Was craving chocolate + strawberries, so I stopped into Drip. It is part of a food court type of thing, so not a place I would necessarily stay and eat at. I took the dessert to go, and would continue to do that should I return. The staff didn't seem particularly happy to be there. It took them about 5 minutes to address me even though I was the only customer, which was a bit odd. Once I placed my order, my strawberries were freshly sliced which was nice. I got the chocolate strawberries with half milk and half dark chocolate. The dark chocolate didn't have much flavor, so I would stick with the milk chocolate next time. I will say, the dessert hit the spot, but it was quite pricey for what it was. Something to consider for next time. read more

Checked out Drip Dessert Lounge, and it was a cool experience! The highlight here is definitely the customizable cheesecake, where you can coat it with your choice of sauce and toppings--such a fun and interactive touch. The ambience is just okay--it's more of a casual, drop-in spot rather than a sit-and-stay-for-hours kind of place. But the desserts were good, and if you're craving a sweet treat with a bit of creativity, it's definitely worth a visit! Wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for it, but it's a great option for a fun, customizable dessert fix! read more

DRIP's Build Your Own Waffle is SO good. I'm obsessed and still thinking about it. The waffle was fluffy and had a nice buttermilk flavor. Crispy on the outside too! For $15 after tax for two people to share one of these phenomenal waffles is a steal. The dessert spot shares the dining room with 2 other restaurants, SALT burger and IDOF. The tables are a bit sticky and dirty, so I just cleaned it myself before sitting down. Regardless of that one complaint, my friends and I had a wonderful dessert hour together over yummy waffles. Will be walking over for waffles more often! read more

My boyfriend and I have the biggest sweet tooths and we tried this spot on a whim. The actual place is a combination of the Drip Dessert Lounge on one end and a falafel 'chipotle' variation on the other end. At first, it's a little confusing because the all the decor is for the falafel place. But Drip is such a great spot to get a treat. You can build your own waffle or you can order one that's on the menu. They have ice cream, waffles, and churros. It is a little pricey if you are adding lots of toppings but I would come back just for the waffles and ice cream. It does take a few minutes for the staff to make your desert. The waffles are made right then and there so it comes out hot. Presentation and the actual desert was amazing. I would definitely recommend their Biscoff waffle and ice cream because my boyfriend got it and I wish that I got that instead. read more

Instagram brought us here for a very sugary and rich after school treat for my tween and teen. Tip-Do not go here if in a hurry. It is by no means fast and we waited a good 15-20 minutes for our order. Drip shares a space with a fast food falafel place and has replaced the papa beards that used to be there. Not the cutest atmosphere but the desserts are instagram worthy and did not disappoint. My daughter ordered a cup of chocolate covered strawberries and my son ordered one of their dessert waffles which could easily have been shared by 4 people . They loved it ( what's not to love ?) I'd recommend this place for the occasional splurge or special occasion read more

So I got cappuccino cheesecake with dark chocolate dip, Oreo ice cream, and brownie bits. It was good! I think the concept is nearly there but not quite. What didn't work for me was the dip. It was fine in theory, but became really hard to eat with a fork. The taste was uneven. I would much prefer a frozen dipped cheesecake similar to what Eli's does at taste of Chicago. The person working behind the counter was excellent and really took time and care to prepare the dish. It was also quick for me as I got my food within 5 minutes. The ice cream was also unexpected but not mind blowing. I think the quality of ingredients and the construction could be improved but this place is definitely worth stopping by! read more

Drip is located in a food court. When we walked up to order there were three workers but none asked how they can take our order. Once we were finally helped the person freshly chopped our strawberries and poured both the milk and dark chocolate we asked for. The dark chocolate had no flavor but the milk chocolate did make up for it. For the price and the flavor I'm unsure if I would go back. read more

My favorite dessert spot! Seriously the best waffle I've had in a long time and the toppings just made it extra tasty. I ordered a chocolate milk shake, waffle with white chocolate chips and Oreo. The chocolate covered strawberries were incredible. I can't wait to order those again! The ice cream was really good here too, mine came with chocolate. read more

We hired Drip for their live station service for my daughter's 16th birthday party, and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Our party ran from 6-9 PM, and the ice cream station was scheduled to arrive at 7:45. At 2 PM (while we were in the middle of party setup), an email was sent saying they needed to push back by an hour. There was no follow-up phone call when we didn't respond, so we didn't see the email until much later. On top of that, there was an unexpected thunderstorm that forced us to move the entire party indoors, which made it even harder to check email. By 8 PM, when we realized they hadn't arrived, we called and were told they were pushing our time back. Since the girls were leaving at 9 PM, we had no flexibility left and had to cancel last minute.... I ended up scrambling to Dairy Queen for an ice cream cake so we'd have something to celebrate with. What was most disappointing was that the owner was unapologetic, blamed the delay on the storm (though the original delay notice was sent hours before the storm), and we were not refunded our deposit, leaving us out of pocket for something we never received. This was actually the second scheduling issue we had with Drip (our order was initially double-booked even after we paid the deposit), which makes me think this was another case of overbooking. I typically only write reviews when I have something positive to share, but I do feel it's important for others booking Drip's live stations to know what happened so they don't end up in the same situation.... especially for a time-sensitive event. read more

