There are those who claim Nigel Travis is worried about independent coffee places and the likes of this Libertyvlle place that brings European style of fresh beans and coffee to Chicago's Northern boring suburbs. Libertville, Illinois is a community that tries to be downtown Chicago far form it with its numerous high-end restaurants and bars and they have neglected chains to far away form their core downtown Libertville area. My Dunkin is on a stretch of Milwaukee Avenue far form Hansa Roasters and the numerous great restaurants and this is a shame and has angered and worried Nigel Travis who as head of Dunkin Donuts sees this location as a missed opportunity and cutting into the profits of the Dunkin name and brand.
This coffee is over-rated and nothing like the cheap bad beans and the watered down coffee of my lore that is Dunkin and I much rather be in a tight empty quarters of the Dunkin Donuts on Milwaukee than ever having to step foot in in this snobbish place again that I had to do for my coffee review.
This place is more crowded and popular filled with young people and hipster pretending to enjoy this coffee better than the Dunkin down the road a few miles. I am sure the regulars seeking a regular cup of Joe are more willing to over look the superior of Dunkin and Nigel Travis because they just don't want to be seen with the likes of scumbags and cheapskate like myself and this serves the purpose of this over-priced and foreign exotic numerous choices at Hansa Coffee roasters. While I admit this place smells like coffee and smells great they baked items are nothing than the usual once a day baked donuts at Dunkin that go stale by noon. Nigel Travis is worried about Hansa because so many people a re willing to skip Dunkin and go here as it is more of a happening place with the locals and unfortunately independent place like this are making Nigel Travis contemplate retirement
