The Yummiest Juice Bars & Smoothies in Chicago

Smoothie RX

★★★★☆ 3.8 (22)

"I happen to come across this place when I was visiting a spa next door. This place offers non-GMO, organic, no added sugar, and preservative free smoothies, juices, and bowls. I purchased the kids Acai bowl and Dr. Citrus to go. Fyi, there portions are huge! For me the kids bowl was more than enough. The Dr. Citrus was surprisingly good. I will definitely be back to try some more cold pressed juices. The only drawback they do not offer caloric or nutritional information fr ay of their food items."

Teamo Boba Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (37)

"It was like 7 bucks for a cup. Taste average. The price tag is probably for the vibe, gold and cute can/cup, pink napkins.A very girly store. And most of the customers are girls.This place sells like all asian/boba things. The boba drinks for one.They also sell boba plushy. Mochi donut (don't know if they're good tho). Coconut pudding- we were gonna get it but they're like 7-10 bucks, yikes. And fresh thai coconut.We had to give this place a try cuz they keep showing up wherever we go in chicago."

Poke San

★★★★★ 4.6 (17)

"YUM! We live in the neighborhood and loved this place when it used to be Real Good. We're so excited to finally have a restaurant back in this location! I tried the Hawaiian bowl, friends got the build your own. It was so good- surpassed all of our expectations! Authentic, fresh, tasty poke. Loved the spicy tuna and spicy salmon. Fresh ingredients, great fish, and so many options. Staff was so sweet and we love what they've done with the space inside. Have already been back. This will be a great addition to the neighborhood for summer lunches and pool days! They offer takeout, along with some other teas and specialty beverages. Highly recommend!"

Le Café Station

★★★★★ 4.7 (29) • $$

"Ambience - cute, unique decor, intimate w upbeat music (at the right volume!) Food - great! I appreciate a breakfast that I can't make myself at home. I recommend Carnitas skillet, horchata latte, avocado toast, fruit plate is not your lazy fruit plate - fresh w variety. My kid loves the coconut chicken and waffles Service - very friendly. Depending how crowded you might wait a little for your food but it comes out hot.Right off the western blue line."

Matcha Cita

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (17)

"Cute, Instagramable matcha spot. It's located in the Studio Three so after your workout, you can grab a matcha, smoothie, or some grub. The woman who made my matcha was friendly and nice. I ordered the hot matcha horchata. While it wasn't the best matcha I've had or made, I liked it. It was a bit gritty (from the rice I assume?), but a good whisking will alleviate that. I recommend watching some of Veggiekin's IG videos on how to make matcha for some help.Anyway, it was still a good vibe. I worked on my planner while sipping on my matcha. If I'm in the area again, I definitely want to try some of the food items on the menu!"

Yummy Yummy Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (758)

"If you are a Jewish American that grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland like me chances are you've had your fair share of Americanized Chinese food growing up. Even after living in China and being exposed to "real Chinese food" (and LOVING it) sometimes I get nostalgic for the fake stuff. Yummy yummy Asian cuisine hits the spot of all the greatest hits -- egg foo young, pork fried rice, eggrolls are all solid and full of that msg flavor. I've never been here in person, only ordered carry out. The bubble tea smoothie is solid too. I'm a bit skeptical of the food from other Asian countries on the menu haha."

Queen Sheba

★★★★★ 4.9 (26)

"I couldn't find the place at first. It's right across from the post office with the entrance facing the street rather than the parking lot. It's the most quaint tiny little store front.Very tasty and clean food. The bread loafs were huuuge and I ate the entire piece given how light and fluffy it was. The owner/ chef was warm and welcoming.My only complain was that some of the ingredients (onion?) were sharp and filled the small space, which was a bit uncomfortable for my sinuses."

Meli Cafe & Juice Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (1034)

"A really good breakfast cafe. It has many common breakfast favorites. Meli often gets a big crowd especially on weekends. Certainly it gets annoying having to sit and wait but that's a good sign this place is ass kicking. The menu contains some surprisingly healthy choices including plant based stuff. I came with the girl at breakfast. Lunch time they're also open but the breakfast menu is the way to go. This has most of their best options. Pancakes are many peoples' favorite. They really pile then load these up. It can be hard for a vegan at breakfast. Most places have nothing for you. Awesomely this does. This is also beyond just the avocado toast. Prices are okay. They're average to kind of high but you get big portions. I was able to snag us a table at breakfast. We got the Vegan Pancakes. It's $15 for a few. These are topped with bananas and strawberries. Good and fluffy. They didn't skimp. Good for anything you can get at breakfast. It gets crowded so make a reservation. There may not be much trouble for a couple people but larger parties should call ahead for a table."

