Intelligensia's story

The story begins in 1995. Doug Zell and Emily Mange just wanted freshly roasted coffee. It was really that simple. After moving from San Francisco to Chicago, they found that great tasting coffee in their new city was surprisingly elusive. But instead of complaining or—even worse—settling for bad coffee, they hunkered down and wrote the original business plan for what would become Intelligentsia Coffee. Their dream was to open a café and roaster in the city’s emerging Lakeview neighborhood, and on October 9, 1995, the dream welcomed its first customers.
