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.

I'd love to give this more than one star but to be honest, I walked in trying to get an açaí bowl…read more The menu does not have a description of what goes into the bowl so I asked and the gentleman behind the bar but he could only tell me "layers" and açaí. Like... there is a picture here what is in this picture? "layers" Was all he could tell me. I will say there was a language barrier so that contributed to my inability to make sure I got what I wanted. My suggestion would be go to another smoothie bar that has better descriptions on their menu. This one was quite confusing on all levels.

Checked out this hip vegetarian restaurant in Evanston. It has been a long time favorite and has a…read morecasual classiness to it unlike many others. Blind Faith Cafe has a pretty great selection of things to choose. Prices can be high but that's to be expected and usually it's worth it. The menu includes things like burgers and salads. Bigger than expected to be honest. It's got a lot of room for banquets and parties. There's quite a few tables. A lot of things to like about it. The prices are one thing not to like though. It's about $17 for the cheapest entrees. Many of these are a lot more. I got the Blind Faith Burger. Pretty typical looking. This comes with a choice of a side. She had the Gardein Chicken Sandwich, which is plant based except for the mayonnaise on it. The rest of the menu includes bakery items like cookies and pastries. For sure this is one of the pioneers of vegetarian places around the area. It's closed Mondays. They accept reservations.

I visited this boba spot with my husband. There was only one employee working both the cashier and…read moremaking the drinks. When I asked what the most popular drink was, the employee struggled with English and ended up responding with something unrelated. Despite the language barrier, he was friendly, tried his best, and was quick in preparing the drinks. We ordered a small KF Milk Tea with boba, 30% sugar, and less ice. Unfortunately, the flavor just wasn't what I expected--it lacked the creamy milk tea taste I was hoping for. This wasn't our first time here, and I remember the drink tasting better on our previous visit, which makes me unsure if I'll return again. It seems like most customers order their drinks to-go, though they do have seating available if you prefer to stay.

Not drinking at the bar, this is taking your beverage on the adventure. Kids running and screaming through the aisles, irritated shoppers bopping into people as they hurry about, who cares, I'm getting buzzed while staring at the raspberries. There's generally one or two of these pioneers whenever I stop by. Classic. A shame the party vibe is thrown by a chunk of the staff generally looking emotionally bludgeoned as they slowly go through the motions. The restocking crew and those filling online orders seem to give not many shits. No excuse me when blockading a shelf or entire section, inconvenienced if you ask them a question, it's not fun. One particular employee has almost run me down a few times and even my five year old. No acknowledgement whatsoever. Clearly she's got a job to do and that job does not involve manners. But then you've got the rest who are friendly, genuinely connected, and are seemingly happy to be there. Helpful all around, good folks. I hope they know they are appreciated, and I hope they never get swept into the depths like their morose comrades. It's a Whole Foods, not much to write home about. They have food and we buy it. But every time I see someone slushing a drink around with a grin on their face while trying to focus on the gluten free crackers, it brings a tear of joy to my eye.

Inside they also have a record player for some ambiance and good music. Their chai is delicious! It was sweeter than I expected but I like it sweet too. On the spicy to sweet scale of chai, this is definitely on the sweet side, so if that's not your bag you'll want to select something else. The menu overall is small, but the drinks are pleasant. They had several scones and although I skipped those, another woman in the shop was buying a scone wheel to bake at home, so I don't deny they piqued my interest. There is a good deal of parking along the street here, but I don't think they have a parking lot. As of March 2023 they are open Friday through Sunday only (see my photo).
