We had a toddler date with a friend and her son here at the cafe at the Peninsula. They had some…read morelimited-time St. Patrick's Day specials that caught my friend's eye, including the Pot of Gold, a special dessert only available for the weekend. The food was really excellent, as was the service. But it was ridiculously priced. The reuben sandwich was $28. It was a great sandwich, very lean, but you could get a sandwich as good for half the cost elsewhere. They only have a couple of kid's items, but my friend requested buttered noodles for her kid rather than the cheesy noodles. I got the hibiscus drink and lavender lemonade, both non-alcoholic, and they were very good. My little one especially liked the hibiscus. And we ordered the appetizer of whipped ricotta and honey; my daughter liked this more than anything else we ordered. We didn't have dessert at the restaurant, but ordered to go. The pot of gold was really good. There were little "gold nuggets" on it and that was my daughter's favorite part; good thing since I didn't realize it had a layer with Bailey's in it. It was very rich, and the cauldron was really thick chocolate (and actually was a struggle to get into, a bit!). The restaurant is small but it didn't feel crowded. We never felt rushed or unwelcome, and we were there for a couple hours (longer than I realized; it took an unusually long time to make two reuben sandwiches). Their pastries are really nice but somewhat expensive, like the rest of the menu. It was a nice, sophisticated experience.

The drinks came out fairly quickly even though the place was busy near closing. There are some seats inside if you do want to sit, but there's not a ton of space. For the drinks, I really liked the Thai tea latte. You can't adjust the sugar but it wasn't that sweet to me and it was soo good. The flavor was really strong. The mango lemonade was also really good! The lemonade made it nice and tart, but it was still at a good sweetness level. I would definitely love to come back and try it again if I'm in Chicago :)

Not based on quality of tea leaves or anything, but just cuz…read moreeven the 100% sweet was the perfect amount, in addition to their super unique milk mochi topping. It felt a bit like pudding but more creamy, a bit like burrata texture?? Absolutely obsessed, and most boba stores don't have this topping as an option. It was holiday season, so you could add a $1 to get it served in an adorable gingerbread bottle. We got to pick our own mini crochet hat and scarf!! The drink came out very quickly and you order from a tablet. Perfect for pictures inside, the decor was so cute!

Echoing other reviews, a bit pricier for the size that you get. Quick service and clean. They have WiFi but you'll need to ask them for the password. Cute and simple space with 3 tables of 2 chairs each and a long table by the window with 4 stools. There is an outlet by the first table They do not have public bathrooms. So if you're looking to study, I'd recommend a different place. Otherwise, this is an ideal for a quick stop.

Their boba is consistently cooked nicely so that's definitely a plus. Popcorn chicken is also good although not authentically Taiwanese style, but still tasty (I get them with the sour plum flavor and spicy). Inside has a small seating area. Their operating hour is quite short, I wish they would open earlier or later! Their menu is also not as full as the location in Chinatown, much limited options at this location (both drinks and snacks).
