Sundrip

Chicago’s Best Juices and Smoothie Bars

"Grab raw, vegan fare to-go at Sundrip (previously called Uncooked) in Fulton Market, which also eschews refined sugar and agave in favor of sweetening with monk fruit. The drink selection features smoothies like That Fuel, a protein-packed blend of avocado, cauliflower, kale, and almond milk, plus cold-pressed juices, a CBD-spiked hibiscus cooler, and cold brew infused with lion’s mane mushrooms, which are said to improve brain function. The food side features sushi, salads, and doughnuts. There’s a second outpost in Hyde Park." - Naomi Waxman, Samantha Nelson

Uncooked Review - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Sundrip in the West Loop is a 100% raw restaurant. Everything at this carryout spot is vegan, and the food is worth seeking out even if you like eating your food, you know, cooked. The menu has a bunch of kelp noodle bowls, sushi made with dehydrated tomatoes, and lots and lots of juices. This is a great option if you’re in the market for some healthy food with ingredients you can count on one hand." - Adrian Kane

Tandoori Fried Chicken & 3 More Things To Order This Week

"Uncooked is (unsurprisingly) a 100% raw restaurant. Everything at this new carryout spot is vegan, and the food is worth seeking out even if you like eating your food, you know, cooked. We ordered the kelp noodle cacio e pepe, radish ravioli with kale pesto, and a “tuna” dip made with chickpeas, wakame, and cashews. If you’re in the market for some healthy food with ingredients you can pronounce, this is a great option." - adrian kane

As someone from California, I'm always looking for the best smoothies and bowls when I travel. Was fortunate to come across this gem in Chicago. Amazing owners who are so friendly and welcoming. The bowls are one of the best in the country and by far worth checking out. Not usually one to recommend acai bowls restaurants, but Sundrip is a MUST try location. Will be coming back every time I'm in Chicago going forward. Hands down worth going to.

I’m visiting from out of town and was searching for nearby vegan/plantbased spots to try. I decided to stop in and give them a try which I was assisted by Carol. The decor and atmosphere is so lovely and cozy! Carol gave me a great overview and description of their business which I love their entire concept of them catering to people who have restrictive diets. She was so sweet as well, please give them a try! 😊

This place is incredible! We had the cacio e pepe, sun dried tomato sushi, and chocolate matcha donut - everything was so flavorful and delicious. You can tell they’re really investing in high quality ingredients. The shop owner was so sweet as well. I definitely need to come here everytime I'm in Chicago

Best acai bowl in Chicago! They make the most incredible granola and almond butter homemade. I’ve tried all bowls in Chicago and nothing compares. They also have incredible other vegan dishes and I am not even vegan! To top it off, it’s family owned but the sweetest family. Go check it out, you will too fall in love!

Even if you are not vegan or WFPB yet, you’re sure the love and appreciate the quality and passion in each bite at this plant-based cafe. Not only not was the food delicious, the service was outstanding. The ladies were upbeat and personable from the moment we walked through the door until we left. We had green juice, overnight oats, matcha latte, a cookie dough muffin, a smoothie, strawberry donut, and strawberry cake. It’s a must visit when you are in the area!

So happy to have this healthy veg-focused option in Fulton/West Loop! Their smoothie bowls are excellent! I loved the classic açai bowl, and the power bowl, which had a great chocolatey flavor. Their smaller bites like the mini cookie energy bite was great too! The young woman working there was so welcoming and explained the options. She said their foods are about 90% raw. Also, they have a Sundrip app where you can order delivery or pick up. And since it's prepaid, you can just run in and grab your order from their pick up fridge, no wait! The owner is so full of pepp & passion for her foods. I once heard hear belting out Earth Wind & Fire while prepping in the back!

We found this place right before we left Chicago. Fresh and quality ingredients, tasty and healthy food. We got a few salads to take with us for our 5 hours drive home. So nice to enjoy a healthy lunch instead of grabbing fast food:). The staff we met at the store was so patient and friendly. Looking forward to trying their acai bowl and smoothie when we're back in the area.

