Chicago Raw

Today I tried Chicago Raw for the first time. I was met by the owner upon arriving. She greeted me with a friendly smile and made me feel warm and welcome. She offered me a sample of pizza and two smoothie samples. Everything I sampled was amazing. I was so grateful for the experience. I began looking through the food that was displayed. Everything looked so delicious. It was hard for me to make a decision. The owner suggested that I try the sampler, which consisted of hamburger, pizza, a meatball and a dessert. In addition to the sampler I decided to purchase a lasagna for later. Both dishes were amazing. I’ve recently begun eating raw dishes. I was totally blown away by how flavorful the food was. I will definitely be frequenting this restaurant!

What a radiant hole in the wall. I was walking to Whole Foods and decided to pop in. What excellent-quality food, recipes, and health focus!! Mina (who worked the shop’s checkout today) was kind, bubbly, and helpful. She also said Polly (the owner) is kind, knowledgeable, and “always has a smile even on her bad days”. Cannot wait to come back and bring friends.

I really love this place. They customer service is wonderful and helpful. The desserts are divine and I rave about the slice of heaven and lemon bar. Only suggestion: check the best buy dates before you purchase especially if you are buying food for the week. Since its raw the shelf life recommendation is important.

I love raw vegan restaurants for their creativity in creating dishes that requires little to no cooking, which is more challenging than one thinks.

The small shop is a womxn owned business and is a cozy, grab and go environment. There were a few seats by the window but I anticipate most people will swing by for something and be on their way.

For breakfast, I ordered their Acai Bowl ($15) with fresh fruit, protein powder, and granola. It was a decent sized portion and everything was blended nicely, although their granola felt a bit hard. But you really can't go wrong with acai and other freshness in the morning.

They sell a variety of takeout meals including wraps, sushi, lasagna, etc., and yes, all of it is raw so you're really benefiting from all the natural vitamins and minerals in whole foods. It's definitely on the steeper end but I appreciate that it's available to the masses.

We came here for two days in a row around brunch time while visiting Chicago. There aren't many healthy plant based options in the city. The food does not disappoint. We had the smoothies, the bowls and some desserts and all were delicious. The owner is extremely friendly and personable. A highly recommended stop for all plant based fans in Chicago.

I'm so happy this place exists! The food is so delicious, healthy, and creatively prepared. The owner is so kind and interesting to talk to as well. I never thought I'd like raw food so much. I've had a number of items here and have many more I want to try.

Wow!!!
Finally you found place healthy and tasty everything there is zero and vegan. It’s really good. I love the pizza it’s my favorite. I took so many and the brownies ,enjoy !!really recommended!!
