We tried avocado toast, almond butter banana toast, an açaí bowl with PB swirl, the PB banana breakfast bowl, a few smoothies, and a turmeric latte. The açaí bowl was thick and filling and the PB swirl was so good. The toasts were simple but hit the spot, especially the almond butter banana. The smoothies were refreshing and didn't taste artificial, and the turmeric latte was warm and comforting. The staff was amazing and super friendly. Definitely will be back.

A friend wanted to try "Turkish Coffee" so off we went in search of it nearby. We found it on the…read moremenu of Two Libras, which is a "Euro-ish" coffee stop in an alley in downtown Palatine. They have a large selection of hot and cold drinks, smoothies, pastries, and a variety of "French-ish" sandwiches. On another visit, I'll order food, but today was all about coffee, and since I lived in the French enclave in the US, New Orleans, for an extended time, without glancing at the menu, I automatically asked for a cafe au lait, but the counter man had no idea what I was talking about. So it was cappuccino time, even tho it was past the taboo hour for ordering in Italy. It was perfect. As was the Turkish coffee. Note tho, my friend ordered non cow milk in her Turkish and there was a 75 cent upcharge for that. I'll return and dive into some of the sandwiches soon, which all sound interesting. Gender neutral bathrooms were immaculate.

I came here on a hot summer day after dining for lunch outside at a restaurant nearby. If I would have known earlier about this place, I would have saved some room to try their acai bowls. Parking - lots of free parking near Outdoor walk through option available for those that have dogs and want to order / pick up from outside. Atmosphere - great to come hangout with friends, family or by yourself to get some work / reading done. Washroom - the toilets don't flush well and it wasn't the most clean washroom I've seen.. Costs - ranges from $5.99-$13+ depending on what you order.. may be costly for a drink but it's yummy & fresh fruit! Handcrafted bowls, breakfast bowls, smoothies to wellness shots Pink Flamingo Smoothie ($8.59 small / $10.59 regular) - the smoothie isn't only pretty in color but also tastes great! It is healthy with its mixture of fruits and not too sweet, just right on sweetness level (doesn't tastes like those drinks loaded with sugar)..if you like extremely sweet drinks maybe ask for more agave nectar added I'll be back to try their acai bowls if I'm in the area

Not sure if it was the owner who gave me a sample of the peanut butter granola and peanut butter chia pudding, but it was a perfect helping just "to try" and, wow, but my heart was warmed when a person of need walked into the place and she she handed him a banana. It was clear that the interaction was routine, but she had no problem giving him something to eat and it made me so joyous to see such a charitable thing. She also spoke to him like a person, not as someone that would be less because he has less. Clearly this place is run by a good person too. Bonus: the young man behind the counter made a little too much for my small smoothie so upgraded my size at no charge. Thank and God bless!

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 :)

I can only comment as to the paletas as that is all I have tried at any of the locations. Ordering was a bit difficult as they did not have labels for the paletas and I can barely speak any Spanish. The staff was extremely kind and helpful so I was still able to order my usual, cream based mixed fruit. It was ok, had more ice texture to it and flavor and wasn't as creamy as I was expecting. Of all the La Michoacana locations I still find the Mt. Prospect location to be the best.

The same great flavors that I've come to expect from La Michoacana but with more than ice cream and…read morepaletas, including banana splits, milkshakes, crepes, yogurts, mangonadas, aguas, and more! As usual, the thing that really makes this stand out for me is how they use so much fresh fruit in their preparations with such reasonable prices, and how there's so many unique flavors available that are pretty hard to find anywhere else (like dragonfruit). The lines here are long, but they do manage to serve people fairly quickly and the space is pretty spacious so people don't feel cramped. I also like how there's a good amount of parking and it's not right off the main road so there's plenty of space to hangout outside as well. The inside of the store is clean and attractively decorated as well. The only downside I really experienced was not having the flavors labeled for the ice creams and sorbets. Fortunately, everything I tried was delicious, but it would've been nice to be able to check out all the flavors while waiting in line so that I would've been able to also save time in asking the staff while being served (that may have also made the line move even faster). Overall, delicious and worth a visit if you're looking to enjoy some sweet treats.

This Jamba Juice store was a literal oasis- I asked for my bottles to be filled with ICE and topped with juice- expecting to be charged a pretty penny for them. The kind clerk did not even charge me, I guess because my order was 90% ice. I would've gladly paid for it because I was so overheated and thirsty. This small act of kindness was worth gold in my mind and is worthy of a 5 star review!

I have tried getting bowls at various places and was consistently disappointed. I expected this place wouldn't be better but boy was I wrong. I walked in during the midafternoon probably about 3:30 and I was immediately helped. The young girl behind the counter took the time to explain what each choice was. There were a few sears at a counter and there was a bench. It was bright and. Leans and giant windows to let in all the sunshine. It was really a very nice eating spot if you choose to eat there. I ordered two items. The first was their Lolo's Bowl which had açaí, granola, honey and fresh berries and it was delicious. The other was a special they were having that month. It had lime, oil, granola, açaí, kiwi, blueberries and other things and this one is fantastic. Loved everything about this place. Their help is nice and bubbly.
