Our Guestbook
“ Stopped by again and tried the Smoke Salt Maple Latte iced, Avena Latte, and a Fruit Danish. Big fan of the Smoke Salt Maple Latte and the Danish was surprisingly good, flaky and sweet. The Avena Latte didn't really give off much in terms of flavor, mostly tasted of oat milk. ”
“ The coffee and espresso was fantastic. Well bodied, rich, and not burnt like most espressos. While it was packed with people doing work, it wasn't the best working environment. The tables were small and not very sturdy, there were not many outlets in the entire store, and everyone's conversations echoed. I would definitely go back, but just for coffee to go. ”
“ Not a "typical" coffee shop feel, a little more cafeteria vibe esthetically, but decent space. Quiet enough to read or work a bit. Staff was very friendly. I ordered a London Fog w/ almond milk and a chocolate croissant. The tea came with a small carafe with remaining tea in the side. The tea was absolutely delicious! I'm a fan of London Fog's in general but this may be my go to spot for them going forward. Croissant was huge and ended up saving half for later. It was light and just enough without being too sweet. ”
“ by far one of the best matcha lattes i've had in chicago!! perfect balance of balance of grass-ie taste and sweetness, pumpkin bread was great as well! the interior is cozy with plenty of tables, didn't see alot of outlets though for those wfh or studying. ”
“ My go to neighborhood cafe for a solid cappuccino and some productive work time. Their coffee is more on the pricey side, but it's good. The music is always fire too. Don't bother with the croissants though. ”
“ This coffee is so delicious!!! I ordered a hot vanilla latte and it was perfectly sweet The baristas are always friendly and the coffee shop has plenty of room to sit and do work or hangout outside while sipping your drink ”
“ I've been to other Intellegentsias in the city and they've all Ben consistently great. It's unfortunate two more locations are closing, and hoping that this one sticks around. I ordered a latte through their website and was getting placed on the counter right when I arrived. The guys here were very friendly and got me on my way. The latte was delicious and will be coming here more often. ”
