Reprise Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Evanston Township

This review isnt of the place, its of one of the coffees they serve. Which if you go there you will find I would suppose .I found this roaster by reading Coffee Review online and thought I would give them a try. I am drinking the Pacamara Collaborative and into my second cup. First impressions are that this medium to light roast is bright and very clean. Its a delicate coffee, not over roasted but taken to the perfect roast profile .It is really quite wonderful. Its actually a distinct coffee and is a cross breeding of two coffee trees ,the dwarf Pacas and the taller Maragogype tree. Its a creamy, full bodied coffee with so many beautiful floral notes. I drink coffees from all over and this is a very pleasant surprise indeed. The first thing I noticed were the larger size beans which is typical of this coffee. Yeah Pacamara and Reprise. You also get my vote for one of the most beautiful coffee bags I have ever seen on this planet. Great job Reprise and thank you for supporting the farmers in your efforts. As they have a right to live a life without poverty and get paid a fair price for their coffee.. Simply put, you folks rock. Update: I drink coffee from all over the world. Ive been to Intelligentsia coffee shop, Klatch and Vivace to name a few in my travels I also have as my main coffee, a shop close by Sunergos Coffee. Another stellar coffee house with master roaster...Deeds Burlager. I found this coffee at Reprise so enchanting I ordered four more bags. Good job Reprise. You are a great coffee house in my opinion . The Pacamara is a great coffee.Great coffee is no accident it...

Disappointingly meh. Heard many good things about this coffee shop and have been several times but I’m underwhelmed each time. Ordered matcha today that was overly milky and when I asked if I could have it remade, I was met with a snarky attitude saying that’s how it should taste, that the matcha was high quality, etc etc and that the drink couldn’t be remade but more matcha could be added. The extra matcha did make the drink taste like matcha so at least there’s that. You would think a $7 drink would be made right the first time around.

Tried some of their seasonal flavors as well including the maple cinnamon latte and a limited time matcha with root beer flavor, didn’t finish either of them. Not sure if I just have bad luck picking flavors or what but I’m not a fan of any drinks I’ve tried from here.

Cool...

Been here twice, visiting from out of town. First time (2022) I set my bag and books down at a table, and asked to use the restroom and was told it was for paying customers only: which I was literally in the process of doing.

Incredible coffee, cool atmosphere, but not great customer service. Now, in April 2023, I brought a bag of coffee to the counter, it was clearly priced as $19.99, but rang up twice as much, to my surprise; the baristas acknowledged they didn't know why it was priced this way but would not honor the price.

I still purchased a different bag of coffee and it was, of course, amazing. Again, love the store, seems awesome...maybe just be prepared for some strange...
