The Almond chocolate croissant melts in the mouth. One of my favorite coffee places in Evanston. The tables are tiny though.

Good place to quench you thirst. Variety of coffees, teas and pastries. With sitting outside and inside you can sit down and chill.

Had a phenomenal Nutella latte this morning along with a delightful almond croissant. Also tried one of the apricot macarons and it was heavenly. Great ambience and friendly staff! Great place to stop for a morning coffee and pastry. Will definitely be back!

The first thing I noticed were the mini quiches in the display when I walked in. They have a good variety that were flavorful and my family enjoyed them.I got the croissant sandwich which was good. The croissant was a little overbaked (dark) for my taste on the outside but still a consistent flaky croissant nonetheless.The coffee was a big disappointment. It was way too tannin. If you are prone to acid stomach from over extracted coffee, I would not buy a cup here.So my disappointment came when I asked about the baguettes. I asked if the baguettes were sourdough, made with yeast culture vs. packaged quick rising yeast.The person assisting me answered something to the tune of I dont know, it is a baguette.I realize a patisserie is not necessarily a bakery but still, really?9 hours later I still have the sour mouth from that cup of tannin.I am very saddened because I wanted to like this place; it is very hard to find a good patisserie in the Chicago area.There hes a lot of physical charm to Pâtisserie Coralie.However, coffee is a compliment item to pastries that you cannot get wrong.It is like selling the best Ultra 4K television with only VHS machines on the shelves for content.

Overall: Given the ambiance I expected great flavors, but was unfortunately left disappointed and with a hefty bill.The good: The bread for the prosciutto and brie sandwich was everything youd expect from a patisserie, and the ambience matches that expectation as well. There isnt a ton of seating, but thats almost a good thing. Theres a decent amount of sweets and drinks to choose from.The not-so-good: The food as a whole was disappointing. The prosciutto and brie sandwich had minimal amounts of either, and it was hardly worth $8 (not to mention the sandwich itself was tiny). The Paris on my lips did not match the description at all and was a waste. There were no lime zest or mint tastes at all, the strawberry confit was minimal at best, and the whole thing just felt like eating icing off a wedding cake (which Im not against, but thats not what I ordered for $7).Food: 5/10Atmosphere: 8/10Service: 7/10

This is my go to place in Evanston for a great (and I mean luscious) latte, wonderful croissants, cozy indoor or outdoor seating, and a warm, sit down book reading afternoon. The manager Taylor makes a world class latte (as does Alice, Josh and the other baristas) that feels more like a rich dessert than a drink. Alice is warm and welcoming, and makes sure you feel comfortable and pleased with the experience. The baguettes have that Parisian/European taste that must come from a special wheat they use, or maybe its just the love they put into it. I love spending my time in Patisserie Coralie. Its not just Paris. It is Love.

This place is a hidden gem in Evanston. This was my first time wandering downtown Evanston and we noticed this cute French bakery. Too bad due to covid you aren’t allowed to sit indoors because the inside is cute. The pastries look amazing and they have a wide selection of warm drinks. They do have outdoor seating but it is very chilly out. We got a pear tart and a caramel apple dome pastery. I highly recommend trying the caramel apple dome! Would definitely come back to try more pastries and support an awesome small business!

This cafe is quite adorable, but I will say my visits have become less frequent given that the ambiance has hanged-- Im afraid the young lady at the register will put the owner out of business. She did not make me feel welcomed, and this attitude can make or break an experience.

A dream come true for a sweets lover like myself. Other-wordly crepes and a nice atmosphere to relax or read a book.

Cozy place for a cappuccino with a sandwich. I wish they had other types of bread (healthier), besides the baguettes. And also perhaps cleaning the tables more thoroughly. We sat at the corner table with large chairs by the window; and there were some stains. The salmon sandwich was good, we enjoyed.

Tasty Parisian sandwiches, delicious pastries, coffee, tea and other interesting drinks. I crave their cappuccino and lavender macarons and those beautiful fruit tarts with the beautiful fresh fruit under clear gel. And the croissants, with chocolate and those fantastic ones with I think sweet almond stuff inem! Im getting hungry..

