Came here as a +1 for a Yelp event and have already made a return trip for their Warm Bowls!…read more I tried the Cilantro Lime Chicken and at first glance, you kind of think to yourself is this going to fill me up? And yes, to my surprise I was very satisfied. Staff accommodate you nicely if there are things you want to substitute. The space itself doesn't have a ton of seating (mainly have tables that can seat up to four, with about 7-8 tables total?). These kind of meals appeal to me since they are healthy and clean. Would definitely return!

Within a week of participating at the Yelp Experience at Just Salad, I already ordered from the…read moreNorthbrook location again!  This officially set a record in my book that a newly added eatery in our rotation was so quickly re-visited!  It was all because I was so happy with my Yelp experience and wanted a simple and healthy late lunch for a weekday. I truly enjoyed the Peruvian Chicken Market Plate I got from the Yelp experience that was fresh and flavorful.  This time, although I went with a "build your own market plate" ($12.99), I basically used all the combinations from the Peruvian Chicken Market Plate except for substituting the plate's Cacique Grated Cotija, Roasted Corn, Overnight Pickled Onions with Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower and Kale Chickpea + Seed Salad. For BYO Market Plate, you get to select 1 base, 1 protein, 4 ingredients from curated sides (combos are 2 ingredients each), 1 garnish which is optional, and dressing that you can specify the amount such as medium. Again, the braised chicken was tender and tasty, all the ingredients were very fresh, and the whole meal flavorful and delicious.  Portion was large that I had leftovers.  Since it was such a healthy meal, I was not guilty getting an Andy's Amazing Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($1.49) which was gooey, comforting, and rich! Since I ordered online and had already paid, it was very quick and easy to pick up.  The eatery was bright, clean, and comfortable with a cheerful indoor mural of the town of Northbrook by the booths.  The place was pretty quiet at an off-peak time.  Staff were friendly and efficient. Just Salad offers not just salads, their extensive menu includes warm bowls, wraps, market plates, smoothies, and soups!  Prices are reasonable.  We are happy that  there's a Just Salad located so close to home!  We will sure keep returning to try other items on their menu!

Solid sweetgreen location, this one is conveniently near my workplace and delivers a reliable fresh…read morebowl at fairly reasonable prices. Of the different spots to get a healthy salad nearby like Panera and Cafe Zupas I'd say sweetgreen is probably the healthiest though it doesn't have as nice of seating as the other options, and a bit more limited selection of menu items as they focus on giving the freshest salads with quality sourced ingredients, but fewer options to choose from as a result. Fortunately, if going with friends that are looking for other options there's plenty of different restaurant options in this area of Deerfield. The bowls are filled pretty generously with a good amount of protein. Flavor combinations are good, probably the most savory feeling of the different similar concepts available. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are reasonable. Parking can be a challenge at times in this busy shopping center, so it's not a bad idea to get carryout outside of normal meal hours. Overall good choice if you're looking to eat healthy and tasty, without spending a ton of money for a filling meal.

Sweetgreen had been on my list to try for a while. The number of restaurants that serve healthy…read morefood is limited. Sweetgreen serves only salads. Their menu has a lot of choices. I got the barbecue chicken salad while my husband had the harvest salad. Both salads were big and had lots of fresh ingredients. Everything was crisp and flavorful. I suggest getting the dressings on the side so that you can control the flavor. You could even see the ingredients being prepared. I enjoyed watching the greens they used being pulled off the branch. The salads were good but were too big to finish in one sitting. I hope that they add a half salad option to the menu. The servers were very nice and friendly. I will be returning to Sweetgreen.

Been to a lot of açaí bowl spots, and this place by far has it together! Great location,…read moreaesthetically 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!!

"Thank you" is customary when someone spends $40 on a loaf of bread and a couple pastries. But not here, here YOU'RE DOING THEM the favor, or at least that's how it seems. Some training to make the customer feel like they're not bothering the employees just by walking in is definitely in order!

What a gem of a find! Not only do they have THE BEST non-dairy coffee smoothie drink thingy I've ever had, they are totally Celiac friendly so I am able to indulge in all of their treats (which are also super fire). To top it all off, the staff and owners are just darling and so sweet and welcoming. Amazing little spot!!

Though a bit obscure and hard to find, those who want a good sandwich know where to go. There is a curated selection of Italian, French and German sandwiches. This was my first visit so ordered a Cipriani with Italian mortadella, marscapone(!), arugula, pistachios and balsamic. It was the marscapone that sold me, but this was generously portioned and (let's be honest) messy for me to eat because the sandwich was piled high. I had to take half to go. I heard a few orders for the Gusti dal Nord (prosciutto, Gorgonzola, arugula and pear), and that sounds enticing as well. The bread is fresh and crusty. They had a tomato soup the day I was there, and I read on the website that they have pierogato -- Eastern European dumplings.

The decor and is a simple warm country style. A lot of natural wood makes you feel at home. Nothing corporate about this place or these folks. I cannot say enough about their hospitality! The menu is straightforward and descriptions explain exactly what you are ordering. Their offerings are fresh and ingredients simple but exotic when combined. It's a healthy version of the crepe and you feel good about anything you order. So much if what they offer is literally made in house fresh from scratch. As well, they source local to provide the best ingredients and keep it local as possible. The sweet or savory crepes are not small and are a meal unto themselves. No being stingy on freshest of ingredients here. They load their offerings up. They is something for everyone here including the young children. They also have a great selection for beverages. Again, fresh and healthier than most. A big turn on is their iced coffee served with coffee iced cubes! Think about that. As well, they serve their house made fresh sauces to go. Don't be caught without them in your fridge. They keep it fun here and they make the guilty pleasures seem okay. I wanted to take more photos but when I sat down I devoured my first crepe so quick I forgot to snap a shot. I suppose it's just reason to return very soon.

They weren't awful, but they weren't great, either. My cafe mocha was mostly coffee with just a hint of mocha. Next time I'll try tea as a better litmus test! The service was friendly, though a tad slow. But that gave us some extra time to peruse the shop, so it worked out fine.
