Apparently other states have finally received the memo that Chicago isn't a food desert full of Midwestern simpletons — and they have started moving in on us. Resident staples Intelligensia and Metropolis seem to be seeing some small competition from non-local independent roasters. Portland's
Stumptown Coffee recently nabbed newly opened Bagel on Damen, while Milwaukee roasters,
Alterra, have been popping up at
Oak Mill Bakery and
Bleeding Heart Bakery, where they are hosting
a coffee tasting and brewing demo on Feb. 20. Does this mean there's a chance San Francisco's
Blue Bottle will branch out to Chicago? We'll keep you posted as this brews.
