Froots

OK, when this place opened it was a good, healthy place to go and get a smoothie and a wrap or salad. I’m not sure what happened over the past year, but this place has now turned into a hot dog joint/​smoothie shop/​ice cream parlor. They are seriously confused here and I’m not even sure they are still even called «Froots.» with a Vienna beef hot dog banner that crookedly covers the sign.
The one star goes just to the location on North Ave., the location on Chicago Ave. in Evanston still operates like the one on North used to and is worth checking out.

How I wish those hardworking, stick-​it-​to-​the-​man mom’n’pop shops tasted better than the corporate chains, the Jamba Juices, the Chipotles. How I wish the service was faster, the employees friendlier.
But they don’t, and they aren’t, and one must face facts eventually. The smoothies are perfectly alright. They offer a free vitamin boost (need to boost your sex drive? here ya go) with the smoothie, which is perfectly decent, but it’s rather lackluster in comparison with Jamba Juice. As a heartless consumer, I really must go with the jamba.

Froots is my favorite quickie neighborhood restaurant. The staff are very friendly and the wrap and salad with wasabi & chicken are delicious!

This smoothie place on North Avenue is a really nice addition to the area. It’s located right across from my gym and it’s a great after work out treat to go and get a strawberry banana smoothie. They have tons of flavors that sound so good but I stick with the strawberry banana and it’s delicoius!

This is a new fast casual chain right off of North Avenue in Old Town. Although we didn’t try one, their shakes and smoothie menu looked tempting. Next time I will either try the oreo or peanut butter banana shake for sure! I had a chicken wasabi salad which was very tasty. I loved how they added ginger and crunchy noodles. The menu here features a variety of wraps, (including a wide selection breakfast wraps, salads, shakes, smoothies, and soups). The chain offers carry out, delivery, and dine in. I would think this would be a convenient to go option for those people going to and coming from the Brown line at Sedgwick.
