Katherine Anne Confections has been creating local-focused sweets in Chicago since 2006. Their hand-dipped truffles, soft honey caramels, and pillowy marshmallows are ridiculously good, partially due to theie awesome ingredients. Cream is from a 500-cow herd of Jerseys in central Illinois, and local wildflower honey is used to replace corn syrup. If you haven't had hot chocolate from Katherine Anne's, you haven't had it at all. No matter if you choose a truffle, caramel or marshmallow, you are in for a delectable treat.No matter if you choose a truffle, caramel or marshmallow, you are in for a delectable treat.

Great traditional fish and chips. The fish is fresh, perfectly cooked and comes with crispy potatoes on the side. Their specialty is pies. The crust is so flaky, the fillings are hot and savory, the peas with mint are tasty and fresh, and the service could not be friendlier. The food itself is definitely made with quality ingredients and care.
