    I felt rushed to make an order. I was asking questions because I haven't had them in a long time. I got the gladiator strawberry. Ended up with a size larger than expected so I give it four stars instead of three.

    The mixed berry parfait looked great in its poster. But what I got was not great. Icy yogurt on top, not smooth. Not much granola. Once I got past the top, I looked in and was like where's the yogurt?! My parfait was a liquid mess of defrosted fruit. I assume the melted fruit watered down what little yogurt there was to create what I got. Yuck! Stick to the blended drinks if you order from them.

    This Smoothie King location was my saving grace at getting in any nutrition before my flight out of Chicago O'Hare International Airport. It was conveniently located across from the United Airlines gate which made it totally acceptable for me to visit prior to boarding my flight. After taking note of the few vegan options available, I ended up ordering a black bean salad w/ an Island Impact smoothie. I enjoyed the Island Impact smoothie, as well as the black bean salad; the taste of the smoothie was surely satisfying prior to and as I boarded my flight, and the black bean salad most definitely came in handy amidst flight. All in all, a good experience with this Smoothie King location. And as indicated in this review, I enjoyed my order and would surely order from again whenever inside of this terminal. ~ Health. Love. Fun. ~ Thomas G

    Friendly staff, delicious and nutritious! Also cheaper than a lot of the options at the airport. Would definitely come back!

    Red Mango Froyo was so good. It was my first time trying it and it was super refreshing after a salty af meal. Got the original in a small cup (perfect size) and it was really fast - last stop at O'Hare before my flight back home. The cashier was really nice as well :)

    While I typically do not buy anything from the airport, due to the natural tendency for inflation and subpar food, I will say that Smoothie King delivered a creamy sweet icy delight that made my wife's frown go upside down (due to natural airport goodness). What I like most from Smoothie King was not the food, but rather the service. The staff were so happy, smiling and engaging that I forgot I was at an airport. For this, I think they deserve recognition. The smoothie (strawberry) was creamy, smooth, but a little bit too sweet and tasted more like artificial flavoring rather than real strawberries, however, that may be my personal biases as I'm not much of a smoothie guy.

    Light years away from a plain chocolate (or vanilla) frozen yogurt!

    Avoid this place!! Ordered a plain chocolate frozen yogurt. Paid the gentleman. He proceeds to make some sort of fruit and granola parfait. I interrupted him and reiterated my order. He shook his head and pointed at the vanilla bean sign on the machine. OK. I like vanilla too. I then asked for no toppings. He ignores me and continues right on making the fruit/granola parfait. I quickly caught on to the scam. Agree to whatever the customer orders, take the cash, make whatever the hell you want. He handed it to me with a "like it or not be off with you" look. Realized no point arguing with this knucklehead. Won't be stopping here the next time I'm in O'Hare!

    Hidden Gem...tons of grab and go Indian and Mediterranean food options. A 180 from the bread capital of the Midwest. Just had a local vegan chana masala (chickpeas and rice) and couldn't finish the container. 330 calories for the total container, 2g sugar and power packed with everything good.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the selection, and the freshness of the donuts left something to be desired. The presentation also took away from the experience. Seeing donuts sitting exposed in boxes where customers can easily view them isn't particularly appealing and doesn't create the freshest visual impression. I tried the maple pecan glazed donut, which was overwhelmingly sweet. Even after just one bite, the intense sugar rush was immediate and overpowering, making it difficult to enjoy the other flavors. The vanilla donut was the better of the two--pleasantly doughy, though it still lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, this was an average experience. The donuts were serviceable, but neither the selection, presentation, nor freshness gave me much reason to return.

We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

And honestly, I think a stop here for all future visits to Wicker Park now rely on this condition being met! While the baked goods are where it is at, the smell alone was worth selling itself. After we got a few whiffs, we made out way to the counter and did the ole "Ill take that, and this, oh and that too..." and ended up with a wide variety of cookies, tarts, danishes and cakes. All of which were absolutely delightful! Out of our haul, the peanut butter cookie was the highlight for me, and the raspberry crumble bar was it for my partner. Everything in between was delish, but a few things definitely stood out! Service was stellar from entry to exit. They knew we were newbies, so they helped us pick the best of the best. The space is gorgeous, bright, welcoming and classic. They definitely let the baked goods be just as much a part of the decor as the actual artwork.
