Mingle Juice Bar

This place is AWESOME! I’ve been waiting for a Jamba Juice or other juice bar to pop up in the area, but then I discovered this place and I’m so glad I did! Kim, the owner, is friendly and helpful. The employees could use some more product knowledge, but all of the juices and smoothies are DELICIOUS! Also, although this place is a bit pricey, you’re getting every penny’s worth — these items are NOT cheap to make, especially organically. Support your local businesses!!! See you tomorrow, Mingle!

Great little place for great cold pressed juices and smoothies. The owner Kim was very helpful and knowledgable with any questions I have since I am transitioning into drinking cold pressed juices regularly now. So it was nice to see she was so hands on.
Also… People who bitch about it being expensive should go slave away and make their own cold pressed juices or smoothies constantly. I bet you won’t think they are charging too much after you realize that it isn’t easy what they are doing.

First time customer. Have had Acai bowls in many different states. This is by far the best. Perfect ratio of fruit, Acai and granola. Also had the Electric Youth Juice and it was very yummy. Again, perfect ratio. Most places over do it on the ginger but not mingle. Everything was perfect. I’d definitely recommend and come back.

Free wifi, amazing acai bowls, divine décor !
Sometimes there is a line, but it is worth the wait. My favorite juice is Electric youth. Fun names of drinks and seasonal menu makes it fun to see what’s new. Awesome family run business!

Solid a-​okay. Would give 3.5 if I could.
Smoothies are delicious and filling. There are even some low cal options that have protein. You can drink your veggies and feel energy for hours.
Cold pressed juice is not as great as some other spots (namely protein bar in the puddle proper or Suja that you can buy at whole foods). Even Mariano’s juice bar has more robust flavors.
It’s a tad bit expensive. You may be better off making your own smoothie at home. But as the queen of lazy, that ain’t gonna happen for me.
Hours don’t really accommodate us early risers, although it is the only juice bar in the area open before 10. Such is life in the burbs.
Will return.

Love this place! The juices are freah and so good and good for you. Great service with a smile. Had the super cold blaster this morning needed an extra boost with so many people with a cold around me.

Such delicious recipes and variety of menu items. Great place to stop for breakfast or lunch options.

I am a raw vegan with high standards and this is amongst the best of the best!
Fabulous one-​of-​a-​kind (not a chain or franchise), cozy little cold pressed and freshly made juice bar that also serves salads and smoothies. I go out of my way to come here since discovering it.
I love it love it love it!

Not a fan at all! If you looking for the best, it’s true juice in Winnetka. Amazing smoothies, juices, and healthy foods. The only reason I go to mingle is because I take my kids to the theater next door. And ever time I go they are always out of bananas, which is the main ingredient in most all their smoothies. The young gentlemen is very nice and always apologizes for being out of bananas. When they do have bananas they are never ripe. So the smoothie ends up tasting very bitter. I Finally, saw the owner and told her the issue about never having bananas. She was extremely rude and defensive. I would not recommend this place. If you ever in Winnetka try true juice. You will not be disappointed!

I have only been to this place once. But the One Love juice is out of this world amazing. And I also appreciate the modern design to the place. It’s definitely going to be a place I will probably do studying at. I loved the atmosphere!

I really really like coming to this place for a refreshing drink or snack. Great atmosphere and extremely extensive menu, even though the prices are to the moon. Expect to spend AT LEAST $ 10/​person.
I do like most of their drinks, but they tend to come out on the watery side and are inconsistent. Their açai bowls are so good and priced appropriately for the amount/​toppings but could be less watery… more frozen or creamier maybe.
The worst part about this place is the service. Many RUDE, unhappy high school students. When I was in high school and worked a mediocre job, I at least put on a smile — it’s not that hard!

