I love raw vegan restaurants for their creativity in creating dishes that requires little to no cooking, which is more challenging than one thinks.The small shop is a womxn owned business and is a cozy, grab and go environment. There were a few seats by the window but I anticipate most people will swing by for something and be on their way.For breakfast, I ordered their Acai Bowl ($15) with fresh fruit, protein powder, and granola. It was a decent sized portion and everything was blended nicely, although their granola felt a bit hard. But you really can't go wrong with acai and other freshness in the morning.They sell a variety of takeout meals including wraps, sushi, lasagna, etc., and yes, all of it is raw so you're really benefiting from all the natural vitamins and minerals in whole foods. It's definitely on the steeper end but I appreciate that it's available to the masses.

Raw is a healthy food haven for somebody looking for healthy snacks and alternatives. A local spot in Chicago we got to meet the owner and her dog. They were super nice and gave us the rundown on the menu. Offering smoothies, shots, meals, bowls, espresso, and teas. It has something for just about everybody here. I picked up one of their smoothies the maca picchu. Bananas, blueberries, almond butter, and the maca picchu blend. This was a great refresher after the workout I had just done. A great spot to check out while you are in Chicago offering healthy drinks, snacks, and food.

When I'm eating raw I enjoy frequenting this place. The food is tasty and they often have samples for you to try. The owner is very friendly and helpful and will try to assist you on your eating raw journey. The ambiance is a small storefront downtown Chicago. I would love to see another location in or near Oak Park, IL.

I had a great time at this spot in Chicago River North after my Barry's class! I enjoyed the acai bowl, chocolate smoothie, and cold-pressed juice--all super healthy and delicious. They also offer a variety of bites to try out. The highlight of the cafe is definitely Miles, the friendly pet there. Such a sweet dog!

Wow, this place completely blows me away. The creativity and ingenuity that it takes to create a raw vegan menu is underestimated by many. Raw vegan restaurants are so few in number because it is so laborious to create each and every single product and this place does an amazing job at representing how far raw food can go. I wish I lived in Chicago so that I could grab food from here every week lol. When you enter the store, you are greeted by little samples and I think it's a great way to get exposure to try different menu items. The service is super friendly and the people are really helpful at trying to talk to you about what items to order and the ambience is kind of like a grab and go deli style situation. I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I got the signature sampler platter, empanadas, and the pizza. As if this wasn't enough (it wasn't), I went back on a separate occasion, and also ordered the nori rolls and the collared burrito. I was so curious about everything and I definitely wanted to try more than what I got. Everything was a pretty interesting twist, and what I love about raw vegan food is that I usually feel very full but also not lethargic. My personal favorite that I got was probably the raw ravioli with the cashew cheese inside the turnip skin. Everything is super exciting and it feels super healthy and I would definitely encourage everyone to give it a try! I wish the owner would release a cookbook so for those of us who do not live in Chicago can try and re-create some of the magic in our own kitchens.

Darling place and delicious food that makes you feel vibrant. I love that the desserts are not too sweet. Loved the Lemon Bar. A little spendy but the good stuff is.

This sweet little shop is raw food HEAVEN. So many amazing raw dishes available in this space. If you're there for the first time, you may be (happily) overwhelmed.My favorites keep changing with each new dish I taste: the Chia Pudding has wonderful texture with the pepitas and the coconut, the Kale Salad is light and yummy, and has the most delicious cashew cheese, squash, and pomegranate seeds, the Lemon squares remind me of some of the best cheesecake I've had, vegan or otherwise. The raw garlic crackers, chips, bread and nuts are incredible too.If you've never eaten raw dishes, you may not 'get' why the food here is so special. This is not greasy, fake-meat veganism. This is RAW. The textures and flavor palette may taste different to you at first. This food is for people who understand how extremely healthy eating raw can be, and are grateful for such an inventive, beautifully managed raw food nirvana.
