Artbean Coffee

Artbean Coffee in Chinatown was a recent recommendation by a friend and I am officially obsessed!  Located on the colourful Doyer Street, this coffee shop serves delicious Asian inspired flavoured coffee drinks and also collaborates with artists to showcase their work in their cafe! I love that the founders support different artists through the rotating exhibit and their seasonal coffees are just on point! I couldn't resist the pandan latte made with pandan, coconut cream, oat milk and espresso. The featured artist during my visit was Gian Galang and I loved the "Chinatown Warriors" Exhibition.

Intelligentsia in Chicago

I was in Chicago again for a quick work trip and had a chance to pop into Intelligentsia one morning before taking a stroll through Millennium Park! Unfortunately the famous Bean was under construction, but I still enjoyed soaking up the sun while sipping on my Avena Latte. This was one of Intelligentsia's specialty Black Cat lattes with oat milk, spiced orange peel, ginger, vanilla and cinnamon and topped with a touch of cayenne! Good way to wake up and get the day started! 

Intelligentsia is a Chicago based cafe and roaster with a number of locations in a five different cities as well as one spot in Korea (and growing!). Not only do they sell delicious coffee, but they also have training labs and coffee bars all over. You can find their coffee at many restaurants and hotels or you can subscribe so you never run out at home!
