Margaret Pak: Stumptown coffee, Little Goat treats, Chicago made bikes, grumblers AND growlers to buy more Stumptown Brewed Coffee -- this place is a true Chicago Gem!!!
Global Highlander: Very nice pour over coffee from Stumptown, amazing chai latte, and very nice pastries and baked goods. Nice outdoor seating makes this place a neighborhood gem.
Kevin Dudley: This is a really cool place. Rwanda pourover was excellent and cinnamon scone was delicious. Owner seems like a great guy. Don't forget this is half bike shop!

Mary Beth Leisen: LOVE the design of the Intelligentsia cafes (and the coffee, of course!). This is a joint to hang out in.
Serious Eats: Gone are the extra-large drinks and blender mochas, and in are a constantly rotating series of seasonal single origin coffees for the manual brew bar, or feature single origin and blended espressos.
Sven: The third or fourth Chicago Intelligentsia I've visited and just as good as all of them.
DrinkMoreCoffee Jensen: This place serves a huge breakfast for a very reasonable downtown Chicago price. Very tasty and they have Intelligentsia coffee!
Don Kincaid: The Intelligentsia coffee bar in the foyer is a must to survive the wait for a table. Smart ides Wildberry!
Chrissy Nickel: Shorter waits before 9 am, but worth the wait if you come after. Have Intelligentsia coffee bar for the wait. Delicious Benedict, good pancakes, hash browns have nice crisp. Wish fruit was fresher
Time Out Chicago: Try the Pure Black, a deep, dark, bottled cold brew from our 100 Best list!
Time Out Chicago: The Philadelphia equivalent to Intelligentsia opened its first Chicago café quietly (though the location, across the street from a Starbucks, certainly sent a message). Read more.
Aaron Cruz: Pour over goodness at the West Loop craft coffee roaster. No wi-fi as your focus should be on savoring the handcrafted cup of coffee and great conversation at this neighborhood spot.
