Avena latte is one of the best latte I have, nationwide. The hint of cayenne, which I originally thought it would be weird, turn out to be amazing and warm. Turmeric Pineapple Shrub is a great refreshing iced tea. I highly recommend these to everyone. The location is great, especially for tourists. Grab a coffee and/or tea, like myself, and walk around. You can also do work here or your assignments as there are plenty of seats.
Just remember to grab your lids for your cups by the revolving door, if you're bringing your drink elsewhere.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 12, 20241 check-in
A small and quiet spot for a cup of coffee and a chat, or a place to read a book and get out of the general fray for a time.
The area isn't big and has the feel of an Italian or European coffee shop with marble tables and minimalistic decor. It has coffee and tea items for sale as well as a varied menu of snacks and hot beverages.
Our group was a bit larger so needed to push a few tables together. I think that isn't the norm for this spot so keep that in mind if you are going, beat for a smaller group or coffee/tea to go.
The coffee was flavorful and several who got tea enjoyed it. They have teas not listed on their menu so make sure to ask if wanting another option. My coffee had cayenne which was a bit more than I bargained for, but the barista did ask me and I approved it. So a nice thing to try and fun that they offer specials which I've never heard of before (or unique combos).
A great spot to spot in for a warm beverage on a cold day!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Nov 10, 2023
Came here after shopping at block 37 and I would say that the location is pretty ideal and very close to a lot of stores on State. It's a little small on the inside so seating is very limited. I ordered the mocha based off the recommendation of the barista and it was very good. They said that it has a locally made chocolate ganache in it. I was kinda shocked when the total came out to be close to $10 with the added $1.5 tip which I felt to be kinda steep for a drink. Overall was nice to try a different coffee shop in the area

Intelligentsia Coffee was work the 20 minute walk from my hotel. After trying a sip of the coffee, I went ahead and bought two bags of beans. The baristos were helpful in selecting the beans. Additionally, the vibe was lovely inside. I'll definitely be back.
