Mingus

★ 4.5 · 39 reviews Caracas Opened 2026

Coffee bar by day, book-ahead vinyl room by night

Mingus runs two lives out of one room in Chacao. By day it's specialty coffee, pastry and desserts. Once the sun drops, it turns into a reservation-only listening bar built around a serious sound system and vinyl, not a DJ booth, a format still rare in Caracas.

Named for the jazz bassist, the place leans into the reference hard, the café light dimming into a small, quiet room made for records.

    It's a very nice place, the coffee is delicious, you can find options from $3.50. I liked the vinyl record concept, it gives it a different atmosphere, however, at peak times the place becomes too small and the service can also be a bit overwhelming.

    I came with my son for a coffee and we were delighted with the place. The friendliness, the service, and the rich aroma of the coffee charmed us. We ordered a Katsutera, a kind of small cake that wasn't too sweet but was excellent to accompany that delicious coffee. The only thing they need is a little more space, but they told me they're already working on it.

    I really liked the place and the atmosphere, however, I think charging $3 for a beer is very expensive 😭 especially in such a small, alternative venue. There were also very few chairs, so we were quite uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend going with large groups. However, I did like the concept and the music.

    Although small, it was very harmonious, aesthetically pleasing, and had a pleasant atmosphere. The manager or owner was very friendly. Unfortunately, the staff's service was poor; there were only two tables to attend to when we were there, and the service was very bad.

    April 5th, 2026 / Today I went to check out this new spot, a hidden gem, small but with good music, a pleasant atmosphere, the coffee ☕ was good, single-origin coffee (I don't remember which part of Venezuela) and the pistachio pastry đŸ„ was delicious. If you want to spend an afternoon, this place is great. Come visit it. We'll be back.
