Sweet Bean

Sweet Bean is a laid-back Taiwanese cafe in the South Loop with lots of tables and great snacks. The focus here is on coffee and pastries (like egg tarts and sesame balls), but they also have a long list of tea lattes and fruit teas. And while studies have shown that nothing helps productivity like pineapple buns, Sweet Bean also has savory options like hot dog buns and bacon cheese milk bread toast, too.
