Coffee Chronicles:  Lagoon Cafe, Evanston

A pleasant stroll along the lake led us to the Lagoon Cafe. A small, one man operation running out of a small field house like building just south of Northwestern, the place is all about location. To the east lie the retreating glaciers, an impressive mess of upturned ice fated to be yet another victim of global warming. Looking north is the University and immediately to the south a frozen lagoon that makes for a perfect skating rink. You could sip your cappuccino inside but with the sun shining and the wind still it’s hard to understand why.