Very good cafe! Very Warm place!

The patisserie was a lovely surprise in Evanston. We ordered three Le Royale breakfast option. One with baguette and a breakfast pastry and the other with two breakfast pastries. The baguette was good, nice shell and soft inside. Of course the butter was on point for a French bakery. The butter croissant was large and oddly shaped, not it was flaky, had a nice firm shell, and tasted good. The almond croissant was very nice. The almonds covering it were perfectly toasted. Delicious. Nice service. Very popular by the number of people filling through.

It was good could have been better. Price a bit high.

I loved this place. I wish I lived closer to it! I would be hanging out there everyday for work, study, or just to read a book.Nice music thats not obnoxious or too loud. Really friendly owner and staffs. Everything I drank and ate there was above expectation and the average pâtisserie.They have a tea time tasting too. Reservation is required though. I cant wait to go back to try it.

Macaroon is really good, I had Madagascar Vanilla Bean and Pistachio :)

Lovely place. Love the French products wall. I just wish they had more dairy free treats. I was able to get some coconut macaroon yummies but it would be great if they made a cool pastry

Terrible service. Rude staff took them 30 minutes to give us cold food then got upset when asked to heat it up. Then proceeded to heat it up in the microwave #classy #FrenchBakery

Très Bien! Delicious cold brew and loved the dreamy salmon spinach quiche. ♡

I am amending a previous review to show the change that was made there. I visited three days ago and it was noticed. Thank you to the staff and great job on the food and drinks. Merci beaucoup.

Dont expect a good tasting latte, because their roast tastes like it was burnt. I bought a caramel latte, and I didnt like the way it tasted and I let the barista know, who said she would make the exception and make me a different drink. Its not an exception, its what you should be doing for all your customers, but ok. Another lady came in saying she didnt like the way the coffee tasted,( which was my complaint), and tell me why the barista was like thats the first Ive heard that, and saying things like Oh cant please everyone. No you actually can please some people if you maybe cleaned your coffee makers and used actual good roast. Also the store is nasty, pay attention to the un wiped tables and floors. Really living up to the french stereotype. Moreover she said the customers here werent raised right.

Tried a chocolate almond croissant today and it was exquisite! Friendly and helpful service, as well.

Really nice and authentic French Cafe.

Products are ok, a bit overpriced. Customer service very poor, I am talking about the guys from the cashier, they definetly dont love what they are doing, and have to learn a lot about how to work in service industry and how to welcome their guests. Very uu pleasant personal working there.

I really enjoy visiting every time I head up north to Edgewater. Its become a bit of a ritual for me. I particularly enjoy their quiche & a medium coffee. The staff has been friendly and cordial. They have taken cleanliness seriously and I feel great about supporting a beautiful little shop that brings me a moment of pleasure during a very challenging time.

This place is cute and there are many great pastry options. But today I wanted to try 7 veggie soup. It looks like broth very thin. And the size of a cup was max 3,5 ounces. Tastes very sour and couldn’t eat because it might be not fresh!

Definitely a very nice delicate French bakery, we had everything in our visit and was really yummy & authentic French.

I love this place. It may be expensive but they have wonderful tastes of food. They make almost everything themselves. I pretty much come here every Saturday.

Very authentic French bakery. Delicious and charming.

Cute little French cafe in downtown Evanston serving some delicious ice coffee and almond croissants.

Classic French style patisserie. Great pastries in a cute setting.

The first time I came to this cafe, I ordered French cocoa, tasted awful like water, sweet and also warm.

