If you're in the Evanston/Wilmette area and want to try something other than Walker Brothers, check out Blind Faith Cafe and Bakery. It's a vegetarian restaurant in Evanston on the northeast corner of Chicago Avenue and Dempster Street (street address is 525 Dempster).

The website contains the full menu. Breakfast items include huevos rancheros, tofu scrambled eggs, chilaquiles, aztec hash, pancakes, french toast, and omelettes. Fresh squeezed orange and carrot juices are available.

Blind Faith also serves lunch and dinner. Plan on spending $30 for two people for breakfast with tax and tip. It has been an iDine participant for over two years, giving out ten miles per dollar all day every day on your first visit each month.

Zagat Ratings: 17 food, 12 decor, 16 service.

Personally, I've only been there for breakfast, and it's usually on a weekend after a late night of partying. The aztec hash is a solid performer and my usual selection, although next time I'm going for the tofu scrambled eggs. I've also sampled the blueberry pancakes and they were excellent. The Zagat decor rating isn't too far off the mark -- there's nothing bad about the setting, per se, but you cannot help but feel as though it hasn't been renovated much since it opened in 1979. Overall a good place though.
