    Gimme Smore

    Such a fun concept to create your own dessert taco!! I tried the S'mores option, staff was very kind and patient with recommendations. Attached to a restaurant, they will recommend you only sit inside their small ordering space, so do plan to take your dessert to go!

    A spectacular place to grab dessert from ice cream to cookies right across from the Mariott Hotel. We came here to get the infamous dessert tacos. There were a few others in the small space with us, but we didn't have to wait too long. I created my own taco with strawberry ice cream, Oreo crumbs, gummies, and sprinkles. We also got the Dubai dessert taco and a chocolate chip cookie. The dessert tacos are huge and stuffed with ice cream. The ice cream was smooth and creamy, but the gummies froze up and were hard to eat. The workers were nice and I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

    Such a fun twist on dessert. The dessert tacos were delicious. Cookies were pretty good too.

    Ye Olde Ice Cream Cone was invented in 1896; hardly a new invention. Don't get me wrong, forming it into a taco shape gets some creativity points, but I don't see it as groundbreaking. Wanting something sweet and cold to end the night, I found this place on Yelp (surprise, surprise) and stopped in. I went for a Caramelo Anthony, because heaven knows I have a weakness for salted caramel. What did this end up being? The aforementioned taco-shaped cone with one side lightly coated in white chocolate, salted caramel gelato, a couple chocolate-covered pretzels, a singular Rolo piece, and some whipped cream. All this for ~$14, which wasn't specified on the menu, by the way. While I did like the Salted Caramel gelato, plus the uniqueness points. However, the value proposition is still not there for me. Thus, we are left with a solid dessert, but it still an overpriced gelato is a someone unusual vessel. I'm glad I went, but I do not see myself aching to return, especially with the many great ice cream & gelato spots in Chicago.

    We were eating at Parlor Pizza and noticed they also had a dessert restaurant serving fun waffle taco sundaes. We got the Cookie Monster which looked impressive when it arrived my kids were thrilled. We shared it as a family and while it was satisfying for an after dinner treat, it wasn't something I would go out of my way for. But you're eating at Parlor already I would definitely stay for dessert.

    Friendly and quick staff. They offer cookies, ice cream tacos and single scoop ice cream. Just a small room connected to a larger restaurant. But worth trying.

    Fried Gelato and Gimme S'more taco
    Vincent Y.

    Had the Fried Gelato and Gimme S'more since I was craving something sweet and these were very satisfying. The choco-taco smore was filled with oreo ice cream and hershey chunks and was really rich and refreshing. The Fried Gelato had a nice cinnamon flavor and the gelato inside was revitalizing.

    Known for their TACOlato, very fun way to enjoy a gelato treat! Got the one loaded with cookies and cream and the creation was very fun to eat! Well worth a try! Maybe grab a pizza on the way in or out since it is also inside Pizza Parlor. Service was quick and the place was a bit dark at night but still manageable. Good music and vibes.

    Ambiance was a little weird- very dark. The gelato didn't have a ton of flavor. Like the idea though! The people were nice.

    Hidden inside Parlour Pizza, wonderful deserts, "taco style". Portions are very big and you'll likely have a treat to take with you.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the selection, and the freshness of the donuts left something to be desired. The presentation also took away from the experience. Seeing donuts sitting exposed in boxes where customers can easily view them isn't particularly appealing and doesn't create the freshest visual impression. I tried the maple pecan glazed donut, which was overwhelmingly sweet. Even after just one bite, the intense sugar rush was immediate and overpowering, making it difficult to enjoy the other flavors. The vanilla donut was the better of the two--pleasantly doughy, though it still lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, this was an average experience. The donuts were serviceable, but neither the selection, presentation, nor freshness gave me much reason to return.

(The fact that the joint's been around for over 100 years doesn't hurt either.) It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

And honestly, I think a stop here for all future visits to Wicker Park now rely on this condition being met! While the baked goods are where it is at, the smell alone was worth selling itself. After we got a few whiffs, we made out way to the counter and did the ole "Ill take that, and this, oh and that too..." and ended up with a wide variety of cookies, tarts, danishes and cakes. All of which were absolutely delightful! Out of our haul, the peanut butter cookie was the highlight for me, and the raspberry crumble bar was it for my partner. Everything in between was delish, but a few things definitely stood out! Service was stellar from entry to exit. They knew we were newbies, so they helped us pick the best of the best. The space is gorgeous, bright, welcoming and classic. They definitely let the baked goods be just as much a part of the decor as the actual artwork. Overall, I get it now...Mindy's was impressive in all the right ways and is certainly a staple for all Chicago trips in the future!

Both Bialays are a perfect savory treat!  I can't wait to come back and try more of the baked goods, especially the coffee cakes.
