5 Stars: Chicago hot spot (by Emily D.)

This place is the best, the staff are truly passionate about coffee, and often times I just ask them to recommend something to order. Great vanilla lattes, and good tea selection, I have only been to the Broadway location, it's a great mix of eclectic people that hang out, but can be sometimes impossible (especially weekends and in the summer) to find a seat. This is a coffee shop that stays consistently busy during the weekdays and weekends

Some of the best, most ethically sourced coffee available. Well trained & informed staff are eager to serve drinks, brew to order, and chat about flavors, origins, and techniques. Fast-paced cafe in a great location near Millennium Park. Chicago coffee at its best.

I absolutely love their coffee, but their apple cider is amazing, too. What I really love more than the coffee at this place is the atmosphere inside. It's a very upscale coffee shop.

Intelligentsia has amazing ground coffee as well as lattes. They pride themselves in the "design" they make with the milk on top of your drink (not sure what that is called). But they have the best iced vanilla latte and ground coffee! Now, this place is a little pricey but worth it! They also have great pasteries and offer sandwiches, paninis, salads, etc. The staff is always friendly is great with making suggestions with what ground coffee to choose, as they have a lot to choose from. Definitely try Intelligentsia if you haven't already - great quality coffee and gets you away from the chains.
