"Fantastic Cafe"   My Rating
3 jayanthp	Posted on: Wednesday, July 01, 2009
	Review: A fantastic vegan cafe in downtown. Was my first day in downtown Chicago and came across this cafe as I was strolling down. To my surprise, it exceeded my expectation. They have a cafe upstairs that serves hot food like veggie burger, burritos and soups. They also have great fresh juices at really down to earth prices. There is also a selection of cold salads downstairs by the cash till which are great! I am glad I found this place on the first day of my week's stay in Chicago. Will definitely go back there!   Pros: Cheap * Quick * Centrally located Cons: * *

"Good workday choice"   My Rating
1 suds	Posted on: Saturday, March 21, 2009
	Review: I have been eating lunch here for about 15 years. It is better under the new management that took over a few years ago. The cooks have been here for years. It is a handy, affordable, busy place for lunch on workdays. The Marrakesh Stew is very popular. The salads and juices are very fresh and good. The juices are better-tasting and more reasonably-priced than elsewhere. The soups are hearty. My only criticism is that in some of the dishes (the bean burrito filling and one of their otherwise very good stews), they feel compelled to put in these little chunks of veggie dogs that aren't that good and don't work. There is also a refrigerated takeout case and frozen items that can be brought back to the office. Busy at lunchtime with a diverse crowd of loyal, health-conscious customers.   Pros: good value * friendly staff * Cons: * *

"Great Lunch Option In The Loop!"   My Rating

	Review: This is a great lunch option if you work in the loop. I'm unaware of their hours, so I'm unsure if they're open during the evening or on weekends. I really like their Veggie chili; although I think they use different ingredients each day...but it's always good. They have Vegan packaged cookies that are out of this world there and also offer several Vegan snacks, entrees, drinks, etc. Check it out if you work in the loop! Also, when you walk in, just go to the back of the store, as the restaurant is upstairs. ;)   Pros: * * Cons: Forget trying to park! ;) * *

	Review: I had no idea there was a lil vegan cafe upstairs to this health store...And the daily special on Tuesday, this stew, is sooo good and one order was enough for two. You should definitely give it a try. Get there a lil before 12pm to beat the lunch crowd.   Pros: Friendly staff * Excellent Food * Large portions Cons: * *

"DELISH! (and cheap!)"   My Rating

	Review: i'm a flight attendant and am always looking for new places to try. kramers is two blocks from where we stay in chicago so i decided to see what it was like. yeah!!! its a good sized store with a TON of vegan choices. they have bars bars bars galore, which i love since i can only find limited brands where i live. they have a juice bar upstairs (i didnt get a chance to try it) and a lot of fresh vegan and raw food chices in there refridgerated section. the first night i went i got their seitan curry salad (made on site) which was amazing!!! it has walnuts, carrots, seitan, curry, raisins, peppers, and more. it was so flavorful and crunchy- i could live on it. i also tried a small round packaged date cake which was yummy. the next day i was going to be flying all day so i went back in the morning and again got the curry salad, but also got a cactus salad a prepackaged blondie and vegan jalapeno cheese spread. i was nervous about the salad because my mother in-law grows her own cactus and makes the salad, but this was (dare i say) even better! it was so fresh and spicy. yummy. cactus, tomatoes and jalapenos. i havent tried the vegan cheese yet but its really high in fiber and low in fat which im excited about. the two salads were $3.99 each (one is pretty filling) and the cheese was $4.99. i wanted the vegan mole but they were out. they also had vegan taco salad, carrot salad, quiche, sunflower pate, chick'n sandwiches, etc. great place! i cant wait for a nother layover n chicago so i can go.   Pros: fresh * cheap * lots of choices Cons: not open very late * *
