Focus on Coffee Shops

Although we’ve been drinking more tea lately, there’s still something to be said about spending part of a lazy Saturday afternoon sipping some java at one of the city’s coffee shops. While we were strolling in the Loop with one of our friends, we decided to peel off for a quick cup. During an ungodly long wait at one of the big chains, we remembered that an Intelligentsia was around the corner, and promptly made a beeline to their superior shop. Impressing our friend with the award-winning coffee, great service, and local art on the wall, that cup was just what we needed to recharge before a photo safari through Millennium Park.

We know many fellow Intelligentsia lovers are out there, but do you have another favorite spot?
