As much as I love food, I love liquids more, and would be perfectly happy to drink all of my calories, which I did as a child, until my palate adjusted to Southern foods. I later learned to cook healthfully as a teenager, and have explored ethnic foods ever since. Raw foods such as fruits, veggies, juices, and salads remain favorites. So when I went to Chicago last summer, as I was walking back to my hotel from Millennium Park hot and exhausted, quenching my thirst and hunger simultaneously with something fresh was a priority. I had spotted Deep Purpl on the way. I love açai, and usually just purchase it in frozen packets or juice from the grocery store, so this was my first time trying an açai bowl at a shop. It was absolutely amazing, so much so that I ordered the same thing as a BOGO special from Uber the next day. I've been trying to find a local spot in VA that compares: not too sweet, quality ingredients nicely layered with almond butter as an option.
I'm a huge fan of smoothies for breakfast.And hence this is on my way to work.I decided to stop in and see what they were all about. The decor of the store is very eye catching. The purple theme is not something that you commonly , so I definitely believe that's what drew my attention. The menu is Easy to understand and has options for acai bowls, empanadas and smoothies. I tried the Deep Green smoothie. Although the flavor was nice, I didn't like that.It wasn't blended smoothly and there were pieces Of the ingredients Is coming through the straw. That is. Perfectly fine for things like pineapple and banana, but I'm not really into chunks of spinach while drinking my smoothie. I would return and try a different smoothie and maybe request that it is blended better.
The food was what we were looking for. Everyone enjoyed it. We ordered 2 Acai bowls, Ham and cheese empanadas, Deep coffee with peanut butter added. The açaí bowls are fun - you get unlimited toppings! The location we went to is convenient. It was a bit warm inside, there isn't a bathroom as it is a walk up place with limited seats. It seemed clean, but some of the seats could use a good cleaning. The service was friendly, quick and helpful. We would go again.
It's located in the middle of downtown Chicago. They have acai bowl and smoothies. But I only ordered their empanadas. They were very tasty. I ordered a spinach and a beef. The dipping was sold separately. Which all rang up to $10. It was a bit on the pricy side but it wasn't bad. Their staff were friendly. And POS was simple. You tap and select the amount of tip or no tip on the screen. One of the quick tipping option was set at 25%, which I thought it was ridiculous for fast food. Anyhow, I enjoyed my food. Overall, it gets a 4.0 out of 5.
This establishment happened to be plant based as far as the empanadas were concerned, they had a few different ones to choose from. The empanada I had was delicious filled with beyond meat / sweet potatoes and I'm sure some other plant based ingredients and I couldn't tell the difference between that and meat. The açaí bowl was fresh, ice cold and u also were able to build your own from available ingredients which I thought was cool. Worth the try even if your not vegan
There a a couple things to note about this place. 1) these are not acai bowls, they are acai cups. Most toppings get plunked on the top and only certain ones get layered below. 2) the acai mixture itself is very sweet! I recommend staying away from the sweeter toppings unless you're looking for a sugar bomb. For one person I'd recommend the 12oz or smaller. It is a bit pricy, but the quality is decent. Service is fast and I appreciate the care they put into chopping and adding each topping. Also really love that there's no topping limit! My favorite toppings are the fruit ones, almond butter, powdered milk (sounds weird, but I find it provides a nice contrast to the acai ok), and cacao nibs. Overall a solid dessert option in the loop and a nice contrast to all the fast food chains and Starbucks shops.
I was very surprised and shocked about how excellent this was. So it's acai bowls and I frankly was suprised at how tasty it was. They advertise it as a meal, but it's def more of a healthier froyo place. One of the best parts is that you can have any/all of the list of toppings, which is incredible. I can't even remember what I got but everything adds to the experience. That being said the frozen açaí alone is fantastic and addicting. I'm already craving my next one! Def check this out, and it also shares a vegan empanada place.
Very good food! The owners mom was there and she is super friendly. Their empanadas are from an Argentina company.
On a rainy cold day, walked at most 2 blocks to the park and it's completely liquidated. The açaí was super water down and sweet with added honey as a topping. The blue chia pudding was barely any to fill a line on the rim of the cup. If you decide to visit, I advise to get a spoon and a straw so you can enjoy it. Overall, the store front does not have seating available for customers so plan accordingly.
