Big Shoulders Coffee

"Chicago coffee stalwart Big Shoulders has for years served as a go-to for commuters and caffeine hunters. On the cold front, hits include its pulse-raising iced horchata lattes (double or quad shot of espresso) and iced cardamom spice lattes (quad shot of espresso, cardamom syrup, milk). Additional locations are open in the Loop, Gold Coast, and inside the Chicago Board of Trade." - Naomi Waxman
