Disappointing. Been here twice and the service was paltry each visit. Today me and my fiancé walked in and said hello to the unoccupied barista. Asked the barista their recommendation and they said they had none and told me to look at the menu. Didn't bother staying and left. Employees there appeared like they didn't want to be there and very unwelcoming. We won't be back read more

The space is gorgeous, airy yet cozy, it feels so artistic and just cool. The matcha is good. Sadly I got the wrong order and just went with it but the coconut matcha was definitley a new experiece. The drink itself was refreshing and bright. It was not bad actually though i would not get this again. The salted caramel latte was also on that interesting flavor profile. I've learned I'm not an adventurous coffee drinker so I'd stick to their traditional menu. It's such a beautiful space I'd love to come back to read a book and relax for a little bit. read more

Vibe is pretty quiet in a weekday afternoon. Not many people are here & music is gentle. Tried their basil honey latte - pretty good. I think their beans are decent. The store does smell "sour" - you know the smell of coffee beans. It's a small store with maybe 15-20 seats. One barista. If you like a rather quiet spot with some decent coffee then this is your place. read more

A small coffee shop on Evanston's booming Main Street with genuinely authentic coffee and a fantastic barista who always brings great customer service. Part of me doesn't want to tell people about it because I'd rather keep it from getting too crowded when I go read more

Reprise is so underrated! I love their rosemary sea salt caramel latte. Also, their coffee is award-winning. The vibe is great for meeting up with a friend or getting work done. read more

I'd say this is an underrated coffee shop in Evanston! Very few people around me have been to there. I tried their "best latte" and brought it to a beach nearby. It literally deserves the "best" shout! The dining environment inside looks great as well, but I didn't have a chance to sit down with my laptop or book today. Will go there again if I come back to Evanston! read more

I've had one of the best cups of coffee in my life at Reprise Roasters Evanston. Axel (what a cool name, cool guy too) helped me out when I visited. I was eyeing the Yemen for pourover but decided to go for brewer's choice. He chose the SL-28 from Colombia (Edinson Argote) for me - the coffee that won Justin Bull 1st place in the Brewers Cup championship in 2025. And it's everything I want in a coffee. Complexity, sweetness, a little tartness, fruitiness paired with a good amount of funk (think wine-y, boozy, sparkly on the palette). Even the aroma... I just sat there sniffing my cup like a weirdo for a couple of minutes. Worth. I bought a 6oz tin and it's been my daily driver coffee since I got back home. YMMV obviously while dialing it in with whatever setup you have.. I kept brewing sour cups. I finally got close to what I tasted in that first cup with a Kalita wave / Baratza Encore grinder on setting 16. I kinda wish they had the recipe on their website, but I understand the leaning towards secrecy. Coffee, like many things in life, is highly subjective. That said, this was definitely one of the most memorable cups in 2026, and quite possibly one of, if not THE best coffees I've had in my life. read more

I came here with my family on a Sunday afternoon. The music was awesome! The service was really great as well. There was a bizarre incident with a suspicious woman who'd come in and started talking to my children and I was impressed with the staff and even other patrons who were so alert and quick to take action. I'd go back for the music and the employees! read more

Nice coffee shop with plenty of work space or even to sit and hangout. Service was really fast with just having 2 workers, I ordered 3 drinks and got it fairly quickly. Must check out their summer menu when you're there while it's available! read more

Reprise Coffee Roasters was a pleasant find - we came here to enjoy a nice cup of coffee, and this local shop did the trick. The cafe itself is small, but cozy and had a handful of counter and table seating - there were individuals who were studying, doing work, and/or just having a little get-together to do catch up. We ordered: +a Latte - with almond milk, extra hot +a Orgeat Latte - one of their Spring Menu items; this was prepared with house almond syrup, orange blossom water, espresso, and milk; I requested this to be extra hot Both drinks were good, and it came with a nice latte art. It seemed they had some baked goods, but they were all out when we went; I'm thinking these were popular during the morning rush. I loved the selection of thermos, accessories, and even pet treats that they had available for sale. The murals on the wall were beautiful! Staff were friendly; this seemed like a popular local spot, as there was a steady flow of patrons that were getting their beverages to go. Metered and lot parking available; if you're lucky, you may find some street parking in the residential areas. +good lattes +comfortable space +friendly service +metered and lot parking available read more

Great coffee shop. Uses local bakery shops. Coffee is fresh and organic. Very different and original recipes they made. Yes you can taste the flavour of your coffee or lattes. It is vegan, eco friendly, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly too. read more

Stopped by to grab a couple beverages while we walk around the area. The shop was cute and had ~15 seats inside and a small outdoor patio. My husband got the cappuccino which he said was good but not the best he's had. I got the lavender lemonade and was a bit disappointed because the lemonade was just Simply Lemonade from the grocery store. The color of the drink was nice but I honestly could barely taste the lavender. I think it would be a huge upgrade if they made their own lemonade. They did have other unique drinks that I would come back to try. read more

I'm in love with this place. The aesthetic was amazing, very calm and welcoming with beautiful stained glass art work. The baristas were helpful and kind. Knowledgeable about the type of roast and provided a great recommendation. The ube latte was good, was one of their seasonal drinks. The chai latte was also good according to my friend. Recommend 100%! support local read more

