One of the owners was outside offering samples so I briefly met him and his wife - they seem really nice!! So far, I've tried the grape hydrate (yum!) and the golden girl (a carrot forward) drink - don't normally like carrot juices, but the blend is well done tastes pretty good which is high praise from me! I tried the soul kick which is very refreshing. The collagen acai bowl was excellent (I added a little extra almond butter and coconut flakes), and the smoothie special (it's cherry something) was very tasty. I'm a fan and will become a regular here. Can't wait to try more on their menu!

I stopped by on a Monday and ordered a smoothie and a wrap. The smoothie came out in a reasonable…read moreamount of time, but it was missing ingredients. The food, however, took nearly 30 minutes--and every 10 minutes or so, someone came over to let me know yet another ingredient was unavailable. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and the avocado was rubbery. I felt sick trying to eat it. To be clear, the staff members were incredibly kind and professional--it's not their fault that management can't keep basic ingredients in stock. I even thanked them for their effort and time. But the food itself was just not edible. They kindly brought over the blonde male manager to process a refund, and that's where things went downhill. He was extremely rude and dismissive. I remained polite, but he clearly didn't care about the experience or the quality of what was served. Honestly, he should've been embarrassed--there's no way he would have eaten what I was given. Overall, a horrible experience saved only by the professionalism of the frontline staff. Management, especially the manager I interacted with, was the real disappointment.

I don't know if it is actually open to the public or just for members and guests at FFC. I've been coming here for years, but never realized it had its own Yelp page. Today, I am enjoying a post-swim 12-ounce "Energizer": Orange, cucumber, carrot, and apple juice. It is priced heartily at $6.60, tax included. It is prepared fresh, so be prepared for a short wait for the fresh juices and smoothies. There is also a grab-and-go cooler with many different energy drinks, bottled water, and flavored waters. I think $6.60 for a fresh juice and $7.85 for a fresh fruit smoothie is probably the going rate in this area. That price is too high for me to be a regular thing, but I enjoy one once a month.

When I'm in the area, I enjoy stopping by here to shop. Every item offered for sale here is vetted…read morevery well. Time and effort was placed into this process. The selection of bread, cheese, wine, and produce is great. Publican baked bread alone is a very good reason for stopping in. They are the best bakery in the Chicago area. The wine selection here is not typically what you find at the big box stores. Whoever does the selecting deserves a pat on the back because everything that I have purchased has skewed on the very good to excellent. As a result, I try to stop in whenever I am in the area and have a time. Everyone should make an effort to support local grocers. I bet if you stop in, you will not regret it.

They were talking and forgot about the blender. I had to ask if it was done. He seemed bothered but walked back to the blender and put the "smoothie " in the cup.

Some younger friendly college students were working there and made sure I got everything I needed to dine in at the cute counter by the front. Also I got my stuff only 7 minutes after I ordered! Nice and fast. The only reason I rated 4 stars and not 5 was the seats were small and uncomfortable, and the outdoor area wasn't much better. I'd still give this place a try but do take out

Whole Paycheck, indeed…read more Prices are insane, but the best value here is going to the hot bar and getting some really niche and tasty dishes. There was Indian and Greek options during the time I visited. The staff are polite and friendly. The food is delicious. My father got some of the Italian wedding soup, some cod, and mashed potatoes. I got some fresh rolled sushi. We spent $45. And though it was really good, it wasn't worth $45. We ate in the seating area and it was busy, because the Amazon return center is just past it, so there's constant traffic of randos walking by, which is annoying.

There were some prepared and other foods that I enjoyed, e.g., salmon, pistachios, Caprese sandwich, empanadas (e.g., beef and chicken empanadas), Oasis taboule salad, sweet sesame tofu.

They have a variety of options in coffee, specialty latte, frappes, and pastries. I was disappointed that the lavender latte is only served in the spring. I ordered the 16 oz Cookie Butter Latte for $7.00. Quite expensive. It wasn't bad, I just wish the flavor of the latte was more flavorful and more syrup was added. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and patient with me. I was undecided on what to order when I walked inside. I love the little cute flower station by the wall. Build your beauty.

Buyer Beware: THIS IS HERBALIFE Now then, now that it's out…read morethere let's start. If you are an outsider to the Herbalife world, (like myself) you wouldn't even know looking at this place. That's my first issue, as you can see, a yelper is letting you know, not the actual business! That right there, is wrong. My family and I felt very mislead. Now, I'm not trying to be rude. But hopefully after my review, the company makes some changes. Now, this is not to say Herbalife products don't work or aren't helpful. That I wouldn't know as I've never bought into it (well except today I supposed). That's my second issue with this place. There is no signage in store or on their Instagram page that this is Herbalife based. This is also wrong. A: if you are a proud business owner, why not tell everyone what the main foundation of your company is? B: it is dangerous not to disclose what is going into your drinks i.e. nuts, soy, dairy etc. My family was beyond stoked that we were getting a smoothie joint near the area, and walking distance too! But unfortunately this is not a smoothie bar, where you can pick and choose ingredients like fruits, milks or powders. This is worrisome because no one asked if we had any allergens. What if someone walks in who does and they think they are just getting a regular blueberry smoothie with regular milk? Very very dangerous. There are no nutritional labels near the menu or on the actual cups. This should also be disclosed. Now if you are an avid athlete or you'd just like to kick start your life into a healthier direction, this is great! But again, what are we really drinking? We wouldn't know. I'm giving this place 1 star, not because people where rude or the place was dirty. One star because being mislead is wrong and dangerous. It's wrong to pose as a regular smoothie caffe and charge high prices because there's protein inside. Please disclose the actual company at its roots, please create nutritional labels and please provide allergens. My husband and I spent $16 on two smoothies! We didn't taste (due to Covid) until we were outside. It honestly just felt like we were taken advantage of. It seems like the owner doesn't want to disclose its Herbalife because maybe they will lose out on business. Hopefully my review spares others who plain and simple just don't want these products for whatever reason. It's our right, and this place feels forceful upon inspection.
