Postcard

I love trying new cafés opening in the city, and next on my list was Postcard in Fulton Market, one of Chicago’s newer coffee spots. I ordered a classic vanilla latte, which was smooth and perfectly sweet — exactly how I like it. For something savory, I tried the Mortadella Toastie made with whipped ricotta, arugula, and parmigiano. The toastie was surprisingly packed with flavor, creamy yet crisp, and easily one of my favorite bites of the morning. We also sampled several of

Intelligentsia Coffee

While taking a break from work, I decided to try a new (to me) coffee spot in the Loop — Intelligentsia Coffee, one of Chicago’s most well-known coffee shops. My first impression of the cafe was how lively it was during the weekday rush, filled with people hosting coffee chats, remote workers on laptops, and others grabbing their coffees to go. I ordered the classic vanilla latte, which turned out to be the perfect pick-me-up for the middle of the week. The espresso was smoot
