Does Peet make good coffee? Heh, asking for a friend! Why? Well, I came here with my buddy and we both got the sparkling lemonade. Not coffee. Ok, yeah. I know that I said in previous reviews that I strictly drink black coffee. Well ya know what? I'm a changed man! Ever since my young daughter accidentally drank 3 whole cups of coffee before school and almost had to be hospitalized, the Pellegrino household has decided to lay off the caffeine for a bit 🤣🤣 at first I was like, hey! What can I do! It was my daughter's fault... that sneaky little pest... not mine! Well well. Beggars can't be choosers. I also got a butter croissant. Now, I'll say this once (and I'll probably say it again)... the croissant was better than the Starbucks down the street. It's more artful, more crispy, more authentic... and it adds more to the conversation. (Shut up, Joseph!! Food can't talk! Are you on caffeine again? Good god!) hah sorry for contemplating with myself 😅it's been a long day at work and it's only noon. I digress. And the sparkling lemonade... well perhaps it was only my batch but it was bland and wasn't that sweet. You'd think that for a cafe specializing in drinks it would have better drinks but I guess the food is just too good and overshines it. But the atmosphere was great. Pretty quiet space but still has vibrant and productive vibes. I'm a fan of the architecture and spacial set up. Again, a lot better than the atmosphere of Starbucks down the street. This place has been in business for longer than my daughter has been alive. (Wait.. have I counted that right?? Don't quote me 😂😂 hey! Don't sue me! I know my daughter's birth date! For goodness sake!) Considering this place's uncrowded nature on a Friday around 4pm, it seemed a little empty. Which is why I am wondering if other hours are busy and perhaps their overall demographic consists of morning people 🤣🤣🤣 could not be me! If I didn't work a full time job where I consistently take on extra hours (of unpaid time!) I would be catching some Zzz's in my cozy room! Hah! My favorite part about this place is that it connects to the Winnetka Bookstall. It's nice to stroll around and look at books (hopefully you'll see my book in a bookstall soon! Working on it!) while having or had just had a good old coffee. (It's tempting... that bitter old trusty caffeine... don't do it... can't be safe in the household with my daughter....but I'm so tired! I haven't slept since I've been writing my book! Good god Joseph! Get a grip! You've gotta be hallucinating! Wake up!) (Sorry about that digression in the parentheses. I'm working on incorporating more artistic and ambiguous authors craft to my reviews to keep it interesting. Let me know if you're liking it.) Anyway, this place is not the greatest in the world, I'll say that much. It's not like the food and drinks are exceptional. But it's nice to switch it up every once in a while, ya hear?
Just a guy with a dream and a Google Maps account,

Best Peet's I've ever been to. So clean and welcoming. The fastest, friendliest staff. The manager, Sarah, is my favorite person ever. Highly Recommended!

The coffee might be good, but the service is absolutely abysmal. I placed my order through the app and stood by the counter for over 10 minutes like a fool, and not one employee bothered to ask what I was waiting for. It turns out they had placed my order by the door on the opposite side of the café, as if it was supposed to be obvious. This is utterly ridiculous. The staff is incompetent, completely untrained, and desperately needs serious training. I won't be coming back. I'll take my business to Starbucks, where the service is faster, more efficient, and doesn't involve a scavenger hunt to find my order.

This Peet's is usually quite busy as it is situated squarely in the middle of downtown Evanston. I would say the most outstanding feature of this Peet's is the service. Everyone is uniformly friendly, prompt, and helpful. Lots of smiles. Seats may be hard to find as Northwestern students usually plant themselves in their tables and stay there for a good part of the day. It's better when the patio in front of the store opens in Spring. The drip coffee is fine with half-priced refills, and there are an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, pastries , and muffins. Make sure you talk to the server about enrolling in the rewards program which is quite good.

Great place to grab a cub of coffee if you happen to be in Winnetka. Clean, well light, friendly staff. Would visit again given the chance.
Parking: No directly attached parking. Only street parking which can be hit or miss.
My g/f enjoyed her coffee and quick service, cool place inside as well. I had an OJ and we split some pumpkin bread and I must say it was average at best.The layout inside is very inviting, looking forward to our next visit next month as we're there every last Sunday of the month for the FuelFed cars and coffee!
Great coffee and awesome baristas!
