It offers delightful drinks and desserts, plus a jukebox that churns out ska, blues, jazz, pop and more. On Thursdays, an acoustic guitarist plays. This Bucktown entry combines the cigar bar and the trendy coffeehouse.
Lounge atmosphere is provided by deep yellow walls, black tables and burgundy chairs.
There is a full coffee bar, but the food selection is skimpy. Stogie Cafe carries about 40 brands of hand-rolled cigars in a wide range of prices. Weekends feature live jazz and blues.
