I never considered myself a coffee person until I was told about Cafe Jumping Bean. I highly recommend the Thai iced coffee and focaccia pizza; you won’t regret it! I make it a point to stop by almost every week and pick up that combo specifically. To top it all off, it’s always nice seeing the new artwork on the walls while you wait!

This place is awesome!They have delicious and nutritious sandwiches, bagel sandwiches too and unique coffee flavors, my favorite is Sunnyday made with ginger root you can also pick your kind of milk !

Best Salmon Bay eagles. All their food is delicious even the cold pasta. Coffee is great too. Been going for 4 years now.

My new local go to spot for coffee, breakfast or pastries. Service is friendly and efficient. I always order Iced Mocha with whip cream. One guy, didnt catch his name, always makes it perfect.

This is such a great local coffee shop. Their handmade sandwiches... *chefs kiss*. Phenomenal. I stop in about once a week and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. I love their iced lattes and lemonades. Its a must-have kinda spot. I love Jumping Bean!!

They have a wide variety of pastries and a beautiful ambiance. Highly recommended!

Not a coffee fan so my review is strictly reviewing the aesthetic and the desserts. Both are great. This is the kind of spot that you find being the location of a independent film where boy meets girl who is the waitress and they fall in love, some tragedy occurs, but in the end it doesnt matter because they still have each other ha!

Service is always great and filled with friendly and helpful staff :))

A very good place for that special occasian.

An amazing community cafe with great coffee and food. They get it right every time and create a wonderful atmosphere, centering Chicago and Pilsen artists and ingredients. The employees are kind and patient- they have become a central part of our daily lives. We LOVE Cafe Jumping Bean and so do our guests- it is a destination every time somebody comes into town. Can’t go wrong with anything there but highly recommend the veggie sandwich.

Great food and coffee. Some type of outdoor seating would be nice. Even just a few small tables and chairs would make the experience better.

I was surprised by how delicious their food was, the veggie bagel is simple and delicious, the black bean burger is tasty and their drinks keep me coming back. The matcha latte is 👌🏽and the mocha latte is delicious.

This coffee shop has been around forever and their pastries combined with their bagels as well as expresso and other drinks theyve created in the coffee genre I believe is really what makes it unique and one of a kind

Our service was excellent and the atmosphere was vibrant.

My favorite spot for great coffee in Chicago!! Is not only good in coffee making matters but the place and the team are totally aware and involved in the community as well as in trying to honor the Mexican roots of the place and, of course, the neighborhood. The service is great, the quality of food and beverages is awesome!

Great service, fast and delicious coffee

We love jumping bean! Especially Valerie. She is such a sweetheart.

Tried this spot out for the first time yesterday and I ordered the tik-tok famous abuelita chocolate iced espresso…. & omg it was so good! Can’t wait to make a trip back!

Their coffee is just lovely! and the people are always super nice. i always go out of my way to come here.

Great little coffee shop with high quality java.

Will always have a soft spot for this place ❤

Great coffee & food. Awesome service too

Super quick and super friendly. Great neighborhood coffee shop.

Super bad B.O.!!!! Pero why!? But the drinks are good.

Blurry picture! My Saturday work ritual. Soy latte with coconut flavor 😋 so yummy!

Loved the iced golden bean drink. Batista was friendly in helping me customize my drink.

My favorite coffee shop in Pilsen. The service is excellent, the people store friendly and the food good quality food the price.The have been in Pilsen for more than 25 years and the choice ships hosts different art work of local artists.

Delicious coffee shop in Pilsen!

One of my favorite spots in Pilsen. Great coffee & teas - sandwiches are on point and the staff is friendly & always on top of everything

Their coffee is amazing, staff is super friendly, but what you should really try is their warm chicken salad focaccia sandwich. Sooo good!

Great place for coffee, and the lox bagle is awesome.

Cool spot, cool staff, good food and great drinks, a Pilsen gem

Good cofee, very fast service. I would have loved it if they had Mexican pastries in addition to the selection they had.

Been going here for years! My favorite cafe/coffee/bagel shop in the city. I always get the same thing, Thai iced coffee and a lox bagel. So good. You’re wasting your time NOT being here.

A neat little coffee shop slash diner with good dinner food. It is a neighborhood meeting place

They serve a strong and satisfying Cortado Triple!

Just finished a Veggie Focaccia, so good! And well priced

Great prices with a variety of coffee and more.

Love to come here for coffee and bagels

Good atmosphere,Great food, friendly fast service.

Good selection of drinks and snacks, unfortunately only take out during Covid.

The coffee is good--my fave is the Thai coffee! The molletes are my fave because they can be veganized--just ask for no cheese and add avocado. What really makes Jumping Bean stand out, though, is the staff. Theyre genuinely nice people who seem to be on a first name basis with all the neighborhood locals. Also, they support local artists which speaks to my soul! Go give them your dollars and keep the big chains out of El Barrio!