Taste Of The Middle East

★★★★☆ 3.9 (75)

"Food delicious, people wonderful. Customer service awesome. Prices great, very clean. Will elaborate later! I am so hungry and it smells so wonderful. I about to bust my neck! Lol. I have been waiting to come while it was open for the longest!!! Mmmm. There's soon much to choose from. Yaaaas!"

Viet Taste

★★★★☆ 4.3 (136) • $$

"I have been to Viet Taste a number of times, for dine-in as well as carry-out.  Most recently, I went there on a Saturday around noon, and it was not too crowded.  This time, I had the combo soup noodle - with beef slices, brisket, tendon, tripe, and meat ball. What I like about Viet Taste is its quick service.  The soup noodle came out in about 5 minutes after I had placed the order.  It was quite tasty, although some tiny pieces of beef slice were a bit chewy. But I would say that it was an exception rather than a normalty.  Usually, the beef was pretty tender.  Overall, the soup noodle bowl was delicious, and I liked it. It should be noted that Viet Taste only accepts cash.  And it is not just for dine-in. For this reason, you cannot order carry-out online (and pay by credit card). You have to call-in by phone and then pay cash when you pick up the order. Viet taste is a good Vietnamese eating place, with quick service and reasonable prices.  I would recommend it."

Aglaïa Coffee & Tea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (36)

"A friend & I were in the mood for a coffee meet up. So we decided to try Aglaia Coffee & Tea co. since we had never been. We wanted a place tucked away off the beaten path. I had driven by many times so I was looking forward to our visit. I love this area because it is not overrun with crowds. Not yet anyway...Wow! It was so much more than I expected! Stylish. Attractive. Cozy. Brick walls, artwork, huge windows and a marble counter create a beautiful space. There's a bit of a mid-century vibe about the place and it all works. They offer coffee, tea, savory and sweet bites. My friend's avocado toast looked great and she said it was delicious. She loved her cortado and my oat milk matcha latte was incredible. The surprising thing is they also sell homemade healthy dog treats, beautiful candles and more. They were doing wreath making classes today too. I am a fan and will certainly return soon!"

Yep Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (54)

"This newish casual restaurant has been open for a year and it's just great, like 5 stars great! They have a huge menu, very reasonable prices, big and delicious serving sizes, and a clean, airy, modern, and spacious dining room. They also have an easy to use e-pad for ordering a wide variety of dishes and with helpful and enticing photos of all of these dishes. The e-pad ordering is also handy for being able to specify no or less salt, no MSG, less sugar, less oil, etc, which is really a nice touch. Flagging down one of the rotating servers was easy and after ordering, the piping hot food came out without much of a wait. For this lunch outing, our party of 4 ordered 3 different bowls of congee (each $7.49), a Mongolian beef which was mine and $8.49, and an order of pork liver rice noodles ($5.49). All of the servings were very generous and great values. The congee is a simple dish, but when it's done right as it is here, the flavor is deep and rich and it's a very homey comfort food, and that's what they have here. The big dining room was busy and that's another confirmation of the value here given all the competition in Chinatown Square. I can't wait to return and try something else."

Frera

★★★★★ 5 (18)

"Cute spot with friendly service, lots of sunshine, plants and seating. Great smoothies (I had the papaya mint and yum!), counter culture coffee (next time!), and a case of delicious looking vegan desserts. A nice addition to the neighborhood."

Le Café Station Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (42)

"First time eating here. We ordered this to go. I was super tired from travelling and in no shape to cook. My husband grabbed this. Overall food was good. I got the chicken Mediterranean wrap and my husband got the gyro. Food was hot and price was reasonable. I would of like more sauce on my wrap as I felt it was kinda dry. Eager to try this place in person."

Little Sandwich House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (35)

"What an incredible addition to the neighborhood! This cafe has all the food & drink classics: coffee, smoothies, tea, sandwiches, salad, pastries. It's beautiful, inside and out; so colorful with the absolute coziest seating. Best iced vanilla latte I've had in so long. The owner mentioned they will be expanding the menu with fun seasonal items as the year goes on. Find parking right across the street. Stop in to enjoy indoor dining or outdoor seating on their front patio."

