Jimmy Beans Coffee Club — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Jimmy Beans is a brand new cafe and nano-sized coffee roaster, they roast beans in small batches on-site, and serve a rotating selection of 10 different varieties. They sell beans to-go, and if you're so inclined with the DIY spirit, they also sell fresh beans and small home roasters.

I had the Guatemalan which was very rich with an unsweetened dark chocolate flavor. The coffee is unique from your usual corporate stuff, and the rotating small batches keep it interesting.

The space itself is very cosy, with an eclectic artsy flair. In the back there are murals by local artist Sick Fisher, a corner couch, and the large coffee roaster to one side. Various art by local artists adorn the front walls. The coffee counter is on the right when you walk in, with various goodies by local baker, Baker Miller. Prices and sizes are listed on the menu chalkboard. I also got a free sample of the nitro cold brew coffee on tap, which was very good.

This is a great new local spot, i'm glad they're in the...

Yeah so this wasn't a great experience. I decided to walk up there to check it out and give them some business because it'd sort of a low foot traffic area.

I thought maybe there was some confusion so I asked if that was the large. He said yes. Its pretty much the size of a small at dunkin donuts. I know because I had to go there after and get a small. He then tells me its $3.25, I have to say for the amount and quality of the coffee, its is probably the most i've paid for coffee. I didn't think it was anything spectacular at all. The guy didn't point out where the cream and sugar was when I was looking around. I'm not the type to gripe but this was not great. If these guys want to make it they need to rethink...

This is place is a total GEM. If you’re looking for a cozy cafe in Chicago to pass the time, enjoy a great cup of Joe, or just work on your laptop for the day, Jimmy Beans is the spot. The interior offers a calm ambience and respite from the business of Fullerton Avenue—baristas cultivate an inviting playlist that makes you feel welcome to lounge on the couch and sip your brew. I found myself being extremely productive on the computer after I ordered a hot coffee followed by an iced herbal tea. They’re in-house roasting program offers elevated coffee quality. I highly recommend their “Tropic Blend” 10/10. I wish more cafes were as welcoming as...
