Yum yum! Had a hankering for boba and this place satisfies that need. I was in the area and went…read morehere to get a boba freeze. One of my favorite things in the world is Taro so getting a Taro freeze with boba and clear jelly sounds like heaven to me. This is exactly what I got and it was delicious! It wasn't too cold and while there was boba, it didn't overpower the drink itself and neither did the jelly. As expected, this place is overpowered by little youngins with a sweet tooth but I can't blame them. It's not like they made the wait any more longer or shorter. The customer service was good and quick, nothing to complain about. I will continue to come here when I have a boba itch. I've also tried their bingsu which was also really good but....alot. It's packed with red beans which are sweet and delicious, ice cream and fresh fruit. I know for a fact, I cannot finish it on my own so I suggest sharing it with someone else. Other than that, it is certainly a delectable and yummy dessert. Highly recommend. Overall, I will continue to keep coming back here for you Lincolnshire/BG locals, I would encourage you to do the same. Prices are decent and your sweet tooth will be satisfied for sure!

I'm so glad I finally made it in!! The food was refreshing, and a much needed change from the typical "vegan junk food" restaurants you would find in the city (not hating on those places, but sometimes I prefer to walk out of a restaurant without a food baby). I loved that they even purify their water with different elements, such as crystals, to detoxify, and boost positivity. Seriously some awesome vibes in this place! They even have a grab and go section along with an entire wall filled with homemade soaps, knickknacks and what not. Service was phenomenal and anyone who complains about the portion sizes in their review should probably rethink how much they are consuming in one meal. I was plenty full after my meal, and it was the first time I had eaten all day. Pricing is on point for the food, especially since its fresh and organic ($48 for two meals and two drinks - no different than if you were to go to a regular restaurant to stuff your face with processed food and a glass of wine). I had the braised seitan that comes with the house mash and a salad, and I also ordered their Fountain of Youth juice (kale, apple, parsley, celery, ginger and lemon). My friend(non-veg) had the same meal, and a smoothie, and he loved his as well. Highly recommend even if you're not a veg! I will be back :)

Simply the Best: A Love Letter to Scooter's Coffee Mundelein!…read more If you're looking for the absolute crown jewel of Mundelein, look no further. I have been a loyal customer here since day one, and I can honestly say that my life has been significantly more caffeinated--and much happier--ever since they opened their windows! Why This Place is Pure Magic: * Lightning-Fast Service: I don't know how they do it, but the speed here is legendary. Whether the line is empty or wrapped around the building, you'll have a steaming (or icy!) cup of perfection in your hand before you can even finish picking your playlist. * The Ever-Evolving Menu: I love that they never let things get stale. Their rotating menus keep every visit feeling like a fresh adventure. There is always a creative, seasonal surprise waiting to be discovered. * Innovation in a Cup: They are constantly rolling out new drinks that I didn't even know I needed. From their signature Caramelicious to the latest limited-time fruit infusions, the flavor profiles are always spot-on and ahead of the curve. The Heart of the Operation Beyond the beans, it's the people that make this location truly special. The owners are absolutely wonderful--you can tell they truly care about the Mundelein community and take immense pride in what they've built. And the staff? They are the sunshine of my mornings! Always wearing the biggest smiles, incredibly polite, and they handle the morning rush with a level of grace and positivity that is honestly inspiring. Bottom Line: If you haven't been to the Mundelein Scooter's yet, you are missing out on the best part of the day. 10/10, five stars, and a huge thank you to the team for keeping me fueled all these years!

I have been excited about the addition of Bean Bar to our neighborhood in downtown Northbrook for a…read morewhile.  We finally had a chance to visit together before we went to the Art in the Park the Saturday of the Mother's Day weekend!  It totally justified all the hype! Given it was a Saturday, there was an annual art fair in the Village Green close by, and the Mother's Day weekend, we expected it to be very busy, and it was justifiable so.  There was a rather long line placing orders at the cashier, but it moved quickly.  There were many laminated menus for us to read while waiting in line.  The cashier was friendly, patient, and helpful in answering questions.  Our daughter ordered an Avocado Toast and a Berry Zen Refresher.  My husband and I found that a good idea, and each of us also ordered an Avocado Toast, although I had hoped that I got different types of dishes to photograph, lol.  Husband had a Cappuccino, and I had a large Iced Pistachio Latte (oat milk).  This simple brunch came up to $77.34 with tip, and it's worth it. All 3 Avocado Toasts were perfectly made.  All the ingredients were very fresh, although there wasn't a lot of seasoning, the taste of each ingredient worked well together to achieve a delicious dish.  I especially liked the over easy egg and the crispy edges of the warm toast.  My Iced Pistachio Latte was very good without being too sweet. Although the food and drinks were the star, the ambiance was so pleasing and relaxed that totally elevated the entire experience.  The dining room with high ceiling and chandeliers was spacious and beautiful.  There were many different types of seating for patrons -- big comfy couches, regular tables, high-tops, small booths, conference rooms with long table and chairs, small private rooms... not to mention about the large sheltered patio with many tables and seats!  As I have mentioned, we went at a busy time, there were not a lot of tables left for dining purposes, we opted for a high-top.  Even though the venue was almost filled to capacity, it still felt very airy and comfortable.  I could just chill there happily for half a day with my latte! However, there were small hiccups that fortunately did not ruin our first experience there.  My husband's and daughter's drink came out almost instantly after we sat down, but I had to chase down a staff (there's no servers except for the staff who delivered the dishes or cleaned tables) to tell him that my drink was missing.  I told him that it's supposed to be cold but with no ice.  He immediately got me a Pistachio Latte but with ice.  The cashier lady had specified no ice on when she placed the order for me, I talked to her about this and she offered to make me a new one, but I had already had a sip and didn't want to put the drink to waste, so I just kept it.  I later scooped out all the ice so that it did not dilute my drink, and it was good.  I must mention that the food came out in just 5 minutes even though the place was busy. Our high-top table wobbled when we used our knives and forks to cut the toasts, not a very big deal, but the restaurant could easily have that fixed as I am pointing it out now, It's one of the high-tops under the BB sign. This brunch kicked off a very happy Mother's Day weekend.  I was in a very good mood going to the art fair from Bean Bar.  We will definitely return to try the many other items on their menu.

I really want to love this place because it has a lot going for it. The atmosphere is great,…read morethere's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and it's a convenient location. My main issue is the drinks. I've had a couple that were good, like the pistachio latte and dirty lavender chai, but most need improvement. They often taste watered down or mostly like milk rather than the actual flavor. The rose latte, London Fog matcha latte, Turkish coffee, and cardamom cinnamon latte all felt pretty weak. The $0.75 charge for alternative milk also feels high given the drink prices. The bakery items are hit or miss. The tomato basil Danish ($7.50) was delicious, but some cakes and pastries we've tried have been dry. I keep coming back because the space is beautiful and convenient, I just wish the drinks and snacks were more consistent.

I have not had a bad drink yet. Be sure to grab protein balls from the fridge. So good. Expect to spend over $12 for a drink. I've had the strange experience of not the service but listening to entitled customers on multiple occasions. Some customers demanding their order be completed before others who ordered before them just because they were in a hurry and some upset for being charged for strawberries when the standard drink they ordered didn't include strawberries.
