Cupitol Coffee & Eatery

Very nice coffee shop with tasty lattes, friendly staff and a spacious layout allowing for ample seating. I appreciated the reasonable prices, the warm lighting, and the nice mix of guests. Room for improvement: The blueberry scone could have been better (neither did it taste like blueberry nor did it have the right dough consistency to qualify as a scone) and the closing time of 4pm is too early. Apart from that: a clear recommendation!

I've been looking for a good lunch spot near-ish to campus. This place seems to fit the bill and stands out amongst most of the places I've gone in Evanston. I had a lovely pistachio almond croissant and cold brew. The food from the kitchen looks great too and I'm excited to try. Seems like it can get very busy with not enough places to sit at those times, but was decently open when I went an hour and a half before close. Biggest issue was the cup my cold brew came it - it was horrifically dirty and I'm shocked the person pouring my drink didn't see it. Like it looked like it had been used to make a matcha latte before, as there was a big splotch of green crust in the cup. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought it was just at the top (above where my drink was), but nope the cold brew had a hint of matcha. That's pretty gross!

We came here after playing some pickleball, and everything was fine. The soup was serviceable and the salad was a salad. I do appreciate that there was ample seating when we came on a rainy day, but the food and drinks seemed middling. Not too expensive which was appreciated, but I do think there are some places that I prefer nearby.

This place is absolutely amazing. The space itself is impressively large, offering plenty of room with super comfortable seating that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your time. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of cozy and lively, with a cute and inviting design plus lots of lounge-style seating for groups or solo visits. Service is quick and friendly, making you feel welcomed right away. Once seated, the food arrived in no time, and it was nothing short of delicious. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared, adding to the overall great experience. A fantastic spot to hang out, enjoy a meal, and soak in a warm and welcoming vibe.

This is a really good spot for coffee and they also have an excellent selection of pastries and other treats. I got the cinnamon roll and it was very good. The sweetness of the cinnamon roll perfectly complimented my mocha coffee which was excellent as well. This can be quite a busy place, but it's only because the coffee and food are so darn good. The wait wasn't really bad at all, only 10 minutes, and it was well worth it. So if you're in Evanston you can't do much better than this place for your morning coffee. Highly recommended!