Stopped by while in the neighborhood and had the Golden Bean. It was so good I made a point of stopping by the next day to pick up another (and a scone). I would definitely recommend.

Food is always great and love the precautions they take with the day and age we now live in. Great job.

Cafe con leche Y lox BagelThe Best combo Pilsen has to offer

The Italian wedding soup was very good. the molletes was great. my pesto chicken salad wasnt as creamy as I would like, and a bit bland. the pasta side was also not very good. the service was great - helpful and friendly. the decor is very cute and I cant wait for them to have indoor dining again

Staff member was flat out rude. Zero customer service skills. I’ll just go to Brew Brew or Foxglove.

First time here and I wanted something similar to a caramel macchiato. The barista suggested a drink and I was pleasantly surprised! It was delicious and service was quick. Will be returning !

Had the very best Mexican hot chocolate here! Two times I went and it was perfect. This week when I went it tasted like hot milk with a hit of chocolate. Waaa waaaa what a disappointment. Please do not stray from your original recipe..

Cozy spot to grab a solid coffee

Been going here for over 10 years. I won’t go to any other cafe because of the great service and great food/coffee.

This place is so cute! The staff is so friendly, the food is so affordable and so good! This place is such a gem!

Neat little spot. If you go there, get the lox sandwich on everything bagel

Such an amazing art gallery and gem in the Heart of Pilsen! A must try.

Totally loving their Dirty Chai!! Great alternatives to dairy is the Almond Milk or Oat Milk

Super great local business! I got a chai and a snack and it got me hooked. As a Indian Im always trying to find any place that can replicate the Chai from my childhood. This place is the closest Ive gotten outside of Devon and Ive tried a lot (!) of places. They also have a lot of other drinks including tradition Mexican chocolate and sodas. I want able to try any of their sandwiches but they give a huge portion of food along with either chips or pasta side.As for the atmosphere, I love it. Its clear that this place has had loved poured into it. The walls are covered with local stickers and newspapers. The tables are covered in art and is so welcoming (especially with the stained glass). This is just a place where the environment is so friendly and ~good vibes only~ as soon as you walk in.Only downside is that they have a interesting wifi schedule (cant get it on weekend or lunch hours?). I do understand this to an extent because the place is more on the cramped side and people cant linger for too long. Also not too many outlets but the music is perfection.Definitely will be returning again for more Chai & a black bean burger.

Ive been coming here every Saturday since I was a kid. Love the place!! And I always recommend the place to every one I know. Try the Chocoexpresso!!! 🔥

Ive tried a few of their drinks and theyve all been great. Last tried the mocha almond delight

Friendly staff and delicious sandwiches!!

Awesome!!!! PILSEN is a holding on to their culture!!! Hang tight! The coffee SHOPPE was fantastic and the coffee was delicious! Great vibe, service and art.

Quick service! Friendly staff & omg! Best bagel Ive had in over a year 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

My preferred spot for delicious cafe food. Filled me up in no time. Service is typically great. This place has a great atmosphere.

This is a cool place and they have a good espresso and nice croissants. I came here to edit some poems and I got inspired here. Thx

Glory on Ice... Thank you.

Incredible staff, LOCALLY OWNED, delicious coffee selections without the pretentiousness of some café experiences. A multitude of dairy alternatives and pastry selections. No egg options for food but a surprisingly decent bagel, said as someone who has tasted the best of the New York tri-state area. A Pilsen landmark and institution.

This place rocks! The coffee is great, food, and ambiance. I cant wait to go back. One of my favorite small businesses.

Nice and quaint coffee shop.

You cannot go wrong here! Amazing coffee and food!

Cozy place for a drink or two. Tables are funny since they resemble the country side of Mexico (funny how whats consider Naco in México is trendy/cool here in Chicago). Chocolate is sweet. Cool art gallery. Just please fix the main door since it doesnt close and the cold air draft gets in or install a second door ;D

Hi fell in love with cafe jumping bean when one of my coworkers brought me a sandwich from there the food is great and the workers are always on point

If you want to see what a well-designed barista assembly line looks like in a mom-and-pop setting this is the place to go.Starbucks could learn a thing or two from the efficiency and the focus with which this team executes every single day.

Yummy Dirty Chai and the woman in charge made sure my husbands garden burger was mayo free. Small space...better for quick coffee and lunch than a workspace.

Love their Mexican Hot Chocolate 💕

They have the bes desserts ever!

My favorite tuna sandwich in Chicago 🧨🧨🧨👌

They’re always friendly and great coffee and the chai tea is delicious!

Best place to eat a fresh sandwich and soup! Every soup i have tried here has been delicious. Broccoli , italian wedding, tomato bisque... from the soups Ive tried so far and all get 5 stars from me . And the coffee!!!! Simply the best!

Great local cafe. Cafe Jumping Bean is a staple of the community. Service is fast and friendly. Great atmosphere.

