This was my review from when they first opened: Great coffee, sweets, and small bites. Nice people.Now: coffee is still OK. Staff needs better training or something. Quiche that was requested to be heated up arrived only lukewarm with a cold bottom. Soup that was requested hot arrived cool. Shouldn't take 2ctries to get it right.

Every time I'm in downtown Evanston, I make it a point to pop in and pick up a couple of butter croissants, Kouign-amanns, and a baguette. I love their food, but seating comes at a premium, as my wife and I found out when we stopped in for coffee and pastries. It's much easier for me to order and bug out with my quarry.

Excellent pastries and espresso drinks. Stop by, you won’t regret it.

I always enjoy my experience when I go to Coralie. The only downside is the limited seating inside. We also didn't have wifi when I visited so I ended up taking my food to go. I really enjoyed my sandwich though. I got the ham and cheese baguette which was really flavorful and filling. I've gotten this sandwich so many times and I never get tired of it. I think the food is worth it even if you have to take it to go.

Coffee, pastries, French breakfast entrees never disappoint. Fresh and fun place to hang out and enjoy a croissant, macarons and a chocolate chair on a cold morning. Great carry out breakfast if you are staying at the Graduate Hotel around the corner!

Product never returned and invoice unpaid after multiple attempts and weeks of email. Small business stealing from a small business, awesome.

Excellent Baked Items | Good Coffee | Cramped Location | Recommended————- Detailed Review Below —————Located in the heart of Evanston and the Northwestern University campus, Patisserie Coralie is an interesting and inviting pastry shop.The interior of the restaurant has some french influences, but the place is jammed with too much furniture at least for my taste.Their tarts and baked items are fantastic and their coffee drinks are OK.Verdict: RecommendedFood/ Quality - 4/5Location/ Ambiance - 4/5Price (Value for Money) - 4/5Service - 4/5#OnlyAcceptAwesomeCoffee#AroundTheWorldin80Cups

I've been a here about. 1/2 dozen times, everything is always good. Today they had Kougin Amann for a special, I was so glad I got it. It was the best one I've had since I visited Arsicault Bakery in San Francisco. Please put these delicious bites of butter and sugar on the menu

Everything we have tried has been great.Half the employees are very nice and competent.They don't, however, seem to pay much attention to online orders all the time, nor follow the simple instructions on them.But the food makes it worth it in the end, I'd say.
Pascal, the owner, exhibits a regrettable demeanor, honestly just plain rude. Additionally, the establishment's hygiene standards are concerning, as I've observed them disregard health codes. The food and coffee just isn’t worth it. For a more satisfying experience, I recommend heading to any other coffee shop/bakery.

The pavlova is classic French pastry at its best. Really lovely.

J'adore this place... How could a French person mess up the pastries? (a hint.. They can't).I do have to say the place is beginning to show its age a little, but it doesn't take away a bit from the ambiance and the deliciousness that's being served at this gem of a patisserie.Don't be shy to get their ham and cheese baguette with butter or truffled croque.

Coffee is okay. Almond chocolate croissant is not very good. Service is great. The restaurant’s atmosphere is very old.

It's a pretty cute cafe! I tried the ham and cheese croissant sandwich and it was pretty good. Nothing to write home about but it was a solid experience. Ambiance is cute, it's like a little Parisian cafe.
