What makes it special: A fully plant-based juice bar where acai bowls, toasts, and cold-pressed juices are treated with restaurant-level care.
Who should go: Health-focused diners wanting organic juices and light meals.
When to visit: Mornings and early afternoons for the freshest flow.
What to order: Harlequin Monkey Bowl, Fruit Alchemist Bowl, Supreme Green.
Insider tip: Use it as a quick but substantial pre- or post-Mag Mile stop—one bowl plus a juice comfortably passes as a full meal.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated lot — expect paid garages and limited metered street parking in Streeterville; walking or rideshare from the Mag Mile is usually easiest.
Dress code: Casual and athleisure-friendly; gym wear and streetwear are common.
Noise level: Low to moderate daytime buzz — easy to hold a conversation or work solo.
Weekend wait: Typically no wait, but note that hours lean daytime and it may close before traditional dinner service — check same-day hours.
Weekday lunch: Short counter queue during the noon rush; most visits see a 5–10 minute wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — the full menu is plant-based and vegetarian by default.
Vegan options: Yes — 100% vegan across juices, bowls, and toasts.
Gluten-free options: Many items can be prepared gluten-free (especially smoothies and bowls), but there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or separate prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual daytime meet-up than a formal date — it works well for a quick, low-key coffee-or-smoothie style first meet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — counter-service with limited seating; tables are first-come and most guests take items to-go, so turnover is fairly quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids and teens who like smoothies and bowls; space is compact and doesn’t have dedicated kids’ amenities or high chairs.
Best For
Better for: Health-focused grab-and-go meals, organic ingredients, and acai bowls executed with tighter consistency than typical juice bars.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full-service sit-down meal, evening dining hours, or a large group hangout space.
