    I love that this Cafe sells:

    Artisan coffee beverages
    Artisan gelato
    Fresh squeezed lemonade
    Fresh fruit smoothies
    Snacks,
    etc.

    Location, location, LOCATION!

    In the Triangular Mariano Park named after a local Chicago Reporter who spent time here cultivating conversations for stories.

    There are tables, chairs, umbrellas, benches, and a fountain where locals and visitor patrons cherish each moment under the shade of the trees and foliage compliments of The Chicago Park District.

    Great people watching!

    ARTISAN GELATO:
    $6.00 is the price of a cup of Artisan Gelato...August 1, 2019.

    ATTN:  Mr. Tiger (Owner)-
    Please, please, PRETTY PLEASE...PLEASE:  SELL PINTS OF THE GELATO!!!! It would be great for the locals and tourists alike!

    FUN FIND!

    Good stop on the hottest day of the year.
    Gelato is pretty good. (Andy's Frozen Custard is better.)

    I won't buy gas on weekends because they jack up the price, but I paid six bucks for 1 scoop of gelato. Plus tip. Don't be an asshole: Tip these kids.

    Yeah service was cheerful despite 1000 degrees of humidity. I've been appreciating people lately. And goodness. Maybe I should get out of the sun.

    This is a small hut on the edge of Mariano Park--better known as the Viagra Triangle. Across the street from Gibson's and Dublins.

    Just like I called it in my Gibson's review, fat guy in pink shirt with obnoxious cigar here. Is that how rich guys establish status? Most awful cigar wins? He's still a person and I'm glad he exists. Unless he drove the babes away with his cigar.

    They sell coffee and hot chocolate too in the winter.

    Come here if you're already here, otherwise Andy's FC in the burbs.

    I think the best part about this Gelato was the little park you could sit at and eat it. I maybe a little judgy when it comes to ice cream or gelato because of Jeni's but this wasn't really anything special. It was good but not great. Just a nice little treat after we had eaten some AMAZING deep dish pizza.

    It's in a tiny little park in the middle of the shops and streets which was super cool and it was packed with people. Chairs all over and people all over. Chatting, playing games, people watching or eating ice cream. It was pretty cool.

    Friendly staff at this delicious gelato stand. They have coffee as well, but the gelato is Heavenly. Reminds me of the gelato back home in NYC. Definitely delicious and worthy of dropping by. Look at how fresh the fruit is as well

    The best cafe with the staff! Everything is so fresh and they make the juice so fast. I always come before work and love seeing these faces! They make my morning. Orange juice is fresh squeezed always and coffee is strong.

    My favorite place in Gold Coast. Worth the visit! Especially for the gelato on a weekend.
