A
Kopi, a Traveler’s Cafe
Kopi wafts an Asian trekker-lodge vibe, from the pile of pillows to sit on by the front window to the bean-sprouty sandwiches, lefty clientele and flyer-filled community bulletin board. The little shop in back sells travel books and fair-trade global gifts. Wine goes down the hatch for half price on Wednesdays.

Cafe Jumping Bean
This ramshackle cafe will make you feel like a regular as soon as you step through the door. It serves excellent hot focaccia sandwiches, baked goods and strong coffee to the 20- and 30-something crowd of MFA-wielding local bohemians. Chess and domino games are always breaking out here, and the comfy confines make it an excellent spot for whiling away a couple of hours with a mocha, soaking up Pilsen’s colorful surroundings.

Bourgeois Pig
An old-style coffee shop with big, creaking wooden tables and chairs, the Pig serves strong java and whopping sandwiches. It’s a convivial place to grab a bite while working through the newspaper or chatting with friends. Tea drinkers and vegetarians will find many options on offer.
