Sip

Sip is my favorite coffee house in Chicago. When I used to live in River West, I probably went there at least 4 days a week. Almost always I ordered the light roast Dom with an extra shot. It got to the point it was like "Cheers" where everyone knew me when I went in there. If I wanted something other then a Dom, I had to speak up quickly or they would just start making it for me! Another bonus is they serve Intelligentsia coffee, a locally roasted bean.

They now have two outdoor seating areas and a nice two floor seating area in the back as well. Free wi-fi too. If you are ever in Chicago near the corner of Grand and Ogden, go to Sip and order something. DO NOT go to the Starbucks that opened just across the street!!
