We were a bit surprised to hear that Chicago is the USA’s most Caffeinated City. Quite the award, but then again it’s not all that shocking when you consider you can’t throw a stone within the city center without hitting a Starbucks… or Potbelly’s… or Goddess & Grocer (yum!)… or Au Bon Pain… Metropolis. We all love our Intelligentsia too, you get the point. This all according to a recent survey from the website Bundle. You would think the title would go to Seattle, New York City or San Francisco. Heck, even Los Angeles and Portland drink a lot of coffee to think of it. But fortunately (or unfortunately if you’re not sure whether coffee is actually good for you or not), Chicago comes out as the top city for coffee consumption. Hmm- maybe a Chicago Coffee Tour is in order!
Here are some of the stats on the coffee drinking habits of Chicagoans:
Residents spending on coffee: 2.94 times the national average
Number of Starbucks per 10,000 people in Illinois: 0.323