Carole is such a nice and caring lady! Food is amazing and couldn't believe it was all raw! I'm vegan and I'll definitely go back to support again this great small business 💕✨

I have to admit that I'm not a vegan nor do I typically eat vegan food. However, I I had the opportunity to recently visit Sundrip. They have two locations, one in Hyde Park and one Fulton Market. I recently visited the location in Fulton Market. As not a non-vegan, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I ordered the vegan sushi, the vegan donut, the white bean and kale salad, the immunity smoothie (mango and banana flavor) and a performance punch. This going to be a theme, I'm not a big fan of kale, but the white bean and kale salad was my favorite. Unlike may kale salads I've had, it was flavorful and I loved that they add jalapeños. They provided a nice kick of heat. My other favorite item was the vegan donut. It wasn't really a donut, but actually a high protein power ball and in then shape of a donut. I also enjoyed the smoothie as well. The ambiance and interior kind of reflects the industrial nature and history of the neighborhood. The interior was mostly white tiles with pops of color. The pops of color are most green reflecting the vegan nature of the restaurant. The staff were super friendly and enthusiastic about their food and products. They took the time to explain to me that all the food and products are vegan, raw and allergen free. I also learned that it is black and woman owned. From the way they talked about the restaurant, you could tell they were passionate about their food. In sum, this spot is a must visit, even for non-vegans.

My friend and I came across this place wanting to have a healthy snack after doing a Pilates class in west loop. The staff was really sweet in answering our questions and explaining everything. I got the powerhouse smoothie as this was one of the most popular ones and I wanted some protein. I also added some strawberries to have some fruits because I love a fruit smoothie. It's also very cute inside and great to just grab and go whatever you need.

Kimberly B.

Yelp

Seriously a great place for whole food ingredients if you want a break from eating out. I especially loved the sesame noodles. It was very tasty and nutritious. You can grab it to go and eat it later (hot or cold). The smoothie was OK but a little expensive IMO. I'll come back and try other savory dishes. Even if you love meat, you can expect to be full from all the veggie based options they have!!!

Jessica S.

Yelp

My new favorite lunch spot in West Loop! I stopped by Sundrip with a friend because we were looking for smoothie spots. I was impressed with their expansive menu and their ready to food options. I got the chipotle noodle which was amazing - it was a little bit spicy. The serving looks small, but it was super filling. I also have tried two of their smoothies, both of which were incredible. The indoors area had some nice, though limited, seating, but there are some tables outside as well. The staff were incredibly friendly. This place was a bit pricy ~$30 for the noodles and smoothie, but I thought it was absolutely worth it and I will definitely be going back again!

Trisha F.

Yelp

My review is for takeout. I've been Grubhub this place for a while to work. The chipotle noodles are my favorite. The Asian noodles are my second fav. The focassia bread is so delicious! It's really dense and filling. I feel so raw and healthy eating the food here. I also enjoy the greens cold pressed juice!

Cheyenne G.

Yelp

My job provided lunch from here and I got the seasons noodle which was absolutely delicious! It's hard to truly find healthy noodle dishes that don't make you feel bloated afterwards. The kelp noodles were light and savory, and the vegetables were well seasoned and flavorful. The almond sauce was to die for! I highly recommend ordering this if you need a healthy bite while on the go!

Marissa L.

Yelp

Sundrip (formerly uncooked) is a fantastic raw vegan spot. I've been there a few times now, and everything I've tried has tasted great. On the sweet side, they have smoothies, acai bowls, overnight oats, and more, and we've really liked the donuts and muffins. But my favorite things there are both savory items packed with bold flavors - the sushi and chipotle noodles. The latter was new to me on my most recent visit, and I would definitely get that again. Looking forward to returning and trying more!

