Unicorn Cafe is a true find in Evanston. It is a homey neighborhood coffeehouse with lots of dark wood tables perfect for catching up with a pal, reading the paper, or (if you are one of the many Northwestern regulars), studying. The menu is terrific, with lots of great drink options (specialty coffees and teas, apple ciders, Italian sodas, and the most delicious raspberry lemonade), fresh baked goods (cookies, muffins, a variety of bagels, and desserts), and fresh fruit. However, the BEST thing about the Unicorn is their panini sandwiches!! The turkey panini comes with cheddar, tomato, and basil on warm foccacia. Another fave is the healthy hummus plate: hummus, pita, and crunchy raw vegetables. If you are stopping for coffee, breakfast, or lunch anywhere in Evanston, make sure it's here!
Pros: food, drinks, ambience, location, fun and laid-back crowd
Cons: nothing!
