The espresso drinks are the best in Evanston. My new favorite place to come and work remotely on a weekday morning.
Employees were helpful and friendly. Come and hang out with your friends, or come work alone/with someone. It has great mixed vibe in there. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. They were going to charge me $1 for replacing the meat with an extra egg. I was getting the classic breakfast asked if they can do no meat and replace that with an extra egg. I think that’s an even trade, if anything probably better for the restaurant. The pancakes, French toast were great!
Chocolate almond croissant - 5/5Sweet potato bowl - 4/5The rice bowl was nice and fresh-tasting. But the flavor was kind of bland. Had to add quite a bit of pepper and hot sauce to get it to the flavor level I wanted. Could have also used more sweet potatoes. Still, I enjoyed it, and it made for a great warm option for breakfast.The croissants were perfection. Just the right amount of crispness and glaze. Highly recommend getting one if you have a sweet tooth!
Great pecan cinnamon roll!
Great ambience, clean decor, high ceilings, big windows, cosmopolitan patronage, fast service, delicious food, creative dishes (the sweet potato bowl was more like a kedgeree, just what I needed). I hope to try their gorgeous desserts some day.Menus are digital which loses the feel of a server who can make recommendations. I suppose I’m old fashioned in that I like a physical menu but perhaps that’s a COVID-19 thing, and I can adapt too. And the digital menus cuts down on movement of staff and clogging between tables which keeps the place feeling active and airy.
Such a fun, warm, and inviting atmosphere. I can in the afternoon on a Monday and it was HOPPING! They have a great system of servers and runners. I had the Midwestern omelet and was not disappointed, literally the best omelet I've ever had. Their drinks and pastries are as delicious as they are beautiful! I can't wait to return
So I stopped at your establishment this morning... as I walked in I said, good morning...to a person doing something at the register...there was no respond...I sat and waited ... no one approached me... not a single form of attention...Moments later, another person appeared went behind the counter and began fiddling with something...Still, no greeting, no acknowledgement...I continued to wait...A third person appeared with a tray of baked goods...and that person said not a word...As I sat at the table, I exchanged looks with the staff... and that did not crack a reaction from them...not a Word...The worst service ever!!!Let me restate...The worst service ever!!!Point... when I walk into the Cozy Corner dinner on Devon and Clark...as I walk in I get three good mornings ... a server is walking me to a table...menu in hand...a few moments later I have my cup of coffee...a glass of water ...Less than three minutes I am seated ... coffee in hand ... server taking my order...Through out my stay I have everal refills of coffee...sever checks on me...At your establishment as I rose from the table put on my coat ... and left ... guess what...Not even a word...Let me repeat...Not even a word...When I leave the Cozy Corner dinner...I get ... have a good day and thank you for coming in...Excellent service...When I left your place...all I wanted to do is leave you this message...Worst service ever...I will return to the Cozy Corner dinner...
The food and coffee are amazing! But not so much the service- unfriendly.This is one of the best you’ll find in Evanston. The brunch is always so fresh. Even the bread, jam and butter alone is so good! Some of The pasteries unfortunately are not as tasty as they look. I always find the workers to be unfriendly and not as helpful. Whenever I ask them to I explain a coffee they seem annoyed. This is probably my 20th time here and it never fails- unfriendly. But the food is worth it!
Perfect Latte. Baristas is an artist!! Breakfast and lunch much beyond ordinary. Healthy and tasty. Spanish omelette and gravlax outstanding.
Great food and service. chai lattes are specifically great and not too sweet. Traveled to the area for two days and ate here twice.
