Review: Who knew you could get a cup of coffee for less than a dollar in the city of Chicago? Not that the coffee brewed at Leon Nuevo Bakery is anything special. There is simply a large self-service coffee maker/dispenser near the front of the bakery. There is no changing the coffee every hour like some of the fancier chain coffee shops around the city, but I say "so what?" The fresh bakery that the fine people at the Leon Nuevo Bakery slave over every morning is payment enough for not-quite-up-to-par coffee. Besides, it is good enough to get you going in the morning and not as bad as, say... McDonald's or 7-Eleven's Coffee. The employees behind the counter are friendly and the smells from within the bakery are heavenly. If the apartment I've been eyeing becomes mine, I can forsee myself frequenting this place quite a bit for a cheap strong cup-o-mud and fresh pastries.
