I would add 6-month old The Coffee Studio in north Andersonville to the list of great coffee shops. Just sayin'.

It took 5 years to open, but the new Istria in the Hyde Park Art Center is HAWT. The gelato kills me. My only gripes is that they charge for wifi (wtf!?) and its always pretty crowded.

Sip is still the place for me, but can't compare to before their expansion...they had what seemed like an expanse of outdoor with multiple mature trees...include a peach tree!

This makes me sad again about West Gate Coffeehouse on Madison and Sangamon closing. They had free internet, great food, comfy couches, board games, and Intelligentsia coffee. Now it's a bridal shop. Sniff.

Whoa, New City still exists...I'd completely forgotten about it. Useful list though, so I gotta give credit where it's due.

at least the Trib gave props to Ashburys, we used to hit that place all the time in high school in the late 90's - still going strong

What about Oak Park? Heads Up on Oak Park roasts their own coffee too.
