On Twitter, I talk a fair amount about Intelligentsia Coffee. Thought I'd share an awesome experience I had there recently. I had just arrived to start up a session of writing, and I settled into my favorite perch. It was so busy in the cafe that another patron took my coffee by mistake. I know this happens all the time. After a few minutes, not hearing my name, I went to the check on the coffee in case.
They were so apologetic that it happened. It was not even their fault and they began fixing up my coffee right then and there. I was also handed a card for a free drink. I was very pleased, went back and decided to buy several other items with more coffee. This is pretty special coffee, I even took a picture. They decided not to charge for the new coffee, even when I insisted that I pay for it.

Even the coffee is pretty...

If you're ever in Chicago (or Sunset Blvd. in LA), check out Intelligentsia Coffee. It's outstanding, and it's just a high-class operation. I visit practically all the locations and I use the WiFi provided by WEBbeams where I own an account.
Stay tuned.