Yelp

$15 on a smoothie bowl that contained pineapples FROM A CAN. Mango is frozen and not available for immediate use in bowls. My Açaí base has freezer burn and did not taste fresh. And ingredients like goji berry that were listed on the menu for my item were not included. When I raised with cashier she stated they were out but had no good reason for not telling me that and giving me a chance to substitute. For $15 all of the ingredients should be FRESH. Even the strawberries came. In those pre packaged containers of fruit you get from the grocery store....disappointing to say the least. The entire point of coming to places like these and spending more is to get better quality but that was not the case here. All that aside, I will say the owner and staff are incredibly nice. They gave me a refund when I asked. This place has potential and I hope they take the hard earned money of their customers and use it to invest in real ingredients. We deserve that much.

This place is awesome!! I was recently in the area and I stopped through here 3 or so times for a smoothie. Unfortunately, I never got to try their food but if it's anything like the smoothies it is both flavorful and healthy. My go to smoothie quickly became 'That Powerhouse'; it was very tasty and nutritional. In addition to the smoothies, I did have one of their cold-pressed juice combos and it was a very tasty blend of greens. The staff that I encountered on my visits were amazing!!! From the moment I entered I could feel the positive energy and it started with the staff and flowed into the smoothies, food, cold pressed juices, etc. all the to the customers. Everyone that entered was greeted the same way. The space is compact but well utilized. There are a few tables inside for seating and similar outside. As for parking, there is street parking available throughout the area. If you are in the area and looking for healthy, I highly recommend Uncooked. I look forward to future visits when I am back in the area.

The way I really wanted to gatekeep this place because of their açaí bowls. But I won't, I'm telling you right now that this is one of the best acai bowls i've ever had in my life. Why do I say that, you ask? They put this almond butter with almond pieces on top and it's just the perfect pairing. The saltiness from the almond butter balances the sweetness of the fruits and the texture the almonds provide is just heavenly. Run, don't walk

R. C.

Yelp

The reviews are to be believed! This is some of the most flavorful and delicious raw food I've ever had (and I love raw food). It's stop-you-in-your-tracks tasty and satisfying/filling while still feeling light. And don't be fooled by the fact that the food is pre-packaged--it tastes (and is) vibrantly fresh. Sundrip has fantastic options for limited diets (even a couple of desserts sweetened with monk fruit rather than sugar or dates), and the staff were more than happy to answer multiple questions about ingredients (in addition to being warm, friendly, and lovely in general). I recently visited with an omnivore friend, and he enjoyed the food almost as much as I do--so much so that he even grabbed an extra dessert to take for the road. I especially love the cacio e pepe, sushi, and lemon-raspberry cake cup. Hoping they bring back the pesto noodle bowl and expand their sugar-free/date-free options. Give this place a try! (No, I don't personally know the owners or have a stake in the business--I just adore this place, love having these kinds of options in Chicago, and want to see Sundrip succeed!)

I was so hungry after arriving for the first time in Chicago and went on a search for vegan food. I came along this spot and decided to head out on a quest by foot. The place was almost a mile away from the hotel I'm staying, nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable walk. Once there I was a little confused (it seems that the name of the restaurant is changing) but they greeted me and said I was in the right spot. They have a fridge with ready to go food that came very handy cause I was ready to eat. After browsing for a few minutes I decided to go with the Pasta primavera, the infused cold brew, and the carrot cake. I couldn't pin point all the flavors in the pasta but I didn't care. It was so delicious and filling. The cold brew was amazing, I've been to many different spots that have cold pressed juices and this has been the best. The right amount of sweetness and flavors. The carrot cake was prob my least favorite. In my opinion it tastes more like lemon and ginger than carrot. It was still yummy. The food seems a bit pricey but it's worth every single penny.

Best smoothies you'll find in Chicago and it's not even close. I've tried so many smoothie places and this one is truly a gift from above. Also, the workers here are very kind, warm, and welcoming.

John B.

Yelp

This is a small place with a couple of indoor and outdoor tables which offers smoothies and salads. The grab and go salads and oats looked appealing, but I settled on trying an acai bowl. This is not a very big acai bowl, and it is pricey. However, the quality was top notch, with the tart flavor of the acai being given some finely ground granola and some delightful little chocolate nibs for contrast, along with ample fruit I'm not saying you have to spend $12 for a little bowl, but I am saying that if you do you'll probably be happy.

