2005_10_coffee_bean.jpgWild Bean Cafe says that because "The Bean" sculpture in Millennium Park is covered, they're bringing a big bean to the downtown area.. which is kind of misleading because when we asked them where their new cafe is going to be they told us that they're located in all BP gas stations. And when we said "but where is that down here?" they said "well, the closest one is down on Roosevelt." Which kind of makes no sense to Chicagoist.

But lets get to the good stuff.. to promote their stores, Wild Bean Cafe is giving away free full-sized cups of coffee today until noon. Look for the big 30-foot coffee bean out in front of the Equitable building on Michigan Ave.
