"Chicago-based Intelligentsia ushered in a new wave of gourmet coffee shops, the kind where responsibly sourced and expertly roasted coffee is prepared using methods that, though time-consuming, result in a pretty perfect cup. As a rule, all outposts are aesthetically unique (five others are scattered in Old Town, Broadway, Millennium Park, Logan Square, and The Loop), offer free Wi-Fi, and have loads of seating options. Plus, you kind of have to love the theme-dressed baristas. "

"Chicago-based specialty coffee chain Intelligentsia Coffee has reopened for pickup with hot and cold coffee, chai, matcha, espresso drinks, bags of whole means, and more. Customers can order ahead online via Toast. Intelligentsia Coffee Wicker Park, 1609 W. Division Street." - Naomi Waxman
Great vibes! Very hip and a great spot for just sit back and take it easy. Multiple options available to help you get caffeinated, along with even better options to satisfy your sweet tooth. I had ordered a turmeric tonic and a chocolate chip cookie. The tonic was an excellent choice. The washroom was clean as well! Would definitely visit again and recommend to my friends!

I love this Intelligentsia location. I came on a Monday morning, and the shop was fairly empty. They have cold brew and nitro cold brew on tap, which is great on a hot day. They also sell a lot of merchandise/ coffee brewing equipment. It’s a great place to get work done because they have outlets around the shop.

The coffee here is absolutely cutting edge. The technique used to pull every shot is dead one. I wish they had more of a food and bakery menu though. The space is a little small and industrial which makes the location feel cold. I’m just being picky though. Still great coffee.

Not from Chicago but visited Intelligentsia and thought it was a good coffee shop. I ordered a double espresso and my wife ordered an iced latte. Black Cat Espresso is a solid go-to!

Matcha very organic and natural, the ambiance was cozy, and my banana nut bread was very good 8/10 :)

Tumeric Tonic. If you're sick, get it. I swear this makes illness so much more bearable. Beautiful presentation too. Bathrooms are public, plenty of seating, friendly staff, great merchandising, fresh flowers, clean, comfortable noise level, plugs for computers, window seating, and of course.. good coffee.

A really cool coffee! I ordered a cappuccino perfectly executed! The interior design makes the space feel comfortable to work or simply grab a cup!

Iced latte was probably the best I've ever had. Not butter at all. I usually like flavoring and sugar in my coffee but it didn't need it at all.
