12 Best Cafes in Evanston

“The service is outstanding. The food is delicious.“

“We love Cupitol at all hours of the day, but weekend brunch is the best. Food is top notch, service is fast, and Dylan makes our day.“

“Matcha was insane. As an avid matcha drinker who knows quality, their matcha is so good and you can really taste it, not just like sweet grass. The prices were quite expensive, around $8+ per matcha, and their portions were quite small (12 oz). Though, the quality was worth it and my matcha was devoured in minutes. I will be back for more! Just wished there were bigger portions for the price. Just look at the color and you will see!“

“I'll give them 4 stars, because they don't have espresso like a normal coffee shop. Some of the drinks are good, they have a mint one that I feel is ok. I think it was called the mint mojito. The service is generally fast, people are helpful. Answers my questions, etc.“

“Very friendly and comfortable. Coffee was great.“

“The coffee, matcha, and atmosphere are excellent at Newport Coffee House. There is tons of indoor and outdoor seating, so a great place to hang out with loved ones or a good book as you drink you coffee. Highly recommend the oat maple cold brew and iced lattes - yum!“

“Came here with my friend for a casual brunch. I had the caesar salad with smoked salmon as well as a latte macchiato. The salad was so savory and the coffee was very yummy and frothy. The service was lovely and the atmosphere was so cozy and welcoming. Clean and near the lake. Left with some pumpkin spice cream cheese pastries. Very content. Will come back!!!“

“My team member Mary gifted me with some bagels along with the honey vanilla and strawberry spread and I literally couldn’t stop eating the bagels and spread. They were delicious! I can’t wait to grab more!!!!“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“Had a delivery mishap yesterday expected a delivery between 4pm and 6pm it did not arrive. I called them this morning and the young man was very nice and apologetic. He had my delivery to me by 10:30 am with a few sweet treats for my inconvenience.😍 Sorry I don't remember his name.“

“Lisa's Cafe is a wonderful spot on campus to grab a quick bite or sit down and get some work done. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect retreat between classes or during a busy afternoon. They offer a great selection of fresh sandwiches, salads, and hot food options, along with excellent coffee that always hits the spot. The staff is consistently friendly, patient, and efficient, ensuring the line moves quickly even during peak rush hours. The seating area is very well-maintained, clean, and comfortable with plenty of natural light. I highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for a convenient, high-quality, and relaxing place to eat and recharge!“