What I love most about Mingle is… well everything! Mingle is a juice bar with your health in mind and that’s why I love it. I am ADDICTED to lemonade so being able to get a low sugar chemically free delicious Lemon Shake Up makes my day! If you are going here expecting a thick, creamy, milkshake that’s just not going to happen. This isn’t a Jamba Juice where the drinks have juice in the names but aren’t healthy. These are still amazingly delicious but also good for you. I think the reviews where people seem unsatisfied might be because of some unrealistic expectations.
Some of my favorites:
–The Cinnamon Roll. It takes like the delicious milk in the bottom of a bowl filled with cinnamon toast crunch.
–Lemon Shake Up. So damn delicious with a pop of tart that it makes it so tasty. It was so hot on Saturday that I made my bf take me so I could get one and it was the best thing in the world on a hot day while out in the sun.
–The Chocolate Shake. So much yum. Always tasty and satisfying and great for a pre or post workout.
–One Love. Both my boss and my bf love this. I don’t like Kale so I haven’t tried it but it always get finished in a few minutes so that must be a good thing!
–Godzilla Shots! OMG these are the BEST energy boost.
–The muffins. You cannot east just one. Seriously they are addicting! Tasty, baked perfect, scrumptious.
The cons:
–That’s there’s not one right next to my house?
This is an A+ plus but know that it is run by two health conscious people who are make delicious juices not filled with processed stuff. Come here for a healthy and delicious drink in a beautiful atmosphere with friendly people. The whole crew is great, the place is sparkling clean, sunny, and relaxing.

I LOVE Mingle and I recommend it to anyone and everyone around the Glen… but I’ve noticed lately if the owner Kim isn’t making the smoothies, they are NO good. I’ve had 2 – 3 tasteless watery smoothies made by employees when Kim wasn’t in. They were not up to par :(
I haven’t given up yet but I hope that all of the employees can learn the recipes to make them as good as I know they can be!

Delicious breakfast smoothie bowls. Great, fresh ingredients. No dairy based liquids are used so it makes for a great healthy breakfast.
Located at the heart of the glen the location is great for anyone who works or lives in the area.
Prices are typical for most suburban juice bars. However, the range of options is much larger than other juice bars in the area.

It feels like the south here. Healthy and bright. Take note though, I’ve never spend time in the south to enjoy Southern Hospitality. I did enjoy the hospitality here though. I walked in thirsty and I was greeted with a nice smile and a helpful girl behind the bar. After some initial questions about my mood, she pointed me in the direction of the OJ smoothie. It was good, refreshing, and orange.
It was a bit pricey though, and it was the same thing that I could’ve gotten at a Jamba Juice.
The only thing that I noticed to be different was their juicing options and their knowledge about their products. I figure if I were a suburban soccer mom who was thirsty before my yoga class, this would be the go to place.
I like it. You will too. Cheapskates beware.

I was excited to try out Mingle but my experience here was mediocre. I ordered the Jammin smoothie which was blueberries, strawberries, kale, banana, and your choice of a nut butter. Here are things I liked and didn’t like about Mingle.
LIKES
*customization — you’re able to choose the base to your smoothie (almond, soy, coconut, coconut water, or rice) in addition to swapping out fruits or veggies if you don’t like one of the ingredients in the drinks
*cute décor and ambiance
*healthy options to your typical smoothies/​juices/​milkshakes
DISLIKES
*overpriced drinks — yes I know they use fresh ingredients but seriously, $ 7 for a 16oz smoothie?
*my drink was super liquid-​y and had no taste to it. I’ve made smoothies at home that tasted 100x better. I couldn’t taste any banana or nut butter and those two alone have very strong flavors.
I doubt I’d return to Mingle but the concept of a healthy juice bar is appealing especially in the North Shore Area.

