Unicorn Cafe

This place has a nice atmosphere and is usually decently busy. Sometimes it is completely full and it is hard to find a seat, however the vast majorities of the times I've been here I've been able to find a place. The staff are very nice and the coffee is good. My only complaint is that it gets very very very HUMID inside to the point that the windows fog up if it is cold outside. Also the wifi is kind of spotty so you definitely can't always rely on it. Otherwise it's a good place to study and meet up near Northwestern campus.

Somewhat of a hipster place with interesting menu. Drink preparation was slow and I didn't get the size I ordered and the tea was a bit on the cooler side. Otherwise it was tasty. Atmosphere was rather practical than cosy.

This café was a wonderful find, with a perfect logo (who doesn’t love a unicorn?). Ambiance is calm yet vibrant, with an energetic, kind barista. Recommended!

Nice and cozy no nonsense cafe, don’t go in expecting a single source coffee or something like that. Go in for a good cup and nice chill environment.

Someone described this as a sort of unofficial student union for Northwestern, which seems accurate. They have a selection of coffee and sandwiches, and the demographic seems mostly like college students and faculty. I ordered one of the sandwiches, which was totally fine but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere is good, cozy enough to plunk down and work in for a few hours, though that wasn't my intention. I had a latte which was pretty good, but it's hard to get those wrong. One odd component is how they handle payment. They're effectively cash only. If you want to pay by card, you have to be charged up to the next $20 increment and given the rest back in cash change. This sucks. It meant I walked away with $7 something in cash I didn't need. Overall, it's an okay coffee shop,
