Intelligentsia Coffee Broadway Coffeebar

Intelligentsia has very good coffee, and is a great place to bring your laptop and work. That's what most people were doing here, working. In addition, there are a couple of large tables if you have a group. The food choices are very limited. I ordered a ham croissant. It was good, but not what I expected as I thought it might be warmed up, and not much ham. The prices are a bit pricey. The service was excellent.

Elated to enjoy class in-shop. I was happy to exchange sniffs, smells, sips, and conversations. A fantastic in-depth discussion over the influences and distinctions of coffee, their commitment to equity and fair trade, and the history behind these revelations. Class included two fresh cups of hot coffee and a bag (your choice) of their whole bean coffee. I would consider taking the class again.

My first visit ever to an Intelligentsia location in Chicago was this coffee bar on Broadway! It seems like the place was renovated while I was gone during COVID-19, but the old charm is still there ☺️☕️ I had a chance to try Angeleno, which is four espresso shots with milk and homemade vanilla syrup, together with banana bread. Definitely a cool drink to have during hot weather 💙, and a good place to get work done 💻!!

Great coffee options with some additional fun mocktail drinks like the Black Cat Fizz. Super tasty pop-tarts too!

If you Love Coffee, If you support Chicago local business, then this is a place not to missed.

The atmosphere is always perfectly clean.
The Music is flowing, I'm always discovering new sound for my play list.

It in door nd out door. Plus if you don't feel like sits it's a 12 minute walk to the lake.

Also don't miss out on Tuesday coffee bean deals!

Tell the BadMonkeyKing sent you.

Spacious and good coffee. It was a beautiful day to sit outside.

I don’t normally do bad reviews, but I really feel this place is over-hyped. Staff is always a bit off-putting, and coffee is overpriced. They have a nice selection of interesting drinks, though!

LOVE the Avena Latte! Great place to meet or work from home in the morning!

So we ordered the El Salvador coffee, which is really basic. That took FOREVER. And they literally just poured it from a canister, so what were we waiting for? Then the matcha took another lifetime. Seating is crazy, it's probably packed at all times of the day. Atmosphere is not that appealing. Service was fine. Coffee isn't THAT much better than Starbucks. The size was small too. The matcha was at least mixed with the bamboo whisk. It's so pretentious with their tea display, when they're just waiting for it to steep. I think it's annoying to have to find your lid size, because they're all the same and it's a waste of plastic. At least they care about the turtles and have a cute sign about straws, but some douche just dropped like half the lids and left it there.

I came in on Tuesday and the service here was great. I needed some help choosing a coffee for home, and Nathan was so amazing. I'll definitely be back!
