In the up-and-coming Pilsen neighborhood, this is one of the most interesting and enjoyable elements to have come out of all the attention. This coffeehouse has combined the distinctly urban European coffeehouse with a tang of a Latin bar. It is decked out with wooden chairs and the tables are painted with lively Mexican imagery. The place attracts a variety of Hispanic intellectual community... more

PILSEN . This bold, bright café is filled with artistic types, local paintings, vivid tables in primary colors, and plenty of fresh coffee and coffee drinks. Diverse crowds of ethnic groups regularly hang out at the relaxed coffee house (tee shirts proclaim "No human being is illegal"). Cultural events such as poetry readings and flamenco dancing performances are common. Try an espresso or a... more

photo: Jen Hazen If your spirit needs a boost from the overcast doldrums of Chicago's cold months, Pilsen's Café Jumping Bean will give you a reason to rouse from hibernation. This quaint coffee shop is flooded with natural light, Prozac-infused hues, and the delicious scent of percolating coffee to stave off sluggishness and turn that frown upside down. Local artists' works are showcased on... more

Poets, writers, and artists have all made the Jumping Bean a Pilsen standby for the last 10 years. During the day, the bright blue walls make the room an inviting space, and students come to spend long hours with gourmet coffees and zesty soups. At night, professionals--and occasionally even cops--have the run of the place, gorging on ritzy desserts and reveling in world music. And while the... more

This cafe does have great food and friendly service; however, it is rather small and stuffy, and it is usually pretty packed. Although the management tries to discourage people from hanging out all day using the internet, half the time when I go in to eat I can't find a place to sit so I end up just taking food to go (and the food is really good, so it's worth it). As a grad student, I am... more

The Jumping Bean coffee shop is a great little spot in the heart of Pilsen. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is great. It is a great place to study or have coffee and dessert with a friend. The coffee is strong and delicious.
