    Yum yum yum. Tried several brownies all were multi layer amazingness . My sweet tooth will have me returning soon!

    Oh, what a treat! I noticed this place whilst shopping in the store next door and had to take a look. Brou'ne focuses on brownies as their specialty. First there was the cupcake trend, then the cookie shops... are brownies about to have their day in the sun? The woman working (owner?) was really nice and gave me the lay of the land. They sell over a dozen kinds of brownies and blondies here. They had some special flavors (not on their posted menu) that seemed kind of fall-inspired, in addition to their standard fare. I'm not a brownie person but recently learned blondies are really good, so I got a Bee Bee blondie and a Carrie blondie. The Carrie is a carrot-cake like dessert, with caramel and cream cheese frosting. It was really good, and as a note it is a little "wetter" of a brownie due to the ingredients and thus a bit stickier. The Bee Bee features a biscoff cookie and white chocolate, and was really good. Both were rich and so good, and though they are a little expensive they're definitely worth the occasional splurge! I can honestly say I've never seen this variety of brownies, and Brou'ne had definitely elevated this humble treat to something with much more complex flavors and textures than I'd ever expect out of this staple item from the baked goods category. They have a Thanksgiving menu that I'm going to take a look at, but what I'm really interested in is that they ship nationwide. I'm looking forward to taking a look at that menu to see what items I might be able to send to my mom for Christmas and/or her December birthday. In addition to their signature sweet, they have cookies and cake slices in the cooler. They also have coffee and tea on the menu, and I also picked up a bag of sea salt caramels that were to die for. I've already told others about the place even though it was just last night that I stopped in; I'll be back again, 100%. And maybe I'll bring a friend.

    Great coffee. Amazing sweets!! Ordered a butterscotch + chocolate desert and chocolate + pistachio filled. Hidden gem and a great spot to visit before catching a movie at Music Box. The owner/baker is super nice too.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, especially when the folks running the establishment seem to be such kind people. Unfortunately, the sweet treats at Brou'ne don't really stack up in a city filled with really great options. My wife and I tried two different brownies, and while the concepts were unique and interesting, the execution left little to be desired. The texture of the brownies was all wrong, despite some fairly good flavor. Gummy would be the only way to describe them. The Merry cookie, pictured below, looked like the right choice. But, when I tried it later that evening, the cookie itself had almost no flavor, just a pasty mound of unseasoned cookie dough. The pretzels were stale, leading me to believe this may have been sitting in that window for several days. I actually went in looking to try their heralded ube cheesecake, one of my favorite flavors. But there were only two sad looking slices in the refrigerator, and for nearly $10 a pop I passed. A surprise was that they had a few pints left in the freezer from Sundae Stop, which closed nearly 2.5 months ago. Ice cream keeps, but $12 for pints that old is pretty steep. A lot of promise, but sadly a place that is far past its prime (the storefront opened recently, but they've been in operate more than a decade).

    Brownie lovers, this is the spot for you. Brou'ne Desserts recently opened in the Southport Corridor neighborhood and has made a name for themselves with their expansive selections of brownie, blondie, and cookie flavors. These are brownies unlike anything I've seen (or tasted!) before. Every single flavor was great, but my favorites was the gourmet cosmic brownie (warning, won't be able to enjoy a cosmic brownie after trying this masterpiece) and the biscoff cookie brownie, which is a brownie with cookie butter and marshmallow topped with a biscoff cookie. I know it sounds extra, but that's because it is. Brownie, cookie butter, and marshmallow = perfection. It's simple math. Brou'ne Desserts also offers ice cream sandwich cookies and Brou'ne Freezes which look to be their take on a gourmet shake. They open around 10am and serve coffee and lattes in the morning too. There is also a small patio right out on Southport to enjoy your sweet treats. It appears to be a family owned and run business, so supporting them is an easy choice. I cannot emphasize enough how unique and creative the brownie flavors are. There is sure to be something for everyone!

    Unreal! I was SO excited when this shop came in below my previous apartment. I stopped in a couple of times to grab a fun dessert - they are never short in supply of those! I really have loved everything I've tried. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and they love talking through the variety of desserts they have. Can't wait to go back!

It's located opposite of the cash register and menu. Service was friendly. Washroom (restroom, bathroom search terms) available. Decent amount of seating, serving as a solid space to study or get work done. Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong with their regular matcha in the future.

    I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

The taiwanese style popcorn chicken and pork cutlet were super juicy and tender with nicely crisp breading. The sausage had a pleasant sweetness to it and was served with garlic chips, which added a nice touch. Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings

One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out to me. For the price, I felt it was a little pricey compared to Taipei Cafe, and the overall experience did not feel worth it. Overall, the food was just alright, the service could be improved, and the pay-first system was not something I liked. I don't think I would come back.

    Are you guys ready for this review??…read more So my partner decided we are going to china town for lunch with his mom and sister. Family day in the city, DURING A SNOWSTORM!! We arrive, place is closed, will open in 10 mins. Perfect, we go to a near by shop and I spot some demon hunter Stanley cups!! I get them of course! We head to lunch, everything is great! As we are heading out, my partners sister spots Te'amo! I ask if she's ever had mochi donuts. She hasn't, so of course we must stop in because everyone needs to try them at least once!!! We order at the kiask and patiently wait for our order. We get our order and leave....leaving the bag with the Stanley's behind!!! We don't realize this until we are home (45 mins away)! I immediately call, no answer, call again, no answer. I decide to DM their instagram page and guess what??? THEY HAD THE CUPS!!! Here I was thinking $150 in cups were gone. But they had them!!! A miracle!! 10/10 stars!! Anyway! I highly recommend the brûlée ube milk tea and the ube mochi donuts!!