The chipotle bowl and carrot cake are my favorites and I crave them all the time. We also like the sushi and hope they bring it back! Would recommend this place to anyone vegan or not!

Disappointed when I picked up my Açaí bowl this afternoon and saw the portions got dramatically smaller. They used to have larger round Kraft paper bowls with a beautiful presentation ! Now they have a smaller clear circular container. Presentation wise no where near as pretty as what they were before.... Picture below. As for quality of ingredients I was also not happy when I noticed the sliced bananas were black underneath the pb. I'll stop by for smoothies in the future but will no longer buy any bowls.

Yesenia S.

Yelp

Stopped by uncooked for a pressed juice specifically their watermelon juice because it's currently in season. It was so refreshing. They are a grab and go restaurant focused on plant- based food. Everything is raw uncooked. They have food, coffee, deserts, juices smoothies. They have a fridge that has pre-made food and drink items. Which is great if you are on the go or just want to stop by some where quickly. They even have an app where you can order ahead. I haven't tried any of the food but I definitely will be stopping by and trying food. Their bowls look so delicious.

Eric W.

Yelp

Delicious food and friendly service but the size of the acai bowl is a joke. I almost thought about cancelling my order when I saw for $12 I was getting an acai bowl in a micro sized take out container. Absolutely delicious acai but I can't see that size bowl filling anyone up except if they are a child. At very least they should make it very clear you are buying a snack and not a meal and maybe offer a larger option for a bit higher price. The cold pressed juice was delicious.

Devon B.

Sundrip is a neighborhood staple! They have delicious smoothies, bowls, salads, soups, and other healthy goodies. It's a welcome and inviting environment with friendly staff. A great casual spot for a bite to eat, for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Maitri S.

Went in for a dessert and came out with the best salad I've ever had! (The dessert was also amazing) I'm not normally a salad girl, but this salad hit the spot. It was so FRESH, FLAVORFUL, and the best part, it was RAW VEGAN! Jk the actual best part was that it was so filling (I only had half) and low calorie (250 calories for the whole thing‼) Oh and all of their containers are compostable The dessert was also very refreshing! The flavor combination of lemon and raspberry left a great after taste and I couldn't even believe it was raw vegan. Already making plans to come back and try everything from their menu Ft. ~Arugula Salad (Arugula, shallots, walnuts, candied beets and house-made mozzarella cheese served with a side of creamy balsamic dressing) ~Lemon Raspberry cake (raspberry cream layered between a lemon cashew cream and an almond crust)

I got the pesto noodles per my friend's recommendation Likes - Healthy and clean - It was my first time trying kelp noodles which had a chew to it Dislikes - Pricey at ~$15/bowl - Smallish portion sizes - All food is pre-made and sitting in the fridge - I'm not vegan so I wished it had some meat lol - Only two small tables

AKA Sundrip. This place was amazing and so cute! Regardless of your dietary preferences (go vegan though), everything here was amazingly curated. I had a smoothie and a doughnut. The staff was super friendly and helpful and even gave a free sample! 10/10 I want to go back and get a shake or oats to go.

Sundrip has been my favorite healthy food spot in the city for years now. There's nothing on the menu I don't like. My favorite is the sesame noodle or the seasonal items

This place is great. The smoothies are refreshing and the food has been delicious. A great vegan joint, plenty of flavor in the food. My gf and I are visiting this place everyday of the Windy City Smokeout to get fresh vegan food for breakfast before we go eat all the bbq! Highly recommend trying a smoothie, or the blueberry overnight oats!

Thea G.

Yelp

I tried this place with some co-workers and was glad I did -- it made for a filling & nutritious workday lunch. The options are varied (curries, pesto, ramen, inventive desserts) and I really appreciated their transparency when putting the ingredients on the front label. There was even a dish made with kelp noodles! All in all, a solid place to go for a quick meal. Great service and cool events on the weekend (there's one celebrating their anniversary 7/11). My only grief was the price, but the amount of food was worth it. It may not look like a huge portion, but it's fibrous and filling.