Super cute place - some simple breakfast staples and great coffee and lattes. Way more ambiance than a Starbucks! So happy this neighborhood has its own local coffee shop that reflects the community and people who live there! Pretty diverse crowd - seemed like mostly locals. I liked the volume level too in that my husband and I could easily talk to each other and enjoy our breakfast and the cool art on the walls. Great place!

I love this coffee shop! The only downfall I can say is that every time I want to order the frozen coffee with caramel, they say they can’t do that. But I used to always always come in here and get that same order. I’m not sure if they don’t like to make it or what but what have it on the menu if you don’t make it. Please consider this!

My favorite neighborhood cafe. Wonderful sandwiches and reliably well made drinks

Delicious hot chocolate, pastries, coffee, and light lunch options. Amazing staff.

Been coming here since the beginning. 5 stars on everything!!!

Excellent espresso drink. Really Cute shop but no seating during the pandemic.

Real neighborhood coffee shop without sterile corporate polish.What a coffee shop should be.The embodiment of Pilsen.

Love it, I always get the Mexican chocolate with almond milk its delicious!

Our team loves this place! we always order their chai latte and chocolate espresso! our team loves this place!

Wonderful coffee, even more wonderful staff.

Have been going here since I was a kid. Owners and Staff are always pleasant and the food and drinks are quality. You really wont be disappointed in checking this place out.

This café has been here for a very long time. I recently went to meet a friend for coffee and I’m so glad we did. It’s been forever. Small but a lot of tables, great coffee, little amount of pastries, and a small amount of sandwiches. This makes for a great hanging, great music, good studies place, and it’s just a delight! Excellent staff.

Coffee NEVER disappoints. An excellent go to for an excellent cup of coffee.

Great coffee. Made my cappuccino just the way I like it on their very first try. Simple order done right. Thats all I look for in a coffee shop. Plus very kind and friendly baristas that interacted with.

How they only charge $5 for a sandwich and side is amazing in this city. The ingredients are fresh and it tastes like a sandwich your mom would make you at home. Everything including service is ALWAYS top notch. This place is a Pilsen gem ♥️

Went in to buy a sandwich and some pastries, but as I was told that there were no more pastries for purchase since they went bad, I noticed the workers putting them in their pocket. Im a little concerned and confused that you are eating bad desserts instead of throwing them away. Sandwiches were good though. Would have loved a scone though.

I’ve been coming here for years! Love this place. Prices are so reasonable. Atmosphere is great. The staff persons are over the top friendly and so quick to make your order!

I love the food, the staff, and the service. Always have my food on time and they have taken the necessary measures to ensure everyones health and safety.

This would be my favorite coffee shop in the city if it werent already so well-loved- it can be hard to find a seat sometimes. But its worth it when you can.The coffee is good. If you order the bottomless cup with cream they give you a little saucer with real, cold dairy to add while sitting. This is a simple touch, but well-appreciated. They do iced coffee very well also.The environment is bright and cheerful, with some interesting art work on display. I especially appreciate the customer service. The young employees manage to be very courteous while also keeping things moving quickly.

Fantastic local spot for coffee and a little meal. Quite small, so dont expect to get a table on busier days. Worth checking out.

A favorite for 20+ years!!! The staff and the items... A special place in my heart.

Café Jumping Bean is a small business whose owners have created a cafe that honors Pilsens rich history while also celebrating the barrios incoming evolution of hipsters and young, urban professionals.The menu at Café Jumping Bean was thoughtfully designed to appeal to the polar opposite, yet intertwined cultures, tastes and lifestyles of the locals. Call it what you want...café con leche with a concha or cappuccino with a croissant...they have it. To each his (or her) own!The prices at Café Jumping Bean are affordable. I was excited to see that they were offering goods of comparable quality to that of Starbucks, at a fraction of the prices charged by many corporate coffee house chains.On this particular visit, my clients, Pastor Nelson & Principal Irma of NewLife Christian School (NLCS), and I made this our pitstop for coffee & dessert after lunch at a nearby location. As we left, I couldnt help but notice how the time had flown as we enjoyed the ambient life in the room that led to a productive meeting & time of fellowship.In the end, the Bean is a quaint and charming, street corner cove that most of us, including budget-minded students, can afford to visit a bit more regularly than the next place. The complimentary WiFi, eclectic energy of the atmosphere and accessibility to binge portions of caffeine and sweets lends itself to endless reading, creative writing and thought-provoking conversation. Consider Café Jumping Bean next time you too need some time away to think outside of the box.For the love of food, wine & service,Antonio Quintana (@AntonioQ312)@IgniteHospitalityChicago- - - - -FREELANCE HOSPITALITY SUPPORT:Social Media Campaigns | Digital Marketing | Online Guest Review Correspondence | On-Site F&B Service, Training & Management | Event Planning, Staffing & Execution#AntonioQ312 #LocalGuides #OnGoogleMaps#IgniteHospitalityChicago