I've been back a few times since my initial review, and the prices have certainly gone up (b/c inflation) and sadly they don't have the bottomless coffee deal anymore (I can't imagine that was lucrative for them, so not surprising! lol). I didn't love the dark roast I had this last time, but it was fine. They do have some really creative and fun seasonal drinks, and the baristas are all very friendly and have great suggestions. While this isn't a place I would necessarily seek out on my own if I wanted to get work done (it doesn't quite have that vibe), it's not my favorite coffee (especially for the price), and parking can be a little annoying. But, it does work well to meet people for coffee and the service is good. And I do like that it's not in downtown Evanston, so when meeting fellow NU colleagues, we're less likely to run into our students :) read more

We love coffee. There's something special that happens when you have your first cup from Reprise. The moment the coffee touches your lips you realize the temperature is perfect. Perfect to bring out the flavor, perfect to drink without burning your mouth. This incredible care they put into each cup is worth every penny. Oh and they are not expensive. Then you can buy their award winning bean... oh it's not cheap, but when you learn what goes into it... you happily pay. If you appreciate coffee you owe it to yourself to visit Reprise. Stay for a pastry. read more

Stopped in for a coffee on the weekend and it was fairly busy. I opted for the coconut cream latte, although the decision was difficult with the variety of flavors. It had just the right amount of coconut flavor without being overpowering. I'll definitely be back in to try the Evanston favorite, caramel latte. read more

We've been going to plenty of coffee shops, in this area, and this has to be one of the best! Now you pay for what you get, this is one of the pricier places for a pour over but it definitely is one of the best pour overs I've had in a long time. My buddy got a latte and it was absolutely amazing (coconut caramel latte with almond milk, iced). The food was great as well, they had Danish and what not. Definitely recommend this place, I believe anyone would enjoy the drinks! The inside is a little smaller but it's nice read more

Very disappointing. Purchased the dark roast beans with a same day date. Next morning I opened the bag and the beans were dried out and pale. They ground up like little rocks and the coffee had no flavor at all. For 22.00 for less than a pound of coffee, this was a huge disappointment. Darkest Roast should be a nice rich flavorful coffee. read more

Delicious pastries and my favorite place to go for lavender lattes. They're always busy and sometimes you'll wait a little bit for your order, but I've always found it worth it. Very chill vibe, nice music. Can be a tad noisy since they're so busy. Still worth it because I can walk there from my house. read more

Great coffee. They have fixed the smell when you enter...I think. It used to smell like a sewer. The staff is very friendly except for this one manager, she is never friendly and creates a cold, unwelcoming vibe. It's not my go to place. The scones are very pricey. read more

I will go out of my way to come here for coffee. They also have the best golden milk latte in Chicago! My son is gluten-free and they are one of the only shops that offers a variety of pastries. It has a lot of space for seating and a good work environment for people who works remotely. Love it here! read more

I had the coconut cream latte and it was rich and delicious. The aroma of the coffee and the coconut is strong and engulfs your senses. My friend recommended me to check this place out and she described the lattes as "tasty" and she was totally correct. It's hard to describe, but they have some great lattes. I loved the vibe of the coffee shop and enjoyed sitting and staring out the window. The people working there were very nice as well! read more

Review for just their beans: Very mid. Tried two different bags of coffee beans, both extremely flavorless and requires larger bean to water ratio than normal to get a drink that tastes like coffee. Priced like a specialty coffee shop. Look elsewhere if you enjoy your light roast pour overs. Side note: cashier looked bored and uninterested when I went to go buy coffee read more

A coffee shop with a true variety of coffee. They have a good amount of flavored coffee drinks and different coffee beans roast. Accommodating most coffee enthusiasts. Batista is super nice and conversational. I would say I notice the difference in flavor but it does taste properly brew. Rich yet not bitter. read more

Stopped in for the third time since it opened because it's not in my neighborhood. First time about a year or more ago, I didn't care for the coffee. Second time, a few weeks ago, had a problem with the drink. This time, the medium half caf almond milk dry cappuccino I asked for was a small ("We only have one size"), and way too bitter, so I requested more almond milk. The barista was right in front of me making a drink but another employee stepped up to help me and said that was a question for the barista who "is busy behind the counter," even though he was right in front of me. So, I asked him again and he said he could top it off with cold almond milk (he put in about a tablespoon) or he'd have to charge me. So much for service with a smile! Now, the tiny coffee was delicious, but cold. Didn't stay because the seating isn't very welcoming although the murals are nice. read more

My partner and I stopped in last week to get coffee and I'm obsessed. We got oat milk lattes (I got bourbon vanilla and they got hazelnut). We ordered both half sweet and they were perfect. We also got some pastries which were delicious. The space is so cute and the baristas are wonderful. I can't wait to to back! read more

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! The coffee is very good, as are the baked goods (though pricey). If you're just grabbing coffee to go, I recommend it. However, if you want to sit and read, do some work, etc, it's a difficult work environment if you can't tune out the music. You'd better like the music that they play because it's VERY LOUD and the genre seems to be chosen at the whim of whichever barista is working. Sadly, this seems to be a trend with coffee shops lately. Several times I've been forced to blast the volume on my own earbuds to drown out what they are playing. Would much prefer a less forced atmosphere. read more

This used to be a great, pleasant coffee shop to visit. It appears that new ownership or management has changed direction. There is now a loud parrot (an actual bird) who constantly screams. Great for Instagram. Not so great for noise and air quality in a food establishment. Service is awkward, and communication with staff was at times uneasy. Coffee itself is recommended. Just don't plan to be comfortable during your visit. read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop. I love it because of how cute and quaint it is. I love the fact that they have a great menu along with macadamia milk. Not a lot of coffee shops had this option. I love coming to this place for this milk and the coffee is really good. The staff was very nice and and also helpful when selecting a drink. I will definitely be back to try more coffee during the fall. read more
