I had a margarita on happy hour menu and it was tasty. For my entree, I got the chicken enchiladas. They were presented very nicely and very flavorful. Since they are known for the caramel pie, I got a slice of that as well. Tasted like caramel candy with the texture similar to pumpkin pie. Service was friendly. I hear their brunch is also amazing as well.

Not the experience I was expecting. I had high hopes and unfortunately everything fell short. The…read morehost was not accommodating at all. I requested our group to be placed in a corner since we were dining in with 2 kids and an infant who would be sitting in a stroller. She had said they were fully booked and a different party needed the table I was eyeing since they would be coming in with 3 strollers. I was there from 9am-11am on a Friday and it was not packed nor did a family use the table I wanted while I was there. No one came in with 3 strollers either. Aside from that, I was trying to be helpful so the stroller wouldn't get in the way of customers and wait staff. The host basically made it harder for them, not me. I started with the hazelnut oat mocha and this was delicious. This was the highlight of my time there. For food I tried the Shakshouka and it was not good. The pouched eggs were not cooked. From my pictures - it looks like the eggs were cracked in the dish and the chef called it a day. I didn't chance eating it, I ate the pita it came with and left very hungry. I'm giving Beatrix a generous 2 due to the space being beautiful and my latte being great. Unfortunately this is not a spot I'll be returning to.

I was out for a late morning stroll in down town and came across this place.

Some younger friendly college students were working there and made sure I got everything I needed to dine in at the cute counter by the front. Also I got my stuff only 7 minutes after I ordered! Nice and fast. The only reason I rated 4 stars and not 5 was the seats were small and uncomfortable, and the outdoor area wasn't much better. I'd still give this place a try but do take out

They are always happy to adjust ingredients based on allergies (whether dropping or swapping), and the service just makes you feel valued as a customer. That alone is worth stopping in for.

But I am very upset that they got rid of the watermelon flavor. I REALLY would like that one back. Ambiance is okay. The cashiers don't listen and never spell my name correctly, despite me spelling it out and it being 4 letters. Pretty annoying.

Visited Protein Bar & Kitchen for weekend lunch. I like that they are nestled slightly away from…read morethe mall to avoid crowds. The inside was quite large and mostly had people stopping in for pick up orders and smoothies. Their menu offers the same ingredients in burrito or bowl form as well as salad or wrap form. The menu clearly outlines the item's protein, fiber and caloric counts to also consider. While most items have a recommended protein, you can switch it out for another choice. My husband and I each got a Mexicali Burrito; his with chicken and mind with tofu. It was a good sized portion and ingredients were fresh & well mixed inside. I did get a huge kale steam in my burrito but fished it out. While I thought the flavors were good, it didn't leave me craving to come back. I did leave feeling full but not weighed down like most fast casual spots.

I walked into Bonita Bowls immediately after a workout looking less like a healthy, functioning…read moreadult and more like someone who had just lost a fight with a treadmill. I was dehydrated, exhausted, and in desperate need of revival. I ordered a protein shake, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that thing brought me back to life. A few sips in and suddenly I could feel my soul returning to my body. It was cold, creamy, packed with protein, and exactly what I needed after sweating out what felt like 40% of my body weight. The atmosphere was just as refreshing as the shake. Everything was super clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and everyone I interacted with was genuinely nice. Bonita Bowls might officially be a smoothie and bowl place, but at that moment it was basically an emergency medical facility. I walked in barely functioning and walked out feeling like I might actually survive my life choices. My muscles are still mad at me, but at least now I have a delicious protein shake and a fighting chance.

TL,DR * slow service…read more* overpriced * one worker was running the place by themselves * good taste at least Long version: I went into this place with high hopes based on their reviews. My food took over 30 minutes to be made. The food was good but it was $12 for a tiny bowl that fell apart when I opened it, way over priced for the amount received. I had to use the lid as a second bowl. Management should just order larger bowls. $1 upcharge for substitution of almonds instead of coconut. The poor worker was there all by herself with a line to the door. If they're understaffed the manager/owner should be helping but there was no manager on duty, which is why I'm writing this. They know they are understaffed. It's not fair to the worker to deal with poor management.

