Coffee Shop Faves – Intelligentsia

Intelligentsia Coffee Shop - Chicago

I am Infatuated with Coffee Shops!

Who isn’t? Even if you don’t like coffee, the whole atmosphere created in a coffee shop transcends the taste buds and shoots for the heart.

We love to connect, to taste, smell, and savor the experience. Recently we took a short vacation to Chicago, to see family, and to see Hamilton.

Above is my Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear coffee photo from Intelligentsia in Chicago. We were right around the corner from the theater on our way to see Hamilton. (three months later the music is still playing in my head)

I had the one in the middle; usually the perfect fit for me is a cappuccino. Great lineup, yeah?

Intelligentsia Coffee Shop - Cappucino
Intelligentsia shops mean business. In my experience their baristas are trained so well and hit the mark with espresso every time. You’ll see in these hearts, a crisp contrast which highlights that microfoam…so smooth. I love the depth of the espresso in there.

Coffee Brewing Resource

Intelligentsia Coffee Shop - Chemex Tutorial

Another thing I love about Intelligentsia is their website. I use it as a resource for brewing methods. They have a lot of youtube video How-tos.

When you want to try a new one, or you haven’t used a particular method for a while, these are very consistent and good quality.

The Chemex tutorial is one of my go-tos.

If you have the chance to see Hamilton … do it … right after you stop at Intelligentsia.

Coffee, I Knew it, is a Superhero!

Coffee is a Superhero | Lattes on Location

I really love days when they say that coffee IS indeed good for you!

Today the news is trending that drinking MORE coffee, not some, is actually going to help you live longer! Read about it here.

That is always encouraging to hear. I want to wear a T-shirt today that says, I told you so! or I KNEW IT!!

I don’t drink lots of it. Daily, I drink some, but not lots. Some of my friends have me on that. But I do stick to drinking good coffee.

I will drink you under the table with coffee cup
Lattes at Accenture
Best break ever at this repeat client’s latte bar

And I do tend to make it wherever I go…for work, anyway.

Kind of makes me feel like a superhero today, but really, you are the superhero when you bring Lattes On Location as the best coffee break ever.

Bring me to your office and I’ll make great beverages, hot or cold, for your whole department!

It’s super easy, you let me know what you need, and we bring it in, set it up, serve it and leave you with colleagues that are alert, enthusiastic and efficient. (individual results may vary)

I know you can pick up coffee in a box and bagels in a bag, and that’s all cool. But individually made craft drinks like a flat white, a cappuccino, or even some sweetness like a mocha or chai latte, you just can’t carry that in and set it on the table. This presents the opportunity for conversation, connection and caffeination all in one. And the service is stellar.

And now that it is linked to being a life preserving, life lengthening measure, too, well it is time to call me. Or Get a quote Here

But what about at home?

Good Coffee Tip of the Day:
Be sure you use filtered water when you brew! Just because your water is getting heated doesn’t mean the flavor of the water improves. If it doesn’t taste good cold, it’s not going to taste good in coffee.

Remember: Lattes On Location is a step up in hospitality!
