This place has changed ownership a few times, and I think people sorta stopped coming here because…read moreof experiences under previous management. Having eaten here under at least 3 owners over 13 years, the current management is the best I've experienced. The food and drinks are delicious, and the service was fast and attentive! We had 2 of the Belgian waffles (delicious), a steamed bagel sandwich (I didn't have any, but the empty wrapper suggests my wife thoroughly enjoyed it!), and I also tried a "Chainana" smoothie (Chai and Banana) which was heavenly. It was a beautiful spring day, and they have a lovely patio on a relatively quiet corner right on the outer limit of downtown Evanston. I couldn't be happier with my experience here, and would highly recommend anyone in the area looking for a place to chill and have a nosy come check it out!

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.

Typically, my reservations about bubble tea places are the following: 1) huge menu, no vegan…read moreoptions, and 2) half the boba don't fit up the straw. 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.

Went there this past Saturday with friends and glad that we got there when we did because the line just kept growing lol. I got the Sweet Potato bowl and added some smoked salmon to it and did not regret my choice at all. Flavorful, healthy yet, satisfying. And the pastry display caught my attention (as it always does anywhere I go) so just had to snag their newer item...the Walnut Chocolate Chip Banana bread which was a nice way to end this brunch. This is going to be a nice go-to brunch spot in downtown Evanston for me...and apparently the rest of Evanston from what I saw lol. Popular spot and I see why. Great location, great food and great ambiance.

I don't know how they do it, but their Concha special was delicious, as was their cookie butter and banana. If you can't eat a lot of sweet food, steal a bite or two off a friend's plate. We couldn't finish in one sitting. Go early to avoid the crowds, and make sure you make a reservation so you aren't left standing outside watching everyone else eat the French toast

Found out about this better than mid restaurant in Evanston. It may not be that big of a place but…read moreit has a surprisingly big menu if you can believe it. Mid Kitchen has a pretty big variety. Get something meaty or something plant based. The prices are pretty high but that's to be expected for the location and quality. Came at lunch. It's actually a pretty small place so it's always packed. There's only a few tables. At least that means people like it. Usually there's a long wait. A while later and we finally got one. It's about $15 for a sandwich, which is a lot but it's great stuff. I got the Vegan Club. This has avocado, along with plant based versions of bacon, chicken, and mayonnaise, along with lettuce and tomatoes. She got the Vegan BLT. This is almost the same thing but simpler. Got to say it has limited hours and space, which are the bad things about it along with it being expensive. It's got a lot for breakfast and lunch. They're closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

This time Uber wouldn't let me choose the tip amount, and I didn't realize they had charged nearly $20 for tip until it was too late to cancel this transaction. An outrageous rip-off -- and it's not like restaurants don't know Uber is shady and shoddy. I will never patronize this restaurant again. Is it really worth it to lose customers permanently just to save a few pennies on deliveries?

This sunny cafe is decorated with a really cute egg theme-the lights are fried eggs or eggs in a basket and the walls feature whimsical egg-related paintings. We all opted for breakfast items. Mom and I got omelettes with the potato hash and toast and my brother and Dad got different types of French toast. The coffee is from Julius Meinl! I'd like to try several other items here next time I'm in the area.
