“This is one of the smaller locations that Starbucks has, but I've never seen a crabby customer or employee here. It's been a challenge to get to because of the constant Orange cone fever SE wisconsin constantly has, but thy still smile.“
“From the moment you walk through their corner shop door, you feel like you've entered a familiar and comfortable place. The service and atmosphere are just what you want out of a local coffee shop. Andy and Anya were super friendly and conversive. And she makes a fantastic cortado! The Cream City Brick and the nods to the local hometown make you feel like you've entered something truly Milwaukee. The coffee is great; it's now one of my Go-Tos anytime I'm in the area. What a great discovery this morning! Apparently, it only took me 20 years to fnd it! Happy 20th!“
“5 stars all around. Good coffee and snacks for the parents and tons of stuff for our 3yo and 1yo to do. the worst part of the visit was telling the kids we had to leave! this place really took care to make sure that all the bases were covered - diaper changing stations, plenty of toys to go around, diapers/wipes if you ran out. will be going back here for sure.“
“Everything is awesome...I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Their candor is dope, Devin is a wizard of brewed things and trust me, the bagels (everything bagel is my fav), croissants, macrons & bread loaves (the pizza bread is amazing for grilled cheese sandwiches) are fantastic. The new breakfast toasts are also worth checking out too. Below is a "pop tart" they made last week and I never knew a pop tart could be elevated but WOW. Awesome.“
“Unique lattes that make this a special coffee shop to come to in Milwaukee. I had the experimental Pirate Lyfe latte and I somewhat regret that decision. There was a distinct bitterness that didn’t go well with the other flavors. The atmosphere of the cafe is very calm and this makes a great place to read or study. The worker was nice and the latte making process is very visible. It was a cool place but it could’ve been better.“
“New owners still getting their feet grounded. Sort of an unusual place. Mexican and Thai food. Talked with the owner, a very nice guy. They are still experimenting with the menu choices, based on the customer preferences. We would dine again.“
“I’ve been looking for a new place to get protein shakes in Milwaukee and decided to try this place. Katy was a joy the minute I walked in! She talked with me about the menu and was very knowledgeable! She made a personal connection with me and was extremely welcoming. I will definitely be visiting this place more often.“
“I absolutely love this place! My bagel was absolutely perfect and as the breakfast sandwich, just to die for! The service was excellent and super fast. I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop.Parking: I went at 11:30 and had no issues finding a spot.“
“The most incredible brunch food! Come support this women-owned, Latina-owned business.Everything on the menu is fabulous, but I can’t help but order the Carnita Hash Bowl every time. Such amazing flavors, veggies, and a generous portion of pork. The Serrano Pork Belly bowl is also incredible with crispy yet juicy and tender pork belly. You won’t leave hungry.P.S. their garlic bloody mary might be my favorite in the city. Amazing, fresh bloody mix with a Modelo chaser!P.P.S. Check their website for their weekly drink specials for a $6 drink of the day!“
“Very nice place. Food was great. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was good. It wasn't busy when we went but even if it was full it feels like the tables are spread out enough to where you don't feel packed in. Food came out quickly. The portion was good too.“
“I tried 2 tasty warm items today a feta and spinach pastry and a chicken croquette. I would say these are some of the tastiest things I have tried in a long time. Flaky pastry with a buttery taste and a croquette with the chicken that was so flavorful! What a lovely place. They also offered other warm items, pastries and a lovely seating area and free internet. I will come again. Perfect for coffee, small groups, families or to do work on the computer.“
“The cake was absolutely amazing! The design was everything we wanted. Customer service was very good from meeting with the design team to planning the delivery and the execution of the delivery. Our guests loved the flavors of our cake. Great service! Great company! Thanks Aggies Bakery for playing such a major part of our day.“
“I really enjoy this cafe. Always great selections of coffee and snacks. The cafe can get very busy and occasionally doesn't have enough seats and enough staff to help wipe down tables and take out trash frequently during the rush times.“
