    Posho, Capresse, and Verdeo Empanadas
    Maddie O.

    We were in the neighborhood and needed a snack to hold us over till dinner, and the empanadas were SO good. Made to order with what seemed like super fresh ingredients, and they were hot and ready within minutes. YUM

    Bad service, the empanadas were raw and cold, the cake was melted, the brownie smelled burnt, I don't recommend it

    Don't sleep on this place! Handmade empanadas are incredible. Light, fluffy and full of flavor. And the desserts are delicious!

    Excellent baked goods. A family-run business. Delicious empanadas. It is a pleasure to eat here.

    On those late days of spring -- when Chicago and the suburbs finally thaw out after months of…read morefrigid temperatures and biting precipitation -- residents emerge from their homes in search of one thing. Ice cream. After spending the day outside and then grilling out, we (obviously) needed ice cream to complete our Saturday. We popped into Scoops and Cookies because it's not far from our house and because Homer's Ice Cream is always an enticing offer. They have a *ton* of flavors. The screens above the counter showcase everything, while you can see some of the flavors in the case. We sampled a few before deciding on a scoop of cappuccino chip in a sugar cone (mine) and two scoops of butter pecan and cookie dough in a dish (his). We were helped by who we assumed to be the owner, who was friendly and also keeping things moving as groups (understandably) hemmed and hawed over their flavor choices. While we weren't here for cookies this time, they piqued our interest and we'll explore that more on our next visit. There are quite a few tables inside with lots of seating, and everything was clean. Did this just become our new favorite ice cream place? Maybe!

    I almost forgot to review this spot! Mostly because I only got cookies and I think the concept of…read morewarm cookies and cold ice cream is the point here. That and their edible cookie dough, which looked really good... next time! I got a variety of cookies and I love how they're nice and warm. The standard chocolate chip and the chocolate and toffee were my favorites from this visits flavors. The double chocolate were really one note and a bit overdone. I'd put that chocolate chip up there against any I've had though, really a perfect cookie. The girl working the counter was friendly and the place was clean inside, no complaints there. I'll definitely be back for the full experience!

    Let's start with prices. Prices are fair. The ones complaining that it's overly expensive,…read moreobviously don't know anything about the current economy. If you have common sense, you'll know that the price of everything has gone up - look at groceries and gas. Now, use that brain and look at the cost of eating out and buying boba teas. With that said, i ordered a strawberry matcha latte. It was very tasty, not too sweet. Remember people, if someone says everything is too sweet they probably didn't try out the whole menu. The croissants were delicious. I tried out mango and blueberry cream. They had just the right balance of flavor. Not sweet. Free street parking. They open later than some of the other boba places. Staff was nice, friendly, and attentive. Definitely not rude. I would disregard the 1-2 star reviews. They evidently don't know anything. If you work and can't afford a boba drink, then might as well stay home.

    There were so many choices! It was a bit overwhelming, but I went with the lychee chamomile. I…read moretasted more chamomile than lychee though. They also had an instant ramen station and pastries for anyone who is looking for a quick bite and drink. The service was pretty quick and the person working there was very nice. They were helping a customer choose between items. It's a small space, but just enough for people to come in, eat, and be on their way.

We were promptly seated at a spacious booth that was perfect for 2. They basically inherited all the furniture from the previous Marcello's restaurant. The restaurant itself was spacious with tasteful décor, although it was a bit dark. Service was very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. I ordered a Mango Lassi ($4), which was creamy and sweet with a strong mango flavor, absolutely delicious. My husband had a beer ($5). For food, we first shared an order of Garlic Naan ($5). The 5 pieces were warm and delightful. Although they were not as fluffy and were thinner than other naan we've had, they had crispy, crunchy bases and were packed with garlicky flavor in every bite, seriously addictive! Just for the Mango Lassi and Garlic Naan, I would absolutely come back. We also ordered Butter Chicken ($19) and Goat Curry ($22) to share. Since their entrées do not include rice, we also got an order of Basmati Rice ($4). The Butter Chicken was creamy and buttery, although the sauce was a bit on the sweet side. The chicken pieces were all meat and not dry. The Goat Curry was spicy but flavorful, with tender meat attached to the bones, except for one chewy piece. The portions were good, and we even had some Butter Chicken left to take home. All in all, we had a good experience and would love to come back to try more dishes. I am rounding the experience from 4.5 to 5 stars.
