Small cozy coffee shop in Logan Square. Pretty quiet especially during Covid - no where to Dine Inside but theyre more than happy to give cozies/etc so you can have what you need as you leave.Few different and interesting flavors such as Black Pepper Fig Coffee. Also has artwork from around the community. Seems like an awesome place to spend with a book during normal times

Quite possibly the best latte Ive ever had in my life. Paired with eccentric decor and jazz playing from a record player? Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

I prefer well seasoned food. It was rather bland for my tastes. The grain bowl was just ok. Service was quick and I was hungry, but I wouldn’t seek it out.

I tried their iced smoked maple latte and it was delicious! The flavors were subtle and smooth. I also tried their pumpkin chai muffin. It was soft with a little crunch from the pepitas on top. Perfect for fall!

It was definitely a unique experience! This is my first time here in this coffee shop and definitely not my last. They have fantastic taste of coffee and exceptional customer service. The staff is warm and friendly, the foods are great, and the overall shop is astounding. This is the best coffee shop I have ever been to. Highly recommended!

The bar next door to the cafe is amazing. After 6pm, they don’t serve coffee nor offer WiFi.They had a DJ playing some jazzy/old school hip hop music. Awesome, low-key place to hang out on a Saturday night.

Unique cafe. Sells Chicago bands on vinyl, plays records for background music (currently a Link Wray album with songs by his influences), plays music in bar side at night. Decorations are thrift store finds: old globes, Nat Geo mags, etc. Some fun paintings of water bears/tardigrades in bar side right now.

I found this place through a friend several years ago, and I LOVE their iced coffee, among their specialty hot coffees which are also delicious, pastries from local bakeries that are out of this world, and not to mention their uniquely crafted brunch menu with vegan friendly items - which keeps me coming back for their weekend brunch specials. This place is cozy, offers free WiFi perfect for when you need to study or work from home, and has just the right combination of good tunes that aren’t blaring to keep you focused on reading or allow you to have a conversation where you aren’t shouting to hear the other person. Highly recommend checking it out!

The food is fresh and fantastic. The coffee is delicious and well made. The whole place has a chill and friendly vibe with a unique setting. In the evenings they have live music and cocktails. It seems like a dream come true.

“The perfect bar to go to for a chill time.” Those aren’t my words, nay, they are the words of a companion of mine, but I was struck by their truth. It truly is the perfect bar for a chill time. Bless you, you mustachioed mixers, bless you.

I love this place! They always have a show with the most unique acts. A Capella Punk Band? Check. Lawyer singing about court cases to electric guitar? Check. Crazy talented folk act with upright bass? Duh-doy!

Review №28

This is a new choice spot for me to do work. This establishment transitions from a coffee spot to down-tempo cocktail lounge to do work- that also serves affordable beer offerings too. I mainly go because I enjoy eavesdrop or jump into conversations on synthesizer, electronic music, Chicago music scene history conversations when I need a break from my work at hand.

Review №35

Great venue and multi-purpose space. I have seen a few shows here; usually the neighborhood band or a friends show. Its a perfect intimate space for that local type of gathering. Coffee shop with ample board game selection on one side and a bar with classic Chicago drinks on the other. Multiple bathrooms, credit cards accepted.

Ive never been to a place thats as discriminatory as Cafe Moustache. If you dont look the way they want you to look, watch out, because theyll mistreat you.

Br
Review №37

The single best chill, non-bro, non-deafening bar for good conversation and interesting entertainment. If you do visit and there is programming, be sure to make a contribution, even if you didn’t plan on the show. You’ll help local artists and feel better about yourself too. Come back during the day for great coffee, tea, food (and internet) as well.

Nice little coffee spot. Food is really good but a little pricey. Excellent coffee drinks and cute hip atmosphere. Bring back the chicken salad sandwich! Breakfast burrito +organic bacon is outstanding.

Review №39

My personal favorite cafe in Chicago. Love the homey vibe, the vegan chili is a lunch staple, friendly service, dedicated neighborhood ownership, good teas, and its a great little bar at night. Good gumbo. Soup specials are always good, often excellent. I love their vinyl collection. This is my number one hangout in Logan Square.

Felt old but I kinda am. People were good at karaoke and the bartender forgot to ring us in for two of our shots. I grabbed Jesss butt and thought about how amazing she is. Im crazy about her. Didnt smoke any weed here but it seems like it wouldnt be that big of a deal.

Review №41

I love the atmosphere, its very eclectic and retro. The people working are always so kind and laid back and the coffee is fantastic! I highly recommend the dirty chai if thats what youre into. Its a great place to go solo, to work on a project, or to meet up with friends or a group. Plus theres a bar in the back room, so you can get your caffeine fix before you have a few drinks, and there are plenty of board games to choose from to help break the ice with people. Support local stores and come here, you wont be disappointed!

Review №42

Always friendly staff, love the Bridgeport coffee and everything bagels. I stop in almost daily for a chance to listen to an ever changing variety of vinyl while I sit and read a book. Very nice vibes and there are no shortage of board games to occupy your time. Highly recommend

Awesome cute little place, love the atmosphere and the music. Its busy but not crowded. The breakfast wrap I had was perfectly made, and there are plenty of places to work from with a laptop. Didnt have many three prong outlets, but thats the only downside.If I lived near here it would be my regular spot, but since I dont Ill just come here when Im in the neighborhood 😌

Review №46

Ok coffee, cool atmosphere. They stay open later than most other coffee shops in the area and you can grab a beer while youre there too. If you stay past 7:00 you might witness a random poetry reading or musical performance.

I went on a Saturday night to check out a friends band. I dont have any problem with the staff, the place, or anything. It was just nothing to write home about. I was greeted with strong B.O. upon entering. I left and hour later feeling old and crotchety. Ill probably check it out on a weekday for coffee. It seems like a good spot to catch up with a friend or a first date. There are board games and good vibes.

Man, I wish Cafe Mustache were right outside my door. Its a very comfortable coffee spot that delivers a fine cappuccino at a decent cost. It also smells like the coffee houses of my youth smelled: Coffee + hippy musk. Love it.

Cafe Mustache is a great place to work and meet up with people over coffee or a beer. Its been expanded in recent years and now has a bar side in addition to the cafe. They have an all you can drink coffee option, as well as all the other drinks. They have chili and other more typical cafe foods. Theres lots of nighttime programming in the bar

My friend and I walked in this cafe yesterday night. We really liked decor and vibe of the place. It is very huge! We liked the art on the walls and music was decent. Service was friendly.The only con I can tell about was when I asked for a cortado, a barista told: sure we can do that and I got a small latte instead served in 8oz cup, which was good though. My friend enjoyed her flavored one.

One of my favorite coffee spots in the city. I like going in there, friendly staff. Only thing is the internet is shoddy and for how good some of the surrounding coffee is they should probably up their product.

Review №92

Went to see a show, had a decent set up and seems like they really support local artists which is great! Space is divided into 2, but that left very few tables on the stage side, and I saw some awkward encounters between the bouncer and a couple trying to grab some chairs so they could watch.Drinks looked great, I wasnt into drinking that evening and was super happy so see they had coffee and La Croix on the menu! Coffee was fantastic. The women next to me ordered their vegan chili and the serving size looked generous!Overall, good drink options and great community feel. Set up is just kind of cramped and awkward for more than say.. 20 to 30 people on the stage side.

Best mocha in Logan Square. Great entertainment. It would be great if they served a limited coffee menu at night because they’re still open but I understand they need to have a barista on staff to do that. It would also be nice if they kept the WiFi on when they were open. They turn off the WiFi at night. I’m not sure why.