Cellars Market

★★★★☆ 3.9 (82) • $

"In the cellar on the north side of the CBOT building. Take the stairs, although someone will get you up/down the elevator if there's a physical need. Speaking of needs, the cashiers have keys for the bathrooms, which are near the vault. This is really really good for a cafeteria. Salad bar, sandwich station, sandwiches, baked goods, a Tex-Mex station, and a "grill" that's had stuff as wide ranging as rigatoni, pot pie, burgers, rice bowls, eggplant and chicken parm, fried fish sandwiches, and reubens. The rice bowl with skirt steak was excellent -- I've been to high end steak joints that didnt have skirt steak as good as this. The tacos are solid, too. In the various work groups that have been here, no one has ever had a complaint or criticism."

Che Thai

★★★★☆ 4 (25)

"I travel to Thailand frequently and this restaurant reminds of trips to Bangkok for the great street food. I had Pad Thai with extra spice, my bride got the vegetarian and gluten-free option of the same. We both really liked the food. They even gave us a small free spring roll appetizer. Again very good food. But it was the happy helpful workers that really made our day. Both were native to Thailand and had the famous ever pleasant attitude and smiles. Since they have lived in. Chicago for years, no language barriers exist. But it was fun using my limited Thai to speak with them both. We plan to go back often, for the great food, great prices, and great service/smiles."

My Place

★★★★☆ 3.5 (262) • $$

"Great setup indoor and outdoor with great deals on unique cantonese food! Price $12 including meal, tip, and drink. | Rating 9/10 Pros: Unique dishes, Low price, good drinks.Cons: None.Girlfriend brought me here for "Tea Time" and we decided to sit outside. The whole places feels lovingly designed with a modern feeling but also quaint things like lazy susan and plants on the rails. Service is basic and that is perfect for me. Staff will take your order, refill your drinks, and leave you in peace until you want a bill.The food and its price was the true winner! For $9 you get a large rice or noodle meal with a drink! The dishes are not basic Ameri-Chinese food either. The Portuguese Chicken baked rice was one most different and delicious things I have tried with a mild spiced curry on top, plenty of protein, and a side of toast and egg! Incredible deal under $10.Highly recommend this place on any of their special dining meals and I bet their standard meals are worthwhile too!"

Eggs Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (206) • $$

"Eggs, Inc. is on the first floor of my obstetrician's office, and I hadn't heard of it before. When I've gone to an appointment I haven't stopped in but yesterday I had an appointment and headed to work after so decided to get something for lunch. The restaurant is large, and whenever I've passed by on the way to the doctor they've never been very busy. I ordered mine to go so I could get to work and it took about 10 minutes.They have an extensive menu, lunch and breakfast, and though I love an omelet I decided to go with the reuben of the classic variety (they have a turkey reuben as well, and I have to admit it was hard to decide between the two). The sandwich was really quite good. Unfortunately I totally forgot about the thousand island, which I found later in a bag that had the side of soup that comes with the sandwich. But even without the dressing it was excellent and I'd happily order it again. It's making me hungry for one right now, actually.The soup was less good. They had chicken noodle and split pea, so chicken noodle it is! But unfortunately the chicken noodle tasted like something that came out of a can, with pressed cubed chicken and all. It went in the trash after a couple bites but luckily the sandwich was huge and filling."

Matcha Cita

★★★★☆ 3.8 (122) • $$

"Very cute interior, but the drinks were just okay considering they were about $8 after tax. I got the Matcha Horchata this visit and it was definitely more horchata than matcha - which was not bad, just unexpected! If you want a strong matcha, this might not be the ideal spot.A big highlight is the docor and friendly staff here! They're really quick at making drinks too. A lot of people seem to do work here. Lots of seating."

Mora Mia Smoothie Bar and Cafe

★★★★★ 4.9 (15)

"Tucked away in Little Italy/Pilsen you will find Mora Mia. What I love about breakfast here is that it's low-key and away from the weekend warriors of Chicago. Most importantly, their coffee is fantastic along with the food. I had an iced latte and a southwestern omelette. The latte came out in a straw-free optional to-go container. It was easy to drink out of with the reassured feeling that you're saving the wildlife from plastic straws. The southwestern omelette what delicious. I covered it with hot sauce which made it even better. The day was perfect for dining outside. I couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. Come here for a breakfast that is away from all of the weekend madness!"

