Hummingbird Bowls is opening next month in Downtown Skokie. The restaurant will offer a nutrition-focused menu to the neighborhood. It will also feature a monthly community menu program, giving customers a chance to submit their own smoothie and bowl ideas.
Hummingbird Bowls to Open in Downtown Skokie Next Month
Skokie is soon to welcome a woman-owned fast-casual restaurant to its culinary scene. Amy Feldman is a third-generation Skokie resident who is opening Hummingbird Bowls. She has more than 25 years of experience in the natural food industry.
Feldman has worked with well-known natural food brands such as POM Wonderful, Lifeway Foods, and Enjoy Life Foods. She draws on her experience with these brands in launching the new restaurant. Hummingbird Bowls is designed as a community-focused space centered on healthy food.
“I’ve spent over 25 years helping build brands that stand for something. Hummingbird is the first one I’m launching as my own — and it’s rooted in the place that made me,” said Amy Feldman, Founder, Hummingbird Hideaway LLC. “Every ingredient, every name on the menu, every nonprofit we partner with reflects this community. I want people to walk in and feel that: a great space to pause, reset, and fuel up before they continue with their journey.”
The restaurant is located at 5118 Oakton Street and will open on June 2. It will serve smoothies, bowls, and light bites focused on health-oriented ingredients. The menu is inspired by local landmarks and community stories. Organic açaí is sourced from Brazil.

Features of the New Restaurant
Hummingbird Bowls brings a unique dining experience to the neighborhood. It also features a monthly community menu program. Through this program, customers can take part in creating new smoothie and bowl ideas.
Customers can submit their ideas along with a nonprofit they want to support. Guests vote on their favorite creation, and 100% of the proceeds from the winning item will go to the selected nonprofit. The program will begin with a special menu item created by Chef Sven Lindroth.
With this opening, Hummingbird Bowls aims to be more than just a healthy dining spot. The community-driven program and menu are designed to engage residents and support local nonprofits.
