Brunch Restaurants near Evanston, IL

“I had passed by here and wondered about it on my way to the gym a lot. Finally my husband and I went. Now we won’t stop going. The food is really good. The coffee drinks are great. The service is great. It’s a very unassuming and solid breakfast spot that doesn’t break the bank. We love it.“

“so yummy! great atmosphere“

“Stopped for a quick breakfast. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the spot itself is very charming.

Unfortunately, we had to cut our visit short. The open street-facing front combined with maple syrup bottles on each table attracted bees, which made it hard to enjoy.

Also, gratuity is automatically added to the bill, which I didn’t appreciate (especially when they don't say anything).“

“We just happened to catch the name Carabella on our way from doing some errands and decided to come back and visit the restaurant. To our surprise, this little hidden treasure is our favorite place to eat breakfast. The food is full of flavor, and we aim to try it all but not all at once, of course. Lol 😋It's become our favorite place to come for lunch as well. The other day, we had jibaritos, and they have made it even more delicious than any other place that we have ordered it before. The coquito coffee is so good, and the chicken waffles are just simply my fav. 😍 It's a must try for anyone who enjoys delicious food and great service. So much more, we still need to try. Skillets are so delicious filled with unique flavor, and don't forget to try the coquito latte creamy and smooth done to the last drop. Thank you, Miguel, Salvador, and the rest of the staff for the excellent food and service every time we eat there.😋💞 I will keep coming back and posting pictures of their delicacies.😋“

“Pauline’s is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Chad is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Great French bread pudding. Must come back. 10/10.“

“We came in near when they were closing the kitchen and still received the best possible service. the food was incredible, highly recommend.“

“Good solid breakfast establishment, service friendly and quick, but no rushing the customers to seat others.
I asked for my toast to be buttered and was told " we don't for covid concerns". I rolled my eyes, but said no more. I checked later to determine if there were any state or federal prohibitions for buttering toast, OF COURESE THERE WEREN'T!
I'M there are a few people who love hard cold butter spread on cold toast, NOT ME.
injury to insult the butter Is in tiny tiny little sealed plastic small square packs, open 3 or4 just to butter the one piece of toast, what a waste of landfill with plastic, but that isn't a consideration.
Suggedtion... butter the toast as the customer requests, get rid of the small butter packs and go to the paper foil wrapped butter for those who wish to butter there own toast.“

“Favorite chilakiles mmmmmmm“

“This brunch and show was fantastic! I've seen a lot of comments about the food being bland and not being feed enough. Maybe we had a really good server but we had no issues. Food was constantly coming, drinks were flowing. Our server was very attentive. And the food was good! I don't know what other people were talking about. It was basic options but very tasty!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great food and drinks“
