HERO Coffee Bar
Chicago · The Loop, United States
Why it’s on the route
HERO is a small Chicago coffee bar group, with several shops in the Loop and one in Lakeview, that roasts its own coffee in small batches for its pour-overs. Its best-known spot is a walk-up window on Jackson Boulevard, set in an alley with string lights and bistro tables. The menu pairs espresso drinks such as a honey nut latte with made-to-order Chicago-style breakfast bagel sandwiches.
