The Argentinian chicken empanada was okay but not made in store, and lacked any real savor. Baklava type pastry the size of my big toe was dry as a squirrel turd. Beverage cooler sparsely stocked. One t-shirt dangling from the merch rack. No side table for the wall sofa. This business needs to rethink its posture toward customer comfort. Anyone can sell coffee and pastries from a hole in the wall. I might stop for a take out coffee if my car breaks down outside, but other than that a poor business model tells me to grab a cup at my local greasy spoon.

We found this smoothie place in Glenview and decided to give it a try. My daughter and son wanted…read moresimple strawberry-banana smoothies. Instead, the employee suggested ordering a menu item that she said was similar. We took her recommendation, but after trying it, the kids didn't like the taste and would have preferred the simple smoothie they originally wanted. When my wife asked if it could be exchanged, we were told that because we ordered a menu item, it could not be changed. We ended up spending nearly $90 for five items, and unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed. Good customer service means helping customers when a recommendation doesn't work out, especially when it involves children. We felt the business was more concerned about making the sale than ensuring customer satisfaction. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Is it the best boba in the world? Nah. Is it the best boba if you so happen to be driving by and…read morehaving a last minute late night boba craving? Heck yeah! Everything was decent as far as the actual tapioca itself. 99.9% sure it's microwaved. Their boba balls are chewy and weren't undercooked, so that was key! The fruit they used tasted pretty fresh! This place has been here for a many moons so I knew it had to be at least okay. Glad I got to try it. However it was pretty pricey for one original size and large size were around 22.00. Chill vibes, friendly & prompt service and a good late night spot if you so happen to be in the area.

I ordered a toasted coconut truffle tea with boba. It was pretty bland, did not taste the truffle. The boba was chewy but tasted old. The staff was friendly and made my drink quickly. The drink was quite reasonably priced and I was surprised that the card reader did not prompt for a tip (this is quite unusual).

The environment is pleasant, with thoughtful detail and smooth current and retro tunes. The menu is varied with plenty of sweet and savory choices.

Blue Kale invites you to savor the experience and menu.

I ordered the salmon croissant sandwich and my friend had an egg one. We thought they were both delicious and filling. I'd love to try more options next time. I did notice they don't have a ton of meat options. Service was friendly and I like that you can pay on a portable machine while sitting. Plenty of free street parking.

Me and my aunt got the cool cucumber energy tea, while my sister opted for the mint Oreo shake. At $6 per drink, it was cheap! I'm so used to paying at least $9 for such things. The cucumber was refreshing! So so good. The Oreo wasn't my thing but my sister really enjoyed it. The place was cute! Very modern. Also lots of pictures of weight loss transformations. Very cool! The ladies at the counter were nice and had our drinks our pretty quick. Would love to come back! One thing I'll add is that it's street parking. We had no trouble with that.

I was warmly greeted by the family and informed of the menu offerings. They have a huge menu with over 80+ items consisting of smoothies, teas, and meal replacement/protein shakes each available in a variety of flavors ranging from fruity to sweet dessert flavors. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in fitness or just looking for a refreshing drink.

Rounding the corner into the garage was a little precarious given two-way traffic, but they do have a mirror in the corner for precautions. There were elevators up a floor to the main store. We went in around seven, so the hot bar and salad bar were a bit on the slim pickings side. However, I was still able to make a decent enough mediterranean salad and select a main. Some of the roasted potatos were slightly under done, but otherwise everything was great. We didn't interact with a ton of staff since they have self checkout at this location, but everyone seemed relatively low-key and friendly. It wasn't at all busy, but it could be that we were shopping late on a week night. Despite being in the city, this location still felt plenty spacious and well stocked with produce, refrigerated, and shelf stable items.

I was able to call and check if they still have the Mango Yuzu Chantilly cake in the smaller size I…read morewas looking for. They do and they asked if I would like to put it on hold since it's the last one. That was conscientious of their customer and I did ask and picked it up an hour later. The cake itself is ok. It's not as packed or dense as some cakes, I wished it was even more lighter though. The internal filling had the definite yuzu taste but not the frosting. Frosting also taste sugary and too sweet for my taste. I was expecting something more delicate as it is a chantilly cake. Cashiers are kind and friendly!

BAMBU on North Broadway completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside it looks casual and…read moreunassuming, but once you step inside, there's a lively, colorful energy that instantly lifts your mood. It's the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed dinner or just stopping in because you're craving something flavorful and different. The menu is what really makes this place stand out. There's a creative mix of Vietnamese-inspired dishes and modern fusion options, and everything tastes intentional. The ingredients are fresh, the herbs are vibrant, and the flavors are layered without feeling heavy. I appreciated how balanced everything was -- nothing overly greasy or overwhelming, just clean, bright flavors that keep you going back for another bite. Even the presentation shows care, which adds to the overall experience. The drink selection is just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something refreshing and fruity or a more classic option, they've clearly put thought into crafting beverages that complement the food. It's not just an afterthought -- it's part of the experience. Service was another highlight. The staff were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. They checked in often enough to make sure everything was perfect but never hovered or rushed us. That balance is rare and really appreciated. Overall, BAMBU delivers more than just a meal -- it delivers a full experience. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, solid drinks, and attentive service. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be bringing friends next time.

My friend loves the pandan waffles and always wants to come here for it when she visits.