I went to Drip for my first time last night and it was really good. I ordered the milk chocolate strawberries and the waffle bites with strawberry ice cream and m&ms. I will say it took quite some time for our food to come out but my boyfriend and I both agreed, it was worth it for sure. It shares a dining section with another food spot which was a little different but caused no issue whatsoever. If you are a dessert fan, I definitely recommend Drip! read more

Had a craving some dessert after dinner. Found this spot that seemed to be relatively new. We thought we could Uber over and have our driver wait but that wasn't possible. If you go expect to wait for a while. Everything is made to order and there is probably always a line. We waited in line and for our food for about 20 minutes. It was worth it though. You could create your own or get the pre determined ones on the list. Decent ingredients available. I do wish there were more fruit options. I think there was only strawberries. There are a few tables and a longer table to be more family style. A lot of people ate inside and other to go. It looks like they share space with another place so be mindful of that and seating. This is great little place to go. It's Chicago so parking is always dumb. read more

This place was a dream! We talked about it and dreamed about the waffle even the next morning. They're open late and even with a line we were able to get our food within about 20 minutes or less. Everything came out incredibly, despite being busy! That's a great sign of a restaurant, if they're busy and still turn out great looking food. I'd come back here again and again! read more

This place kept popping up on Instagram, so I had to check it out. Place was OK, we had the dripped strawberries and the the sundae with two options. A good number of my strawberries were hard, so that was disappointing. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to come across as a bad customer. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. I would tey it again. read more

This place is AMAZING. Had dinner down the street with no good dessert options - what to do? Google!

Listen to your mom: Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Belly!! I'm a dessert fanatic, so this place looked so intriguing and fun! Please split if you're going with a friend; I was stubborn and wanted my own. These are huge and worth the price if you share. The waffle is better than normal waffles. How? Not sure. It wasn't too heavy on the sugar and it was super fluffy. It held up the ice cream well and tasted nostalgic. You can choose three toppings and one dip - the options are limitless. The waffle wizards working were wonderful. It was nice to ask advice and not feel rushed because it was overwhelming at first! Enjoy a decadent and enjoyable experience - but don't be a hero and try to eat one by yourself. read more

I had 30 mins left on my parking so I decided to go to a nearby dessert place for some ice cream. I had to add 10 more minutes to my parking... There was only three people working. No hustling. Just putting the stuff together at a calm pace. It took a few mins for someone to come and take my order, and it took about 15-20 mins before we got one of the three items we ordered. There was a whole group waiting for their shakes before us too. And I assume some customers were dining in and waiting for their desserts as well. It was like one guy worked on the to-go orders and the other two worked on the dine-in orders. The ice creams and shake were delicious though. I'll give them that. The waffle was freshly made so that's nice. We got our things to-go and it was put into cardboard boxes with a liner at the bottom. This wasn't ideal when the ice cream was melting and dripping out of the box. The shake, while delicious, was very small for something that costs $10 before tax. So if you want to make your money worth it, don't get the shakes. Drip just has a little section at the front to make their food. I think the main shop sells falafels since the decor is all about the falafels. Or it's just a shared space for the both of them. I'm not entirely sure. read more

YOU NEED DESSERT AND YOU NEED IT FROM DRIP!! I cannot stop raving about how beautiful and delicious the desserts were. Zaighm (Z for short), is a lovely, friendly and creative dessert ARTIST! I got the DRIP Special, and my boyfriend got a create your own with churros (fried right there)--vanilla ice cream, Biscoff drizzle, whipped cream, and Oreo and Biscoff cookie pieces. I tell you, this place is your next dessert spot! DRIP is our future MUST GO TO spot, hands down! The DRIP Special was made of a very large, freshly cooked waffle, vanilla ice cream, Nutella drizzle, and Ferrero Rocher pieces. Out. Of. This. World.

My boyfriend and I came here after a night out- we almost missed it. It's merged with a falafel business . The place was done nicely, but it wasn't the cleanest. Whoever is responsible for wiping down tables and booths must've been off, because the tables were dirty. However - the food was really good. My boyfriend ( the risk taker) ordered the Belgian waffle with vanilla bean ice cream, white mocha dip , sprinkles , & graham crackers I ordered the waffle with vanilla bean ice cream , strawberries , blueberries , and peanuts . Both were AMAZING. Highly recommend. We'll be back. read more

The chocolate cake wasn't spectacular - small and same quality as Jewel Osco bakery cakes, and it's completely overpriced for what it was.

