Tristan can’t decide which Italian ice ranks number 2!

Shamelessly promoting Sipping Turtle Italian Ice with Chubby. Beyond shameless.

Jordan from @books4cause having our mango Italian Ice. He likes it! Also Books for Cause having a grand opening this Sunday. Please congratulate them and our neighborhood Avondale for this awesome new addition!

The best Italian Ice in Chi. If you disagree it’s FREE!

I already know you’re gonna think about it for a day like this.

Remember last year we had Italian Ice and you said it was the best ever? Well it’s back but super limited just a few mangos and lemons only!

Better earth for better people

We know we want to do better not just for ourselves but for neighbors and our planet. We will do our best to source our products locally and to be environmentally conscious. That’s why we have paper take-outs and bags, metal straws for in-house and recycle our coffee grounds for certain plant fertilizer. We value your visit to our cafe, sharing your stories and helping us make our day. Thank you!
