Fun decor and lots of great menu items to choose from. Beau welcomed me and provided excellent service, and gave me a run down of the menu and options. I ordered the Blue Banana smoothie, which has blue spirulina, açaí, banana, grass-fed whey protein, cashew butter, coconut butter & almond milk. Wow!! It's the best smoothie I've ever had. Everything just blended so well together and the texture was perfect. Lot of cold pressed juice, cleanses, smoothie, oatmeal, and bowl options. I look forward to trying more!

One of the things I love about coming here is the customer service because it's really great, especially from one of the really nice girls who works in the mornings on weekdays (I need to get her name and edit this review because she's so nice) and their oatmeal bowls are some of the best I've had and I'm pretty picky about my oatmeal. Another positive is they can do a 100% nut free smoothie because they have separate blenders for people that can't have nuts and I think that's amazing. I've seen places that mix nut and nut free in the same blenders and that's so dangerous / frustrating. I'll definitely continue coming here

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

Place is nice and quiet…read more Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

I was a little skeptical of the cost and thought it was high until my order came. The servings are enormous and I ate it over 3 sittings. I got an acai bowl called the Harlequin Monkey which came with chocolate, peanut butter, bananas, strawberries and a whole bunch of other fun toppings. My order came super fast; I don't think I waited longer than 5 minutes. My only point off was for the coffee. I thought it was too watery and didn't have a lot of taste. If you're looking to grab a quick acai bowl near the Magnificent Mile, stop in!

I can tell this is going to fill me up when I reach halfway done. Exactly what I needed bc I have a 5 hr tattoo appointment coming up and I need protein!! The employee I want to give a shout out to is currently having a conversation with a customer, so I don't want to ask but he is soooooooo friendly and welcoming! I will FOR SURE be back. This place is brilliant. I'm moving in. See u soon!!!! 500 stars!!!!! Update: got his name - Chad. Great energy! AND THEY ARE PLAYING CRUEL SUMMER BY TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!

I love me a good acai bowl, and Deep Purpl certainly has one. The concept is a little different…read morefrom acai bowl establishments I've visited before. Rather than a menu with several pre-created bowls, Deep Purpl starts with a basic acai bowl with options to choose your size and toppings, customizing each order. Sizes range from 8-24 ounces, and free unlimited toppings include a variety of fruits (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) coconut, granola, chia and hemp seeds, goji berries, almond and peanut butters, honey, blue chia pudding, and condensed milk. Premium toppings (extra cost) include pistachio cream, protein powders, and chocolate hazelnut spread. They also have Argentinian empanadas, however there isn't a vegan option so unfortunately I wasn't able to try these. I opted for the 20 ounce option with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, goji berries, hemp seeds, almond butter, and blue chia pudding. It was delicious, however after tip I paid just over $19 which seems a bit steep, even for something so delicious.

I had earmarked Goddess and the Baker as a place to go before visiting the nearby Art Institute of…read moreChicago. It is a vibrant, modern cafe staple known for its standout bakery items like their Strawberry Cream Croissants (that looked incredibly decadent), artisanal coffee drinks, and reliable breakfast sandwiches. They do have some gluten-free baked options like the pistachio muffin my wife enjoyed. Also, they have non-bread breakfast and lunch options if you are gluten-sensitive or celiac. The place is popular, based on the queue that went out the door when we went there over the past weekend. Due to its proximity to major downtown attractions like the Art Institute and office buildings, long lines will happen during morning work rushes and weekend peak hours. But it's worth the wait. For my money, the chocolate croissant, stuffed with rich chocolate mousse, is class, and will ensure you won't go hungry. At all. In fact, I had half of it in a Ziploc for two days, and it still tasted amazing. The chocolate mousse alone will give you a rush that will send you blasting into outer space. Their morning sandwich was pretty good with scrambled eggs, cheddar, bacon, avocado, and tomatillo sauce on toasted semolina. Although, admittedly, I was full from also indulging on the croissant, so I had leftovers. Their coffee drinks are also divine. I went with their Vietnamese cold brew, made with condensed milk that I enjoyed immensely. If I worked in the area, I would be coming here quite a bit.

We were there during a busy weekend, so I'm not sure if that was busier than usual, but it definitely looks like this place can get crowded, and I see why! The coffee was amazing and they had so many options that it was honestly hard to choose. Since it was raining, I went with the warm cinnamon date latte and was very happy with my choice. It even came with a little date on the side! I also got the avocado toast, which was a good size and really good. And of course, I had to get the Chicago dog croissant to-go because why not while in Chicago?! The pastries all looked amazing too. Overall, a great spot that I'm glad we came back to!
