I tried the build-your-own bowl with a mango base, granola, kiwi, mango, strawberries, and honey…read more Overall, it was a little too sweet for my taste. The honey definitely added to the sweetness, and the fruit tasted like it may have been frozen rather than freshly cut. That said, the portion size was generous, everything was put together nicely, and I could definitely see this being a refreshing treat or dessert on a hot summer day. If you have a sweeter palate, you'll probably enjoy it. Next time, I'd skip the honey to let the fruit flavors shine a bit more.

The coconut and pitaya base is very refreshing and just the perfect sweetness. I tried some of my daughter's bowl with a pistachio base but it tasted like an artificial pistachio. I'll stick to the coconut pitaya.

Things I love about Awesome Juice bar: - they're open every…read moreday! - friendly staff and service - the acai bases are made to order, and the menu options are extensive, e.g. peanut butter acai, various fruits, etc. I originally thought for example the mango and peach were pieces of fruit on top of the acai base, but it's all blended together AND THEN you can add 4 toppings. A couple areas of opportunity: - the acai base could use more flavor. I didn't get much peach flavor coming through in mine. - the fill (amount of acai base in the bowl) seemed slightly low. The 16oz bowls start at $12.90, which is about $0.50-$1 less than other equivalent offerings in the North Shore. Parking is tight in this strip mall lot (by Subway/Jiffy Lube). Have an awesome day!

I've been wanting to try awesome juice bar since they opened. People that work in the area and live…read morein the area seem to swear by their smoothies and bowls . I finally made it to the juice bar and ordered a berry bowl. Their base has an amazing consistency! They make it right there when you order it so it's not premade and frozen. I would say, I think the base needed a little more flavor ...so next time, I'll probably see if they have some vanilla protein powder that they can blend into the base. The toppings I got were strawberries, homemade granola! (it's amazing! Pick this one for sure), blueberries and an almond drizzle. The almond drizzle is a lot more than just a drizzle, which I found appealing, but if you're looking for only a little bit of almond butter, you might want to say "go easy on the almond butter". Overall, I am thoroughly happy with my bowl.

This is their newest location, down the block from where my daughter and I get our haircuts, anyways, so I thought I would support what filled the space of our beloved favorite smoothie shop. The staff was friendly and patient as I stared at the new menu and the items were ready promptly. The prices were very fair! My daughter got the seasonal Hot Cocoa bowl which has an açaí base, dark chocolate granola, marshmallows, chocolate fudge sticks, cocoa cool whip, and peppermint chocolate drizzle. I used to get a protein coffee smoothie so I was still looking for something with protein so I chose a Bravocado--banana, avocado, spinach, cinnamon, flax seed, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk. My daughter and I also split some Peanut Butter Balls where the ingredients were only peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, and honey! I am happy we can still get healthy treats when we are the Glen and wish this location the best of luck! P.S.-Bonus points for me for the staff member wearing a Bears jersey lol...definitely helps me rank this store good, better, best, haha

My best friend is vegetarian and Blind Faith came highly recommended by another friend when I was…read morefishing around for somewhere new (to me) to treat my best friend to. Blind Faith Cafe was easy to find and there was plenty of (paid) street parking available. We stopped by on a Saturday around 1pm without a reservation and we were able to be seated without wait in a booth. Service was kind but it was very clear they were busy. This was definitely a casual dining experience and we were not rushed through our meal. Inside this feels like a traditional more-than-a-diner but feels cozy like a local restaurant on a tv set where your favorite characters regular. I chose the chilaquiles, which came highly raved about by my friend who recommended Blind Faith. The eggs come any way you want, I chose over easy, they also let you choose between a tomatillo salsa verde or tomato ranchero salsa, I chose the salsa verde which was tangy with a kick but not spicy, just very flavorful. Both were described as relatively mild/not spicy to me by the staff. My best friend ordered the Vegan Mexican Breakfast with vegan cheese and my partner had the Huevos Rancheros, also choosing eggs over easy. Food came out pretty quick and looked delicious. Most notably everything was vibrant and looked so fresh. The serving sizes are large and were plenty for each of us. Prices are comparable to other brunch spots around the city and the quality was great. Blind Faith cafe was delicious and a good experience. I would definitely return and will absolutely keep them on my list of vegetarian options

I ordered to-go and the açaí had already melted so it was more of a smoothie bowl than an acai bowl. All the ingredients were fresh and high quality though. Pick up was convenient and smooth. There was just one person working at the time I stopped by around lunch time. This is a nice acai option for the Evanston area. But my favorite acai option is Bonita Bowl in Park Ridge. They have different base options and their sizes are much larger. Plus they stuff the top with lots of fruit.

Like... there is a picture here what is in this picture? "layers" Was all he could tell me.

My suggestion would be go to another smoothie bar that has better descriptions on their menu. This one was quite confusing on all levels.

Family run, you can feel the care in the service. You feel like you are invited to join the Julio family in the kitchen of their home. I ordered the Cowboy, a delicious blend of chorizo, bacon, and scrambled eggs, seasoned to perfection. They are accompanied with homemade guacamole and corn torillas, with a ranchera sauce on the side. The homemade tortillas are a perfect base for the dish, warm and rich with flavor. I've never had Chorizo with bacon but what a perfect addition. So latino with a touch of americano. Perfect. The Ranchero sauce had good flavor but really no heat, which was fine. Special requests are no problem at Don Julio. My brother-in-law asked for his favorite dish, Juevos Americano's. The Chef was happy to accomodate. A mix of scrambled eggs, the dish was served with black beans and white rice. It must have been good because before you know it, it was all gone!! My sister-in-law ordered what looked like a Steak dish. It was served with a Chimichurri sauce that was the perfect addtion the the steak. Her plate included a small salad, which balanced the steak nicely. My wife had a yogurt plate. Not exactly latino, but the yogurt was good and the fruit was fresh, firm and sweet. Delicious. If you are looking for latino cuisine with a Guatamalan twist, Don Julio is your place.
