This time I ordered some flatbreads for order pickup through the app. It was very easy and our order was ready at the designated time. We tried the Chicken Pesto, Chicken Bacon Ranch and the Mango Bacon Brie. All three were pretty good, they had enough sauce on them and the chicken was not dry. Each flatbread also came with 1 side of your choice, chips and or apple/banana were included as sides. We got chips and that was the perfect compliment to the flatbread.

This location is convenient for me as I frequently pass by this plaza. Never had any issues with ordering from the app, and it's always been ready by the time I get there. My wife gets the Mango Magic and I usually get either the Peanut Butter Cup or Mocha Madness with whey protein. Fast service and always tastes great!

Very clean, fresh ingredients

We really enjoyed this hidden gem in a busy shopping center. The employees were so kind and patient. They were busy and took their time with us. Very fresh ingredients, and so many different options. Download the app because they do offer rewards for ordering with them. I will definitely be back. Oh, don't forget to try the edible straw. So much fun!!!

See how small this wrap was.... expensive for the tiny amount....

Wraps are kiddie size or snack size for the normal sized wraps I am used from other establishments. This wrap combined would have fit one half of Grill Houses wrap. Apple Kale slaw is too heavy on mayo of some kind it was offputting with soggy apple bit that was limping like a noodle for a side dish option. No way am I spending that much money again for a smoothie and a "kids meal". Barely a taste of peanut sauce in the thai chicken wrap there also were undetectable portions of wonton. Ill go to the store and make myself the same thing. Will I order from them again? Probably not. Was trying an healthy option though. Smoothie was nothing to write home about as other places nearby makes really good ones as this smoothie had chocolate, strawberry and banana. Banana makes smoothies more creamier... this one had no factor of creaminess nor a strong banana taste to it. I had to hunt for the flavor. The food goodness is just not jiving well today from them.

Super Sunrise Sunset Smoothie

Very nice customer service. They don't want to disappoint you. Taste is great I personally recommend there new flavor Super Sunrise Sunset. Would definitely come here again in the summer

Loved how many options of bowls they had, though mostly it's different combinations of banana, blueberries, strawberries, cacao nibs, and coconut shreds. Peanut or almond butter are also selections, as are pistachios, which were on my Goin' Back to Cali bowl. For some reason, I was left with a medicinal aftertaste after eating my bowl, and I'm not sure if it was the açaí base or the coconut shreds that were the culprit. The bananas used were also not quite ripe and ready to go and tasted a bit green, if you know what I mean. It's $13.50-15 per 16oz bowl, and there are (cashless) kiosks where you can place your order. An introvert's dream! Easy street parking, and there are a handful of seats to dine in here. Plenty of smoothie options too.

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 love the brick walls, high ceilings, and the wide variety of seating areas - both indoor and out. Staff here is wonderful, very friendly with top-notch service.

Bean Bar is the perfect place for both personal and work gatherings... or to just hang out by yourself.

Instead, the employee suggested ordering a menu item that she said was similar. We took her recommendation, but after trying it, the kids didn't like the taste and would have preferred the simple smoothie they originally wanted. When my wife asked if it could be exchanged, we were told that because we ordered a menu item, it could not be changed. We ended up spending nearly $90 for five items, and unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed. Good customer service means helping customers when a recommendation doesn't work out, especially when it involves children. We felt the business was more concerned about making the sale than ensuring customer satisfaction. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Prices are fair, not the cheapest you'll find but in line with this area of the suburbs. They also have tapioca, jelly, popping bubble, and crystal bubble if you want some variety. Overall, a relaxing spot to enjoy Asian inspired bubble tea and other drinks in the area with a good selection and fair prices.

You can order from the menu's bowls, wraps or salad or "walk the line" and build a dish from the ingredients set up a la Chipotle. I ordered the first thing -- Superfood because it sounded healthy but I didn't know what was in it (my bad). The calorie counts, carb counts are not listed anywhere and not on the website. It was ok, probably more protein than I needed. Personally I could have done without the raisins (I looked it up - raisins have many benefits) so the salad was ok. My companion really enjoyed their Carolina grains bowl. We also ordered chips and hummus. I think because I am confused by Currito it won't be top of mind for me when I am selecting a place to eat. Do I want a healthy bowl, do I want a salad, do I want a wrap--will I be thinking of Currito? There were a few people stopping in to pick up and we were the only people dining in. It could be that others are confused by Currito as well.

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 :)
