west of the sunset foods, theres a one way traffic parking lot. We got two bowls, both were delicious. Ultra fresh and ultra chic. Beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. Kinda expensive was $28 but for the quality and fresh organic ingredients I get it. Definitely a treat! read more
