    Arabian chocolate cake
    Kenyata F.

    Order a shot of espresso it was perfect and nice and hot. Biscoff tres leches cake. Good taste and moisture. It needed to get to room temp for a few minutes after coming out of the fridge area. It was around 6 bucks and delicious. My bestie ordered Arabian chocolate cake it was priced at 13 or 16 dollars.... Make with Nutella, chocolate, kunaffeh, etc. was dry and tasteless cold. Let this dessert adjust to a warmer temp as you can them taste the flavors and crunch. The Nutella didn't give me a hazelnut flavor at all but more chocolate. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order this again. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. Plenty of seats and nice decor to chill for a minute. The menu options were great in my opinion because they had great coffee options including bustello, drip espresso, Turkish coffee which is extra strong, and other selections. I couldn't tell if they served matcha but to have shakes, lattes, and teas was enough. Metered Street parking. Courteous staff some more attentive to their phones than customers but hey young people gotta learn.

    The ambiance is really pretty, I must have arrived once a group of kids left. It was a bit messy at some of the tables; but I was able to find seating in a cute spot by the grass walls. I was hoping to get a specific drink like a hot chai latte or a matcha latte with sugar free vanilla syrup. Unfortunately, they don't know how to make a chai latte nor did they have sugar free vanilla. So not your typical cafe. I ordered their banana pudding, it's the perfect size for a nice sweet treat.

    Upon arrival, isn't it so cute!

    Ok yall let's talk about ambiance today. It's been a while since I've been to a brunch with females I'd call friends, and this particular day of visit I felt an inviting pull to stop into this quaint shop near the 57th street beach. Upon arrival, I gushed at the pink paint and faux grass covered walls and immediately took some much needed selfies. TikTok had a nice little template for my swagger in this unique and pretty dessert place. I get to the menu after finally putting down my IPhone and ordered a matcha. The matcha drink is not good at all. Love, Sandra Coin of #sandracoinent from LinkedIn.

    Very cute dessert spot! They have multiple flavors of tres leches cake. I had the original and it was amazing!

    We came here on a work at home lunch break for gelato to eat later. We dropped some food off at the Love Fridge along Hyde Park Blvd near 52nd street.(https://www.thelovefridge.com/) We are usu only in this area to go to Sip and Savor across the street, but Sweet Drip opens at 9. We also tell ourselves we don't go here to save our waistline and wallet! Anyway, we entered the cafe around 1pm on a Thursday. No customers were around, just staff. I did not realize until I saw the staff, Turkish delights and baklava that the place is owned/run, I assume, by middle eastern or Mediterranean citizens. Please correct me if I am wrong! In addition to gelato and pastries and coffee, they have candy, soda, water, other little convenience items, which is a good idea. Our clerk was friendly and patient, we asked a lot of questions! He let us sample a couple of flavors too. There was an 'odd' named one I did not care for but I forgot what it was. I got the Lotus and Nutella small cup. (lotus is like Biscoff cookies and vanilla ice cream!) My other party got the lemon and pineapple. My cup was half melted by the time I walked home but I put it right in the freezer. These were SOO good! It's hard to mess up gelato, though. I'd go back for a crepe or cookies or some dessert I can share. One thing we did not care for: my party received a small upcharge for using a credit card, which she inserted at the register. I tapped my card and did not get an extra fee. They should at least list that or warn customers. I may just use cash next time I go.

    The employees are very disconnected, they don't greet the customers. When you get to the counter there's just an awkward moment where your just stared at. I asked questions and was directed out of line to speak to someone else. Then I had to get back in line and wait longer to pay, after paying I had to ask where my items were and I was directed to speak to someone else. Who ignored me and was talking to the cashier as if I wasn't standing there. Then she proceeded to call out the order after mines. She spoke past me rudely until I asked for my paid items again. Customer service doesn't match the esthetic which makes the vibe in the restaurant off. I wanted to stream with the Strawberry Dubai cup and review it on live, since I have a big following. The whole experience made me never wanna come back. It was $32 for a strawberry cup, a kids cone, and a slice of cake.

    Literally the best hidden gem ever! Cutest ambiance and SO many options for coffee, gelato, various desserts, bubble tea, and so much more! There's plenty of seating too and is such a great place to stop by at, grab a bite, and get work done. Naif was also the sweetest, very welcoming, and let us try gelato samples before ordering! I highly recommend stopping by!

    This is a cute coffee/tea shop conveniently located in Hyde Park. I was so excited to know what would now be on this block and anxiously awaited the day they opened. As you can see , walking in, the ambience is so nice. It's colorful and there is plenty of reading. This is also a nice place to come and do homework it work if you need to. There are great views of the park which is across the street and it's in walking site nice of the lake. I tried one if their famous teas and it didn't disappoint. My daughter and her friends got desserts that were very tasty! The staff were very sweet and explanatory and suggested different things to us on the menu. I'm so glad to have this new shop close to my neighborhood. Give gotta check them out!

    Stopped in here for a sweet treat with our niece after a day at the museum. Such a nice hidden gem! It was so cute on the inside, and the selection of desserts were abundant and unique. I got the peach virgin mojito and I slurped it down in under 2 minutes. It was that good. The service deserves its own shoutout as well. The two gentlemen working when we came in this Thursday evening were so kind and patient. Our niece wanted to try EVERY SINGLE ice cream flavor and the man happily obligated and made sure she liked what she picked. It was awesome. If we lived in this area I would definitely be a regular.

    Super cute cafe in "downtown" Hyde Park with excellent coffee and friendly service…read more I'm not a coffee aficionado, but my dad is, and he was very happy with the quality of the coffee. The cafe doesn't have coffee with "regular" names (eg. Americano). Instead, each item on the menu has a Philz-only name and twist. This makes for a more unique experience that other cafes in Hyde Park. I enjoyed their Iced Coffee Rose, and my father enjoyed both the Silken Splendor and Jacob's Wonderbar. The decor is warm and inviting, and the cashiers and baristas are always friendly and helpful. The cashier in fact walked me through their selection quite extensively and patiently. I haven't tried any of their food so far, but definitely intend to do so. The establishment is open only till 3pm on weekdays, which is unfortunate because otherwise this would have become my default study spot. I still plan to visit, perhaps with a book or two. Overall, I recommend Philz if you are in the neighborhood in the morning or early afternoon.

TBH, Philz is just like any standard coffee shop, offering different kinds of roasts, teas, and light bites. I asked the cashier for a rec and they pointed to the popular flavors. I'm not a dark roast lover, but also wanted a good cup of coffee, so I got the Philtered Soul, which is their medium roast. I initially ordered it hot, but it was pretty warm (~50+ degrees, warm in chi standards lol) that day, so the barista gladly pivoted and made my drink cold. They asked iced or cold brew and I said dealer's choice - I got the cold brew and it was a GREAT gamble!! Loved that there was a cup of free keychains at the register, so I had to take one back w me as a souvenir. Bright spot with ample seating and locals working on laptops. Shoutout to the Philz staff for an overall delightful visit and enjoyable bev!
