About this spot
Intelligentsia delivers the crisp, bright energy of Logan Square with beans roasted fresh and brewed to order at their North Milwaukee Avenue spot. Expect a lineup that moves quickly, but the pour-over coffee here offers a clean, complex cup that stands out against the city's usual heavy roasts.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a single-origin pour-over if you want to taste the specific floral or fruity notes of the day's roast.
- Bring your own mug for a quick refill, as the line can stretch past the door during morning rush.
- Skip the pastry case and grab a bagged coffee instead; it keeps better in your cooler than their fresh-baked goods.
