Crema's Take

“Windfree Solar Cafe is a cozy, newly opened neighborhood spot in Evanston where you can sip expertly crafted drinks—think spicy dirty chais and golden milk lattes—while the genuinely warm staff makes you feel like a regular on day one. The shop strikes that rare balance of homey charm and modern polish, making it equally perfect for a quiet afternoon with a matcha tea or a family outing with kids in tow, and yes, there's actually solar power involved if you're curious about the sustainable side.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

My partner and I stopped in with our 8 year old on Windfree cafe’s opening day and it is so nice! It’s cozy and homey, but everything is brand new and modern. My dirty chai was spicy and milky. I loved it. My son ordered a raspberry bar, which we all shared. It was so tasty!…

This is a great place. It’s cozy and charming! The staff and the owners are incredibly nice. They have great drinks and pastries. I had the Golden Milk and my wife had a latte. Both were excellent ! I will definitely be back… this is my new spot!
