Excellent place for Korean-inspired drinks and desserts! Since they are a Korean-inspired cafe, I only wish their menu (in person and online) incorporated more pictures and descriptions to depict more non-conventional flavors and menu items.

I absolutely loved this place! Everything — from the drinks to the desserts — was made with so much care. The bubble tea was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, the waffles were amazing, and the bingsu was light and refreshing the best bingsu in chicago.

The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their customers. The interior is beautiful — cozy, bright, and thoughtfully decorated. It’s one of those places where you just want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere a little longer.

Such a lovely spot for anyone who loves good drinks, delicious desserts, and friendly service.

This place is seriously the best for bingsu — I’m in love! 🩵
The texture, the flavor, everything is just perfect. It’s my favorite spot, and I can’t stop thinking about their bingsu.

Sterile and uncomfortable. Food is a narrow list of frozen stuff. Very few drink options besides Boba or specialty coffee (no plain juice, regular tea, etc.). Only positive is that they are open slightly later than most cafes/coffee houses.
Also, the bathrooms are atrocious. Dirty and looks like the ceiling is about to fall in.

This place is truly amazing, I started coming here about 4 years ago and have not stopped coming since. I am a huge fan of boba and this is my favorite place to get it by far, the drinks are the perfect level of sweetness and the boba is always soft and chewy. The owner and workers are also always very pleasant and the place looks very taken care of. I also appreciate that they use fresh fruit in their smoothies instead of powders. :)

Tiger sugar latte was a hit! Boba was perfectly balanced and they have tons of alternative milks! My friend swears by the bingsu, so obvi next time, I’m getting it. I also got an iced americano which had an average taste but this medium size was pretty big! Also, the service was lovely and their workers were super nice. Overall, a good boba spot with some tasty gems🧋

I’ve tried the bubble tea, bubble waffle, and bingsu here — and everything is absolutely delicious! The flavors are spot on and the quality is consistently great. The bingsu, in particular, is hands down the best in the area. I love this place so much I come here more than three times a week. The staff are also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing desserts, drinks, and service!

Hangout Cafe is our go-to spot whenever we’re craving mango bingsoo, hands down the best bingsoo I’ve ever tried! The ice is perfectly fluffy, the mangoes are always sweet and fresh, and the portion is just right for sharing (or not 😉).

We’ve also tried their bubble teas and bubble waffles, and both are really good! The drinks are flavorful and not overly sweet, and the bubble waffle is such a fun treat, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Whether you’re stopping by for dessert or just hanging out (pun intended 😄), this place never disappoints. Highly recommend for any dessert lovers out there! 🍧🧋🧇

A good place to hang out with friends. Have a coffee or some other drinks. But there are disadvantages, they don't give takeout boxes if you haven't finished something. And you don't really want to throw away waffles for $12.
