Cafe Mustache, Where Coffee Meets Counter Culture

Cafe Mustache is not your average coffee shop; it's a rebel with a cause. Nestled in the eclectic neighborhoods of Chicago, this cafe is a sanctuary for artists, musicians, and anyone who dares to think outside the box. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the subtle undertones of artistic freedom.

The decor is a kaleidoscope of retro charm and indie vibes, like stepping into the living room of your coolest friend, the one who always knows the latest underground bands and zines.

From the robust Dark Roast of Anarchy to the subtly sweet Socialist Latte, Cafe Mustache serves up brews that are as unique and rebellious as its patrons and each cup is a manifesto in liquid form. And if you're hungry, their vegan pastries are a culinary protest against the mainstream, deliciously defying all norms.

What truly sets Cafe Mustache apart is its commitment to community. With regular events like open mics and poetry reading it is a cultural hub where creativity flows as freely as the coffee.

So, if you crave a cup of coffee that comes with a side of counter culture, Cafe Mustache is your go-to spot for...

RACISTS A group of friends and I decide to stop in here for a few drinks. My friends got in before me. I walked up about five minutes after them. They were sitting in the patio section and I greeted them as I walked up. That’s when a person at the door laughed and told me “I’m not letting you in”. I was caught off guard so I asked him “me?” He said yes and walked away in to the bar. I was appalled by the reaction so I asked the other two people at the door what the reason was for me not being allowed in. The guy first tried to tell me I fell off of a scooter. Then he changed his story and said my friend (who was already in the bar) fell off of a scooter so that’s why I couldn’t come in. Then he told me that I was loud. Mind you this place was empty. While I am trying to figure out why I’m not being allowed in a group of very loud, and clearly drunk white women walk up SCREAMING and are allowed right in. When I asked how they are allowed in and I’m not. They didn’t have an answer. I am Middle Eastern and I was racially profiled that night. I would NEVER recommend this place. Unprofessional, rude,...

Cafe Mustache is a great place to grab some caffeine and work, but also to hang and grab a drink before hitting up other popular establishments on the Milwaukee strip. Keep it chill though, this place is 5 star relaxed, enjoy the ambiance in peace. Also, they host some other cool open mics and events that are fun to stop by for.

I highly recommend making a pit stop here before starting your night out to get the Stachesickle (spelling?), it's the perfect mix of iced coffee and vodka to get you a bit drunk and caffeinated for a long night that ultimately will end up with you blacked out in line at The Owl with a grilled Polish sausage in hand wondering how you got there and why you always seem to remember waiting outside in line at The Owl but not what it's like inside. Trust me, you'll want to just go home after you get the Polish, your night isn't going to get any better.

Better yet, stay at Cafe Mustache with your besties then call it a early night, you'll like yourself more in...