“Super HIP place. Great bagels. Thank you Wisconsin Foodie. Bagels fresh and delicious. On weekends the line might be outdoors, and the line moves well. Had the Latke waffle! Yummy and crunchy. If you don't know what a Latke is, look it up or better yet, surprise yourself.“
“Cranky Al’s was our dessert choice for our wedding and WOW, they did not disappoint! We started with a quick meeting with Joey where he asked about our favorite candy, donut flavors and wedding colors. From there he curated the perfect mix and helped us choose from one of their beautiful donut stands. Joey and his team handled drop off and pick up which made the process seamless. Cranky Al’s donuts were the HIT of our wedding and we cannot thank you enough! Kaylee & Brian“
“My dog and I love going to Nomad coffee bar. He loves his pup cups. I cannot give 5 stars only because the one item I order is always “out”. I try to call ahead every time but no one answers the phone. Not ever. I’ve called probably 10 times in the past 2 months. I dislike that my dog and I have to walk all the way there just for them to tell me I can’t order the only thing I want. My dog doesn’t care cuz he still gets a pup cup because he will scream like an infant if he doesn’t get one. His eyes light up anytime we’re near nomad. Service is great regardless.“
“The smash burgers are amazing. The paninis are huge and delicious. The coffee is Milwaukee's own Pilcrow!!!!The bar is delicious. The lower level vault is a speak easy that is so fun. I enjoy karaoke Tuesdays but it seems like lots going on all the time.“
“Root Beer Chai! This is one of the specials and it was so good. I forgot to take a photo until I was home and it was gone. Subtle, balanced flavors. I added soy milk and I recommend iced. Some merch available and cute seating nearby. Highly recommend. Thank you!“
“Got the specialty flight and in my opinion the coffee flavor was not strong enough. Could be personal preference but the coffees were like sweet water. I’ll go one more time to get a regular latte to see if it was just the specialty drinks that lacked coffee strength. Also, maybe the way they are is fine for others so overall worth a try.“
“I’ve frequented this establishment the since the early 2000’s. They have consistently had a great atmosphere and staff. I saw another review that said they have the best chai tea latte and they are not wrong. Interesting adult menu, I can’t wait to come back and try.“
“Very nice set up and atmosphere. The baristas are always friendly. For some reason the crowd always seems off putting whenever I enter though, almost judgey. I haven't been there in a while so maybe that has changed. The chai tea latte is amazing there!“
“The brown butter dark chocolate mocha I recently had was easily the best espresso drink I have ever tasted. Super balanced between the espresso and flavoring and didn't have that grainy-textutre iced mochas sometimes have. I visit this area every few years and Stone Creek Coffee has been a must-go every time!“
“Great coffee house in such a quaint vintage village Interior did not disappoint with it's rustic, age old wood work throughout. Decorated eclectically and warmly, giving off a very welcoming vibe.Baristas were quick and efficient and above all the single pump mocha was divine! Just what was needed on a slightly snowy day.Thanks!“
“I was just here with a couple for their engagement! They are big fans of Likewise and wanted to included a coffee stop in their engagement photos. It was so cute, the staff were so nice, the photos are so good, and absolutely some of the best coffee I have ever had!“
“BEST cortado i’ve ever had—so smooth, and the homemade whipped cream on top was the perfect addition. the barista even explained that he added coffee bean shavings on top, which was a sweet touch ?we stopped in after going to retique around the corner, making for a lovely afternoon “
“First time visit & hadn't done hookah in YEARS, but this was definitely a nice reintroduction to it. Loved to local artwork on display, which is buyable if you're so inclined to do so (which I'm already trying to save up for 1 piece, lol). Would definitely recommend & plan on going back “
“I was introduced to this super cool coffee shop through a Yelp event and, for that, I am super grateful. It's a coffee bar with a large indoor space - lots of tables on the main floor and there's a second floor with additional seating as well. In addition to coffee and snacks, they have a bar with really good drinks, pizza, and sandwiches. We stopped by here after a date night at Glassnote next door for a bite to eat before we met up with a few friends for more drinks. We got a margherita pizza, which took about -25 minutes to get to us. You would think that for a coffee place, the food would be mediocre, but that is NOT at all the case! The pizza had a really nice thin crispy crust. The sauce was full of flavor and the olive oil on top was *chef's kiss*. The cheese was sparse (like a true Margherita), but the whole pie was easily one of the better pizzas I've had recently! They also had a live band when we stopped by, which added a very cool vibe and for a Saturday evening, it was super busy with all kinds of people - some socializing, some working. We didn't imbibe at this visit, but have had their espresso martinis before and they are truly top notch and I highly recommend!“