Ive come to Coralie multiple times in the past, but today was a rather horrible experience. Their store hours on Google says that they are open at 7:30AM on Sunday (see picture). So I got there at 7:30AM sharp, because I was hoping to place a large order for a special occasion. When I got there, the door was locked, but there were still two employees inside. I knocked a couple times to get their attention, but the lady with glasses at the register glanced at me once and completely ignored me. As a business owner of a food establishment, I understand that you may not be ready to open on the dot, so I waited outside for a few minutes. Still nothing.I was standing outside in the cold for 15 minutes, and the lady with glasses at the register did her very best to completely ignore me the entire time.Finally I got so fed up that I started knocking repeatedly and the lady just motions for me to call the phone. Apparently their answering machine says that they are open at 8:00AM on Sundays, not 7:30AM, like advertised on Google. Note that it took 15 minutes for her to simply acknowledge my existence and produce a gesture.I started knocking more, and the baker comes to the door and points to their business hour sign. Its in French. I understand and appreciate that youre going for a whole French aesthetic, but it doesnt do any good for non-French speaking customers.Finally the lady with glasses comes out, and says very condescendingly, You can also just Google it. I tell her I already did and that Google says they are open at 7:30AM. She shrugs and walks away. Let me repeat, after completely ignoring me for 15 minutes, she just shrugs and walks away like its not any of her business. How hard would it have been to do anything at any point earlier?The lady with the glasses also said something to the effect of how its illegal to be open earlier? Well, Bennisons was open and happy to take my business. I wont be coming back to Coralie. Im sorry, but you guys lost a faithful patron to your business because of your total lack of customer service and utter rudeness.

Delicious espresso, cappuccino, iced tea but pastries were so so. Staff very pleasant. . Place needs more attention to cleanliness.

The food was excellent, the service was wonderful and the atmosphere was relaxing.

This is a great locally owned spot to grab a cup of tea, coffee, croissant, macarons, pastry, etc. As local Evanstonians, we come here many weekend mornings to sit outside, sip our drinks, people watch and discuss our business ideas. The service is consistently good (it can be a tiny bit slow if you happen to come during a rush - no fault of the employees). The younan black iced tea is brewed well, the pastries are very tasty, the coffee, while decent and fresh, can be bitter. Overall one of the better if not best cafe in town. So why four stars? The coffee should be exquisite, but just leaves a bit to be desired in our opinion. Definitely worth visiting/patronizing though.

High tea was delicious and service was amazing! We will definitely be back.

Get the like tart, its FANTASTIC. if you come to Evanston, come here

I cant recommend Coralie enough, both for a quick bite on your way to work or for a delicious and elevated catering order for your team. We receive deliveries from Coralie several times a month, and our clients rave about their pastries. Fiona is extremely pleasant and easy to work with, and ensures that all of our deliveries are on time and high quality; it seems shes never too busy or too tired to go the extra mile. In-store, Coralies employees are friendly and well-informed. For special events, the staff and pastry chef have worked together to produce custom-designed macarons with our company logo iced on. Its very clear that everyone here takes great pride in their product and in their customer service. We will continue to use Coralie both for our routine catering and for special events.

Local French patisserie, they have a number of flavors of macarons. Also loved the savory spinach and cheese croissant.

Me and my friends really enjoyed the food. Its very yummy at a very reasonable price. Thank you again. Highly recommended to friends and families!

Beautiful spot you cant miss in Evanston. The chocolate almond croissants are delicious.

D9nt know what happen to the staff but they are disorganise, we waiting long time for our coffee and we are the last one to recieve our order,we are not the last one to order..so sorry we come here often,love the place but really disorganise.

So good and the staff was super helpful and kind.

Awesome pastry shop. Strongly recommend

Casual sit in, comfortable European style bakery. Coffee is great and staff is caring.

Everything is freshly baked and the danish i got was pretty good

Best coffee in Evanston with the extra special bonus of scrumptious sandwiches and pastries!

Absolutely love their dark chocolate truffles and hot chocolate!

Great place, truly authentic French experience and food. Definitely covid friendly too!

I appreciate the variety in their coffee menu and the authenticity of how the drinks are made. I just didnt really like the coffee... It seemed too bitter... Makes me question the quality of the coffee. ( I LOVE good black coffee... So it wasnt that I just cant handle real coffee)The place is adorable and well kept, and the staff was lovely.

Taste of Europe. Hey Paschal

Love this coffee shop! Have the Parisian coffee, oj and pastry.

Great looking shop filled with tantalizing selections.Love the spinach and feta pastry serve warm.Kudos team Coralie!

The croissant here is the the best!!!

Delicious and whimsical!

