"If there is a heaven, it's most definitely filled with Katherine Anne's. From the are-you-f'ng-kidding-me caramels (she's been making them since age 10!) to the better-than-fill-in-the-blank truffles (with new flavors turning up regularly), quite literally, nothing compares. And damn you if you miss a chance at the ridiculously rich seasonal FEW Bourbon hot chocolate with salted caramel marshmallows... you'll be crying until next year. Of course if you can't make it to the shop, there's an online store ready to take your order. Consider a monthly box, delivered directly to your door. And if you've trained your cat properly, you may not even have to get out of bed to enjoy the deliciousness." - Firebelly Design
"This Logan Square confectioner has an assortment of chocolates, candy, and housemade marshmallows. But we come to Katherine Anne primarily for one thing—their incredible ground chocolate melted into a combination of milk and cream, resulting in a velvety, almost buttery, drink. You can get it in a variety of flavors, like hazelnut or salted caramel, but your best bet is to get a $12 flight of three." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
"Much has been written about the drinking chocolate at Katherine Anne Confections, and just a few sips will explain why. Patrons can choose from varieties including chai, salted caramel, peanut butter, and more, and top off their mug with house marshmallows or Kilgus Farm whipped cream. In 2023, owner Katherine Duncan expanded her operation into a second location in Irving Park." - Naomi Waxman
"For over a decade I've known the tiny Logan Square shop as a charming candy haven where Katherine Duncan crafts some of the city's most decadent drinking chocolates, truffles, and gourmet marshmallows; visitors would often ask, 'Can I have a tour?' and in the cramped space she would joke, 'Yes, stand here and spin.'" - Naomi Waxman
"The confectionery's top seller is marshmallows made from May’s Farm wildflower honey, offering flavors from salted caramel to tea varieties. The shop serves a hundred hot chocolates a day, paired with toasted marshmallows. Monthly marshmallow varieties include unique creations like rose and rosé marshmallows and the ambrosia marshmallow with cherries, coconut, pineapple, and orange." - Pearse Anderson