Simply adorable. This juice and smoothie shop is as cute as can be. Kudos to whoever designed it. I would not mind several rooms at home like this. The smoothies base can be almond, peanut, soy, rice or coconut, I believe, and then additions from there. They have many pre-​chosen smoothies on the menu. On our single visit so far, I chose the «Let it go» 16 ounce smoothie with an almond milk base. The smoothie itself consists of hot chocolate mix, banana and choice of nut butter. Only 125 calories, yummy and quite filling! They make everything there, all organic or as much as possible. My husband chose the «Jammin’» smoothie (220 calories) which is berry-​heavy with a bit of banana and kale. I tasted it and it was very good, though I think it could have used some sweetness to combat the tart, perhaps a touch of honey or agave. Each cost a mere $ 6, and I think well worth it.
There is also a case of pre-​made items including their own in-​house crafted almond milks. I’m quite anxious to try these but they were out. I think the trick is to get there early. They run about $ 9 for a 16 ounce. I’ll have to get there early enough to try and grab a bottle and give it a whirl. More to come on that. You can also pick up an acai bowl, or soup and sandwiches, all of a veggie nature.
This shop is in the Glen which I was not familiar with and now, I’m eager to explore the tons of shops an eateries in the future. I foresee a lot of mornings starting my day out here, fuel for my running (& shopping) excursions.

So with the New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions. Mine was to get my life in order… Step 1. Quit smoking. Step 2. Cleaner eating!
Well since step 1 is done it’s on to step 2 and for that… this place is a Godsend! Today was my first time and I’ll be back at least once a week.
The acai bowls alone should bring you back. The quality and quantity for the price cannot be beat! They’re delicious. I also got the Come on Eileen smoothie. With the cacao and cinnamon it had a delicious fruity oatmeal cookie taste to it. The Buffalo Soldier juice was yummy on first taste. That ones in the fridge with a cup of their ginger miso soup waiting for lunch.
Also, the staff were amazing helping me pick exactly what I wanted. And the co-​owner made a point to come over and introduce herself and show me around. How can it get better?!
Now that I’ve rambled… Come here if you like good quality and great taste! I’ll be back for sure.

We be jammin’… my smoothie was so good I forgot to snap a photo before it was too late.
Contrary to what some people might believe about me, I’m a bit of a chicken when it comes to trying new foods. If someone were to put these two things in front of me – a stack of Oreo cookies and a pile of kale – my heart would tell me to go with the cookie and my head would feel guilty knowing I should choose the kale.
And what’s with almond milk anyway?
What I know now… healthy can taste good!
So I ordered the Jammin’ smoothie with almond milk, strawberry, blueberry, kale, banana, and peanut butter. Holy deliciousness! I couldn’t taste the kale at all! And, I’m sure that was super healthy peanut butter in there too. Thick like a milkshake, and bursting with flavor. So filling that it was my dinner for the night — can you say tasty and easy meal replacement?
Note: One of the co-​owners is a physician, so each yummy bite is doctor approved!
Great addition to The Glen. They also have more than smoothies on their menu:
— Cold press juices (Give Me The Beet Boys)
— Almond milk concoctions to-​go
— Summer offering of Hawaiian shaved ice
— Made to order juices (It’s A Chard-​Knock Life)
— Acai bowls
I gave this place 4 out of 5 stars because they are still working out a few kinks on some of their smoothie flavors, but other than that, I’m anxious to go back when I’m feeling the Oreo guilt.

Finally, it’s open! I tried Mingle Juice Bar at a promotional Unilocal event and have been excitedly awaiting it’s arrival. The space is very open and relaxing with fresh produce on display, a refrigerated section with cold pressed juices (there was a special today for $ 2 carrot/​ginger) try this amazing dessert made of chia seeds, coconut milk, shredded coconut and berries,) and some baked goods in the front. There’s a huge array of drinks from cold pressed, freshly made to order juices or smoothies, some desserts and other healthy treats which is a great alternative to the overly sweet and processed foods out there. I tried the ‘strawberry fields’ smoothie with strawberry/​blueberry/​peach/​kale/​coconut milk and it was not too sweet and was filling. For the fresh smoothies you can opt for a choice of soy/​almond/​or coconut milk or coconut water.
On my first visit, I tried ‘one love’ which is freshly made to order with apple, lime, mint, and kale. I really loved this drink and will get it again. also tried a sample of ‘let it go’ smoothie which is essentially like a chocolate milkshake… so yummy!
There’s a huge variety of drinks to choose from which can appease the pickiest of eaters. Additionally, the owners are so nice and I’m happy to see them so active within the community at various events. Congrats on your opening and I’m looking forward to making my way through the menu!
