In Search of the Best Coffee in Chicago


I'm off for a very quick trip to Chicago for BookExpo America. I anticipate spending ninety nine per cent of my time at the Expo at McCormick Place but anticipate a few early mornings that aren't scheduled. During those times I am in search of enlarging my Best Coffee search. Is anyone who's familiar with Chicago have a suggestion for a place to do some coffee sampling? I've done a Google search, but most of the places listed don't look close to the area where I will be staying near the Drake Hotel.

I'm almost packed and I'm going lightly, with just a small carry on. After having my luggage wander between North and South America on my last trip, there's no bag checking for me this time. I hope to blog every night about my experiences at BookExpo.

Thanks for visiting and have a terrific Tuesday.

I lived in La Grange for six years but alot of the haunts we frequented have come and gone. Good Luck. I am sure you will find the perfect brew. ENJOY this jaunt to Chicago.

Love Chicago and the Drake is my favorite city hotel, but McCormick Place is just too inconvenient. Never paid much attention to coffee there, but the ice cream at Oberweiss Dairy in Oak Park is the best. Have fun.

I hope you pick up some epic books. I would LOVE to go to an expo like that, but I'm afraid it would break my bank. =)