“The warm welcome we got from the lady at the counter was so good ? ? That made our day and we loved the coffee ☕️ and biscotti as well. Sat by the window looking over the street and enjoyed our time there. They also have a restroom and yes it was super clean. ?“
“Let me start off by saying that my opinion on the taste of my coffee is most likely not the average opinion. I have more of a sweet tooth, so the sweeter the syrup flavor, the happier I am. The Coffee quality is better than average. The customer service was very nice and felt welcoming. The atmosphere was really nice for anyone to sit in and enjoy some time there. Ordered the Madagascar vanilla hot latte, but there is not enough flavor for myself. Ordered a hot chocolate and simply not enough flavor than average coffee shop so it was quite disappointing. Would still recommend someone to try it out.“
“An amazing asset to our neighborhood and community. Love having a coffee shop back in Riverwest on Center Street and the owner does amazing community work/collaborations. More positive energy like this in Milwaukee please!! Plus the baked goods are <chef’s kiss>!“
“I got the veggie scrambler and my brunch mate got the breakfast sandwich on the croissant. Both were delicious, good quality food and good portion size, without breaking the bank! Very satisfied. Locally owned (the person working today is the owner, she's very kind) and good tunes playing! Highly recommended.“

“I live so close to the Stone Creek Coffee on Downer Ave. that I haven't ventured out much to the others in the city. Waiting for another business to open, I decided to stop by this one and read for a while. It's in such a convenient location, near grocery stores, the mall, and restaurants. It is a good bit small than the one on Downer, but it didn't really matter to me. Found a seat easily after I ordered my iced oat milk latte. It was pretty busy inside with people working on laptops, reading, or chatting with a friend. The baristas were super friendly, took my order, and quickly it was waiting for me. The inside of the coffee shop is very open and airy. A good amount of space for groups to meet or just hang out by yourself. It is winter so the patio wasn't open, but I imagine that would be a great spot during the summer. I'll have to revisit this summer and sit outside. A fun change up in my regular coffee shop routine!“
“Very cozy little coffee bar joint.The servers and baristas were nice and friendly chatting with customers over the drink bar. As well the coffee was a good sweet kick up in the morningWould recommend over like a Starbucks if your in the area“
“Fiddle heads is one of my most favorite places to go, whether to study, see friends or just grab a quick drink I love it! The peopel inside are always very welcoming. And my favorite part of the Fiddle heads is the outdoor seating options open year round. I love that in the winter I can still enjoy the "outside" while cozy and warm!“
“Very friendly staff, if you need something, ask them; if they make a mistake, tell them and they are so apologetic and will try their best to make it right. The food is also very good for the price. I was told that they are looking to expand their menu selections as well. They have paintings on the wall that has a price tag on, so they probably support the local artists as well. Not a bad place to have breakfast.“

“Love a good coffee shops. This location is very unique. The old pumping station, that has kept a lot of the infrastructure intact. It's a authentic view of some of some very impressive engineering.And the coffee part is pretty nice as well. Plenty of the usual drinks offering, and lots of seating. I ordered a London Fog latte. It was good, but lacked the typical foam head. Next time I will ask for extra.Will definitely stop next time I am at the lakefront.“
“While it may not serve me to make this place even more popular, I am posting this review to perhaps give more people the opportunity to enjoy an Italian coffee bar experience in Wauwatosa. There is also a Walker’s Point location. Divertirsi!“

“I was recommended to come here for the food and wow I was not disappointed! I was also impressed with how much seating this café has to offer- great spot for studying/working. I tried the avocado breakfast sandwich, the sausage breakfast sandwich, and the almond waffle. It is all amazing! If you like almond flavor, PLEASE try the waffle... I'm still thinking about how tasty it was!“
