    Similar to a lot of the salad bowl type places popular right now. Love the healthy options, smoothies, bowls.

    Ahh...Greek Out! grain bowl
    Matthew K.

    Overall, I enjoyed my first visit to Crisp & Green. My biggest issue was that my Acai Ya Later bowl was pretty frozen, both the acai sorbet and the fruits on top. My wife ordered the Ahh...Greek Out grain bowl and that was much better. I like the concept of being able to make your own bowl or ordering a pre-configured option. I might make my own next time.

    Love the premise, but the execution is lacking. First time trying this place. Another build your own bowl restaurant. Great variety of toppings in order to build your own salad, or use one of their recipes. The breakdown of pricing and how much of each item you can pick was complicated. They really should find the average cost of the toppings and have a set price. We went through the line and ordered and then the woman at the end attempting to identify what was in my already tossed salad to be able to charge me appropriately was painful and unnecessarily difficult. In the end we paid about $32 for two salads. Quality was just okay. I think in the process of mixing our salads with metal tongs that the mixed greens got incredibly bruised and wilted. The roasted broccoli and the roasted chicken was cut in very large pieces and hard to eat. This wouldn't be my top choice to return to in the future.

    Crisp & Green is a great alternative to all the other places I'm used to. I was greeted the minute I stepped in the door and the staff was super helpful answering all the dietary questions. They offer super fresh made salads, Açaí bowls and wraps that are super nutritious and healthy! I customized my salad with 2 kinds of greens, goat cheese, apples pumpkin seeds, pickled onions and blackened chicken. The chicken had a really nice char and was packed with flavor. There are soo many unusual dressings that are all creative fusions and taste out of this world! Trust me there's one for every palette! Everything is made in house daily and tastes amazing! This was the best tasting salad I've had in a very long time!! They had a variety of really unique drinks made from fresh juices that go nicely with your meal. If you're tired of all the same ol' offerings elsewhere then this is one place to turn your tastebuds around!

    Crisp & Green is located in Mellody Farms. We came by for dinner one evening after shopping in the area and we were looking for something light but filling, and naturally Crisp & Green was the perfect option. We came in just before dinner time and there were some folks there but as we looked through the menu, a bunch of folks came in for both carry out and to dine in. So great to know that if I'm in a rush, I can order ahead and just come in and pick it up. I opted to build my own bowl, it was my first time ordered a non-curated bowl so the process was a bit different as the order of what I could pick from wasn't really in front of me but I ended up with a salad that I really enjoyed. From the bowl itself it didn't look like much but once you got into it, boy does it fill you up. Overall, we had a great time, the staff was super helpful and patient and I had an amazing time enjoying dinner with my bjs and in a bright area with great windows to look outside. Also their drink options were great too!

    Ahh...Greek Out
    Cristel M.

    Crisp & Green is a nice addition to Mellody Farm! The concept is like Chipotle's, but for salads. The menu features a number of specific salads, or you can custom order one. Either way, you stand in front of the salad bar and watch as an employee builds your bowl. I opted for their "Ahhh ... Greek Out!" salad on my first visit, and it was delicious. My friend and I dined in, and had no trouble snagging a table during a weekday lunch hour. The restaurant was clean and overall it was a good experience. I'll be back to either try other salads or get another Greek salad.

    5 stars for Crisp & Green. Crisp & Green is a quick service restaurant that serves healthier meal options like bowls, salads & smoothies. I tried them for the first time for dinner tonight - I had the "Thai and Stop Me" salad and substituted the peanut dressing for green goddess jalapeno dressing - that was absolutely amazing. The shrimp and dressing mixed with all the other veggies combined is just delicious, and the salad will for sure fill you up it's a pretty big portion sized salad. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a healthier option for lunch or dinner.

    The Tiniest meal ever for $15

    I don't even think they deserve 1star but I didn't have a choice. This place is disgusting. I ordered 3 meals. 1 wasn't even a meal. It was like a cup of rice with some veggies. The other 2 had old chicken added to them. So gross didn't even look like chicken. I will never order from them again

    New salad dressing container.  Wtf
    Ashley H.

    Very upset we ordered here before and love it but this time we got half of the dressing we got last time so not enough to cover the entire salad. For an $18 salad there should be two dressing if you're going to change to a smaller dressing container. The most recent photo is the smaller dressing container which is not enough for your salad. I got this to eat before a conference call - looks like I'll have to wait until 3 when I get a break to eat something else. Tried to call but no answer and no voicemail either. We've really enjoyed our meals from this place! We order here during the week when we're back to back on conference call without time to make lunch. It's refreshing, healthy and super filling. The salads are huge and have to potential to be a meal in a half! A few toppings that would be nice to add - peas, beats, more beans (chickpeas) and vegan cheese! I look forward to trying this place in person!

