Strawberry, Pineapple, and Violet. Velvety and Delicate. Our coffee team has called this coffee the gold standard for Ethiopian Geshas. If you only ever try one, make it this one.

Ethiopia Gesha Village Narsha Natural comes from the Gesha Village Coffee Estate, located near the storied Gori Gesha forest where the varietal was first catalogued in 1931. Here, only perfectly ripe cherries are meticulously harvested by hand and then sun-dried. The result of this careful harvesting is a natural processed coffee that is bright, clear, and retains all of the distinct characteristics of the Gesha varietal that we love.

Find it available on our website today: https://www.intelligentsia.com/products/ethiopia-gesha-village-1931-natural

The Mont Blanc Cold Coffee extinguishes summer heat in an instant. Its vanilla cream cold foam, fresh ground nutmeg and spritz of orange citrus leaves you satiated and a few degrees cooler. This won’t be on our menu for long - so head over your coffeebar to try one soon.

Today we're bringing back an Intelligentsia mainstay, first introduced over 20 years ago.

La Tortuga debuted in 2004, sourced from legendary Honduran producer Don Fabio. Like the tortoise in the classic fable, Honduras was still emerging on the specialty coffee stage at the time, steadily building recognition alongside its Central American neighbors.

Today, Honduras is firmly established among the world's great coffee origins. Don Fabio's daughter, Marysabel Caballero, and her husband, Moises Herrera, continue building on the foundation laid by generations before them, carrying the family's work forward.

Get ready for a shakeup, FOUR new seasonal drinks arrive today! Our summer menu shines bright with themes of orange zest, toasted coconut and a healthy layer of cold foam.

We start with the Orange Creamsicle Matcha, a sure-to-be favorite with its housemade cold foam and orange sugar garnish.

Our Mont Blanc Cold Coffee stays true to its beginnings as an Australian favorite, complete with vanilla cream cold foam and freshly grated nutmeg - a fitting tribute.

Vegan cold foam is the star of the Toasted Coconut Latte, complimented by crunchy bits of coconut shreds on top. Try it both iced and hot!

For the days that need a light and refreshing fix, the Shaken Yuzu Iced Tea checks every box with its rotating base of iced teas and a tart, fruity finish.

Starting today, summer signature drinks are available at all coffeebar locations. We’re excited to share each one with you this season, cheers!

A toast to the cities that shaped us.

Chicago is where we started, and Los Angeles is where we first grew beyond it. Both cities have influenced how we think about coffee, hospitality, and what it means to show up for a neighborhood.

Our two newest mugs are for them. Find them online and in our Chicago and LA coffeebars.
