History

Comrade Cafe is inspired by cooperative kitchens that sprouted throughout the world during the great depression era. The values of the comrade café resonate with communist ideals where classism would not interfere with one’s ability to have a hot meal. This ideology is reflected in the restaurant's logo and name.
