Sometimes when I need a little treat without the kids I'll walk over here to enjoy a nice affogato. I've had it with Pistachio gelato and with Salted Caramel gelato, and both were really good.

The inside is nice, and has a few Instagram-able areas to take pics. They are walking distance from my home, so I've never driven but I suspect that parking wouldn't be too hard to find off of Irving Park.

Coffee is impressive and lemonade fresh as it gets. Cute cute cute fun place to visit. Their beignet was too doughy and dense today- maybe didn't have time to let yeast rise properly. We are willing to try again. Remember to order properly if you order 2 for 6$ set you can add a third for 2$ but if you order 4 more they they charge for 3$ each. We wanted 6 today so next time will remember to order 2x3 for 6$ instead of set of 2 then 4 more on side. But the owner was super kind so we didn't mind one way or another. She let us try their sauces and they were both amazing. I think addition of chocolate sauce like Grand Lux used to have in their triple sauce set, may be a crow pleaser.

Don't leave without trying their gelato. The wild berry is the best outside of Rome. Enjoy!

Unfortunately we came here specifically because the website said they have gluten free pierogi, which my Polish-American & Celiac friend visiting really wanted to try during their Chicago trip. They did not have gluten free pierogi, and only had the pizza pot pie as a gluten free option. That said, I did really enjoy my pierogi, very soft and buttery! She was also fine with her pizza pot pie but it wasn't something she would've ordered otherwise. It's defiantly worth the stop because they are so kind and hospitable! Just a beware to anyone GF coming for pierogi!!

I ordered the Mazapán Latte iced, and it was the perfect way to start my Sunday. Sweet, nutty, and beautifully balanced, it's one of those drinks you immediately want to recommend to a friend. I also tried their ham and cheese croissant, which was warm, flaky, and surprisingly flavorful. A simple item done exceptionally well. If you're looking for a spot with authentic Colombian charm, great drinks, and tasty bites, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

I stopped in to go and the chai was different from what I've tasted before; hard to explain. I did't like it at first but it grew on me. I wonder if it wasn't well mixed, perhaps, because it was a little stronger at the end. Having a drink to dine in might be nice though. They have a really nice tea. The parking lot though is a mess. This is located in a strip mall right off Lawrence and Oketo so it can quickly get congested, and it's a little tight. But a nice comfortable place to stop if you'd like a coffee or tea.
