Deep Purpl

I am "obsessed" with Deep Purpl. I get an 8oz. "bowl" (comes in a cup) with almond butter, granola, blueberries, bananas, and a little honey -- that's just me. You can get whatever toppings you like. Some locations have added a hazelnut topping. If you are health conscious, consider the combination of the acai and other fruits, which contain natural sugars, verses the granola and other toppings --refined sugars. #notsohealthyI go to the locations in Hyde Park, on Randolph, and in the Union Pacific Railroad Station (Accenture Tower) often and the one on Milwaukee occasionally. I have had about the same quality of service at every location except the Accenture Tower-- when ordering online they are not quick to respond and twice my order was not ready when I arrived. (They were not busy-- they just aren't getting the online orders quickly). The larger stores are cute and clean. I hope they add locations further south in the city.

I have found my new Chicago obsession which is Deep Purpl and their consistently standout acai bowls with unlimited toppings (yes, you read that correctly!)This location is inside of a shopping center and is a healthy option for those looking for a light meal or a snack during their day. They specialize in acai bowls and also offer smoothies using similar ingredients.I always get their medium size bowl ($11) and incorporate all the toppings I can imagine, including almond butter, cacao nibs, coconut shreds, and all the classic fruits that go into making this a delicious treat. Checking in on Yelp gets you a small discount but the worker found it odd and had me attempt to register for their mailing list before my discount could be applied. It was strange, but I'm still happy to have it be applied.

What a fun twist on Acai bowls! It's one of the healthier options inside the train station food court AND it's open late!When you order, you pick from 4 different sizes and then choose your toppings which are unlimited. I tried to limit myself to four toppings since the more toppings you get, the less smoothie fits in the cup. I ended up with strawberries, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, and almond butter which turned out perfect. They layer the toppings in the cup which is cute but a little hard to eat. I ended up having to eat all the strawberries at once instead of mixing it all together.

Since I don't go downtown that often, I wanted to try out something new -- either a coffee place, a smoothie, or an acai bowl. I decided on a smoothie. I found Deep Purpl inside the Accenture building food court (located on the ground level).I went with the Deep Blue smoothie based on the picture. I mean, how often do you get to eat or drink something blue? It came to $11 w/ tax & tip (plus a "small business service fee"), which is rather expensive for a smoothie. However, it was very tasty. Good banana and honey flavor, and a really cool look. Is the blue color natural? I don't know, but I doubt it. I also don't know how healthy/unhealthy it is since I couldn't find nutrition facts anywhere.

The deep blue smoothie here is really good as well as the deep purple! The ingredients here are cool!

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!

I was a big fan of Deep Purpl, but my recent order experience left me disappointed. I chose DoorDash delivery for a 20 oz Acai Bowl, but what I received was far from what I expected. The Acai Bowl had freezer burn, most of the toppings were missing, and the contents were frozen together. It seemed like the bowl had been stored in a freezer for a long time, affecting its taste and texture.I'm concerned about Deep Purpl compromising the quality of their offerings. As a loyal customer, this experience was disheartening. I suspect that the bowl was made way before I placed my order, and it feels like they tried to pass off an inferior backstocked bowl as my order.I feel compelled to give a one-star rating and hope that Deep Purpl takes this feedback constructively. I want them to maintain their standards of excellence and restore my faith in their commitment to quality.

Açaí bowls are the main thing here. Deep Purpl has a couple locations. It has this one in the West Loop. Get small or large bowls. There's also juices and salads. Getting açaí bowls is a healthy alternative to ice cream. It's pretty expensive at a lot of places but for here it's not. They have a good price on a small. It's $6.99 for a bowl. This is the small bowl that's at this price. Believe it. This thing is really tiny. A good thing is it comes with unlimited toppings so get as many as you feel. They have almond butter, fruit slices, and granola. Add ins are free. It means load it up as much as you can fit in it. There's no charge for weight.

New spot in the loop! Went for a quick lunch. Limited seating and no Wi-Fi for remote workers. Ordered custom açaí cup. You get unlimited toppings all for the same price. Açaí was a bit sweet/artificial tasting to me. Cute store but most likely wouldn't return!

This location is so bad but also might be because it's in the train station. Açaí wasn't frozen and tastes like nothing. Below average.
