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.

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 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!
