Blue Box may be most famous for having a pop culture moment in Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” video (yeah, you know—the scene with the bikers at the bar). But it’s also been a popular cafe/bar mainstay for more than 20 years.

Frequented by students, cultural denizens and local 7th district residents, it features a well-praised breakfast served through to the late afternoon (until 17hr), and also offers some vegan items on its menu. The former ’80s hot spot also has a daily DJ program, spinning low key electronic soundscapes that add to, instead of interfere with, your conversation. A few local experimental electronic musicians can also be found DJing here from time to time like B. Fleischmann.
