    Chocolate chip scone
    Leslie A.

    I have been buying bread cookies and scones since this location opened well over 20+ years ago. I am not sure why I have never done a review on them, but I am finally doing one now. First, I hope the pictures do justice to the fact that the bunny cookie for the Easter season and spring season is huge. It is a classic sugar cookie with colored frosting and it was tasty. Their scones are what I consistently come back because they are the size of my head, and they are the absolute perfect consistency and can be shared if you choose to do so. I however prefer to eat the whole thing in one sitting. When it comes to bread, have a great bread menu that rotates depending on the day and they also have some consistence that are always there every day. Some of my favorites are the honey wheat and the cinnamon chip, which makes great toast as well as standard white bread. If you don't buy bread and scones and cookies here. I know this is a chain so I believe it is consistent as far as the offerings and the recipes. I love this place and the people who work at this particular location actually very helpful and good people .

    David was really great when I came in to visit today to satisfy my craving for an apple fritter... next best thing is something I had many years ago the apple scrapple, but luckily they sell it in a mini version now'. I also got the sample the monkey bread, as well as an asiago pesto bread that was out of this world . It's a very spacious place with not a lot of people sitting in front of their computers .. but there's good tunes playing on the radio and David was wonderful. I could see him behind the counter, suggesting to somebody who is looking at the Irish soda bread that this might be the last that they're doing it and the guy swooped up both loaves. I intern suggested that the gentleman try some of the bread on the board because he didn't get to taste anything from a bread shop that his sister had been raving about being the only place that locally she buys fresh bread from. And turns out they build their own bread flour here maybe that's why it's so delicious and a little bit more pricey than you would expect... this gentleman and I discussed that if it's this good, it's worth it.

    Was on Central Street for lunch at Lush but was a little early so we walked into Great Harvest and we're blown away the Gigantic scones. These scones are big and heavy and could be thrown around as a stone for a Scottish Festival/Highland games. It's also a great selection here, I chose the chocolate covered chocolate chip scone. I cut into quarters and had that over a period of 4 days, I just warmed it up for about 14 seconds in the microwave. I would like to try all the other scones, especially the blueberry versions. As mentioned by other reviewers, the dude handling the register could be a little friendlier but that won't stop me from getting more scones.:)

    Fresh bread and all that accompanies that. Delicious sandwiches go hand-in-hand and they were. They were just great.

    Patisserie Coralie - Smoked salmon quiche

    The 1 hour and 15 minute drive to Evanston to have tea with my hija-amiga was absolutely worth it…read more Patisserie Corali is a tiny, very popular, and very crowded little gem that serves a beautifully simple high tea in a warm, quaint, country-French setting that instantly puts you at ease. We had a dedicated server who was kind, friendly, and young -- and her slight lack of experience only added to the charm. It felt human, unpolished in the best way, and refreshingly sincere. The classic three-tier stand delivered a joyful tasting journey: savory finger sandwiches, lovely cakes and sweets (including their excellent macarons and madeleines), plus warm buttery scones and tasty mini quiches served separately. It was a cornucopia of small delights; generous, comforting, and clearly made with care. The tea selection is also wonderful and thoughtfully curated. What truly stood out, though, was the lack of pomposity. No stiffness, no theatrics, just good food, good tea, and a feeling that you've been welcomed into someone's home. Easily one of the best high tea experiences in the Chicago area. Lovely, cozy, and full of heart.

    This is a darling and precious French cafe on the corner of Davis and Chicago Avenue in Evanston…read more I've been wanting to come to this cafe for ages. It's small and sweetly decorated (Eiffel Towers, rolling pins, Guy de Maupassant quote, stack of macarons tower), with cafe tables along the sidewalk. But it's the bakery cases that draw the eye, of course. A rainbow of macarons, stacks of croissants. Pastries like jewels. I ordered a tomato, basil & mozzarella quiche. They let me know it would take a few minutes to heat up. I also ordered a cafe au lait and almond croissant. The croissant was very large, a little more crispy than I like, and filled with a liquidy almond, not paste. It was very good, although not the best croissant I've had. The quiche was marvelous, soft and delicate, and basil scented with a flaky crust. It was not overly cheesy -- just the right amount. I ordered a slice of salmon quiche to go. I also selected a half-dozen macarons to take away. They were delicate, with a slightly crunchy outer layer and a sweet and flavorful center. I loved the Coralie Coffee flavor as well as the rest.

    Truly amazing experience ordering from Sweet Temptations! I initially reached out two weeks ahead…read morefor my cake order, but I was so busy I nearly forgot about it until two days before I needed it...smh ...Nonetheless, they were able to kindly accommodate my custom Leon Kennedy coquette themed order. Truly, they did exactly what I wanted; it looked amazing. Normally, I'm not really a cake person, but I loved the flavor and everything, too. It was so easy ordering with them, picking up and honestly, I feel like pretty affordable too. I paid $90 for my custom order. Overall, amazing experience, highly recommend.

    I have passed this place a million times but have two other bakeries that I like so I never went…read morein. Today I was craving a slice of cake and because this was in my path, I pulled over and went in. They have a number of cakes on display plus various cupcakes both in packs and individual, plus other pastries and holiday cookies and a small variety of cake slices, including tres leches, mocha and chocolate ganache. I chose the chocolate ganache and couldn't wait to try it. It was so moist and delicious and while I'm a chocolate lover, it didn't even need the chocolate icing! I also picked up a package of the holiday cookies as a gift for our neighbors and I saw the perfect cookie tray that I plan to go back and get to take to our holiday party at work this week. I must add that their prices are very reasonable for a bakery too!! I'm glad I stopped in and plan to be back as mentioned.

    Newport Coffee House - Coco brew (old version as 2025)

    Please bring back the old version of COCO BREW. I'm begging…read more I've been a regular since they first opened a few years ago, I think around 2019? Their Coco Brew used to be one of my absolute favorite coffee drinks for years, up until recently. I'm not exactly sure when the recipe changed, because as far as I remember it still tasted the same through 2025. I've been busy this year and haven't come as often, but the last three times I ordered it, it was completely different. And since it was made by different baristas, I'm assuming this is a recipe change rather than just inconsistency. (Check the photos to see the differences!) The old version was much lighter, mildly sweet, and had that lovely coconut milk aroma. It tasted fresh, smooth, and really balanced. The new version is totally different. The first thing I noticed was the color. It's way darker now. And the taste matches: darker, more sour, and with a strange almost medicinal aftertaste (reminded of some cough medicine..) The gentle sweetness and mildness are completely gone. Now it somehow tastes strong, sour, and watery at the same time. What happened?? Please don't change something that was already so good. Even the ice seems different now. It used to have smaller ice pieces that filled the cup more evenly and let the liquid move through, so you got that really pretty layered look with the coconut milk and cold brew. Now it's large chunks of ice just floating on top. Anyway, this is just my little heartbreak over a drink that used to be so beautiful and delightful. Other than that, the vibe is still nice as usual, maybe a bit more crowded than before. The decor is still cute, and I've always liked the woody interior. It's also one of the brighter coffee shops in Evanston, with really nice natural light.

    Love this bright, clean, and professional coffee spot! Plenty of free parking with a large lot…read moreattached, which makes stopping by super easy. The baked goods are incredible, and the baristas are friendly and easy to chat with. Lattes are beautifully made, and I really appreciate the care put into the latte art. A great place for quality coffee with a welcoming vibe.
