I love that the owner is always here and she is so friendly and so kind. If you're coming here because you think you wanna get fast service, this is not the place because your drinks and your food will be made from scratch by hand with care. Everything is very thoughtfully put together and truly reflects the menu from the kiosk when you put your order in. But I love about this kiosk. Also is that they do not ask you for tip in fact there was also no tip jar. You must stop by here if you haven't already just for the absolute cuteness of the place and the kindness of the owner and how good everything here tastes!!!!

Mix it with a dollop of ice cream, some mango, and crunchy frosted flakes and it hits the shaved ice spot on a warm summer day.

We recently stepped into the newly updated UYUHAUS ice cream and bubble tea shop and had the…read moreopportunity to bring the whole family to try a little bit of everything--where do I even begin? This place was such an experience from start to finish. One of our favorite surprises was the self-serve ramen bar. It was quick, easy, and so much fun! They had a great variety of ramen options, making it easy for everyone to pick exactly what they wanted. We also couldn't resist trying the affogato, which was the perfect little treat. For dessert, we tried both the Misugaru Bingsoo and the Strawberry Ube Bingsoo. I absolutely loved that you can customize your bingsoo with any of their homemade ice cream flavors, and you can even choose between a cup or a bowl. The bingsoo is made with incredibly creamy shaved milk ice, topped with generous scoops of their homemade ice cream and delicious toppings. It was light, fluffy, creamy, and so refreshing. And the ube croffle...I'm still dreaming about it! It was soft, buttery, and crispy all at the same time. It reminded me of a funnel cake topped with ice cream--but somehow even better. It came with the biggest scoop of ice cream, and one thing we noticed throughout our visit was how generous every scoop was. The Asian-inspired ice cream flavors are unlike anything we've had before. Every flavor we tried was rich, creamy, and left us wanting another bite. Our kids absolutely devoured the Oreo ice cream and kept asking for more. This was the perfect family outing. There truly is something for everyone here, whether you're craving ramen, bubble tea, bingsoo, croffles, affogato, or unique homemade ice cream. Next time, I can't wait to try their bubble tea and bring home a few pints of ice cream to enjoy later. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, especially to our kids, which made the whole experience even more memorable. We felt so comfortable from the moment we walked in. We'll definitely be back again. Thank you so much for having us!! (I didn't get a chance to take more pictures as our family completely devoured everything so quickly!)

First impression? Cute, colorful, and lively! The bright colors of the shop instantly give you…read morethose good-vibes-only feelings. It's a fun spot for boba, ramen, and a little sweet treat! We ordered the Matcha Brown Sugar Latte and Mango Bingsoo topped with Alphonso mango ice cream. The Brown Sugar Matcha Latte was really good, especially if you're someone who loves a strong matcha flavor. The matcha definitely comes through, which I appreciate! The boba, though, was a little disappointing for me. The pearls were on the tougher side and almost tasted like they weren't fully cooked. Next up, the Mango Bingsoo. I liked the texture of the vanilla shaved ice--it was light, soft, and melted nicely. The toppings included fresh mango, mochi bites, and corn flakes, plus that Alphonso mango ice cream on top. While it was good overall, I was hoping for a much stronger mango flavor. With "mango" being the star of the dessert, I wanted that fruity flavor to really stand out.

This was a very cute shop. It's small, but moves relatively quickly--I came on a day when the crew…read morewas lighter and more green (per their sign on the door), and it moved along just fine. I'd heard good things about the place and knew that this is the place where Triple Scooped (in Park Ridge) gets their ice cream, so wanted to try it out. I actually think that Triple Scooped tends to have a better selection of ice creams--or rather, a larger variety to choose from when I've been there. But they have flavors at Cap's that I've never seen at another shop. They had a flavor called melted butter fudge that was really excellent! They apparently close for the season, in October, so my next visit won't be until spring. There's a little park next to the building that provides the perfect space to eat your ice cream. I'm not sure if it's accessible--there are several steps, and it may simply be that I missed seeing the ramp. There's some parking along Pine here, and perhaps other streets in the area.

Upstairs there are additional seats as well as some tables outside to enjoy at. They had a variety of flavors and some very unique! They let you sample before purchase and offer single or double scoops via cup or cone. I got the single scoop of Sea Salt Caramel with Pretzels but also tried the Cardamom Orange Graham Cracker. The ice cream was so good and rich in flavor. My friend also got a double scoop and thoroughly enjoyed hers. Pricing was fair for the freshness and quality. I loved this shop and would certainly come back!

The Dead Kennedys had a song about this place:…read more "Too young! Too young to f***" I walked into Daisy's, looked behind the counter, and immediately felt like Chris Hansen was going to rappel through the ceiling. The P.O.A. Index wasn't merely unavailable, it had been confiscated by the State of Illinois, sealed in an evidence bag, and transported somewhere my lawyer strongly advised me not to follow. Everyone working there looked so young that instead of wondering whether anyone was attractive, I started wondering when everyone's mother was coming to pick them up. One girl asked what flavor I wanted and I nearly replied, "Whatever people ate before you were born." This wasn't an ice cream run anymore. This was a mortality check. I entered Daisy's as a reasonably youthful man looking for dessert and walked out mentally pricing burial plots and wondering whether Costco sells Metamucil by the pallet. Fortunately, the ice cream was excellent... except for the non-sensical names. Besides the one labeled "smores" it was like trying to decide the enigma machine from WWII. If one can decipher the flavors... the ice cream is rich, creamy, enormous portions, exactly the kind of old-school neighborhood ice cream that makes you temporarily forget you've apparently become old enough to have employees serving you who don't remember a world before smartphones. Five stars... begrudgingly. I went in wanting a cone. I came out eligible for a reverse mortgage.

I always regret not picking up more snacks to bring back, but after a few days it goes stale. Still yummy, but never as much as day one! My favorite are the pillowy yeast breads filled with chocolate pudding. If I could allow it, I'd eat ten. Also some baked apple bread with cooked apple slices is one to watch out for. Sooo good. I love the self-serve setup. Take a tray, grab some clean tongs and take whatever your heart and stomach desires. The cashiers are all very kind and move fast. They also package up delicate items safely, like those cake slices in the cool case that you didn't know you needed. I wish I lived closer!

I am indifferent to it but I am not opposed to trying the other savory items. We have gone on different days and times over the years. The shelves are almost always well-stocked. Sometimes we would have a brief wait for them to replenish the raisin bread loaves but it is the mister's favorite so it is worth it. The bakery staff are very friendly and quick so the lines are kept moving.
