"Best brunch in Chicagoland. The food is incredible and the prices are reasonable. My brother-in-law ordered the smoked salmon brandade, which it was so beautiful I had to take a picture. I had the classic breakfast with sausage and sourdough toast, and I will be coming back soon to have it again."

"I was the wedding planner for my brother's wedding on October 11th at the Dawes House in Evanston, IL. EvaDean's made the cake and it was absolutely delicious! EvaDean's was fantastic to work with from start to finish. The bride and groom raved about the cake tasting experience, they contacted me to confirm delivery ahead of time, and on the day of the wedding the EvaDean's team delivered the beautiful cake promptly and efficiently. Our guests absolutely raved about how delicious the cake was. We had a yellow cake with raspberry and pistachio cream and a buttercream frosting. The flavors blended beautifully, and the icing was so light and fluffy it was hard to be believed. I HIGHLY recommend EvaDean's to anyone needing beautiful and delicious cake for a large event."

"My mother and I visited EvaDean’s for lunch after a doctor’s appointment nearby. I had never been, but driving by the cafe looked so cute we decided to stop for lunch. We decided to sit in the cafe as opposed to the bakery. We were seated very quickly, and the waiter brought us water and greeted us immediately. I had the tuna melt, which was delicious. My mother had the vegetable quiche, which was fresh, decadent and the crust was perfectly crisp. The side salad was also nicely dressed. We didn’t stay long, but very much enjoyed the meal. It’s clear this place is popular (it was absolutely packed on a Thursday afternoon), and I see why! The atmosphere was very cute, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The patio also looked very nice - if it had been warmer out we would’ve sat outside. We also stopped to see the bakery side, and all the baked goods and sandwiches looked delicious and fresh. I will definitely be stopping by next time I’m in the area!"

"Wow! Their overall service has gone way down over the years. We've had wonderful experiences with the cake decorating in the past - ordered two beautiful birthday cakes from them. However this year, we made a very simple birthday cake and cookie order in which the end result was completely underwhelming. In addition, multiple clerical mistakes were made and when they were brought to the management's attention, there was no response. Poor decorating and even worse customer service. If you are going to charge a premium, then you really need to deliver. Unfortunately, this was not what we asked for nor was it worth the high price. We will not be returning. (If you are curious, the picture shows a cake top that is not flat, bulky fondant work - the F1 logo was supposed to be much skinnier and smaller, fondant red ropes around the sides that are extremely uneven, a printed checker pattern - was not supposed to be printed edible paper and has a seam right in the front, and last minute writing that is squished on top - was supposed to be on the cake base and is sloppy)"

"This was a good finding. We were very pleased with the food, it was very good and beyond expectations. The crepe with apples was delicious. It has a German taste, if you're familiar with it, but I think the combination of caramel and cheese cream was very good. Not the usual sugar bomb, well balanced My eggs Benedict were perfect. The hollandaise sauce was one of the best I've tried, and the muffin was so buttery and rich. The service was good, it just was weird to have to ask for a spoon twice after being served with our mochaccino and hot chocolate. Anyhow, nice people and great food. Very recommended"
