I'll Drink Your Moonshine Anytime

We couldn't help but swoon when Lula Cafe bartender Brenton E. was mixing us drinks in the middle of the afternoon (that's how we do it here at CuteChicagoBoys.com). Find out more about this full-time bartender, part-time bootlegger, and bassist of local band Pool of Frogs: Meet Brenton E!

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.

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

Bang Bang Barista

Sometimes you really can't judge a book by it's cover! We caught up with one of our favourite baristas from The New Wave Cafe and boy, were we surprised by what we learned! Not only an avid cyclist, this boy grew up on a farm and has quite an interesting hobby! Meet Joshua B.!
