  I really loved this shop. I accidentally arrived an hour before it opened - it's a bit of a distance from where I live. It was worth the wait. First, the person who put my order together was incredibly gracious and patient. There were two other ladies ahead of me with a lot of questions and I ordered a complicated drink. She was friendly and kind to all of us.
  I had a special Halloween drink (a frozen hot chocolate with marshmallow cream on top and served with a pair of wax lips) and I brought home 12 marshmallows and a marshmallow turtle. Each item was wonderful. Decadent and definitely crafted.
  The space is cute. There are a few small tables with chairs and a bench to sit on.
  I think the quality and customer service was outstanding, well worth the drive.

  This cute little cafe is nestled into a tiny "garden" storefront along Sheridan road, and it could easily be missed, but it shouldn't be.
  When I say cafe, don't be confused that you will be able to eat anything nutritious or breakfast-y, but it would be a dessert cafe and the treats do not disappoint.
  The gourmet marshmallows are tasty and soft and the drinks, which can kind of be classified as dessert smoothies hit the spot on a cheat day. The boxes marshmallows for sale are a bit on the expensive side, but this is not a bag of jet puffed where you wouldn't be crushed if one falls off a skewer and into the fire while trying to toast. These have flavor of their own. And you can even get a s'mores flavored marshmallow, so no need to make your own.
  Staff was super friendly and polite.
  Definitely worth a visit, but build it in by eating salads the rest of the day.

  I have been waiting to come here since they opened so the hubby and I decided to make a stop since we were in the neighborhood. I am a private chocolatier and make my own marshmallows.
  
  The place is small as everyone says and cute. Could use a little TLC. The staff was very very friendly. However the lady at the register gave me one of the wrong marshmallows.  But I'm here to talk about the product.
  
  We Purchased 3 flavors of marshmallows, cookie dough cone and a turtle hockey puck. The hockey puck was the best of all of them
  
  The chocolate that is used to cover the marshmallow is not pure chocolate. It's loaded with oil so the chocolate does not need to be tempered.   So the chocolate is soft and has no crack to it when you bite into it.
  
  The marshmallows are lacking in flavor. The vanilla must not be a high end vanilla becomes we couldn't taste it.
  
  The texture was the same as what you get in a bag at the grocery store but that is pretty typical for any "handmade" marshmallow. It just not my cup of tea
  
  I don't feel the need to go back.   Maybe the other items are better but the marshmallows are just ok.

  I love love love this cute little cafe! Hidden up north near rogers park you must venture out here to try their cute sweets! The cafe is very colorful and great for some Instagram photos. The specialize is fun flavored marshmallows. Each month there are different specialty flavors along with their regular flavors. They had flavors from Scooby snacks, nutella, champagne, cereal milk, funfetti, pickle, lavender, and so so much more! You can buy by the marshmello or get a cute pack of them! I gave them out as treats and people loved them! They also have fun coffee and smoothie drinks topped with marshmallows. I tried the cereal milk drink and it was oo good! It tasted just like cereal milk and was topped with marshmellow fluff and a marshmallow. They also had a kit kat one and so many other options. They also sell smores in which you can add fun things to and other fun goodies. They have cookie dough with marshmallows, macaroons, and more! The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

  Cute place. Its literally a small cafe.
  
  The place is not really noticeable from ouside since they are right in the middle.
  
  We came here because we want to try out the place.
  
  Got here before their open time and they're so nice to let me and my kids went inside. Customer service is definitely a plus.
  
  I ordered 3 marshmallow ice creams, 12 pieces assorted marshmallows and 1 frozen hot chocolate (I was intrigued with the menu name).
  
  All of them were DELICIOUS! I am not going to complain about the taste.
  
  So the lady that served us told us that if you find a sprinkle inside the ice cream, you will get to choose one box of the marshmallow. And lucky enough, my son was the one who got the surprise, so yay for free marshmallow box.
  
  Overall, we're very pleased with everything.
