Best Coffee Shops in Chicago

I always receive DMs about my favorite spots in Chicago so I thought I’d round up my go-to coffee shops.  So, go on and get your caffeine fix while I share the best coffee in Chicago.  Bonus: these places are also instagram-worthy!

Ipsento – By far, my favorite latte in the city of Chicago.  Plus, the breakfast sandwiches are delicious and named after my favorite classic authors.  My drink choice: Ipsento Latte (coconut milk, cayenne, and honey!)

Caffe Streets – Oh, my old stomping grounds.  Right in the heart of Wicker Park on Division, it’s a great place to pop in while you’re walking around. My drink choice: homemade chai latte

Heritage Bicycle General Store – Very instagrammable with an RV on the porch and plenty of seating outside when the weather turns.  Bonus: they can fix your bike, too.  My drink choice: iced coffee on the patio.

The Allis – Go for the beautiful and instagrammable scene – stay for the coffees and teas.  My drink choice: classic cup of coffee with splash of cream and sugar cube.

Intelligentsia – Yes, it’s a chain, but it started here in Chicago.  Not going to lie, I really miss their pour-overs.  My drink choice: cortado or pour-over coffee.

Reprise Coffee – Ok, FINE, this one is in the ‘burbs near me, but it gives me my old city coffee shop fix.  I’ve even holed up there for a day of work; you’d never know you were in a sleepy suburb, I swear.  My drink of choice: Lavender latte
