Excellent spot! We are visiting from across the country and were surprised to find this little place nearby. Ended up getting the "OG Açai" bowl. Delicious! Fresh fruit, bee pollen, and great açai. Even though it was a little chilly out, this still made me feel like I was ordering from a beach side hut in California. Keep up the good work! Love that this option is available!

Incredible, gorgeous, incredibly safe and luscious place! They have a variety of shockingly delicious and healthy bowls. This one was called "Activated" and yes, it contains charcoal! And it was so deeply satisfying, topped with homemade granola and a variety of super fruits and bananas. I brought my college and high school kiddo, and they were equally blown away. A must try!

I'm in Chicago from California and desperately needed a nutrition boost. Found this little gem! Warmest welcome ever. And the most beautiful fruit bowl I've ever been served. I left NOURISHED and with a happy palette! 😊 Chicago, you're lucky to have this place!

I tried Bright Bowls for the first time yesterday. A kids birthday party was rescheduled and the owner generously offered a space for the kids. After the party we ordered several things from the menu and it was all delicious. The presentation was beautiful and my picky kids loved it too. The restaurant and owner are wonderful! We will definitely be going back.

The owners and workers here are phenomenal. During a time of need they went above and beyond and really stood out and helped my family and many others. We could not thank them enough. But with that We have also tried their bowls and they are the best! It is definitely our new favorite and go-to place! -Natalia and family :)

Walked in with my family to and empty store on a Saturday afternoon. I use to follow them on instagram and looked like a healthy and fun spot…. Was I wrongWe were waiting patiently over 20 minutes. Lady walked in 20 minutes after us. We were standing by the register, obviously first in line. Finally the hostess came out and looked past us and asked the Caucasian lady what she wanted. I politely said we were here first and waiting for a while and the kids were hungry. She said ok (note my little children are with me) and went back to taking the other ladies order. So rude and offensive. When I asked why she didn’t have an answer and to me it seemed totally racist. We decided to go else where.We went back later and tried to talk to the owner but she denied any wrong doing and instead of teaching the young hostess on manners and respect, attempted to explain away. Will not be going back.Edited as a reply to the owner:Anyone who knows me please feel free to reply and weigh in. I am not aggressive or emotional (maybe again perception due to underlying bias and racism). I went back because I wanted my husband to voice what happened. Just made me realize how fake social media is. All lies to protect face. Good luck to you.

This place is a hidden treasure. Had my first bowl ever. I was not sure it would be enough food to fill me up for lunch. It was plenty filling. I was delighted with the freshness and the deliciousness of my bowl. So nutritious too. It was like eating a work of art. I felt it was a little pricey until I ate one. It was worth every penny. Can't wait to eat there again!

This place changed my life. Today was the first day I came and it is stunning! The staff are so welcoming and so friendly! I have a egg and tree nut allergy and they went out of their way to use a clean blender and etc. Their flavors are awesome, their staff is so friendly. I am able to eat everything their besides granola which is fine! I am so happy I came because I love it! Look forward to going again!

I’m quite literally the pickiest eater on earth and I’d highly recommend this place. The two women working the store were very nice and patient with me and helped me pick a bowl- it was absolutely delicious very glad I took their recommendation! Will def be back for more! On top of it being super good it’s also really healthy- it’s a win win!

When coming into Highland Park, you must swing by Bright Bowls for a healthy smoothie or bowl! I love the matcha granola bars as well. It’s very clean and the staff is always friendly. I look forward to going back again and again.

Delicious and beautiful bowls!! Very unique combinations. We tried the pitaya bowl, beeting heart, and OG acai and all were amazing. 10/10 on taste/healthy options. However I was surprised to see how small the bowls were considering how expensive they were.

I got the love-a-bowl and it was amazing. It’s so cute in there and the bright butter is a must-try. If you were looking for a sign to come here, this is it.

Always friendly, helpful, and delicious. And, these last two weeks, while our city struggled through trauma, you've really stepped up to care for and nourish our community.

Customer service was great! Everything was fresh and clean. Wish the oatmeal would be a little more flavorful as I had a little bit of a hard time eating it
