Intelligentsia Coffee Post Office Square Coffeebar

Great place, but very tough to make plans to meet people here when the hours of operation are so inconsistent. It’s happened several times now to me and other people I work with. Online it says they’re open, but you get there and there’s nobody there, customers just standing around wondering if someone’s coming back or if they’re closed. I just visited 2:30pm on a Friday. Google says they are open, but there’s nobody behind the counter, no signage anywhere indicating closed, and the front desk building security saying they haven’t seen anyone for a while. When I arrived there was also a woman standing there who mentioned she’s been waiting for 10 minutes and hasn’t seen anyone. Easy fix would be a sign on the counter when closed / more accurate times on Google.

Typically love coming here, good coffee and lowkey vibe. Kind've a hidden gem. However, they've mistakenly made my drink with whole milk three times now. Usually don't realize it til the 3rd sip and then I have to eventually run to the toilet lol.

Super amazing experience definitely an expensive matcha. But worth it, 9/10 plus the gorgeous atmosphere around makes it very pleasant the matcha is creamy thick and very flavorful. I did order it with 2% milk, they sell it with oatmilk but they use Oatly which was sunflower oil as an ingredient so I prefer not to drink oil.

Their espresso machine was unfortunately out of service at the time I went, so I got a nicely made single oirigin pourover instead. The barista was apologetic and friendly. I’ll definitely have to come back for their espresso!

Cappuccino was scalding hot, and bland. Chocolate croissant was overcooked & stale/dry. Had to wait 5 minutes for the batista to come back, but she was pleasant. Space is nice, but a little cold for me (both temperature and atmosphere). I went because of a previous good experience in Chicago, but $11 was too much for what I got.

So expensive. Nearly $6 for a 6oz cappuccino. Don’t care how good it is, go to Sip Cafe one block away.
