OUR STORY

Our Story

EveryThing Countz Wellness Café was birthed in 2006 when Chris and Juliea had just gotten married. Chris was already an accomplished chef with an affinity for all things butter and cream, while Juliea, with her background in Nutrition Science Health and Wellness, was seeking to make eating healthy easier and more appealing. They knew they wanted to create their own business, but for the first ten years of their marriage and business, it felt like they were oil and water! However, as they matured and sought understanding for both passions, they discovered a way to harmoniously blend their worlds, and ETC Wellness Café was born.


Meet our chefs

Our mission is to take the everyday foods you have right in your kitchen and help you reinvent them. We found that many people struggle with understanding what to eat and how to eat it, often equating healthy eating with bland or unsatisfying meals. So, we decided to challenge that philosophy by teaching people how to prepare and enjoy meals that contain less than five ingredients. We wanted to create food that not only tastes good but looks good and feels good too.


As a black-owned family business, we’ve stayed true to our roots, infusing passion, knowledge, and heart into all we do. Our menu extends across a myriad of food genres, all crafted with our philosophy of fewer than five ingredients. From tapas and finger foods to brunch and dinner, our menu is a testament to the fact that healthy food doesn’t have to be complex or boring.



We’ve also grown to be more than just a café. We host cooking demonstrations and educational classes to share our culinary secrets and health insights with our patrons. It’s a joy to see the amazement on people’s faces when they discover how simple it is to cook delicious, healthy meals at home, and even commercially.


Through the years, we’ve established EveryThing Countz Wellness Café as a true family-based business and a pillar of the community. We’ve had the honor of working with esteemed entities like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Howard Brown, the Chicago Police Department, and several mega-churches. From Monday to Sunday, we cater for large corporations, special events like weddings and funerals, and even personal occasions. We also participate in festivals throughout the year where we not only serve our food but educate people about our cooking philosophy.


For us, food is more than just sustenance - it’s a ministry. We revel in every opportunity to share our love for food and wellness with people across the world. Our dishes, ranging from traditional to foreign, are always prepared with utmost love and care, promising to never disappoint.


Join us today at EveryThing Countz Wellness Café, because everything you do to better your health truly does count. Experience the difference of healthy, delicious meals prepared with fewer than five ingredients. Discover that a healthier lifestyle can be delicious, satisfying, and above all, attainable. Welcome to our family!
