    Parfait
    Megan K.

    One of my favorite soft serve spots in the city! The soft serve ice cream is the perfect texture, as it is very creamy and compliments the matcha flavor extremely well. It is not too overpowering whatsoever. The matcha parfait comes with an array of toppings with mochi and green tea cake, the perfect assortment to add on to the ice cream as they compliment each other. Service is good at the lakeview location and the workers are quite friendly.

    Cute place. Has WiFi and the Ube soft serve was DELICIOUS. Got a Taiyaki Fish Cone with Ube soft serve and I would get it again. Nice staff and they let me try the ice cream before ordering.

    Matcha parfait

    Love the Matcha En in Chinatown so was so excited when they opened one in Lakeview! This one is much less crowded than the Chinatown one but thankfully has the same great flavor and actually much more spacious seating. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and the Matcha Parfait we had was a work of art - we got the Matcha/Vanilla combo which was the perfect level of matcha flavor, and the ingredients of the parfait, especially unexpectedly the cereal, paired perfectly with the creamy ice cream. Would highly recommend - they have so many options for desserts you're sure to find something for everyone!

    Great service, amazing matcha ice cream -- huge serving and excellent consistency. We tried the ube/hojicha swirl and recommend.

    Cora was the best ever ... she was friendly, efficient, sweet, easy-going, and very kind. She's also very hard-working. Indoor seating is plenty. The desserts are buy one get one half off at night. But only on the right side of one side of the menu which is mostly the cakes and soufflé. The other side is all drinks and bubble tea. And the other side on the left side of the menu has ice cream and soft serve. I found the menu to be really efficient because it's not only big enough and beautiful and semi waterproof so you can clean it easily, but it was very clear from the pictures what you were getting and the pictures were really pretty and the colors were very bright. There's also an online menu that will give you more description of the items, but the paper menu that is laminated kind of is really aesthetically pleasing. It was a great experience having dessert here and the flavors were really good. I would say that the Matcha layered cake was not good because it didn't have much flavor. but the tiramisu layered cake was better because it was more moist and had more cream.

    This is our first time at Matcha En and I think it was pretty nice. I think it opened right at the beginning the new year and I had like a Taiyaki fish cone like a waffle cone. It was really delicious with Pocky cookies and some Gummies with it as well, it was a little bit melty so I had to eat it fast! The Ube was really, really tasty.. And then sticking to the same theme, I had the Ube Boba tea which was equal equally as delicious and tasty as well. I'll definitely be back to this place. My wife had Thai iced tea and she said she liked it a lot too. Service was fast and friendly, singing while they worked. The decor was modern and cozy and they had an easy point of sale system. Definitely give it a try!

    Chocolate Cheesecake

    This place is very cute and the staff was very friendly. We had a chocolate cheesecake which was very rich and creamy. Soo good. A Ube cream suffle which was perfect and a must try if you like ube. To finish it off I ordered a ube swirl tea which was just perfect. They let you choose the sweetness level (0% / 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%). I got 25% which was just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely come back an try some more. The menu is pretty big.

    Matcha Cheese Mousse Cake

    Loved the matcha cake! It was rich and creamy. Perfect to share with someone. Quick service and students get a discount.

    Good, clean matcha flavor in my iced matcha "americano" (essentially matcha powder mixed with ice water). Lots of space for seating and a HUGE dessert menu. Will be back with the kiddos to try the matcha / hojicha / Ube soft serve, crepe cakes and mochi ice cream. Love the concept of matcha drinks / dessert shop. And any place serving hojicha flavored ice cream is a win in my book!

    I love mangos and with a shop named Mango Mango, it's a requirement to check it out. This shop was…read morepacked and quite busy. It has a loud yet lively atmosphere. There was a line but fortunately the wait wasn't long and I saw a table open up just after I ordered. Food arrived quickly. I got the mango snowcloud and it was huge! It's definitely around a 2 or 3 people's serving size. Lushious cubes of ripe mangos sprinkled with mango popping boba surrounded the mountain of soft, pillowy, creamy, mango milk ice, which was topped with mango ice cream, further drizzled with mango sauce. It was decadent and refreshing, so tasty yet not overwhelmingly sweet. The flavors were so good!!! Highly recommend this and would be back to try other items on their menu.

We walked into a casual and modern space that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The interior is bright and clean, with a relaxed energy that makes it easy to settle in for a dessert without feeling rushed. The menu has a wide range of options, from shaved ice and mango sago to cakes and other fruit desserts, making it easy to find something depending on your mood. The mango mille crepe cake is one of the highlights and a great representation of what the shop does well. We ordered a slice and found the cake made with thin layers of crepe stacked together with cream and fresh mango, creating a texture that feels light while still being satisfying. The layers are soft and delicate, and the mango adds a bright fruitiness that keeps the dessert from feeling overly heavy or too sweet. The balance between the creamy layers and the fresh mango flavor made it feel more refreshing than a traditional cake, especially with the mango being ripe and fragrant. It was also one of the better choices for sharing, as the slice was generous enough to pass around the table. Beyond the mille crepe cake, the menu has plenty of variety with options like mango shaved ice, mango sticky rice, and fruit-based drinks. We appreciated that the desserts are presented carefully, making the experience feel more like a sit-down dessert stop rather than just grabbing something quick. The shaved ice was light and fluffy, with a good amount of mango and toppings that added texture without overwhelming the base. The fruit-based drinks were also refreshing and served as a nice palate cleanser between the richer desserts. The shop can get busy, especially after dinner hours, but the line usually moves along at a steady pace. The staff handled the flow efficiently, and the turnover was fast enough that even with a small wait, we were seated quickly. The seating area is comfortable, and the energy of the room stays lively without becoming too loud. Mango Mango Dessert is a solid Chinatown dessert destination if you are looking for fruit-forward sweets with a lighter, refreshing style. The mango mille crepe cake is a must-try for first visits and one of the items that best captures the appeal of the menu, offering a dessert that feels both visually appealing and satisfying to eat.

    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.

One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out to me. For the price, I felt it was a little pricey compared to Taipei Cafe, and the overall experience did not feel worth it. Overall, the food was just alright, the service could be improved, and the pay-first system was not something I liked. I don't think I would come back.

The taiwanese style popcorn chicken and pork cutlet were super juicy and tender with nicely crisp breading. The sausage had a pleasant sweetness to it and was served with garlic chips, which added a nice touch. Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings

We arrive, place is closed, will open in 10 mins. Perfect, we go to a near by shop and I spot some demon hunter Stanley cups!! I get them of course! We head to lunch, everything is great! As we are heading out, my partners sister spots Te'amo! I ask if she's ever had mochi donuts. She hasn't, so of course we must stop in because everyone needs to try them at least once!!! We order at the kiask and patiently wait for our order. We get our order and leave....leaving the bag with the Stanley's behind!!! We don't realize this until we are home (45 mins away)! I immediately call, no answer, call again, no answer. I decide to DM their instagram page and guess what??? THEY HAD THE CUPS!!! Here I was thinking $150 in cups were gone. But they had them!!!
