I ordered two large (quart size ) soups. ordered eclairs and pumpkin loaf and cheese cake. The sweets were really good only problem everything was super small but delicious. Even eclairs are super small next door at supermarket they have more reasonable priced pastry. Oh ...on the same location 2 doors down they also have a great bakery. The soup was okay not worth driving miles. I'd say the soup was VERY bland. Just okay. Amy's is off the my list not returning. Expensive considering the portion size.

I customized a protein bowl and my fiancé got the try two combo with a soup and sandwich, we also got two large citrus berry drinks. The total was almost $50.00 for everything. We opened the bag and everything looked well packed till we noticed they packed my protein bowl in a plastic container that had separate compartments along with the ciabatta bread and chocolate covered strawberry. I would have enjoyed my protein bowl more if they actually packed it in a to go bowl. I'm not sure if this restaurant has to go bowls but please get some because it would definitely improve the quality of the food for customers. The citrus berry punch didn't have any citrus flavor at all and I tasted more honey if anything, I was looking for a bold citrus flavor but didn't get that. It tasted like honey water. I'm not sure how to feel it's a little pricey and my protein bowl looked sloppy. Please invest in some good quality "to go" bowls for carry out customers.

Disgusting staff and customer service…read more I arrived at the Vernon Hills location at 9:35 PM with my wife after not having eaten all day. I was fully aware the restaurant closed at 10:00 PM, but I still had 25 minutes before closing. When I walked in, I was immediately met with a nasty look and no greeting. Instead, I was asked what I needed. I was then told they were "pretty much closed" because everything had already been cleaned up and put away. I told them I wanted the Pick Two with a salad and a sandwich. They had nothing but an attitude and clearly had no motivation to make the food. One of them grabbed a to-go container and just assumed I wanted it to go without even asking me. At that point, I simply said, "Just forget it. I'll go somewhere else." It's absolutely disgusting how a business or its employees could treat a customer like this. If you're open until 10:00 PM, customers should be able to order until 10:00 PM without being made to feel like they're a burden. They're lucky my wife was with me to keep me from escalating the situation further because it would have gotten much worse. I own my own business, and I would never treat my customers the way I was treated tonight.

I ended up doing the Try 2 Combo - a full sandwich and cup of soup. The sandwich was flavorful, but the filling felt lacking. I ended up taking off the top slice of bread to even out the ratio of bread to meat and I'm glad I did, because the lettuce on the sandwich was wilted. The chickpea and vegetable soup was packed with vegetables and had a flavorful broth. The bread and chocolate covered strawberry included were a nice touch and made it feel like you were getting a lot for your money. The interior of the restaurant is huge - lots of seating available. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

They haven't been open very long, but so far I've enjoyed the New School Chicken Salad (i prefer with chicken thigh), Spicy Spring Roll Salad, Rabbit Food (probably the healthiest of all the options) and the green chicken whole grains bowl (my personal favorite). The whole family (kids included) seem to be fans and I find myself picking it up for lunch or dinner several times a week.