Located off Red Line train, this newly opened seven week old shop serves milk shakes and marketing gourmet desserts. As a small minority owned business, the owners came from Pakistan in 2004. Living the American dream they finally start a few businesses. This dessert lounge is one of them. They are still revamping their business model but eventually they want to create a safe fun place to relax after lunch or dinner. The servers did not have masks nor require vaccination cards. I just came from the Blue Man Group and I wanted something sweet. I was looking for Beard Papas but it was consolidated to the North Avenue location. I was pleasantly surprised. The owner was very nice and generous. read more

Came here after a play with a couple of friends on a Saturday night. When we walked in, we were pleasantly assaulted by the scent of sugar and waffles in the air. 10/10 smell to walk into. The place was busy and brightly lit. There is an exhaustive menu with limitless options- first you choose a waffle, dough cone (I'm not calling it the right thing, but that's essentially what it is), churro bites, milkshake, or another cake/pie slice. Then you have endless customizations- pick the toppings, pick the type of ice cream, pick what KIND of chocolate drizzle! They are not lacking in any of these. The three of us chose a molten lava cake, churro bites, and a milkshake. So between the three of us, we had the calories for about 10 people's full day of meals. But it was worth it! The churro bites were my favorite. Aside from the cakes, everything is made to order so it takes some time when they are busy. My milkshake was also delicious. Everything is priced at $10 and up, but they don't nickel and dime you once you pay the entry price to whatever you're getting. They include a generous amount of toppings without extra charge. My milkshake, which was two kinds of oreo, was $12 for about 16 oz. A bit steep. Overall 4 stars because it's definitely slow- it took about 20 mins to get all of our things- and for the value. They kinda have everything the same price, even though some things are much more elaborate than others. So if you get something not completely over-the-top (like a milkshake or lava cake), you're probably not getting a great deal. Even a waffle with the ice cream is steep at $12. It's still a waffle with a bit of ice cream and some oreos on top. A nice place to stop in for dessert but I probably wouldn't come too late at night when they get busier and slow down even more. read more

I love my deserts, so when I had a customised waffle with vanilla ice cream and some Nutella pistachio drizzle it was all what I wanted. It has so many options to customise and many flavours.

When the plate came out it was so beautiful I didnt want to cut into it but it was so worth it. The waffle with the ice cream and our toppings was phenomenal!

Found Drip here on Yelp as we were looking for an ice cream place to try out. We went right before closing time. Very impressed with their selections. I had the waffle with berries off their menu. I think it was called drop/drip it likes it's hot. I added a scoop of strawberry ice cream to it. Very fresh berries; It was delicious!! We also tried the waffle with the coffee ice cream. Also very good. Very filling as it's a decent size. Good for two. It was also a very cute location. The location was combined with a falafel cafe/restaurant type place in the back and Drip was in front area. Smart concept. Although, we didn't get to try that as they were already closing. We seemed to get there at a good time as shortly after we arrived it got pretty busy with a large group of people that came in. read more

I have been wanting to try this place because of the strawberries and the chocolate I was a little confused as I was walking in because it looked like multiple places were together anyways I found my way in and I was just stunned that salt burger and.

I just fell in love with IDOF recently and I love salt burger I was so impressed with the goodness of food I wanted everything But as far as the strawberries and chocolate. It was so yummy I loved the chocolate it was warm at first and didn't harden too much it was perfect my boyfriend got the orea ice cream with small cut up churro pieces and omg. It was delicious. Literally perfect. Thank you for making a place with all my favorites I'll definitely be back the young guy who helped us was great and not greedy. read more

Drip - Dessert Lounge - Dipped Strawberries Cup& churros with Oreo ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Unfortunately, Chicago lacks a bit in good and fun ice cream places. However, Drip Dessert Lounge is one of those places that you can go for for some amazing ice cream creations. This is not a place to get ice cream in a bowl or in a regular cone. I don't think that this place makes their own ice or boasts varieties like vegan or gluten free. However, that's not what makes this place great or why you would come here. You come here to get some cool and fun ice cream creations. The time I went I tried their chimney cone, dipped cheese cake with pistachio ice cream and an ice cream sundae on a waffle called the berried treasure. I most enjoyed the berried treasure. It's one of many of their waffle based sundaes. The waffle was nice and soft and I loved the topping and how the ice cream would melt into the waffle. This was very sweet and sugary. If you like desserts or sweets that are not too sweet, this not the place for you. In all, this is a must visit if you like sweet treats. read more
