From Faisalabad to Chicago, Cafe de Cartes founder’s journey is a true coffee entrepreneur story rooted in passion, philosophy, and vision . Growing up with a love for great thinkers and a strong entrepreneurial spirit from his father, he built his first coffee cart at the University of Illinois at Chicago, inspired by his favorite philosopher, René Descartes.

As a true coffee visionary, our founder expanded from a small cart to a thriving chain of coffeehouses, each a hub for intellectual discussions and a celebration of specialty coffee. His commitment to exceptional service and creating spaces for connection continues to drive the growth of Café de Cartes today.