Coralie has recently started doing afternoon tea (yes - proper afternoon tea!), and I was so happy to give it a try. It was overall wonderful. The sandwiches and sweets were delicious, and there were so many tea options, which were also delicious. Our server was super nice (I feel so bad for forgetting his name but he was working at noon on 3/5!), and we felt very relaxed and had a great time. My one and only complaint is that the design of the teapots is a little wonky, so its nearly impossible to pour your tea without spilling. Otherwise, great experience and VERY reasonably priced.

Great place to get a sandwich!

Great place to grab a quick snack and relax

Great coffee, croissant can be baked better but I still love it!

What a wonderful time we had Coralies. The spinach and feta Chausson was delicious. The mocha delightful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I visit every time I am in Evanston. I only wish I lived closer.

Quant and eclectic...loved it.

I really love Coralie! The owner and staff are very friendly and get to know you once you go there a couple times. They even get to know your order!I really love their almond and ginger tea. They are so unique!Also, their croissants are the best I’ve ever had! Even after spending some time abroad in Paris in college, I stand by this! They are perfectly flakey and perfectly soft where they need to be. Their quiches are also out of this world as are their macarons.Their location is also superb and right next to my favorite salon, Steven Papageorge Salon, and on the corner of Chicago and Davis. Could it get any better?! This is 100% my go to coffee shop in Evanston!

Decent coffee and pastries. Very noisy if you eat outside.

Great coffee and pastries. Support a local business!

Excellent French baguette. Other than Bennisons this place is a favorite for the baguette.

Stopped by for a cappuccino recently...and it was perfect! I look forward to coming back to support this local business.

This place is awesome. The French feeling is all over. The head and cheese croissant was out of this world. The macaroons were phenomenal. I brought treats home for mu boyfriend and guests. They were thrilled! Im definitely going to go back!

Their food has a nice taste and not so expensive!

Recommended: Paris on the lips

So far, the best croissants Ive ever had, along with the best hot chocolate. I love the variety of pastries to choose from and all the delicious macaron flavours to try! Definitely a place that I will keep coming to in the future.

Not only does this place have awful hot chocolate and baked goods, but the staff is so slow and pretty rude and the cafe itself was freezing (not so great when youre going to a place to get out of the cold). Their behavior the last time I was there definitely lost them my business, which is unfortunate as it was near a place I go to every week and was hoping to make this cafe my main base of operation. But I refuse to give a place like this my money.

While walking through Evanston a friend and I stopped here for a light lunch. I ordered the salmon quiche and a matcha latte. My friend ordered the ham & cheese croissant. Our orders came quickly and we sat outside. My quiche was outstanding. The crust, made with French butter, was perfect. The filing had a perfect texture and flavor. The size was exactly right for a light lunch. My matcha latte was small for the price but delicious, no sweetener added, which is how I like it. September 2020 they had limited indoor seating and several tables outside. I will make a point to come here again as several items on their menu look wonderful. They offer catering and private tea parties according to their flyers. Their macarons have only natural coloring.

Poor customer service. They have a sign at the door asking for local business support; we offered them support and got mean cold attitude in return. The man behind the counter seemed to be unhappy for us asking for our receipt stating we will get it at the end of the line. No greetings, No gratitude for the purchases, and No receipt given at the end of the line. Plain pastries that tasted as if they were sitting over the counter for hours and Super Acidic coffee.

I love Paris and this cafe brings me back! The French themed exterior of this cafe captured our attention and the inside did not disappoint! The French themed interior with elegant chandeliers hanging on top was something else! What an amazing location to chill!Everything we tried out here were amazing! The coffee was silky, sharp and balanced! In particular, Paris on My Lips, a Velvet red cake shaped like a kiss and it was an amazing cake. It was firm but soft, creamy and balanced.This place instantly became our favorite cafe after one step in! This is a going to be our go to cafe in the future when we want a cozy relaxing space to enjoy exquisite desserts and wonderful coffee!

I absolutely love their croissants especially the almond one it’s just incredible!

