Evanston has been called the City of Trees. It is well known for its beaches, parks, and homes of every shape, size, style, and price range. The education institutions, from pre-school to college, are among the best in the nation. You can find a restaurant to satisfy every taste and budget.
But what truly turns Evanston into “Heavanston” for many is its cafes and coffee shops.
In fact, Evanston is home to some of the best coffee shops and cafes in the Chicagoland area. From sleek and sophisticated to quaint and homey and from the busy and bustling to something a little quieter and studious, you are sure to find one that fits your style.
Some roast their own coffee beans while others are supplied by leading local, regional, and national roasteries.
And the house specialties are just as diverse – and satisfying. How about an Oatmeal Cookie Latte, anyone? Want more options? Select from cold brewed to steaming hot espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes to drip, pour overs, and more.
Most also feature a wide selection of teas – black, green, herbal, you name it – to help you warm up in the winter or iced to help you cool down in the summer.
And don’t forget the food. The menu options are just as diverse, but always tasty.
So, recharge or wind down with your favorite beverage. Read a book. Catch up on your work. Meet up with a friend to socialize. Check out all of the Evanston coffee shops and cafes listed below – if you can – and let us know your favorites. We’re always curious to know which mug is putting the smile on your face.
