And when you get back to the United States and want to make an espresso or cappuccino, it's hard to acheive that same flavor. Sure, you can buy Lavazza and Illy. The flavor it is close, but still not the same. After too many years, we finally learned of La Capannina coffee! This coffee makes the quintessential espresso and cappuccino you have been hoping for! The flavor is amazing! The crema it produces is dark and tight, and a thing of beauty to behold in your cup. Buy it, and be prepared to meet your new love!

But I found this little gem and wished I would have had dinner here. It's a little authentic central Asian food spot. With very rare to find products like Soljanka Goulash or Pirojki.

I ended up with a flaky layer of (kind of) filo dough a cake that we often had in Germany and it was really good I will come back to Shirin for more when I am in Chicago and you should just try it out and find some new favorites:)

Neighborhood locals will tell you it's because it's the only ice cream near the area, but I beg to differ. I don't think I've had smoother and more silky ice cream in my life to date. For the price and the quality, I was really astonished. A variety and plethora of options including HUGE house made ice cream sandwiches. I enjoyed their brownie razzle, very tasty! Be (mentally) prepared to be surrounded by high schoolers for several minutes-very well worth it in the long run!

I really liked the assortment of cakes, pies, cookies and more available and will certainly be back again.. and again. A suggestion: While I was intrigued by the sandwich board I had no way to know what the sandwich would look like. Bread? pandora? Ciabatta? 6", 8", 10", 12"... or bread loaf slices? So my suggestion is they get some photos taken or make a few sandwiches wrapped and ready to grab n go. Make one of each and see what sells. I'd use sandwiches as a way to bring in customers who will then purchase a pastry or cookie.. or come back when they need something sweet. sorry, no photos... pastries were gone too fast and they were delicious.

I had delicious coffee, pastry, and gelato. I received good, friendly service. I had a cream and fruits filled croissant, coffee, and a cup of gelato with coconut and pistachio flavors. They were all delicious and pretty good. The gentleman who served me gave me a generous portion of their homemade gelato which was creamy and flavorful. I enjoyed my experience here. I liked the variety of pastries and other sweet treats this fime establishment had to offer. I definitely recommend checking them out.