Lemme Get Ummm

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (14)

"First off, let me say I ordered off Uber Eats for delivery, so I didn't have waiting issues like others who left reviews. I ordered the salmon Philly and I really enjoyed it. The sauce was sweet and savory. I do think they put too much sauce on the sandwich and it takes away from the other toppings on it. The sauce is supposed to have Dusse in it, but I cannot say I tasted a cognac flavor in the sauce, so if you're looking for that flavor, don't order, because it doesn't add too much uniqueness to the sauce/dish. The sandwich was a bit small, but had a ton of salmon, which I appreciated. I think a bit of tweaking to the sandwich would make it a home run. Overall, I did really enjoy the sandwich and would order again from this place (obviously not in person though)."

High Tide Poke

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (69) • $$

"The Tide is High! (Cue Blondie music.)With the addition of High Tide Poke in the Loop, there are now 3 different places to get poke'd in a four-block radius of my office. And I have to say, High Tide is the best of the burgeoning bunch to get your fresh-fish fix.At HTP, you can get two different sized bowls, or a wrap. They have more choices in your base ingredient than the other 2 places; in addition to rice or mixed greens, you can also get zucchini noodles or quinoa. The fish is your typical sushi-grade tuna or salmon, which you can also get marinated. Other options include shrimp, crab, chicken, or tofu.They also seem to have a larger variety of add-ins--we're talking fresh tangerine, cilantro, basil, mango, spinach, kale, and lots more. Some additions are extra, like avocado or shiitake mushrooms. I loved the mushrooms--such a wonderful burst of umami!I agree with my pal Bonnie--they definitely don't skimp on the fish. I would have been plenty full with the smaller size bowl, but as usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach.They also sell power bowls, fresh juices and smoothies, craft beverages (get the ginger-mint lemonade!), and fun desserts like rice pudding pots, house-dipped rice cakes, and house-crafted frosty pops. I can't wait to try one of those watermelon-lime pops!The location is so bright and cheery; it doesn't feel like the lobby of an office building at all. There's a good amount of seating, and you can also call ahead for carry-out.I'm beyond thrilled to have High Tide Poke in my work neighborhood. Definitely gonna be my number one. /end Blondie music"

Delicious PHO

★★★★☆ 3.7 (40)

"This large restaurant is hidden inside a shopping plaza next to Seafood City. It may look dark from the outside due to vacant storefronts, but once you step in, you will spot the bright, clean, spacious pho restaurant on the left. The pho is truly delicious, with beefy flavor, great umami, and assertive notes of cinnamon. I recommend (P8) pho with sliced beef, melt in your mouth tendon, and soft homemade meatballs. The generous bowl of noodle soup is accompanied with all the herbs and vegetables expected (bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, sliced jalapeños). While the soup is perfect as is, there are plenty of condiments on the table for you to create your own version of perfection.If your appetite is large, go ahead and order the egg rolls. These thin, crispy egg rolls are full of pork and carrots. Very nice flavor. Service here can be a little slow and easy paced. Luckily the restaurant is not crowded nor busy, so you will be served in an acceptable time. If you are in a hurry, use polite signals and body language."

Cafe Fenix

★★★★★ 4.8 (18)

"This is a community-minded, conversation-friendly place with delicious coffee, generous and fresh homemade food, and a kind staff. The local art makes it especially wonderful."

Sundrip

★★★★★ 4.8 (115) • $$

"This place is awesome!! I was recently in the area and I stopped through here 3 or so times for a smoothie. Unfortunately, I never got to try their food but if it's anything like the smoothies it is both flavorful and healthy. My go to smoothie quickly became 'That Powerhouse'; it was very tasty and nutritional. In addition to the smoothies, I did have one of their cold-pressed juice combos and it was a very tasty blend of greens.The staff that I encountered on my visits were amazing!!! From the moment I entered I could feel the positive energy and it started with the staff and flowed into the smoothies, food, cold pressed juices, etc. all the to the customers. Everyone that entered was greeted the same way. The space is compact but well utilized. There are a few tables inside for seating and similar outside. As for parking, there is street parking available throughout the area. If you are in the area and looking for healthy, I highly recommend Uncooked. I look forward to future visits when I am back in the area."

Pi-Hi Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (329) • $

"Totally unassuming. Totally delicious.Order a shawarma pizza, and thank me later. Also make sure to get the spicy hummus. It's worth the extra 50 cents. The pita was really toasty hot and soft and the hummus was really something. This place is in a strip mall but don't let that put you off. They are putting out some really banging food. The staff all seemed really nice. And it's neat that you get to see right into the pizza oven. I don't have much more to say about this place other than I would order from here weekly if I could."

