The vibe has shifted. I used to come here regularly for coffee, wine, or a cocktail. Great option to get sushi delivered to your table from Sea Ranch next door. I was out of town for 6 weeks and came back today. It is different. Several dirty tables, messy floor, three indifferent baristas scrolling on their phones. And the wine cost a couple bucks more than what was posted on the menu. Not worth it anymore.
Great cup of coffee, atmosphere, and people!! one of the best coffee shops in evanston

This shop has undergone changes recently and not for the better. It got huge, light-up signs, changed bakers, and most of the staff left. This had been our go-to for iced chai lattes. Today, they were undrinkable. 10 ounces of syrup and 2 ounces of milk is just gross.
The coffee is meh, but nice ambiance for work/study.

This has been my favorite coffee place. Today I visited for the first time this summer. The coffee is not what it was. Terrible, in fact. I love Evanstons many coffee shops. Apparently the coffee expert is no longer here. The latter was weak and the rich POUR flavor is gone. I’m sad about this change.
