Finally ! I finally had the opportunity to try this place. I ordered a mango smoothie, oyster wing sandwich, and a side of burro tots. The food was delicious ! I will definitely be ordering again.

So excited to report that my experience here was a great one! I try to dig a little into any restaurant I plan to expose my taste buds to, and with my 1 hour research I decided to give CP a chance. Because it was my birthday weekend I was praying that this meal would be a hit, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Buffalo Oysters Mushrooms Taco, Oyster Wings, onion rings, and avocado fries! The taco was my least favorite but everything else was Thanks so much to Latrell for helping me make the best choices for me, and for the birthday dessert hookup! My sister even purchased some of their cajun seasoning! I will be returning and I'm telling everyone about this place! Oh I can't forget to shot out the sauces, Conscious sauce, bbq sauce and even the agave syrup was special!

Conscious Plates is the place to be!! I love all of their tacos and want an entire bucket of that sweet fire sauce YUM! I've been to this location a countless number of times and have recently ordered their 14-day meal plan. I loved having my favorite food every day while not having to sacrifice health or fullness. Everything was perfect and I always looked forward to my meal throughout the day hehe. Will be stopping by again to try the new lion's mane burger, yes ma'am! Y'all support this business! The owner is amazing and has an amazing vision! I will be coming here for as long as I'm in Chicago!

If you're ever in the exclusive West Woodlawn community, do yourself a favor and check out Conscious Plates . I’m 41 years old, I work out, and I live a healthy lifestyle — and I can honestly say this spot checks every box when it comes to clean, flavorful, and nourishing food. As someone who already loves vegan food, I’ve truly come to appreciate the upgrade to alkaline eating — and Conscious Plates delivers on that in every way. Their menu is a beautiful blend of taste, intention, and health. Normally, I go for the cheesy mushroom pizza, which never disappoints — from presentation to flavor to overall quality, it’s always exceptional. Today I switched it up and got the oyster wings, burro fries, and a refreshing raspberry soursop smoothie — and once again, they did not miss. Everything was seasoned perfectly and made with care. It’s not just food; it’s conscious nourishment. To me, conscious eating means being intentional about what we put in our bodies — choosing plant-based alternatives not just to feel better, but to live more mindfully and responsibly. We don’t have to change everything overnight. Like the quote says, “We can make small changes, point ourselves in the direction of health, and then just take those little steps and recreate momentum.” I highly recommend Conscious Plates and truly pray this business thrives for generations to come. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a movement, a message, and a true community treasure.

Everything was 10 out of 10! The flavors, textures and combinations of the ingredients are thoughtful and well executed. It can be difficult to find vegan spots that have it all - tastiness, minimally processed ingredients, and an inviting atmosphere- but Conscious Plates has you covered!

An elite level food experience every time I go. The food has the standard of a farmer from an ingredient standpoint and the culinary quality of top flight chefs. Birria Tacos, Fajita Tacos with mushrooms are the best. Oyster Mushroom bites are delicious. The hot sauce makes it even better. The onion rings side are are natural healthy version of the food made me actually like onion rings now. Fresh Quinoa salad with Parmesan Hemp cheese is superb. Natural drink options like real coconut water and tamarind juice. The atmosphere is very chill and inviting. Great place to eat in. Good chill music always playing. Incense burning. Board games and books as well.