JuiceRx

★★★★★ 4.5 (249) • $$

"Stopped into this location of JuiceRx for a post-workout pick-me-up on a weekday afternoon. After taking my time looking at the selections in the cooler, I opted for the Liquid Lunchbox. The ingredients listed cucumber, pear, romaine, ginger, and cinnamon, but I could also detect turmeric - a bonus for its anti-inflammatory properties. The juice was not overly sweet, and I appreciated that it was balanced, not tasting like a wheatgrass shot or a lawn. I can't wait to return to try some of the bowls and coffee drinks on offer!"

Cultura Ccafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (18)

"About a 2-2.5: Cultura Ccafe is a cafe located in the Avondale 'hood, offering coffee, espresso, tea, tea lattes, frappes, smoothies, breakfast burritos, crepes, waffles, acai bowls, paninis, and various baked items.We came here in the morning, and ordered:+the Horchata Latte - prepared with 2 espresso shots, horchata, and milk of choice; this could have had more of a stronger horchata taste+Biscoff Latte - prepared with Biscoff spread, 2 shots of espresso, and steamed milk; served with a Biscoff cookie; the cookie was a nice treat, but the latte was a bit weaka Strawberry Nutella crepe +a Black Bean Breakfast Burrito - filled with black beans, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and green chile+a Turkey Panini - turkey, mozzarella, pesto, tomatoes, spinach, and sriracha mayo in between a rustic-like bread+Beef and Potato empanadas - lots of crust and not much of a filling+Poblano Pepper and Cheese empanadas - lot of crust and not much of a fillingThe cafe itself is small and cozy with a handful of seating; staff were friendly.Plenty of street parking available in the area.+weak drinks+avoid the empanadas+friendly service+ample street parking available"

Deep Purpl

★★★★☆ 3.9 (89)

"I really wanted to love this spot! Let's start with things I did love: the staff. They were amazing, so patient while I asked what the recommend because I had never been there, attentiveness, friendliness, A+ all around. I love having a plant based option right in the mix of it all downtown. Their menu is intriguing and I had really high hopes. I ordered a deep purple smoothie and one of the dessert empanadas. This was not a particularly quick experience, which was fine for me but if I was in a rush, I probably wouldn't stop here. I actually loved the flavor of the smoothie, however the texture was really a struggle for me. It was chunky in multiple differently textured chunks, and it was off-putting. The empanada was dry and I really wish it had been sweeter. Also of course to consider in this area that parking will be mostly expensive garages, so great option if you'll already be downtown or live close. Not a quick in and out parking-wise. Unfortunately I will probably not try again here, but I do think they have potential and hope others have a better experience!"

The Red Line at Stix n Brix

★★★★★ 4.6 (94) • $

"Came in on a Saturday morning and loved it! Very rustic vibes, plenty of outlets for working, both tables and bar seating. It was a sunny Saturday morning so it was pretty busy, but still able to find a seat. You order at the counter then find a seat after, like most coffee shops. Staff here is all super friendly! You are able to see the entire coffee bar AND the kitchen which is great! And there is free street parking, as long as its not a Sox game day. Food wise - there is a variety of coffee, specialty drinks, breakfast (includes sandwiches, French toast, avocado toast, bagel, frittata; typically closes at 1130), smoothies, lunch sandwiches, and pizza!I got a light roast coffee, green line smoothie, and ham & egg breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun, all for $16. Which isn't bad especially for Chicago! The coffee had a great flavor but the sandwich was INCREDIBLE. Honestly one of the best I've ever had. The egg was runny, the sandwich was savory but also had a hint of sweet; topped with spinach and tomato. I will definitely be back!"

Razpachos

★★★★☆ 4.1 (34) • $

"Have never been disappointed with anything I've tried from here. Everything is great including the staff, they're always very kind. They get super busy sometimes but they try to get everything done as quick as possible without being sloppy with your order. Only suggestion for them would be to have more employees staffed per shift, I feel guilty ordering multiple things because I see how busy the staff is taking care of customers in the store while also preparing all the Ubereats and Grubhub orders."

The Cafeteria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (61)

"Love having a healthy new spot in my neighborhood and the prices are so reasonable for the quality. I tried a plethora of things from the Mediterranean bowl, to the açaí bowl, and the juices. All were very good and fresh. It's good to know being healthy can taste good too!"

Chickpea

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Top 3 on my list for best mediterranean bowls in Chicago. Everything was very fresh and very flavorful and you have plenty of topping options to choose from."
