    Almond Milk Smoothie And Bean Cheeseburger
    Steve A.

    Found this small cafe that's all plant based if you couldn't tell already. It certainly is one of the more unique places in Naperville. Vegan Bar is actually a juice bar and restaurant. Bad thing is it can be expensive. This is ironic because it resembles fast food mostly. Cramped place inside where you order at the counter. It's only got a few tables so it seems most people get it to go. The menu resembles a typical fast food restaurant. Has a whole bunch of options. There's too much to get, and it's a good thing it's expensive because I would be getting tons of stuff. It's about $9 for a smoothie, of which there's a few flavors. Last time I got the almond milk smoothie. It's made with almonds, bananas, and dates. They also have a few lemonades. It's about $8 for appetizers. These include the Cauliflower Bites, which make a plain vegetable actually palatable. It's about $12 for each main item. The prices certainly add up. A good one is the Barbecue Lion's Mane Nuggets. These are made with the mushrooms and almost taste meaty for sure. Also has burgers. Last time I got the Bean Cheeseburger With Fries. This is made with black beans and has the typical toppings. Has a ton more on the menu. They add more to it so it now has tons of stuff. Great tasting food and plenty of things to get that's not made from animals. It's closed Mondays. There's of course the fact that everything here is okay for vegans.

    Patty Melt w/Fries
    Reginice C.

    We ordered the Nachos, Patty Melt, and 6pc Buffalo Lion's Mane Mushroom Nuggets. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. It's a bit of a hike for us, but when in the area again; I would stop again.

    Chicken tender with fries
    Rupali K.

    Space is small with few tables and chairs. It's right next to DMV. The person at the registrar was nice and helped me make a decision. The coffee machine was not working, so I could not order hot drinks. I ordered shrimp and chicken tenders with Buffalo sauce. Both come with fries, which was good. Shrimp was good, but batter was lacking seasoning and was a little thick for my taste.

    Loaded nachos.

    This tiny spot is well worth seeking out! There is limited but clean & pleasant seating. Friendly service & an impressive menu - it's nice to see so much more than veggie burgers & impossible meat. My daughter had the nachos, with homemade "cheez" sauce & fresh tomatoes & jalapeños. I had the "chkn" wrap with kale, tomato & cucumber. The chkn was perfectly seasoned mushrooms in a sweet mustard sauce. Everything was delicious. I just wish I lived closer so I could order from there more often!!

    Buffalo cauliflower tacos
    Lacy H.

    Such a great little hole in the wall place for vegan food! I got the buffalo cauliflower tacos and they were absolutely delicious. There was only one person cooking, running the counter, and serving food, so there was a bit of a wait but he was so friendly and we didn't mind waiting at all for the exceptional food! My husband enjoyed a vegan burger and he is a meat lover through and through so you know when he compliments the taste of vegan food that it really is good. If I find myself back in Naperville I will definitely want to retur

    I had to go to the DMV, so stopped in for a quick coffee. I was surprised to see it here and as I walked in the place looked very small but had quite a few customers! I quickly placed my order and requested French vanilla but they only had two or three flavors (maybe just update the menu to reflect), so just went with caramel out of the syrups they had. He was about to refund me saying the machine didn't work, but it eventually did and the cappuccino tasted great! I love when new vegan options appear nearby and would definitely consider coming back and trying some food if I'm in the area (the other five star reviews are awesome and super encouraging) :)

    Avocado Cheeseburger

    A must stop if looking for yummy American fare Food! It was well prepared and abundant! Service was courteous. Answered any and all questions! Will definitely be back

    Buffalo chicken wings
    Diane H.

    This was THE best vegan food we've had since moving to Naperville! It hit all the high points including mouth savoring flavor, delightful service, and the best buffalo wings ever! My son loved his avocado cheeseburger and I devoured my "chicken" sandwich with joy in every bite. We also loved the thirst quenching hibiscus passion and orange clementine tea . The service was incredible, the ingredients thoughtful and delicious, and everything was made fresh! The lions mane mushroom ingredient being my favorite! I am so happy with this experience that we plan on making this a weekly event!

    Italian beef with cashew cheese
    Jen D.

    We ate here while visiting family in Naperville. The inside is small, but we were able to sit and enjoy a nice lunch. The Italian beef was delicious! My husband got the lion's mane chicken tenders and he enjoyed them.

