I was recommended the Ethiopian espresso they had from the barista. They put it in a to-go cup.thought I said this was for here . The beans lacked depth and dissipated quickly . This was a little disappointing and I will try some other 3rd wave coffee spot next time I am in Chicago.
Underwhelming. Place was empty and yet the baristas were not very welcoming or pleasant. Cafe itself is pretty sterile. Prices are high ($5.50 for an iced tea?). With so many other options around, perhaps try something else if looking for a decent coffee and pastry shop.
Stopped by Intelligentsia in the Monadnock Building for a quick pick-me-up. Ordered the Orange Blossom Latte and a chocolate croissant. The latte was smooth with a subtle floral note, not too sweet, just right. Croissant was flaky and fresh. The café has a cozy vibe with classic tile floors and plenty of seating. Baristas were friendly and efficient. Spent about $12 total. Great spot for quality coffee downtown.
