The electric sunrise is good, but since it's Grapefruit just know it's on the more sour side. The matcha milk tea I got with less sugar. This one tasted good and was my favorite. The Swiss roll is decent, but you can't taste the matcha all that much. The service was great when I went. The lady put my drink in 2 small cups after the picture for the electric sunrise since my son was drinking it but didn't want boba. The store was also quite quiet. But I went about an hour before closing. If you want to try some unique flavors, this is a tea place to try. I will definitely be going back to try other flavors in the future.

It was suggest by a friend but I had never been. The experience was wonderful! The entire staff was attentive to our party and there were other large parties there. I had the salmon salad and 2 espresso martinis, both were delicious. The food was so good we all sampled each others' - apple French toast, chicken biscuit with cheese grits, fries and the grilled PB&J. I should have ordered one of those to go. The coffee bar is quite large on the inside with two sides and a nice size bar. Matt, the owner, communicated with my friends to make sure everything para perfect for the shower. We got to meet his mom who was lovely as well. Tiny's is clearly a gathering spot for the community. It's worth the trip to Gary.

Very cute place, and the waitress was very attentive and gave us recommendations, came back often to check on us and refill our drinks. Lots of drink options, including cocktails, wine, beer, cider. I got a grapefruit radler which I don't see too often. Several yummy looking things in the menu, and vegetarian and gluten free options. I went with the recommendation of vegetarian fried rice, topped with a fried egg. My friend got the chips and guac and pork belly side. We both liked the food quite a bit! A great find! Lots of people were there, and there was live music which was a bit loud, but definitely recommend this spot.

There's a wide selection of topping one can add like egg pudding(don't knock it til u try it). Additionally, the Boba itself is AMAZIMG. It's nice chewy and warm especially when they first make it. It's probably the best because they make it CORRECTLY. Like no packages or anything. The service is so nice. The girls that work there remember the locals and their favorite drinks. They also talk to their customers but not in like a customer servicey way, like a friend. The decorations are also very pretty, like theres umbrellas hanging from the ceilings. Its just very calming. They also have a big tv and play music ranging from bad bunny to kpop. Its a great way to unwind after school. I recommend it for anyone who wants good boba. Be aware there can be a wait sometimes, but it is worth it. Also i am i talking bout the Portage location.​

We had to wait for the drinks to be made, but it felt like it took less time than going through the drive thru at the local Starbucks location.

I asked for my eggs over medium and even specified the whites full done with the yolk runny. I got hash browns that were very soft and barely warm and eggs that were cooked with a very hard yolk. when the waitress returned I asked for the eggs to be recooked how I ordered them and hash browns that were hot and cooked. I then watched what I assumed was the manager at the kitchen window dissect them with his fingers and become very defensive with a poor attitude that I would send them back. when the food came back the eggs WERE correct (they did a very good job on the second set of eggs) but my hash browns were mush like they poured oil on frozen potatoes and chopped onions then stuck them in the microwave (I was literally able to make mashed potatoes out of them with my fork) and the onions were raw and crunchy. If breakfast for two is almost $40 (2 eggs, 3 sausage links, 2 slices of French toast with a side of hash browns) and ( French toast and 3 sausage links) and 2 fountain drinks. I should not get better food at McDonald's at that price and a sit down restaurant.

I loved the taste. I purchased a $17.00 key Lime, Lemon was out. I also bought a Lemon Slice, was not as good. The young lady with the noise piercing finished my sale. Within ear shot, I heard the lady behind me order a Chocolate Pie. The young lady says $8.00. I leave out the store confused as to why the person behind me charged only 1/2 of what I paid. I looked for a sale announcement, nothing indicating such. Went back in to inquire how this could happen at 6pm. She explained; because the pie was a day old....I asked her was this advertised anywhere as an I option? She looked at me like her hand was caught in the cookie jar and says "no". I left the store with the pie I paid full price; which I had no problem paying for, just wanted fairness. As a retired black elder, I just wanted to believe things could change. I guess Indiana just hasn't caught up yet. I probably will not spend my money there any longer.

We were greeted by a friendly person behind the counter and found lots of goodies to choose from. Their pies look great, and are bargain-priced compared to what we are used to in Chicago. They had a holiday table with toffee and other goodies. It wasn't until we left and I read the reviews that I knew that they are famous for their toffee. Something we missed out on. We ended up buying two blueberry muffins and a nut-laden banana bread. When decided between their zucchini bread and banana bread, we asked the counter person which one was better. Her answer was that she had never eaten either of them. Not a great help, and my suggestion is that employees should sample and be familiar with the product they are selling. That said, we went with the banana bread and was absolutely delicious--moist, flavorful and with a generous coating of nuts. Marilyn's banana bread was much better than the banana coffee cake that we had given our La Porte friends from a fancy-schmancy Chicago bakery--and it was a third of the price. The blueberry muffins were good, too. Not sure when we will ever be back in Hobart, Indiana, but Marilyn's is worth a stop if you're in the area.
