Two-toned hair and a smile


If there is one thing we love in a boy, its a sense of humour! How happy were we then when our Cute Boy sighting turned into the discovery of an up-and-coming comedian? Meet Trey M., a young comic who has joked his way right into our hearts!

Name: Trey M
Age: 22
Neighborhood: Glenview, IL but I commute to the city every day.
Hometown: Peoria, IL
Occupation: I'm in between "jobs" but I do stand up comedy and go to Second City.
Orientation: Straight
Status: Single
Sign: Libra
Wearing: Blue members-only-esque jacket with nice two-toned hair.
Seen: Hanging out at the Hideout BBQ
Fun Fact: I play keyboard but nobody really knows that because I do comedy. I used to play out in Peoria, but I gave up music for comedy.
You can find me: Doing stand up comedy 5 nights a week around the city. I'm usually at Coffee shops like Pick Me Up on Clark and the New Wave Coffee on Milwaukee.



You can see Trey M. perform live around the city, especially at Schuba's for open-mic on Sundays or Globe Pub on Mondays.

We'd Pick up this Hitch-hiker Anytime


There is nothing that we love more than a boy with a story. Jonathan J. is not your average twenty-something coffee shop eye-candy. At only 23, this Cute Boy has unconventionally traveled the world and the States by freight train hopping and hitch-hiking, all while continuing to be a award winning latte artist. Why can't all vagabonds be this cute?

Name: Jonathan J
Age: 23
Neighborhood: Logan Square
Hometown: Everywhere. Last was Colorado, but I've lived in four other countries (Germany, England, Japan, Korea) and Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Occupation: Barista at New Wave Coffee in Logan Square, and I roast coffee at Ipsento in Bucktown two days a week.
Orientation: Straight
Status: Totally Available!
Sign: Libra
Wearing: Coffee-stain friendly t-shirt and jeans with his signature bandanna.
Seen: Pulling espresso shots at New Wave Coffee
Fun Fact: I like traveling illegally on Freight Trains. Basically you wait for a train to come by really slow and you jump on. Sometimes you can ride in an empty engine and you just travel. The farthest I've gone is one state, from Colorado to Wyoming, and I actually hitchhiked back. I also used to be the third-best latte artist in America!
You can find me: New Wave Coffee, the Violet Hour, the Rocking Horse, and every now and again at the Whistler.

I like my boys like I like my coffee...


I'm not saying that we go to cafes specifically to hit on or stare at Cute Boys behind the counters, but at the New Wave Coffee this is a burgeoning trend amongst the Logan Square ladies. Meet Mike H., one of two Cute Kansas City cyclist boys who fill our days with a strong brew and eye candy behind the bar at New Wave Cafe. This Boy could sell Juan Valdez coffee. I mean, if Juan Valdez was into dudes. Because he's hot.


Name: Mike H.
Age: 25
Neighborhood: Logan Square, around Fullerton and Kimball
Hometown: Kansas City, MO, moved to Chicago June 2008
Occupation: Barista at New Wave Coffee
Orientation: Straight
Status: Taken
Sign: Virgo
Wearing: Vintage glasses with cut-off black shorts and biking hat.
Seen: Hanging around Logan Boulevard.
Fun Fact: I collect a lot of Star Wars memorabilia, like big-time. I have an entire closet full of stuff. I don't know if my girlfriend knows how much of this stuff I have.
You can find me: Mostly on my friends porches, I enjoy the Two-Way, the Whistler, and Bottom Lounge is pretty fun, so is the Empty Bottle.



(Juan is totally on his way to the New Wave right now.)