“Every time I visit here the coffee is consistently delicious and well made and the baristas are above and beyond friendly. They are patient and kind in helping you decide what to order, and keeping your tab open in case you want to order again. They collect your dishes and make your visit very enjoyable. The food is always delicious as well. Definitely recommend visiting!!“
“first time going here and we were intrigued a lot by the choices. everything on the menu was detailed and they even had a tablet with pictures of some menu items. the items we got tasted phenomenal and better than starbucks and other competitors. the atmosphere is calming when needed and controlled when busy. dan is a really chill and you just feel relaxed. highly recommend“
“I have lived in the "Joe's Cafe" neighborhood for six years now but had never tried the establishment. Last week, my husband & I gave it a shot. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL food! The portion sizes & quality of our meals was well worth the money. I would strongly recommend! ?“
“Wallace was fun, easy to talk to, and made me the most fabulous Mai Tai I’ve ever had. They have great recommendations and it helped that everyone in the bar loved them too and helped me figure out what I should get to drink! Amazing atmosphere to which I credit Wallace. We had the best “
“i was working in the area when i was approached by an employee. i was offered a coffee and the generosity could have made me cry. on top of that, the coffee itself was made perfectly. not harsh on the throat , too hot or cold, and the taste was phenomenal. the location is ideal; about a block away in all directions from busy traffic and it was just relaxing no matter where you were. the employees were compassionate about their customers and to me that deserves an award. they even support local artists! how amazing is that!!!“
“I grew up on the North side and still consider it home. Milwaukee has its own subset of issues, as do all cities. I would attribute most of this to historical segregation and a lack of resources. Regardless, the people at the Sherman Phoenix Marketplace are nothing short of wonderful. Intelligent, welcoming, and exceptional. Strong men and women!!!! Thank you for the banana pudding, hand-made hats and ear rings, chicken wings, and engaging conversation!!“
“A hidden gem! Usually coffee shops in the third ward are a bit pricy, but Full of Beans is vastly different, including a wide selection of pastries and any coffee you can think of. M-F they offer any size drip coffee for $1! The owner greets you every-time you walk in the door, and offers a cozy atmosphere with various books, games, and local events posted by the door. If you’re in the area, give it a try!“
“I had nothing short of a warm welcoming visit. They greeted me happily when I first walked in and the girl taking my order, kayla I think??, was so sweet. She had a smile the entire time and held eye contact and helped me figure out what to order. The woman making my drink, glasses maybe grace, was dancing and having a great time while making my complicated order. This location has pure vibes and I see myself coming back soon. They are all so sweet and happy“

“Small, quaint coffee shop with a sunny window to work out of. Adjacent to a sandwich shop.Fun seasonal lattes worth trying.It’s not my favorite Stone Creek location (there is a handful..try the location on Downer ave). But it still does the job if you’re just stopping in to pickup a coffee. Or if you need a little study break or work space. Not great choices for outlets. There’s 4 main tables if I remember right. But if there’s not space, then you could just go next door to Brueggers.“
“Great spot for meeting with others, working alone, or enjoying patio space. They offer multiple spaces to sit including a first and second floor patio. The coffee was great and I enjoyed the winter spice muffin which had mixed berries in it. The customer in front of me asked about allergy information in a pastry and the barista quickly looked it up in a binder for them.“
“Great little coffee shop with good drinks and pastries.There's not much in terms of ambiance as it's in the lobby of a building, in front of a set of elevators, but it's good enough to grab a coffee and snack.There is minimal seating, so you can't go with a large group, but fine if you're solo or with a couple of others.“
“When your goal is the whole experience, and you believe in families, and you want healthy food, and ESPECIALLY when you have a family member who is ADHD (for example), this is a wonderful restaurant! It's welcoming, peopled with kind hearts and knowledgeable, empathetic folk. It has a sensory room, and an art room with small, achievable projects. True, the menu is limited but the food is healthy and fresh, and by this time, aren't you sold on it? Go there. You'll be uplifted! We were.“
