Lauren Kee of Hong Kong walked towards Newport Coffee House for her weekly instructor meeting with Joe Grimm. Last week, she went to Colectivo Coffee, one of Grimm\u2019s many \u201csecret locations.\u201d
\u201cIt\u2019s a great way to try out new cafes and explore the Evanston area,\u201d Kee said.
Coffee shops are not only an aspect of academics at the Medill cherubs program, they\u2019ve become places for adventure for many cherubs. During breaks, students try new drinks and baked goods from the more than a dozen coffee shops around campus.
Annabel Chia of Belmont, California, said she enjoys visiting Newport Coffee House for their matcha latte because of its smooth texture and taste.
\u201cIt\u2019s the best matcha I\u2019ve had around Evanston,\u201d she said. \u201cThat might be a bold statement, but it\u2019s really good.\u201d
Newport has also turned into a study spot for Chia because of what she described as a calm environment and studious energy.
Lucy McWeeny of Williamstown, Massachusetts, said she loves Newport\u2019s baked goods. But for coffee, McWeeny turns to Peet\u2019s Coffee, a quiet spot located on Chicago Avenue. She regularly orders an iced latte with oat milk and chocolate chip pumpkin bread.
\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of chocolate chips, and I\u2019m a big fan of pumpkin bread,\u201d McWeeny said. \u201cI\u2019m glad Peet\u2019s put them together.\u201d
Lexi Newsom of Leawood, Kansas, said she encourages people to explore the city and try local coffee shops.
\u201cTry different ones and find what you like,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cThere\u2019s something for everyone here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