Terrible service. Have come for years and enjoyed Coralie. Today ordered the Royal (breakfast pastries, coffee, and large fresh orange juice and was told that despite the sign saying otherwise (large), there is only one size of orange juice. I had to show the person that the sign said small for one offering and large for the Royal. Then the orange juice was clearly off—a bad orange or something made it go bad. That can happen. But instead of addressing it the guy said that the chef tried it and said it was fine.Ridiculously poor handling of the situation. Too bad. I had previously liked the place.

Went for High Tea today...Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful...Taylor was fantastic. They also put together a gluten free option for my daughter which she said was delightful...Would highly recommend...

This is such an adorable, cozy, light-filled cafe. They have great french pastries and sandwiches here. I wouldnt come here for the coffee alone--its really the food and atmosphere that make this place amazing--but the coffee is pretty good too :).

Great vibes, great service, wonderful staff!

Great European atmosphere, excellent coffee

Absolutely the most authentic French baguette sandwich youll get this side of the Atlantic. The lattes are made to perfection too. Many sweet and savory treats to choose from here. A lovely touch of Paris in Evanston.

👍

Lovely and quiet place to enjoy a coffee date with your friend. The pastry is top-notch. Truly in love the croissant. And you get unlimited refills for brewed coffee.Also keep in mind it has a loyalty program. Just ask for the card and make sure you get it punched every time you order.

Good: Decor is perfect, seating is ample, sandwich was good, some treats were good. Great place for a coffee or lunch date. Very good service. Bad: macaroons unfortunately not enough flavor.

Of course, nothing actually tastes like it does in France, but seven bucks for fresh OJ, coffee, and choice of Viennoiserie would be welcome in Paris. My squash quiche was quite good -- not overcooked, though I had to decline automatic microwave reheating in favor of longer regular oven time.

My macaroons were stale :( I was having such a bad day and was looking so forward to being able to have a nice sweet treat after work. When I asked if I could get fresher macaroons I was sadly denied, not even any other type of compensation. Disappointed and sad :/

Place is so busy that staff cant keep up with cleaning tables. As a customer, expect to scrub down your own table before sitting down. Coffee is great, though. Ive had the cafe latte and the mocha. The environment is also very pretty. I think if there was more staff, the place would be more welcoming. I probably will go back, but Id have to have a lot of patience.

This is my favorite and in my opinion the best cafe in all of Evanston. The atmosphere here is relaxed but classy and is pretty amazing. They have the best coffee, the drinks come in cute mugs, the staff is quick and courteous. The location on the corner has a nice view, the furniture is well organized, unique, and very comfortable. It is usually full but we can usually find a place to sit!

Very knowledgeable and nice staff, they have a great tea selection there and I was provided with a very interesting and helpful info about it. I liked how people who work there are genuinely interested and invested in their work.

When we visit our daughter at NU, this is our morning stop. As Europeans by birth we enjoy the excellent coffee and the good croissants, making the longing for France and its food real. We now feel practically part of the family ever since meeting la petite Coralie. Its all adorable! Thank you for being there. We will miss you after graduation....

The quiche was very hot upon serving, but tasty once it cooled. The macaroons were excellent.

The house herbal teas here are possibly the best Ive ever had

Its a bit cramped inside. But the pastries are delicious and the coffee is really good. Service is friendly as well. A great place to stop and grab a treat if youre out and about. Totally recommend it!

Had two macaroons and breakfast pastries for the next day. Both were very good and reasonably priced. Havent tried a large selection of their food but if what Ive had is a guide what they have is good.

Disappointed. Got a large cappuccino to go and the cup was less than half full. While its true cappuccinos have a lot of foam, it was very clear this was just a standard size cappuccino placed in a larger cup and sold at a markup. The cappuccino itself tasted fine, but nothing special.

Amazing quality desserts freshly made every day. Havent tried the sandwiches yet though. Great friendly service with a relaxed ambiance.

A hidden Evanston gem! Fantastic bakery, really kind staff, and a great energy. Whether youre working on a paper or destressing with a couple friends of espresso. Absolutely try the almond croissant if you can!

What a find!! The food, drinks, service amd atmosphere is fantastic. Well definitely be back. 😊

Ive been here three times now. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is really great. The croissants are good (not top notch) and the pastries are beautiful and delicious. We like the macaroons, but they are inconsistent from flavor to flavor.
