Kafein has a pretty nice atmosphere compared to most of the coffee houses in Evanston because it's unique in decor, dark, and somewhere to go if you want to chat. It's also a nice place to hang out an...

Great place to chill at night, esp. in the summer. It has a very college town cafe feel to it. Sometimes there are too many young NU students and it gets so loud, but its a great place to just talk...

Don't go here if you're trying to get away from Northwestern students. The bratty Freshmen who bring their high school ignorance and obnoxious behavior to college hang out here. There was also...

This cafe will always bring back memories of late night coffee getaways for me, so therefore I hold it in special regard. For a suburban cafe it is hands down original. When you are looking at the posters...

It didn't turn out to be the quiet, "find-a-nook-and-write-on-your-laptop-while-they-keep-bringing-you-coffee" place I was expecting based on other reviews. However, it did turn out to be a place of energy,...

this swanky place has been around forever and a day. the coffee is great, staff friendly, and the ambience exquisite. If your looking for a cozy number to commuincate over coffee, look no further.
