    First time! Alyssa was super informative, very personable and cheerful, without being pushy!! Not everyone can do that first thing in the morning. Great first impression I tried the 3 step process: 1. shot of aloe(flavored) for hair, skin, acne, digestion. I have never had a liking for aloe. It always was pulpy and left an after taste. This was just like drink a refreshing class of mango infused water. I would drink a bottle of it easily. 2. 1 cup of tea(hot or cold): boost metabolism, mental clarity and several other things (check out the website) and no crash - I had warm chai. I love chai tea, but I usually drink it with milk because I have found chai with water to just not do it for me. This chai, however, was not too peppery, absolutely palatable witbout the creaminess of milk and very flavorful. 3. Shake(meal replacement) lots of vitamins and minerals, 17 grams of protein and 3-5 grams of fiber: Their are an abundance of shake flavors. I decided on the Stawberry Cheesecake. They have fruit, chocolate or white chocolate flavors. I am not a chocolate fan in general, but I may be tempted to try a few, as the names have peaked my interest. Ie. Heath Bar, Sweet Heart, S'Mores, Banana Carmel, etc. I know....it doesn't sound healthy. Right? The taste is so much tomy liking that I will totally do it again. As a meal replacement, I should feel "full" and nourished for at least 4-5 hours. They advise having a drink once a day for 3 days to jump start as a way of getting your body on track with all the benefits. Their hours are 6a-6p M-F. I don't remember the weekend hours. I wish they were open earlier because I will almost be to Hyde Park before they open They do have their products onsite to ourchase and make at home, this may turn out to be a better and cheaper ootion over the long term. I am going to try this out for a bit and see how it pans out. Thank you for a pleasant and healthy experience to start my day.

    Super great people that work here. Incredibly informative. When I come in, I engage the 3 step process. For the shakes, wow what a flavor menu to choose from.

    This location has a lot of use for me. Somehow, my draft of it disappeared. I went here at least 3…read moretimes. See, this is where my daughter swims for Illinois state swim competitions (high five if anyone else has a swimmer kid on a Michael Phelps diet), but I digress. There's certainly some humor of "but it's not in Illinois". But that's not why we come here. That's not why it gets real in the whole foods parking lot. Anyway, this a great location, everyone is helpful, and notably there is (of course as matters to me) a decent salad bar and a good amount of vegan options. Otherwise, I would not be coming. One thing of note though that I have needed many times is caffeine. They have a cold brew concentrate that uses a teaspoon or so for a cup of coffee! So read those words carefully: concentrate. That means, don't drink that whole bottle or you'll die, yo. That would be like a Futurama fry 100 cups of coffee moment. Or a Panera lemonade moment. There are some fun food options not at whole foods but in this area, and the pizza place nearby is also pretty epic. But you can't go wrong with whole foods, generally.

    They have a great produce selection. I do come here as a first option for fresh organic vegetables…read moreand fruit fruits. Their meats in the butchery are good quality as well. For the price that you get. Wanna come to their pantry items be sure to search on your phone for competitive pricing. I came here to buy coconut milk and they only had one in stock for seven dollars. I knew nearby grocery store sold it for less. I tried their viral ice cream sandwiches and they were pretty good. They're about three dollars per mini ice cream sandwich. Expensive! I only come here when I need things that my first choice grocery stores don't have. The ambience here is nicely organized. The service of this location is not good ever. They are very mean here from Amazon to the regular Whole Foods workers everyone has an attitude. Very rare you will have a worker that is willing to help you at this location.
