If there’s one thing you can’t miss at Cupitol – the new all-day spot that’s bringing European flair to Evanston’s cafe scene – it’s the Freddo, a superfrothy, punched-up iteration of an iced latte that’s sure to make you want to stay awhile. And that you can, thanks to the cafe’s morning-to-night menu of international offerings. Owner Sellia Georges, who spent nearly two decades living abroad, was inspired to craft a coffee shop that captured the laid-back vibe of all-day European cafes. Ample seating arrangements – from plush banquettes to lounge armchairs – provide the perfect setting for anything from study sessions to date nights.Our suggestion? Come back in the evening for a winter warm-up of kicky coffee-ribbed wings – the perfect accompaniment to the cafe’s signature cocktail, a potent blend of aged and over proofed rum, passion fruit, vanilla and lime.
