A smoke-free Fuel Café might sound like an oxymoron, but according to Fuel co-owner Scott Johnson, it's true. On Oct. 1, almost 14 years to the day since the café opened, it will no longer permit cig smoking.

"It's kind of a big step for us, but we're pretty stoked on the change," says Johnson. "Kind of an end of an era though, and that feels weird."

Earlier this week La Merenda, a Walker's Point restaurant, also announced it will go smoke-free on Oct. 1.

Stay tuned to OMC for a full article about the future of The Fuel, Milwaukee's original hipster coffee shop.