Deep purpl was a great place to go for lunch or a pick me up in the middle of the day. I don't usually like açaí and was expecting to want to eat a regular meal after eating this but I was wrong! It was so delicious and so filling. It's great though because you feel great after eating it. The options for what to put on top are great -- a great mix of fresh fruit and nuts as well as condensed milk and granola.
I was excited to stumble upon Deep Purpl when I lived in west loop. I tried their açaí bowl either a few toppings. Honestly, the açaí tasted a bit weird to me. Fresh açaí is fruity and tart, however the açaí in this bowl tasted a bit metallic (mostly because it's preserved). That being said, the toppings are great! I love adding banana, goji berries and cacao nibs with an occasional dash of the chocolate protein powder to my açaí bowl. Blueberries taste really well with the açaí bowl too. I also really respect Deep Purpl for keeping the prices low. Açaí is expensive and I have had other açaí bowls that are way way way expensive. They also offer smoothies that I haven't tried yet. Their vegan empanadas are really delicious though. Only a select few locations offer the empanadas. The service is good and the ambience is all purple inspired, which is cute. Overall, a nice place to try açaí, although I do wish the açaí could be more fresh.
Beautiful space, lots of purple love. I was craving the taste of acai and decided to stop in and create a bowl. My bowl included fresh but dried coconut, chia seeds, granola and almond butter. It was a delight.
I love me a good acai bowl, and Deep Purpl certainly has one. The concept is a little different from acai bowl establishments I've visited before. Rather than a menu with several pre-created bowls, Deep Purpl starts with a basic acai bowl with options to choose your size and toppings, customizing each order. Sizes range from 8-24 ounces, and free unlimited toppings include a variety of fruits (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) coconut, granola, chia and hemp seeds, goji berries, almond and peanut butters, honey, blue chia pudding, and condensed milk. Premium toppings (extra cost) include pistachio cream, protein powders, and chocolate hazelnut spread. They also have Argentinian empanadas, however there isn't a vegan option so unfortunately I wasn't able to try these. I opted for the 20 ounce option with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, goji berries, hemp seeds, almond butter, and blue chia pudding. It was delicious, however after tip I paid just over $19 which seems a bit steep, even for something so delicious. read more
This was a great option in the heart of downtown Chicago for a quick smoothie. I stopped in here with a friend, and she ordered the Deep Blue while I got the Deep Yellow. Rm order to receipt of our smoothies probably took a total of under 5 minutes. For a $10 smoothie, I got what I expected and can't complain about the Deep Yellow! read more
I was so excited that a new location popped up. Their acai bowls are delicious and a great price. Having grown up in CA, I was so excited to finding decent acai place. However, the reason for the bad review is that we got an acai bowl with multiple light colored hairs in it. (Mine and my husbands' hair colors are black). This is absolutely disgusting and deters me from wanting to order from here again. The photo shows the strand we initially found and there were multiple other strands that we found blended into the bowl. Absolutely unacceptable. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

They participate in the "Too Good to Go" App. The concoction that I had consisted of fresh fruit, açaí, and peanut butter. This food is something different. They are in downtown Chicago near one of the Macy's stores. read more

Amazing how many vegan options they were able to come up with for empanadas! Location next to Cloud Gate is also perfect. I ordered to go (there's no seats). They heated 4 "fresh" for me and all were super tasty. but they were VERY dry. I was asked at check out if I'd like garlic sauce but wasn't told it was $2.50?!? Then I didn't receive it but i was too far away to return :/ read more

10/10 on the bowl! I got the 12 oz here which I'd recommend as your standard size. Service at the location was wonderful and nice. Toppings in this picture were strawberries, banana, blueberries, granola, kiwi, and chia seeds. read more

The food tastes great. I feel guilty because the natural sugar is so high. The location in Hyde Park is nice looking but the one downtown on Wabash is a little blah. Most of the people work work at these establishments are nice but I did encounter one who was less than friendly. read more
