Sure, we've become a bit of a coffee culture lately with a Starbucks in every town (don't get me wrong, we LOVE Starbucks), as well as The Coffee Bean, and Peet's. Every once and a while you find a special place that stands out, even in a sea of coffee hipness. On a recent trip to Chicago, I stopped at a coffee house to get some change for the train, and I decided to have some coffee. The place was called Intelligentsia Cafe. The barista, and counter help were very nice, and the coffee was superb. I went back a few times, and when I returned home I looked them up on the net. To my surprise, there is an Intelligentsia Cafe in the Silverlake neighborhood of LA.

Anyhow, I'm starting to really relish late afternoons sitting on the patio drinking what seems like the perfect latte.


That's all I have to say.

P.S. If you're in LA (or Chicago) check them out. I think you will really enjoy yourself.
