    Ice Cream on a Brownie
    Gauri S.

    My go to place for cookies and Cookie'wich's! Love their cookies and brownies with ice cream. It's a small cookie shop, usually busy during the weekends. Most suitable for ordering in or pick and go. There's not much to say about the service as it's pretty much a grab and go experience. Perfect for a cozy movie night at home!

    It's insane that there is an insomnia cookies located in South Loop now for all that late night goers who may be heading home from their adventures. My friend and I were on our way back from Old Town and decided to hit up this new location. Our detour took us down Wabash and finally to the storefront, where we saw the massive line of cookie munchers at a little past midnight. Being plant based, we went for the three vegan cookie options: Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip, and Double Chocolate Chip. For a half-dozen ($8), we managed to get two of each in order for both of us try them. My favorite here was definitely the Birthday Cake. It hit the spot on a late Saturday night for sure. Most other cookie shops with vegan options tend to just have chocolate chip, so I loved that we can add the funfetti to my cookie this time around. Definitely a good choice!

    Cookie'wich

    I cannot resist ice and cookies, but together they're definitely a dream come true & insomnia cookie does it right! It's a small little joint, but the staff at this location are SO friendly. I decided to switch up one of my ice cream flavors in my cookie'wich last minute and the staff member was super nice about it & made our cookie'wiches quickly. It's a bit pricey, but I wasn't able to eat the whole thing in one sitting (two cookies w/ two scoops of ice cream) and it stayed yummy in the freezer when I ate it the next day. Highly recommend if you need to satisfy your late night sweet cravings!

    I can definitely recommend the oatmeal raisin cookies. They were warm and delicious. These oatmeal raisin cookies will keep you coming back for more.

    NOT open late - someone held the door to prevent us from getting in way before the 3am cutoff. Change your hours if you don't plan to serve.

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.

The brown sugar boba milk tea, make sure you secure the top and flip it over to mix it together well, otherwise the flavor is lost. They gave us a sample of matcha ice cream and that was delicious I must say. Many wonderful treats I noticed and a busy place. Well done! You can find it inside the West Entrance. In front of Lao Szchesuan . Across from Chinatown's Walgreens on Cermak & Archer Avenue . Enjoy !

    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.

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

The tables have little drawers with napkins and flatware like some Korean places do as a nice surprise... also the QR code menu on it. Food is Asian fusion and primarily Taiwanese I guess so it was different but familiar and I got a Hotpot to appease my disappointed shabu craving... pals like their dishes as well... drinks were pretty cute - especially the chocolate sugar bear. Good place to hit ii Chinatown next time youre down there.

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!!