    Seoul Bowl
    Steve B.

    My first time at Crisp & Green and I have to say I was highly surprised. I been trying to find a healthier option in the area as one of my coworkers and I try to eat more clean. The different dishes really make it easier for someone to find something they like. I tried the Seoul Bowl and will say it was pretty good. I can't say the sauce was identically to Korean sauces but, it was pretty tasty. The service here was really nice since it was very quick and easy. The atmosphere or ambiance like I like to call it. Was very pleasant. The seating was great as it could seat many people. And you didn't have to worry about the noise level! I say give C&G a shot as it will please what ever you are in the mood for!

    I'd like to give this place a better review, but having visited a number of area coffee shops and…read morecafes, I can't in good conscious rate them as well. There is a free parking lot with plenty of parking and I found a spot right away on an early Sunday morning. It's very bright and feels more like a retail store atmosphere than a cafe. There were only three tables and a counter running along the back wall. It was easy for two of us to just sit at a table for a while, but as more people came in, we felt guilty taking a table as we just sipped coffee and chatted. They definitely have some kinks to work out and they've only been open for a few months, and they need to train their staff better as they clearly don't understand how to serve with any type speed. They don't do traditional here. You can't just get coffee and a Danish or other typical bakery item. You can't even get toast with butter despite them offering many toast options with toppings. Here's a tip: offer toast with butter or a spread. You'll get a lot more sales with some items that are not super filling. I opted for a hot mocha coffee with an extra pump of chocolate and a crepe. Again, you can't just get plain crepes. They are homemade and should be offered plain, but I digress. I got the Hangover crepe. According to their website, this is the description of The Hangover Crepe: "Start your day right with our delicious breakfast items like bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese, served till 11 AM. Afterward, enjoy a refreshing acai bowl or pair your breakfast with a cappuccino or a chai tea latte. Don't forget to try our matcha latte for a unique twist at our coffee shop in Buffalo Grove!" Look, I just do marketing for a living, so don't sell me on what you have before and after 11am. Just tell me what you get with this specific crepe. And that's bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The scrambled eggs are some of the best fluffy and dry eggs you can get anywhere. They were perfect. The hash browns were in patty form and were perfect for this dish. They serve it as a handheld, but it definitely needs a knife and fork, which you collect at the counter. You have to ask for salt and pepper or a sauce if you want. The savoryness of the items mixed with the sweetness of the crepe was a great combo. It was very tasty. But it took them quite a while to make the crepe. I was mostly finished with by hot mocha which I could have topped off for an additional fee. My compatriot wanted plain toast with butter. Mind you they have six (6) different toast offerings with all sorts of toppings. You can get your toast item made with sourdough, multigrain, white, or gluten-free. However, you can't get plain toast. And just as a side Q&A: when you order toast anywhere else, how many pieces do you typically receive? If you answered two (2) pieces/slices, you'd be correct. Irene's gave him one slice. They first toasted it and burned it badly. They make toast items. How do you screw up toast if you routinely make toast? Then they finally brought out the one slice and asked if he wanted butter. He did, so they took the toast to the kitchen and put two dabs of butter on his toast. But then they didn't give him a knife to spread it, so he used the crust of the bread to spread it on the slice. Like I stated, kinks need to be worked out. While we were there, the owner's family came in and took up two of the tables. Now all three tables were taken. And older couple came in and had to side at the counter height stools along the wall. The food was tasty, the drinks were good. Both are pricey for what they are. And they are seriously lacking seating. It would be nice to see them last in Buffalo Grove, but they need to fix the seating issue (maybe smaller rectangular tables instead of round ones?), and get things out of the kitchen faster, and drinks made more quickly to have more staying power. Oh, and have your family not come all together and take up all your tables.

    This is a clean, healthy option for breakfast and coffee! For food options, they have crepes,…read moresandwiches, smoothies, and acai bowls. There are a couple tables if you want to linger, but it's a small space overall. The servers are friendly and accommodating. I had the vegetable crepe and dragon fruit acai bowl, and both were delicious. The crepe itself is really light. The prices are on the higher end for the portion sizes.

The first time I ordered, I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch, no tomatoes and added roasted red peppers. I got a banana as a side and the Beach Bum smoothie + energizer + Fat Burner. And it was delivered quite quickly I might add. Though, what I might add is that the food is incredibly fresh. A lot of places make smoothies. And while those other places do a somewhat decent job (I point to you bread/sandwich places); they're not the same. Tropical Smoothie makes smoothies. And they make them freakishly well...and tasty...and nutritious. It's become my go to place.
