I had no intention of eating all three at the same time. Loved the top two layers of the raspberry dessert. Would have preferred the bottom to be soft vs the chocolate crunch. In fact, it was so hard I could barely get my fork through. I took a bite of the double chocolate gluten free cookie. Kind of like a shortbread cookie with filling. Not much to say about this. I like gluten. A chocolate chip cookie. Not a tough one. It was dry and I swear it was sitting in that jar for 4 days. Total bummer. I threw it away. The piece of cake and coffee came right away to counter. I sat down. Then about 5 minutes passed and my two cookies just showed up. I went back up to ask the guy at counter for them. Wouldn't you think he could have brought to me since it was not busy and he made me wait or maybe just forgot about me. It is time to repaint and tidy up. As for the baked goods. Needs a major step up to make it. If I can't get a chocolate chip cookie that I would eat. Total loss. I pride myself of being positive for reviews. I just can't with this one.

Was in the area for a baseball game and hungry for a sweet treat so looked up gelato on Yelp and…read morewow was my mind blown! I did not expect to find such a nice place.

(Still enjoying) The kiosks are usually pretty confusing but it went pretty smoothly- make sure you scroll all the way and answer all the questions. The gal making the beverages has a lot to contend with. She was working solo and some friends showed up in the thick of it but she kept her cool and made amazing boba masterpieces. I feel everyone should spend an hour in her shoes to understand a challenging work experience. I appreciate her skills! The space is quiet and cute.

Yummy açaí that comes with unlimited toppings. The size is definitely much smaller than expected,…read moreand they were a little skimpy on the fruit. I ordered to-go and the açaí had already melted so it was more of a smoothie bowl than an acai bowl. All the ingredients were fresh and high quality though. Pick up was convenient and smooth. There was just one person working at the time I stopped by around lunch time. This is a nice acai option for the Evanston area. But my favorite acai option is Bonita Bowl in Park Ridge. They have different base options and their sizes are much larger. Plus they stuff the top with lots of fruit.

I'd love to give this more than one star but to be honest, I walked in trying to get an açaí bowl…read more The menu does not have a description of what goes into the bowl so I asked and the gentleman behind the bar but he could only tell me "layers" and açaí. Like... there is a picture here what is in this picture? "layers" Was all he could tell me. I will say there was a language barrier so that contributed to my inability to make sure I got what I wanted. My suggestion would be go to another smoothie bar that has better descriptions on their menu. This one was quite confusing on all levels.

A drip coffee drinker! And a refill here is free, yay. I like a healthy breakfast and there's plenty of that, and also sweet French toast options. Today I had the No. 5 Breakfast Sandwich and I would just like to see the breakfast sandwiches on a bagel instead of a croissant. Lots of seating from tables, to casual comfy chairs, gives great options. Outdoor seating, as well. Is Cupitol a chain? It should be!

In the sweet side, I love the coconut cream pie and the cherry pie (when you can get it). Somethings can be hit or miss, but I argue it's more a question of your personal taste than the objective quality. I've had things I didn't like but nothing that was poorly made. It does get crowded, especially on weekends. This place draws families, professionals, Northwestern students and everyone else you can think of. In the summer, the outdoor patio is lovely.

Vibes are low-key and diner-esque - some of the seating/tables could use some upgrades/repairs (unsturdy) but no major complaints. Service at the counter is usually friendly, though can sometimes be a bit slow. Love coming here and will continue to visit.

Still my favorite boba place in Evanston. The order ahead and pick-up option is super convenient…read more When you order in person, the egg waffle can sometimes take a bit so I recommend just doing pick up. This place is known for their cheese foam and lemon teas so I highly recommend giving those a try. There aren't a lot of seats in the shop so most people just sit for a bit and then move on. It's not a place you and sit and study for a while. The employees are very nice and professional.

Neither is an issue at Happy Lemon, where you can substitute in oat milk or almond milk. And whether the boba are smaller or the straws are bigger, it just works -- you're not left with a cup full of boba when you finish the drink. This place is a good go-to for drinks and snacks, so much so that I'd choose it over nearby competitors.
