My favorite coffee is a dark roast with a splash of cream. No sugar. It's what I drink on the daily. ☕ (Beans from Peace Coffee) I love the smoky flavor of dark roast, and it really grinds my gears when the beans are over roasted and they taste burnt (I'm looking at you, Sbx). Bleah.

I Love a great coffee spot and great atmosphere and vibes, Our local coffee shop was awesome, It had an upstairs and stage for musicians and comedians and then COVID hit and they never opened back up but every table in there had their own little table light and it was a little dark in there but not too dark, It was just cozy and warm, It always smelled great in there too❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video! First: please do that bookstore video! I’m a huge fan of printed books, have a small library in my home, and throughout my life I spent so much time hanging out in bookstores. Second, I just placed an online order with Dark Matter a couple hours before I even saw this! Love the crazy flavors they come up with in their coffee beans. And my favorite coffee drink? Just a plain simple black coffee, nice and piping hot.

I wanna do it so bad! I LOVE bookstores! I actually went to one in Italy in one of those vlogs. I love hanging in bookstores and I LOVE books! I so far have one bookstore that's one board and a couple others with a little interest but for the most part bookstore owners are a little wearly of people with cameras bc so many influencers give us a bad name. It's a shame but I'm going to keep pushing and find a way to do it! And that's so funny dude! What a small freaking world! haha I love it!

I live on W Aldine, East of N Broadway. Mexican Chilapas from the Exchange rules. Why would you do Pedestrian over Intelligentsia? How could you hit Dark Matter and not grab calories at Bittersweet across the street (plus their coffee is solid)?
@CoreyWagnerChicago4 ай бұрын
nice! such a great area! As for why I chose Pedestrian, I think you're thinking about it wrong. Putting one place on this list isn't taking another video out... there's probably 25 coffee spots just in this area that I could showcase. We just pick three that are great but it doesn't mean the others are worse or anything. I will say though that Intelligentsia is now owned by pete's coffee so it's not as local as I'd like any more. (just personal preference for liking local).. and I didn't go to Bittersweet bc this video was about showcasing coffee spots not showcasing coffee spots and also getting food at places that are close that I like. These videos would be a thousand hours long if I stopped at every great spot I loved that I walked past! Hope that answers all the questions! Thanks for checking it out and hope you have a nice day!
