Cafe + Cabaret!
Café Cabaret began as a true coffee shop cabaret featuring dance, comedy, storytelling, music, and more. We feature a rotating cast of Chicago favorites and new talent. From poignant to funny, mirth to disaster, and everything in between, Café Cabaret promises an electric night of eclectic entertainment. We are excited to be in a new home, Sideshow Gelato, where they serve some of the best craft-made gelato ever, along with hot dogs and pop corn. They also serve up a menu of entertainment that now includes Café Cabaret!
