Crave the Day

Just Indulge Sweet Spot Opens

I want chocolate. No wait! Ice cream. Mmm, chocolate ice cream. And something salty … pretzels? Yes! Pretzels dipped in chocolate ice cream.

Prone to the odd craving?

Give it free reign at Just Indulge, a new Wicker Park sweet spot and late-night addiction.

Start with homemade custard — thick, creamy, and guaranteed to fatten you up just in time for summer. Vegans can dive into soy ice cream. Next, hit the homemade popcorn (you’ll smell it on arrival as it wafts out to the street). Follow that with Chicago Chocolates — assorted malt balls, truffles, chocolate-covered Rice Krispie treats, and the like.

Or perhaps you’d like a pastry (perhaps? Who are you kidding?): There are cakes, cookies, scones, and more. Cap it all off with a cup of Intelligentsia coffee.

You’ll want to lick the walls — but don’t.

Save that for next time.

Just Indulge, 1755 West North Avenue, at Wood Street (773-486-6680).
