Nice menu. Very nice location. Chicagoan coffee is very nice and smooth 4 shots shaken with agave. Nice soup and fancy salads

Service is nice but slow. So slow. 90% of the time it is over 15-20 minutes for a one drink order. Recently, it was about 40 minutes for a latte. The people in line with me were throughly confused and annoyed. It wasn't rush morning time and no line out the door. Just steady trickling of people. I want to love the place but have stopped going regularly because it's such a hassle.

I love this cute coffee shop! Great ambience, service and coffee. I try to go once a week to sip and read. Nothing better!

Walking in, it was super loud in there and crowded. I always get a Matcha latte and my husband gets an iced coffee latte. A 12oz iced matcha with oat milk is $7 that comes with a bunch of ice. My husbands was another $8-$9 for mediocre coffee. He said it wasn't strong even with an extra shot of espresso. Not terrible drinks, they were both good but for them being so small and pricey, it was not worth $18 after a $2.50 tip. Not a lot of pastry options either. The workers were very nice and sweet, but not a recommendation overall.

They serve Intelligentsia here, so I was expecting greatness, but my latte fell flat. I'm not sure what's wrong--poor choice of almond milk? But even a bunch of sweetener can't fix the burnt taste of my latte. The two stars given are for the cuteness of the space and all the outdoor seating.

They serve intelligentsia.Ordered a cold brew and a cappuccino. Quality coffee, well made drinks. Delicious.

Adorably cute and pleasant ambiance, excellent espresso, ample seating area, and tasteful decorations including local art from students. A great place to come get some work done or chat with friends. It's a very peaceful place and the baristas are friendly. 13/10 would recommend

This is what a neighborhood coffee shop should be!Needed to kill some time, grab a java, grab a snack, and read...and this was the place that ended up in my crosshairs as I was in downtown Wilmette.Lovely place, wonderfully friendly and attentive team, a great cup of coffee (I'm a simple, plain, black drip guy so can't speak to the subtleties of any fancy schmancy coffee drinks)...and a welcoming place to do what one is supposed to feel welcome doing at a coffee shop...which is hanging out, killing time, grabbing a coffee, grabbing a snack, and reading (and waiting for my better half).The almond croissant was MIGHTY good.

Interesting, they don't ask if you take coffee "to go" or "for here", and some of people get the normal mug, but others - a paper cup. Also a, the door in one of the restrooms cannot be locked.

I went to this cute and cozy adorable cafe last week when I was in the area and my chiro recommended this place. Coffee is excellent, had a creamy mocha and staff was super kind and polite. I sat indoors for a while nice calming and cool since it was hot outside. After a few minutes I went and sat in one of the patio tables outside that was just underneath a tree that provided enough shade and sat there and enjoyed the view!Will be going back for sure next week after my next chiro visit. Check this place out

Beautiful coffee shop in a cute part of town. The inside ambiance is lovely but the outdoor seating is also wonderful on a summer day. Very peaceful and the coffee is wonderful!

This place has been A couple different places until it landed on Central Station coffee. Originally was a school of rock, which I only bring up because there was albums all over the walls. Nice and bright and airy compared to how it was before. I got a special Matcha latte and a salad. Not the biggest fan of Matcha so I'm the wrong person to ask on that but the salad was yummy

Wonderful little coffee shop that has an inviting atmosphere. The inside has a lot of natural light and is such a relaxing place. It is a great space to meet up with friends or bring your laptop and get some work done. The staff is amazing. They all were so friendly and helpful. Customer service is top notch. They answered a lot of the questions I had and walked me through some of their menu items. I ordered the peach mango matcha and Caesar salad. First of all, they have the best Caesar salad I have ever had in my life. I don't usually get excited over a salad but this one was so good I can't even believe how tasty it was. The peach mango matcha was so pretty I didn't want to drink it but it was well made and so refreshing on this hot day. I went later in the afternoon so all the pastries were already gone. I will definitely have to go back early and try some. The turkey and brie sandwich was very delicious. Made for a good light lunch. Pleasantly surprised at this coffee shop and adding to my list of go to places.

While searching on Yelp for a new coffee shop to try out. Central Station was one that came up. Parking outside of Central Station is mainly street parking, although it was not hard to find parking at all. When you walk in, the atmosphere is very light and airy. It felt like home. I ordered the matcha latte and it was delicious! Only thing to be mindful of is that it does leave a green stache when you drink it, so be sure to have napkins ready! Haha. I didn't realize until someone told me but it's a funny story to laugh about. All in all, if you're looking for a feel goo cafe to get some work done, and enjoy a nice hot beverage... Central Station is a great place to do so!
