I’ve never had much of their food aside from the black bean burger. Which is always well made here so I usually stick to what I like.

Seeped in individuality, culture and understanding that every day is an opportunity to have a delightful visit to your favorite cafe for a sip and a bite of a treat made with so much love.

Cafe Jumping Bean proves joints like that still exist. Break away from the chains peddling caffeinated milkshakes and make a trip to Pilsen to support this longstanding institution. Coffee is strong, smooth and delicious. The bites they offer are exceedingly flavorful and filling. We tried both the Lox and Mollete (add avocado). Bright, cool, funky and inviting just like you remembered and thought the future would always be. Make a stop, get out of the car, and spend your money at a place with heart, soul and comfort intact. You know, like how coffee is supposed to be.
