Our Story

We are food service professionals who love freshly brewed coffee, homemade pastries, inspired sandwiches and salads and most of all making Curt’s Café a welcoming and comfortable home away from home. We strive to use local products and vendors, we make everything possible from scratch, and we enjoy trying new recipes that our customers and staff bring in. We also believe in giving back to the community and with that intent the café is designed to provide training to at-risk youth in Evanston in both food service and life.  We consider the Café an opportunity to “dine with purpose”, by enjoying great food and helping the community at the same time.
