JBean really does have the best coffee in Chicago. I've been to all the places everyone else recommends while doing a cafe ethnography study last year and JBean, hands down, serves the best kava. I highly recommend any flavored Lattes or Cappucinos as their syrups are incredible! Service is fast & friendly. The place is quiet enough to relax but also great for conversation. Just try it once...JBean's quality will speak for itself.
Pros: great coffee, not overcrowded, inexpensive
