The Coffee & Tea Exchange

The Coffee & Tea Exchange in Lakeview, Chicago, is a retail shop full of jars of loose-leaf tea, brewing gear and fresh-roasted coffee. It's mostly for beans, tea and drinks to go, and lines move quickly.

The London Fog latte is a local favorite, and there's a monthly themed drink menu. Coffees run from light breakfast roasts to dark roasts, with single origins, blends and flavored options like blueberry. The staff can help you through the tea selection. Everything is also sold online.
