Thank you for recommending our cinnamon ginger tea. It’s a little spicy but warm and sweet like Christmas morning. Naturally sweetened with cinnamon sticks. No caffeine and sugar free.

"Excellent place to have lunch before vising Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio. We were four people, everybody had something different from the menu with variety. Everybody liked their meal. The place is tidy and smallish, but not too small. I had a cinnamon tea and expected it to have lots of sugar as we are in the U.S. but was delighted to find that this drink was healthy and not too sweet. A strong recommendation."

FOUR REASONS TO TREAT YOURSELF THIS FRIDAY! 🌱✨

It’s like experiencing all four seasons in one day in Chicago—so why not enjoy four delicious specials, too? A little savory, a little sweet, and a whole lot of deliciousness! 😋

🥟 Siu Mai – A dim sum favorite! Tender, savory little dumplings packed with plant-based goodness.

🌱 Pulled Stack – Hearty, savory, and satisfyingly stacked. Comfort food worth every bite!

💜 Ube Tiramisu – A dreamy twist on the classic, with ube’s delicate, nutty, vanilla-like sweetness.

🤎 Biscoff Tiramisu – Creamy layers meet rich, caramelized cookie-butter goodness. Pure indulgence!

Whether you’re craving something savory or saving room for dessert, we’ve got a little something for everyone—no matter what the Chicago weather brings.

Four specials. Four reasons to stop by. 💚

Which one is calling your name today? 👀
