So upon our arrival here in the beautiful frozen city, we made our way to finding the best places to eat, shop, view art and max out. Not only did we find one of the best spots for the maxxin’ and relaxin’ (sippin’ coffee and chewing on pastries) but we found a very close and comfortable coffee shop full of art, music and life. The place is the Urban Bean on the corner of 33rd and Bryant in Uptown. As I mentioned before, it’s only 4 blocks from our place but it’s very close to all of the shopping and restauranting you could ever ask for. Anything blocks from Lake St. is worth a look and I think that the Urban Bean should be added to your list. As you can see from the flicks, there is a super clean interior aesthetic with a lot of light, plenty of menu options for any persons beverage delight. All of this coupled with pastries, consistently good music playing and the designerly talent of local John Vogt on the walls, I was struck. What originally started as a hunt for a good coffee/wifi spot ended in finding the best coffee I’d had so far in the city. Make sure to keep your finger tips tingling for their website and Myspace page. I was told, all is in the final stages of production and should be up soon.
