Very expensive for a small plate that had a few pieces of potatoes small portion of grilled vegetables 3 pieces of bacon and some spinach $11.00 you can have a regular breakfast at any restaurant for that amount and some piece of egg? I’m sure never to come back or recommend this place

Cute cafe on the main street in Evanston. Nice selection of salads, soups and sandwiches. The reuben was delicious. Stuffed with meat on toasted marbled rye. The adjoining bakery sells a beautiful selection of baked goods and desserts as well. Service was friendly and our food arrived quickly. Definitely recommend stopping in for a quick bite in between shopping.

Spent time getting some work done while enjoying a delicious oat milk latte. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. There is a clean, one person bathroom and electrical outlets in different spots. The staff were all very friendly as well :)

Honestly, I’m shaken by my experience at Tag’s this morning.I ordered a sandwich/coffee, sat down with my laptop to do some work, had only pleasant interactions with the staff - but soon made the mistake of trying to use the restroom. This was my first time at this cafe, so once I found the restroom I turned the door handle *once* and found it was locked. Immediately, a barista from behind the counter snaps, “Someone’s in there, that’s why it’s locked.” Indeed, an astute observation… one I’d just made myself. And it’s not as if I stood there turning the handle trying to get in once I noticed the door was locked. So I simply said, “Oh sorry” and sat back down at my table to wait my turn.The person who exited the restroom seconds later was another barista who immediately made eye contact with the first barista. They rolled their eyes and shook their heads at each other. Apparently, they were unaware that walls aren’t soundproof, because after I got into the restroom, the barista who’d been in there before me started going off about how “F’ing annoying it is when people aren’t considerate enough to knock, etc.” among other things. I was already annoyed seeing the exchange between the baristas before I entered the restroom, but the profanity and audacious volume level of their conversation - in front of other customers no less - threw me for a loop. I exited the restroom, which opens up directly to where the baristas were standing. I told them (and I feel it MUST be mentioned, I spoke as calmly as possible) I could hear every word they were saying, and they might want to be careful how loudly they talk about customers in that way. Her immediate reply - “And you might want to consider F’ing knocking next time.” (I shouldn't leave out the fact that a third barista did approach at this point trying to apologize for the situation.)An older man with longer hair that I’d seen at the counter earlier was sitting at a table right beside us. I asked him if he was the manager. He nodded and only said “yeah”. I asked if he’d just witnessed the exchange. He simply nodded. Nothing else. Never stood up. Offered no solution. No apology for his barista chastising and literally swearing at a customer for *simply trying to use the restroom*. I smiled at him, said nothing more and left.As I’m typing this out, the whole situation feels utterly surreal. Wasted $5 on parking and $18 on food/tip just to be CURSED at by staff and made to feel uncomfortable enough to leave before finishing. I genuinely left feeling like the only adult in the room after a pathetic exchange with a manager.It’s clear this isn’t a serious business. Don’t go.