    Avocado Avocado Cheeseburger

    Tomato and lettuce were fresh; only things I appreciated with this meal. Burger was burned, bread too moist, fries soft and soaky, it tastes like something was wrong with it. Server communication was super short and felt like not interested in helping or overall serving. There was a hole on the ceiling and dirt and pieces dropped on the floor and the cashier counter. Inside the kitchen did not seem neat and clean. I could understand if something was happening that cause all this but staff were unapologetic about how their restaurant and how they served me and my family. I will look into other vegan restaurants in the area next time.

    The people are great and the food is delicious! The chicken sandwich made with lions mane mushroom is something I would get over and over! Definitely stop by and grab some good food!

Nothing exceptional, nothing disappointing. Quality (B+) The food was not great and it was not bad. I got the steak fajitas and was disappointed with the lack of steak and small portion size. For the amount I paid I was expecting more. Will post pic and you can decide. The family got a mix of tacos. The kiddos like the beef tacos and my wife got a few veggie ones. They liked them but nothing memorable. We were not super hungry and went for an early dinner since it was a school night but finished all the food. I did enjoy the chips and salsa and I liked the beans. I wouldn't go back specifically for them but I would enjoy if I ever go again. Value (B) It was around $100 out the door for 4 people which I thought was a bit expensive. We did get a dessert but no appetizers. It feels like a soulless Mexican concept in downtown Naperville. Yes all the staff is trained and yes the food is not bad. But nothing memorable, just checking the boxes. I probably won't go again but won't object if we decide to go. You won't be impressed but you probably won't be disappointed. There are so many other places I can think of to go for Mexican over this place. If it was cheaper it would be nice - but it is priced too high for the quality and quantity of food. If you have never had Mexican food - this would be a good starter restaurant

Quiubo has fantastic margaritas (some of the best I've ever had) and cocktails. No artificial flavors or syrups are used so they're fresh and delicious every single time. They don't use margarita glasses, which I prefer, since places that do use them typically have bad and overly citrusy/sweet margs. Their bartending staff is limited since the bar space is a little small so drinks can take a while but it doesn't bother me since the drinks are amazing and worth the wait in my opinion. The food is pricey and the portions small, but this is a fancier/gourmet Mexican restaurant. You're paying for the quality ingredients. Aside from the price, the food itself is really good. Even though this place has "fancier" Mexican food, all of it is authentic and delicious. But, like I mentioned earlier, if you want no frills Mexican food, this is not the place for you. I come here at least once a month and am never disappointed! Pricing is on par with Chicago restaurants of this caliber which is the trend Naperville is heading towards so take that into consideration if you're trying to find somewhere cheap to eat.

Its very hard to find spots that can accommodate our very particular palates, and even more hard to find good vegan options outside of the city. Thats why I was excited to find this lovely Italian restaurant. The parking lot is small but there's a good amount of sidestreet parking. The inside is warm, cozy and super clean (including the restrooms ). The hospitality stood out right away. The owners and wait staff were very welcoming, and our server was fantastic; honest (which I appreciate), knew the menu well, and once she realized our situation, gave us some wonderful direction on what to order. I wouldn't say that the menu is overwhelming, but I rarely go to a restaurant where it takes me that long to decide what I want. There are lots of interesting options, from braised short rib ravioli to baked ziti, and several tasty appetizers (highly recommend the calamari). But we had come for the PIZZA. My daughter got the kids cheese pizza. It was surprisingly bigger than we thought, and at a great price. The kid only ate half before she said, "I like it...this might be better than [insert famous Chicago pizza brand]." (you MUST KNOW that this is high praise from a 3rd grader). My wife ordered the "They Don't Have Beef With Me" vegan Detroit-style pizza, and I have to admit, it was very good. Somehow they pulled off a buttery (but not butter) crust with melty vegan cheese (but NOT cheese ). Absolutely nailed it. I would have eaten more of hers if I hadn't ordered the Butcher pizza from the wood-fired menu. It was OUTSTANDING. Great flavor, perfect texture. Easily one of thee best wood-fired pizzas I've ever had. We're not drinkers, but they do have a good wine list and some nice zero-proof options, including the Amber Apple and The Drip. We didn't make it to dessert, mostly because the portions are generous, so our bellies (and our to-go boxes) were full. We will definitely be back to try other menu options and for dessert. If your family or friend group includes picky palates or dietary restrictions (the pizzas can be made gluten-free as well), then run...don't walk...to Fiammé. 100/10 recommend.
