    What a perfect find in the 'burbs! I was in search for Easter bread and red eggs for an Easter basket for a loved one. Before heading over I called to confirm that they carried tsoureki. I learned that the bakery is Serbian and calls calls it something different However, when it was described as the sweet yeast bread with a red egg in the middle, I knew that found it without having to travel to Greek Town. The person who answered the phone was also nice enough to tell me that they were closing at noon so I made a beeline there to ensure that I had what I needed ahead of Easter brunch.

    Mushroom onion burek and poppyseed cake.

    Got a mushroom onion burek and a slice of poppyseed cake. The burek was crispy, and extremely tasty but the poppyseed cake stole the show. I grew up hating this cake but decided to try a bite of this version. OMG! Just perfect with a tasty vanilla poppyseed filling and not too sweet. Coming back next for the crepes.

    My wife and I stopped by and ordered different little cookies and pastries. They are delicious. I really appreciate that they list all the ingredients with the names of their selection; definitely helps if anyone has any allergies. We also tried their Feta Cheese Burek and it was incredible! Not only do they bake incredible pastries but they also sell various items throughout their little shop.

    We came to TATES Old Fashioned for some Ice Cream and once we stepped in, it took us back in time…read more The whole place has that retro Americana feel. Route 66 signs, Coca-Cola decorations, black-and-white checkered floors. Felt like one of those old roadside diners from the 1950s. Honestly, the place has so much personality, not just another ice cream shop. The people working there were super friendly and nice too, which made it even better. I kept it simple and got a chocolate scoop in a waffle bowl. The ice cream was super creamy and refreshing. The chocolate flavor was rich but smooth. Classic old-school chocolate taste, deep cocoa flavor with that creamy finish that stays on your tongue after each bite. The waffle bowl added a nice crunch and that fresh waffle smell made the whole thing even better together. Simple order, but it really hit the spot. Definitely one of those places you come back to just for the vibe alone.

    I witnessed the way the owner spoke to her young employees and it was incredibly uncomfortable. She…read moreis very disrespectful and flat out rude, and overall, it was a bad experience. I came into the ice cream shop looking for a nice treat, and instead I was greeted with over priced ice cream and a rude owner mistreating her employees. Don't waste your time coming here, there are far better ice cream shops in Lagrange.

    Came here after having dinner nearby. It's a small ice cream/dessert spot. Their main offering is…read moreice cream with a small corner where they have other dessert options (e.g., chocolate). I ordered 2 scoops of strawberry pound cake and a vanilla flavor. It was served in a waffle cone, chocolate dipped bowl. The ice cream was good. The only complaint was that the store was fairly dirty and the beanie babies in the display had ice cream all over them. You could tell the kids were handling them. I don't think they'll sell with ice cream stickiness in the fur.

    Taffy grapes!!!!!! Run, don't walk, to this bakery and go get yourself a big container of taffy…read moregrapes. I'm serious. We came across their booth at the Brookfield Farmers Market on Saturday. The man (I assume the owner) was so friendly and happy, and yes, he lured us with a free sample of taffy grapes. I knew this was going to be a sale when I saw how awesome the taffy grapes looked, and then when I tried one holy cow! They tasted like a mini caramel apple with nuts, except.. not an apple, a grape. And not too much caramel. Ooooooo sooo good. Just enough sweetness. We got a big cup of grapes to share later. I couldn't resist the cute little cake pops that were made in a tiny little ice cream cone cup. I got one for my mom and she really enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back to the market to get some more taffy grapes! I can't believe I neglected to take a photo but if you go to their website their grapes on the site look just like what they sell in person. MMM!

I got: Matcha latte with brown sugar boba: 10/10 very good with fresh tapioca pearls. Blackberry sage tea with tapioca: 10/10 mild sweetness. We got their three stack tea canister with 2 types of premium oolongs and 1 green tea. As well as a sampler of their Japanese sencha. We are very excited to try these teas! We would for sure be coming back to refill these containers in the future. They have some seating space for you to go grab a drink and enjoy it in store. They have a lot of teas to choose from for every type of tea lover.

And each container has origin and expiration info, unlike what you'll find in grocery store matcha. There aren't a lot of places in the area to find a good matcha drink, much less all things you need to make it ceremonially at home. I got a matcha whisk, a whisk stand, and a bamboo scooper along with the truly excellent ceremonial grade matcha she recommended. I'll be back the next time I'm in need of a bit of self-care for another hand made drink from a tea master!
