My Pilsen coffee rotation

Okay so — I live and breathe this neighborhood between First Fridays and gallery load-ins, and my coffee order is basically a map of my commute. These are the spots I actually rotate through on a real week, from the Jumping Bean bench I've probably logged 200 hours on to the ones I hit when I need an excuse to walk past a new mural. Grab a cortadito, then go eat tacos after — obviously.
