"Intelligentsia Coffee, Lakeview. Lakeview East is home to this original Intelligentsia cafe. I recall hearing of their pour-overs being described by coworkers in legendary fashion, back when I had no idea what a pour-over was. This place is for the uber coffee geek, and the casual drinker alike. I can vouch for the latter. Although these folks take their coffee very seriously, they are just as eager to share recommendations. You can either set up shop in the cafe at a number of tables, or have your caffeine as takeaway. The whole bean options also make a great gift."