Was around the area and was craving for a smoothie. I was going to order on the app to pick up but…read moreI was trying to decide between 2 different smoothies for my friend, so I just went inside. It wasn't too busy when I walked in, but was definitely greeted! The drive thru seemed consistent for a Sunday evening. The staff were friendly and also gave a good recommendation! My go to order is always the angel food slim. Love it! I was looking at green smoothies for my friend because it was what she wanted but couldn't decide between 2 different ones. I was recommended to get the collagen power pineapple kale (one I was looking and leaning towards) and my friend loved it!!

Do not come here!!! I just had a horrible experience here. My sister and I stopped by to grab an…read moreAcai Bowl. I ordered a Goji Goji bowl, remove the blueberries, add extra goji berries, extra bananas and extra granola. When we arrived at the window, the young lady told us the amount and as I was grabbing my card she closed the window. It's cold outside, I understand, but unfortunately this adds to my negative experience. Then, the manager, an older lady, handed over my açaí bowl and closed the window. When I looked at the bowl, I only saw 4 slices of banana and a handful of the Gogi berries. I reached out to the window to inquire. When I stated, "Hi, I asked for extra Gogi berries" the manager states, "You have extra gogi berries ma'am, they are in the middle." I then said "I also asked for extra bananas." The manager then states, "those are extra bananas ma'am. You're looking right at them" I inquired again, "6 slices is extra?" The managers tone has now changed to one of annoyance and sarcasm when she says, "Would you like extra bananas ma'am?" I said "yes." When she arrives back to the window with my order, she proceeds to tell me that I substituted the blueberries for bananas. I let her know that I didn't ask for a substitution at all. The sarcasm, rashness and loose audacity leaves me appalled at the age of the woman and lack of grace she had in handling the situation. Instead of taking responsibility or using emotional intelligence, she felt the need to correct me with an attitude. This is not the reputation of the Smoothie King I know.

SO FRESH. SO CLEAN. SO.... disappointing…read more PROS: - Amazing menu. Packed with veggies: salads, bowls, wraps, smoothies, juices, burritos, yogurt, and breakfast options. - Great options: vegan, soy, gluten-free, peanut-free, etc. - A healthy food-court alternatives to greasy pizza and burgers. - Reasonably-priced for what it is. - Gorgeous-looking counter. CONS: - The girl taking my order looked s o . b o r e d . - The Superbiotic Green Wrap I ordered kind of sucked. It was swimming (ugh) in cucumber dill dressing and the collard greens were soggy/chewy -- not crunchy and easy to eat. I ended up dumping the contents of the wrap out in a bowl and spooning it out instead. It was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. - My Lifesupport juice gave me the healthy boost I needed, but the banana taste was much stronger than I expected. I desperately wanted to love this place, especially after my friend raved about it and took me here, but I wasn't really impressed. She ordered the Pangoa bowl (without chicken) and it was good. I probably would have a better experience if I ordered something other than my wrap. I'm willing to come back to try the Bliss Bowl, but otherwise, no need to go out of my way to eat here.

I love the idea of this restaurant and the store front is pretty nifty looking. Sadly the food was…read morepretty horrible. It was also annoying that they did not have a soda fountain. You have to buy them bottled. It was busy when I was there so I did not want to wait in another line at a different restaurant. The service was pretty slow. We were hoping for faster food which is why were eating in a food court. I ordered the Bangkok burrito with tofu. The spicy peanut sauce had a little spice and no flavor. The rice was cheap tasting. It reminded me of uncle ben's except worse. I kept eating it hoping it would get better and it did not so I ended up tossing most of it. Considering how gross the food was and how slow they were I wanted to give them one star but I do like how they are a healthier option in the food court so I bumped it up to two. I will not be returning though.

I thought it was cool that this was right below our parking garage the moment we got out. It's a really huge store honestly with a wider selection of snacks and food compared to its other locations. It's got narrower aisles which there's nothing wrong with it I just thought it was cool for this store. Clean restrooms and very helpful and social staff that really know their products. Great perks if you're a member and it's honestly one of the best stores in the downtown Elmhurst area.
