Evanston Pour

evanston pour takes its coffee seriously, and that focus shows. dempster street isn't a destination strip, which means the people walking through the door on a weekday morning are mostly there because they actually want to be, not because they stumbled in between tourist stops. that kind of quiet regularity tends to sharpen a place. you're not getting a performance here, just coffee that someone thought carefully about before it reached you. independent shops in evanston have to work harder for loyalty than their counterparts a few el stops south, and this one has clearly done that work. if you're in the neighborhood and the morning's still young, an espresso drink is the move.
