A Hidden Gem Perfect for the Chinese Taste — De Duallè 💖

Came across De Duallè on Instagram and was instantly charmed by their adorable meringue-topped drinks. I happened to be in the city last weekend and caught another one of their pop-ups — this time focusing on tea drinks instead of coffee, which I loved even more! 🍵 Honey Apple Yuzu Tea – A sweet, fragrant cup perfect for winter — soothing and heartwarming. 🍵 Mushroom Tea – More savory than sweet, with an earthy umami flavor. My friend wasn’t a fan (said it tasted like mushroom soup 😅), but it’s definitely a matter of taste! When the owner heard I have cats, she specially picked out a meringue topper of a woman cuddling a cat on a couch — so incredibly cute! The shop is filled with lovely little treasures — vintage jewelry, cards, perfumes, and all kinds of whimsical items. At the back, there’s a cozy greenhouse where you can sit and slowly enjoy your drink. The owner encourages visitors to write cards to loved ones or just waste time beautifully here. They host different themed pop-ups every weekend — heard a Pokémon-themed one is coming soon… can’t wait! 📍 De Duallè 2202 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647 #SummerFoodieCat 🐱 #ChicagoLife #Chicago #ExploreChicago #ChicagoEats
