for Pete's Sake — Restaurant in Evanston

I love this place. Pete is a friendly and good-natured fellow and Jen is one of my favorite people in town. She's always coming up with great pastries. All the staff are most pleasant. I like the large open space and variety of tables and chairs. Free internet of course.

If you just want coffee there's plain coffee and the lattes and stuff. If you want breakfast or sandwiches there's a decent menu.

Two nice features are the display of local art work and shelves of books that people contribute. If you want one of the books you pay what you think it's worth.

It's right downtown across from the county government offices and four blocks from the old restored roundhouse where they're also restoring an old steam engine. Serious railroad action there.

Lots of parking and about seven blocks from one...

We passed through Evanston on our way to Colorado and picked this cafe because of the name (lol) and also the food looked incredible in the photos.

We got breakfast sandwich bagles and they were incredible! Fresh and very clearly made from scratch to order.

The space reminded me of a cafe you'd find in Venice, CA. There is a yoga studio upstairs and art made by local artists for sale all around. The cafe has loads of space so we didn't feel like we were in anyone's business while we ate. The coffee was smooth and easy to drink.

But the gold star is really for the service!! I love to talk to people and get to know about the local life when we travel and this cafe in Evanston was easily one off the friendliest and most open places I've been too. If you're not sure where to go, choose For...
