Renovating the Evanston Café
Pardon our dust while we make improvements!
In May 2025, renovations officially began in our Evanston location. We will remain open during this time, so you can still visit us and get your Curt’s favorites. Stay informed about our progress by reading our newsletters and connecting with us on social media.
Thank you to the state of Illinois for funding the renovation of our 13-year-old café!

Opening a Café in Highland Park
“The Big Dream” Came True Because Of You!”
The Highland Park Café officially opened October 29, 2019
In 2017, a team from the organization, Open Communities, took on the goal of making social change in their community. Their desired method was to open a Curt’s Café in Highland Park (CC3). The amazing and committed professionals at Open Communities worked for a full year introducing the idea to the community and another year raising the funds to partially fund the opening. WE OPENED THE CAFÉ ON OCTOBER 29TH WITH RAVE REVIEWS. WE LOVE OUR NEWEST COMMUNITY AND FEEL WELCOMED AND RIGHT AT HOME!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO THE OPENING AND ALSO FOR BELIEVING IN OUR STUDENTS AND OUR NEW COMMUNITY. If you would like to donate specifically to our Highland Park Café please write that in the memo section of the donation.
