    The Joy Bar
    Mark B.

    A juice bar is exactly what downtown Glen Ellyn has needed! This quaint little shop has pre-made juices, fresh-pressed shots, made-to-order smoothies, and some healthy snack options that won't put a significant dent in your wallet. The space is saturated with natural light, populated with a few tables (and a corner, window bench), and staffed by friendly and inviting people. The vibe is chill and relaxing, a great place to unwind. Do yourself, and your body, a favor and drop in for a drink or a snack, you won't be disappointed. This was my first visit and I already cannot wait to come back.

    Wrong order. I ordered the Hilltopper Bowl with no coconut but received a bowl filled with blueberries, coconut and granola only. The bowl was good but too much açaí inside. However I would have preferred to get the bowl I ordered which includes strawberries and bananas also. Two stars are missing due to wrong order, large portion of açaí and no answer to my numerous calls to the restaurant.

    Avocado toast with sriracha and a Refresher.

    Nice little smoothie and toast shop. Tried the avocado toasy with red pepper flakes cherry tomatoes, greens and sriracha and was quite tasty. Clean, modern space, friendly service.

    I stopped in today and the early morning crew was helpful and upbeat. The menu was so expansive and healthy right up my alley! I will be a regular--so much better then those big chains you know who. Today I got the Buzzed with Cold Brew and took some fresh pressed juice to go. What a healthy, delicious and quaint little spot in the downtown. I love small biz. Nice work!

    See all

    Great menu and great service. Ingredients were fresh and prices were fair given the quality. Will be back for sure.

    The smoothies and salad are beyond delicious and the avocado toast is amazing.

    TL,DR * slow service…read more* overpriced * one worker was running the place by themselves * good taste at least Long version: I went into this place with high hopes based on their reviews. My food took over 30 minutes to be made. The food was good but it was $12 for a tiny bowl that fell apart when I opened it, way over priced for the amount received. I had to use the lid as a second bowl. Management should just order larger bowls. $1 upcharge for substitution of almonds instead of coconut. The poor worker was there all by herself with a line to the door. If they're understaffed the manager/owner should be helping but there was no manager on duty, which is why I'm writing this. They know they are understaffed. It's not fair to the worker to deal with poor management.

    I've been eating at Bonita bowl for close to a couple years now. I love their Bali acai bowls. The…read moreissue this past year has been consistency which is so sad. When we first started coming here, the base was blended so smooth, the granola was always fresh and tasty, and the ratio to acai blend vs toppings was great! My husband and I grabbed 2 bowls last night and these 2 were the worst ones we've had. I probably won't be back for a while. The consistency of the açaí bowl wasn't smooth. A little grainy and potentially too much ice mixed it. It barely had flavor. The granola was almost stale. It tasted like it was sitting out for a very long time uncovered. The ratio of smoothie to topping ratio was also terrible. It was like they filled the sides with acai mix, filled the center up with granola, it was very unpleasant. This was the first time my husband and I actually threw our bowls out, it was that bad. I do hope they get to how they used to. With the increased prices, they need to maintain quality, and quality has been severely lacking. I try to support my local businesses because I know it's not easy being forced to raise prices given this economy, but if you cut on quality you won't retain my business. Truly hoping this place changes!

    Was around the area and was craving for a smoothie. I was going to order on the app to pick up but…read moreI was trying to decide between 2 different smoothies for my friend, so I just went inside. It wasn't too busy when I walked in, but was definitely greeted! The drive thru seemed consistent for a Sunday evening. The staff were friendly and also gave a good recommendation! My go to order is always the angel food slim. Love it! I was looking at green smoothies for my friend because it was what she wanted but couldn't decide between 2 different ones. I was recommended to get the collagen power pineapple kale (one I was looking and leaning towards) and my friend loved it!!

I spoke with Abe and he assured me that he would make sure my order had everything I needed . When my order arrived, it was missing three of the toppings so I called and then got to Iliana, who said she was a manager, but by her poor communication skills, attitude, and unwillingness to help the customer I'm not sure how that's possible . I asked if I could have the name of the employee that I spoke with for reference, and her response was " Why are you gonna put a complaint on him?" I then responded and told her I have a right as a customer to know who I spoke with. That's why we have name tagged at jobs. It's not a secret of the names of the people who work here. I have an account with Smoothie King and I visit here every single day, and have never received such horrible unprofessional bottom of the barrel customer service. Not only was she rude, but she hung up the phone when I told her that I was going to escalate this matter and she said and I quote." I don't care go ahead and do it." someone needs to remove this young lady from her position and give her proper training never again.
