Coralie Coffee is an adorable French-inspired coffee shop and bakery with a location downtown, as well as two locations in Evanston. The shop is filled with little knick-knacks on the walls and has a home-y feel. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and it was delicious. To go with my cap, I also ordered their chocolate almond croissant as recommended by the barista and it did not disappoint. My friend got a classic butter croissant and an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Both pastries were fluffy and full of flavor and the espresso tasted high quality. I’ve unfortunately never been to France, but this little shop makes me feel like I have!...And makes me want to go!
I would recommend trying Coralie Coffee if you’re looking for a new place to try or you want to be transported to Paris for a moment. Their downtown shop is located at 160 West Van Buren St. Their temporary hours are Monday-Friday 7:30am-12pm. Check out their website here!
