Went in today because of the suggestion of some girls that work at lululemons. Ordered 2 smoothies. Asked if she had whey protein powder, lady said yes. Ordered the deep yellow & deep green, both with whey protein powder. After we paid I saw she put in vegan vanilla protein powder, not whey. The deep yellow was extremely thick & lacked smoothie in the cup, about 3 inches from the lid. It wasn’t filled. I pointed it out to the girl & said she had no more, sorry. We left & it tasted way too sweet so we returned & stated it wasn’t made right. It’s too sweet & too think.. We’d like the deep purple smoothie with no protein. She made it, with an attitude, didn’t refund the fee for the protein powder. Walked out with the deep purple smoothie & that was soo watered down. Tasted like water with seeds. Someone please teach the employees customer service & smoothie making skills. I’d like a refund too. PS. Left her a cash tip too before the smoothies were even made.

Read moreFantastic - I love a good açaí bowl, but you’d be surprised how hard it is to get a GOOD açaí bowl. I stopped by Purpl on my way to the Salt Shed for a concert.

Sometimes people make açaí bowl with all the ingredients on the top and it drives me crazy 🤣 Great proportions and layers too. 10/10, can’t wait to come by for another concert just to get a...
Read moreWe’ve been coming to Deep Purple on North Avenue every day — it’s hands-down our favorite spot for açaí bowls. We even tried the Lincoln Park location, but nothing beats the quality and consistency at this one.
The açaí bowls here are always fresh, perfectly blended, and loaded with generous, high-quality toppings. Every bowl feels like it’s made with care.
A big part of what keeps us coming back is Milton. He's always friendly, welcoming, and he makes every visit a great experience. You can tell he takes pride in what he does.
If you’re looking for the best açaí in Chicago, this is it. Deep Purple- North Avenue location with Milton...
