Intelligentsia isn't bad, but there's always Metropolis and Asado :)
haven't tried them where they located? Not to hijack the thread but I love good coffee.
Metropolis and Asado are kind of hard to get to if you don't live on the North Side. Intelligentsia is nice for those of us who live/work in the loop.
Metropolis is worth the hike. They serve a great macchiato (a real one, not a starbucks monstrosity). I love any place that will throw away a shot if it doesn't look perfect.
I will head up there sometime soon. But just for the sake of completeness, I will note that Intelligentsia would do the same thing. Every time I walk in, I feel like I am in Seattle. And for coffee, that's a good thing.
(One time, a friend of mine who is from Seattle ended up behind me in line. I wondered for a second what city I was in :)
