Those in the know have been predicting pie's ascent as the dessert of choice for a while now, even going so far as to pronounce cupcakes dead. Pie Stop #1 - Bang Bang Pie Company (Logan Square).

Jastea takes advantage of its captive audience by walking among the mob waiting outside Kickin' Crab with a tray of tea samples. Smart strategy. Anyway, we didn't need a free sample to stop by Jastea:. A basic milk tea with pearls will set you back $3.55. The cups are pretty big though:. Our last ni...