This place is a gem! The customer service is great and you can tell how much they care about what they do. The food is delicious, fresh, and healthy. All gluten free and safe. Best unsweetened acai bowl in the city - can't miss spot!

I absolutely love this place. Everything I have tried here is good. The acai bowl is my favorite for breakfast. Its very fulfilling. I grabbed the chipotle noodle for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. It taste so fresh. This morning I grabbed the tuscan white bean kale soup. This is spectacular, the flavors are perfect. It's seasoned very well. I totally recommend. Especially if you are vegetarian.

James M.

The açaí blueberry bowl was amazing and fantastic! I really enjoyed the selection of drinks! . . . . But for real this place goes crazy. The dessert there was so incredible that I had to put down my spoon after the first bite and put my mind back together because it was blown

Eva D.

Yelp

The best raw, gluten free vegan restaurant! The desserts melt in your mouth and the newest menu additions like the tomato soup and focaccia bread more than satisfy the savory tooth. As a functional medicine physician, I can't recommend this place highly enough to all my patients and just anyone looking for incredible flavor without sabotaging your health. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Janet C.

Yelp

Oh my goodness. So glad I stumbled upon this new place today. So many healthy options. I ordered the Turmeric Latte with macadamia nut milk. Mind. Blown. It is absolutely delicious. Smooth, a little nutty, and totally scrumptious. Some of the food that is ready-to-go looks like artwork, it is so pretty! Y'all can download the app and earn your rewards at this great place too. And the people here are so nice and friendly. Thanks Jeremy for taking such good care of me today. I will certainly be back. Clearly I have to try everything on the menu. Cheers!

Jonathan C.

Yelp

We only made it to the sidewalk before falling I love with this place. The people running the place came out to welcome us ( don't think this happens all the time but felt so lovely). The food was incredible. The best açaí bowl I've ever had. The GF granola was like pie crust it was so delicious. We were able to sit outside in the sun and enjoy the patio and enjoyed several items from the menu. The turmeric muffins blew my mind. They were amazing. Overall I can't wait to come back here. From out of town. Not from the area, but anytime I'm in the neighborhood I'm going to stop in.

Jim D.

Yelp

To y dismay they no longer sell The cacio y Pepe however this was a sold choice for a vegetarian dinner. I made the mistake of assuming these $12 bowls weren't "filling" but my carnivorous mind always convinced me that I'm not full unless I consume some type of beef, Turkey. While neither bowl was mindblowingly delicious the curry had a ton more flavor than the ramen. I tend to opt for vegetarian dishes that mimic regular food & while there weren't options here this probably stay in my rotation of places to visit while I'm eating correctly.

Courtney C.

Yelp

On a cold-ish, rainy day, I didn't expect raw vegan food to be the comfort I needed but it most certainly was. I am new to the area and wanted a quick grab and go option. Their sushi looked delicious, and it most certainly was! Colorful, salty, sweet, savory, sour mmmm. Delicious! I am vegan but not raw vegan, but this roll was amazing and filling. I would happily return. Thanks!

Emily N.

Uncooked is one of my favorite food stops in Chicago. Everything I've tried is delicious, fresh, and flavorful and you are left feeling full off of a highly nutritious meal.

A Beautiful spot with EXCELLENT raw dishes. So many options to choose from I was heaven. You can't go wrong with ANY dish. The Owner Carole was the icing on the cake. You can tell when someone loves what they do it'll show in their food and service.

Stephanie H.

Yelp

Uncooked focuses on raw foods and healthy smoothies. I stopped by and got "that cleanse" smoothie, made fresh right in front of me. This smoothie has mango, cucumber, kale, Granny Smith apples, and almond milk. No sweeteners added so if you like yogurt, etc then probably not for you. But I love me a good raw food and vegan smoothie. The customer service is fantastic and they make recommendations! My next purchase will be an açaí bowl.
