Starfruit offers frozen treats at new Lincoln Park location

Twitter-savvy Starfruit Cafe (@StarfruitCafe) is no longer just in the West Loop. It has opened a new location at 2142 N. Halsted St. in Lincoln Park.

The new site is "just in time for the hot weather," notes Leah Zeldes of DiningChicago.com. It offers its renowned "delicious and healthful frozen kefir," a yogurtlike treat with fruit toppings, as well as kefir smoothies. Kefir is a "creamy, effervescent dairy beverage" popular in Europe, according to Zeldes.

@StarfruitCafe is active on Twitter and it frequently interacts with users.

Local Chicagoans are tweeting their love for the newest local chain.
