Kafein…
Kafein, a bohemian style coffee house at 1621 Chicago Ave in Evanston, IL may not be the best coffee house in the world but it has a special place in my heart. The reason I like it so much is that on my last visit there I won’t say I got hit on but this young man did let me read his poetry. I was very uh … surprised.
The place is crowded, and it is hard to get a seat especially late at night. Tables and booths are reserved for parties of two or more. But hey, if I hadn’t been sitting on a couch I wouldn’t have gotten to read that lad’s poetry, would I have?
The food is good, and the coffee is not bad. They do have a bottomless cup. Kafein stays open until the wee morning hours. The décor is entertaining. I have tried reading a couple of the books but most of them were filler types.
It is near the corner of Davis Street and Chicago Avenue, not too far from Northwestern University. It is a few blocks from the Davis Street el station. A lot of Northwestern students hang out there but there are “townie” clientele as well. By Flo Crew
