Bonita Bowls - Park Ridge, Illinois

Walked in and was immediately greeted. The atmosphere was super cute and welcoming. I really liked the layout of the place. Once I was ready to order, it did take a while for the guy to come back because he was the only one there and was making other orders. When he finally came back, he seemed pretty overwhelmed with all of the things he was doing. The order did take a very long time but I wasn’t in a rush so that wasn’t a huge deal. The food was good, I ordered the pumpkin smoothie bowl which was decent but the base was very sweet. I also tried the coconut base which was much more mellow and also good. Overall really great experience and would definitely recommend it and will be going back soon!

Braved the cold to get the bowl!

Such a pretty space; love the colorful wisteria hanging from the ceiling, the neon wall sign and the area where the trash goes. Even the tables have the colorful brand signature all over it.

Frank was pretty nice, took my order and handed me a Yelp color changing spoon. How cool. Although, this Bonita Bowl location has only been open since December, the owner is very ambitious. It was shared that there is another store opening soon in LaGrange and the owner also decided to franchise. Nice.

I went with the most popular bowl, the Bonita. It was loaded; acai based with granola, bananas, strawberries, nutella and coconut flakes. You can add more fruit if you like. It was perfect, fresh and filling.

There is a parking lot behind the shop, we came on a Saturday so it was free after a certain time. We came after 7 pm so we were good. Inside there is one table and the rest are like bar seats, approximately 7-8 chairs. I got an acai based bowl, the power up for my bowl. It came with granola, banana, peanut butter, and chocolate protein. It’s a pretty healthy bowl and I’m glad there’s one closer to me in DG. The employees were all very nice. It does take some time to prepare.

She glad they’re opening new locations around the area. Also, was delighted to see the menu had expanded since my last visit. Açaí base is so delicious. Chicken Caesar wrap was the best I’ve had too!

Update….”Granola-gate!!” since the owner labeled my review as misleading…here’s food for thought…. They charge $1.50 for extra granola…did they give me back $1.50 for not getting granola? No?!? 🤣🤣 I did decline their freebie. I’m wasn’t posting for that. I’ll be back to see if they fix this issue but do better and don’t give weak excuses for poor items..

I’ve been there 3x. This place is inconsistent. When I went there last week they were fine. This is what I received this week.. Can’t believe I was charged $12.95 for what looks like 1/2 a serving. This place has also become a tween / Maine South hang out, so I don’t recommend dining in, I guess, unless you are a tween…. Too bad. I had high hopes for this place. The Açaí bowl place at the farmer’s market was my weekly go to and I was so excited we were getting a place in town.

I visited Bonita Bowl again today to give it another try, and it was exceptional! I ordered a smoothie bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. I have a gluten allergy, and they were very accommodating, which I greatly appreciated. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was high quality, and the taste was excellent.

During my first visit, it was clear they were still finding their footing as a brand-new business, and unfortunately, the food wasn’t great that day. However, the owner responded to my original review and offered to make it right—and I’m so glad I took them up on it!

The food today completely changed my experience, and I’ll definitely be returning. They’re right around the corner from my chiropractor, so this will be the perfect stop for lunch afterward.

Highly recommend the smoothie bowls—delicious and fresh!
