Customer Reviews
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!
Staff was super friendly! Tried both the earl grey tea and hot chocolate. Highly recommend stopping by!
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! Their pastries are from a local bakery in town. Very sustainable of them and that’s good bc their a solar cafe :) I guess you can get a quote on getting solar for your home there and Evanston is going all solar at some point, so good on them! Very friendly as well. I’ll definitely be back!!
Doug made an excellent rare tea sellers delicious green tea ☕️
Best coffee shop! Plus you can grab some solar while you’re there!
