"Cafe Jumping Bean is a neighborhood institution that’s been around since 1994. It’s colorful, with lots of local artwork, and a popular spot for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Come here to study or before work for a grab-and-go breakfast. And when you do, try their Mexican hot chocolate and a mollete, Mexican bolillo bread sliced open and topped with refried beans, cheese, salsa, and avocado. Their second location, ‘L’ Cafecito, is hidden right under the Damen Pink Line station and is a quick, walk-up-only spot for coffee if you’re looking for an iced horchata before catching the train." - adrian kane, alyssa reyes, veda kilaru, john ringor
