Warm weather and frozen treats go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong, and temps are finally on the rise. We checked out Wicker Park's new upscale froyo place Starfruit at their preview last week, and the joint officially opens today, dispensing free treats to taxpayers and evaders alike. Free ice cream(like products) = best.
Starfruit Cafe (obnoxious, noisy website alert) serves frozen kefir and nonfrozen parfaits, but we only tried the frozen stuff which comes in original, which just tastes yogurt-y, and pomegranate, which tasted more like berries than pomegranates to us. Kefir is a little tangier than regular 'gurt, and while it's reasonably tasty, the real draw for Starfruit the toppings. There are 12 fruit options, tons of cereal choices, mochi, candy stuff, granola from Milk & Honey, and oh yeah--cupcakes from Alliance bakery. We tried pomegranate with mango and granola, and plain with red velvet cupcake and Fruity Pebbles (pictured), and we'd give both a solid B+. A small costs $3, and toppings cost extra, so it's on the pricey side of things, but a swanky, healthy dessert place that's open til 2am on the weekends is going to do just fine.
Starfruit is on 1745 W Division

The Starfruit Cafe Web site reminds me of another one.
I think the south side of Division is East Village - not Wicker Park... I'm just saying.
eeeeee is correct!
And more on that note, pretty sure you mean W Division.
Yes, technically it is East Village, but c'mon. I've been living in East Village for years and they both sort of meld into one at Division street.
Now Division street itself? That is an entirely different situation, ever since Andy's deli closed, there isn't a single place to buy food on that street unless I want to go to the utterly pointless August supermarket that is pretty far east whose employees just stare sullenly at me (and no whatever the hell they sell in Zahir's liquors does not count as 'food', although the booze isn't bad ;). I wish someone would open a little food shop on Division street.
yeah kefer and Yogurt are not
the same and shouldnt be compared to each other.
