Smoothie joint

My friend and I were in the mood for smoothies after taking a kickboxing class not too far away (highly recommend Mind Body Defense). I loved the Green Line Smoothie and my friend really liked her Red Line Smoothie, which she said tasted more like a strawberry lemonade.

We got the pink line and it was very bitter. Not sure what we expected but I thought maybe there would be a tiny bit of sweetness.

So today I tried supporting a small business and was excited to see a local smoothie bar in the area. As I walked in the customer service off back was TERRIBLE. I walked in with a smile and greeted the worker no response, I assumed he didn't hear me as he showed no emotion, smile or response. When I received my smoothie the lid was not on and he watched me struggle to put it on as it was messy from him pouring into the cup. I said thank you and once again he did NOT respond. Overall customer service could be better and a little over priced but smoothie was delicious.

Cute little spot with fresh fruits cute to order! The lady who was making everything was supper friendly and the drinks were amazing. Definitely will be back!

Great Location Delicious Smoothies & Bowls Above & Beyond Customer Service Reasonable Prices BLACK OWNED BUSINESS!!! Green Line & Brown Line sooooo good!!!

The best smoothie in the city I'm refreshes and they also give first responder discount

Best place for a smoothie in chicago super friendly staff & they even let me sample some other great smoothies.

Getting smoothies here is a relatively quick experience, especially when the demand is so high on weekend mornings and the staff is limited. The drinks are creatively named, but I'd say there isn't much creativity in what's included within the smoothies -- protein costs extra when it's usually part of the smoothie at other shops. Points off for the air conditioning unit that routinely drips fluids onto patrons when they open the door, as well as for how coarse my green line express smoothie was. Despite that, they have quality customer service, offer fruit bouquets, and I'd much rather support this local business than another popup Herbalife spot that charges far less.

Just awesome! Staff was friendly and quick. Smoothie hit the spot on a hot summer day. I'll be back!

Loved it here! Very welcoming atmosphere, and the smoothies are delicious! I got the blue line and my boyfriend got the yellow line. Super clever names for their smoothies too!

Staff seem disinterested but smoothie bowl was good Handed my bowl to me messy with no napkins

This place had great smoothies with lots of options available. It's at a great location, the service was fast. It's definitely a must try!

The restaurant is dirty inside--you can visibly see dirty dishes and rags piling up behind the counter. They also don't provide fresh ingredients on top of the smoothie bowls. They use frozen fruit.

Contrary to other reviews on here, it appears I had a very subpar experience. The staff seemed disinterested, if not borderline disappointed, that I showed up at the unholy time of....4PM on a Friday. $9 for a large that is smaller than Starbucks grande by the eye test.

After making my kids some of the best smoothies they said they had ever tasted, the owner of this fine establishment actually tracked us down at Wrigley Field before we went into the stadium to give me back my credit card which I had carelessly left at her store. Faith in humanity restored! Thank you so much and will return next time we are in Chicago for more delicious smoothies!

The smoothie did the trick!!! It was delicious, nutritious, and quickly made. The owner was personable and friendly. She even let me try her chocolate covered strawberries. And the best part of it all - it's Black owned!!!!!

What a great addition to the neighborhood! Tucked just off the side street from Clark St this place offers a good selection of smoothies and juices that offer something for everyone. I've loved both the blue line and purple line smoothies and can't wait to try some more. A Large is only $1 more than a Medium so you might as well upgrade. Make sure you sign up for rewards so you don't miss a free smoothie. The owner is extremely nice as well.

My wife and I just happened to be in the area. There was someone handing out smoothie samples. Once I realized what it was, I was more than happy to give it a try. The sample was amazing! We decided place an order. We were taken care of by the owner herself. She is a very kind and charming person who gave us a little history of her journey. We ordered the Blue Line Smoothie (smoothies are named after the "El" train system). It was wonderful! We will definitely make our way back soon!

I came from California and visited the Smoothie Joint. The staff was very friendly and Knowledgeable. I had the green line smoothie it was very flavorful and filling. They have a large variety of smoothies, juices and smoothie bowls on the menu. I would definitely visit again when I come back to Chicago

Blue line drink is actually blue and tasted smoothie. They need a more creative name for this place tho.

Had the Green Line Smoothie, so delicious and fresh! Great customer service and I felt a genuine friendliness. It's tucked off to the side of the street, hope more people can discovery and enjoy this gem!

The owner is very sweet and so helpful! Smoothies were delicious and she's flexible with customizations.

Super cute place!! I ordered the blue line smoothie and it was a perfect boost to make it through the afternoon.

Tried their juice today! So refreshing!! Freshly squeezed in front of our eyes and all fresh, real ingredients! Definitely recommend!!

Very grateful I happened upon this place while walking in 90+ heat. Incredibly kind staff , delicious smoothies!!!

Smoothie Joint is such a refreshing and new spot. I stopped by for the first time this morning on the way to work and had the Red Line smoothie and it was delicious! Great small local business with friendly staff. I would highly recommend to all!

Yummy smoothies! Lots of flavor and fun themed names for their smoothies! I got the green line smoothie which was reaaally good! Highly recommend!

Really delicious and fresh and the owner is so wonderful and nice!! Each drink is named after a line on the train. Located at a good spot

Staff was so nice the smoothie I had (green line express) was so delicious and I don't normally go for green smoothies. Would love to try more of their smoothies!

Popped in here while my foils were processing (shout out fix hair studio!) to get a little something to keep me from getting hangry. I got the blue line smoothie and it's delicious (and the color blue!) looking forward to coming back for a mid-process smoothie in about eight weeks.

Awesome new business in the neighborhood. I had the purple line smoothie with a shot of protein and it was probably one of the best smoothies I've had. Fresh and yummy. I'll be back!!!

I've been in the neighborhood for 6 years, and the couple of locations I could walk to for a fruit smoothie craving have disappeared. I've been bummed about it, but Smoothie Joint opened up 6 days ago and solved my smoothie crisis! Got a Purple Line smoothie because I love me some berries. No dairy: just fresh fruit, ice, coconut water. It was tasty and satisfying! Will definitely be back to try other menu items!

I love the Smoothie Joint! As a California native, I'm very particular when it comes to bowls and smoothies-- and these are awesome! I've only tried the Yellow Line and the Green Line Express so far, but I'm sure the others are also great. The staff is funny and friendly, too! You will not be disappointed.
