    Arabian chocolate cake
    Kenyata F.

    Order a shot of espresso it was perfect and nice and hot. Biscoff tres leches cake. Good taste and moisture. It needed to get to room temp for a few minutes after coming out of the fridge area. It was around 6 bucks and delicious. My bestie ordered Arabian chocolate cake it was priced at 13 or 16 dollars.... Make with Nutella, chocolate, kunaffeh, etc. was dry and tasteless cold. Let this dessert adjust to a warmer temp as you can them taste the flavors and crunch. The Nutella didn't give me a hazelnut flavor at all but more chocolate. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order this again. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. Plenty of seats and nice decor to chill for a minute. The menu options were great in my opinion because they had great coffee options including bustello, drip espresso, Turkish coffee which is extra strong, and other selections. I couldn't tell if they served matcha but to have shakes, lattes, and teas was enough. Metered Street parking. Courteous staff some more attentive to their phones than customers but hey young people gotta learn.

    The ambiance is really pretty, I must have arrived once a group of kids left. It was a bit messy at some of the tables; but I was able to find seating in a cute spot by the grass walls. I was hoping to get a specific drink like a hot chai latte or a matcha latte with sugar free vanilla syrup. Unfortunately, they don't know how to make a chai latte nor did they have sugar free vanilla. So not your typical cafe. I ordered their banana pudding, it's the perfect size for a nice sweet treat.

    Upon arrival, isn't it so cute!

    Ok yall let's talk about ambiance today. It's been a while since I've been to a brunch with females I'd call friends, and this particular day of visit I felt an inviting pull to stop into this quaint shop near the 57th street beach. Upon arrival, I gushed at the pink paint and faux grass covered walls and immediately took some much needed selfies. TikTok had a nice little template for my swagger in this unique and pretty dessert place. I get to the menu after finally putting down my IPhone and ordered a matcha. The matcha drink is not good at all. Love, Sandra Coin of #sandracoinent from LinkedIn.

    Very cute dessert spot! They have multiple flavors of tres leches cake. I had the original and it was amazing!

    We came here on a work at home lunch break for gelato to eat later. We dropped some food off at the Love Fridge along Hyde Park Blvd near 52nd street.(https://www.thelovefridge.com/) We are usu only in this area to go to Sip and Savor across the street, but Sweet Drip opens at 9. We also tell ourselves we don't go here to save our waistline and wallet! Anyway, we entered the cafe around 1pm on a Thursday. No customers were around, just staff. I did not realize until I saw the staff, Turkish delights and baklava that the place is owned/run, I assume, by middle eastern or Mediterranean citizens. Please correct me if I am wrong! In addition to gelato and pastries and coffee, they have candy, soda, water, other little convenience items, which is a good idea. Our clerk was friendly and patient, we asked a lot of questions! He let us sample a couple of flavors too. There was an 'odd' named one I did not care for but I forgot what it was. I got the Lotus and Nutella small cup. (lotus is like Biscoff cookies and vanilla ice cream!) My other party got the lemon and pineapple. My cup was half melted by the time I walked home but I put it right in the freezer. These were SOO good! It's hard to mess up gelato, though. I'd go back for a crepe or cookies or some dessert I can share. One thing we did not care for: my party received a small upcharge for using a credit card, which she inserted at the register. I tapped my card and did not get an extra fee. They should at least list that or warn customers. I may just use cash next time I go.

    The employees are very disconnected, they don't greet the customers. When you get to the counter there's just an awkward moment where your just stared at. I asked questions and was directed out of line to speak to someone else. Then I had to get back in line and wait longer to pay, after paying I had to ask where my items were and I was directed to speak to someone else. Who ignored me and was talking to the cashier as if I wasn't standing there. Then she proceeded to call out the order after mines. She spoke past me rudely until I asked for my paid items again. Customer service doesn't match the esthetic which makes the vibe in the restaurant off. I wanted to stream with the Strawberry Dubai cup and review it on live, since I have a big following. The whole experience made me never wanna come back. It was $32 for a strawberry cup, a kids cone, and a slice of cake.

    Literally the best hidden gem ever! Cutest ambiance and SO many options for coffee, gelato, various desserts, bubble tea, and so much more! There's plenty of seating too and is such a great place to stop by at, grab a bite, and get work done. Naif was also the sweetest, very welcoming, and let us try gelato samples before ordering! I highly recommend stopping by!

    This is a cute coffee/tea shop conveniently located in Hyde Park. I was so excited to know what would now be on this block and anxiously awaited the day they opened. As you can see , walking in, the ambience is so nice. It's colorful and there is plenty of reading. This is also a nice place to come and do homework it work if you need to. There are great views of the park which is across the street and it's in walking site nice of the lake. I tried one if their famous teas and it didn't disappoint. My daughter and her friends got desserts that were very tasty! The staff were very sweet and explanatory and suggested different things to us on the menu. I'm so glad to have this new shop close to my neighborhood. Give gotta check them out!

    Stopped in here for a sweet treat with our niece after a day at the museum. Such a nice hidden gem! It was so cute on the inside, and the selection of desserts were abundant and unique. I got the peach virgin mojito and I slurped it down in under 2 minutes. It was that good. The service deserves its own shoutout as well. The two gentlemen working when we came in this Thursday evening were so kind and patient. Our niece wanted to try EVERY SINGLE ice cream flavor and the man happily obligated and made sure she liked what she picked. It was awesome. If we lived in this area I would definitely be a regular.

I don't want to claim it was all food coloring but it only taste like vanilla ice cream. It wasn't too crowded at night and was able to get my order fairly quickly. I wouldn't really say this is a good matcha spot since it doesn't seem to have any matcha flavor. I had a suspicion from the menu options that they used to be Kyomatcha (a popular matcha dessert chain) but now called Matcha En. The good reviews are probably from the days it was Kyomatcha and not the current quality.

The interior is just as cute and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly. You can even see them in the back cutting up fresh mangoes, which is always a good sign! If you love mango, this is the place for you. There's so much going on in one bowl, but somehow it all works together--the best kind of chaos! There are mini mochi, fresh-cut mango, mango ice cream, mango jelly, and the base has this unique texture somewhere between a slushie and sorbet. I got the regular size, and it was already a LOT for one person, so I'd definitely recommend sharing. One quick note: the Molly tea you see in my photos was from a shop across the street and was not part of this store. Overall, such a fun spot to check out after exploring Chinatown, especially if you're into Asian food or visiting the area for the first time. And if you're a mango lover, definitely add this to your list!

The place has a simple, minimalistic and colorful look, but there are some really fun details, like the craft tables and the whole wall of colorful beads where someone can make their own Perler crafts. It gives the place a playful little personality. The staff were super nice and gave me some really good recommendations since it was my first time there. I decided to start with the traditional Japanese cheesecake, and wow... the texture was the first thing that got me. It was incredibly soft and fluffy, almost like biting into a little cloud, but it still had enough body to feel like cheesecake. The cheese flavor was gentle and creamy instead of being super heavy or overly sweet. There was a slight tanginess that balanced everything out, and it had this light, almost airy finish that just disappeared in my mouth. But then I tried it with the ice cream together... 100% better. The cold, creamy ice cream with the warm, soft cheesecake created this really good contrast. The extra sweetness from the ice cream brought out more of the cheesecake's subtle cheese flavor without covering it up. Definitely a different kind of cheesecake, and I'm glad I tried it.

    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.
