“I recommend this spot for people who are new to milwaukee they have plenty of drinks and desserts you can choose from. They also treat you with the most respect and they are so nice to you. There boba is delicious and might i say this is my favorite spot ever!!“

“AMAZING service and AMAZING food. We wanted to try a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup and they were happy to custom make it. It was made with beautiful, fresh strawberries, very generous pistachio and chocolate. We can't wait to try everything here! Thanks!“

“The coffee is really good quality. I ordered a cappuccino. The beans were roasted really well and taste bread . It was delicious. It's a pretty large Cafe and they actually sell other items in this mini gift store that they have. There's a lot of people that go there to study. It's a warm, inviting atmosphere. There is parking.“

“iconic business focused solely on the betterment of community and the people in it. every city should have places like this.“

“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.“

“Style Pop Cafe is the perfect name for this cafe. The decor is popping. The staff is so friendly and polite. My Caramel Latte and Blueberry Muffin were delicious!“

“We were a group of 10 cyclists with no reservations and we enjoyed great service from Cole!
Food came out all together, and everybody made short work of their meals. Thumbs up—with the exception of some finding their soup a tad on the salty side. My grilled artichoke sandwich was very tasty, the fries outstanding. When they heard one of our riders had a birthday, they also served up a generous slice of chocolate pie! And we all got to sample it! Thanks Cole for taking such good care of us!“

“Great space to work and connect with people. Great vibe. Very helpful and attentive staff. Clean. Definitely will be back!“

“Pricey.
I’m not convinced that the prices were worth the taste. Especially in the paper cups - I do admit that I’m somewhat of a tea snob. They do have some unique blends and they were nice, but I feel that a nice tea cup would elevate the experience.

Cold Brew
Friend had the coffee - he said it was good. But he’s not a coffee snob. Lol.

Meadow tea
Pleasant. Feels very herbal, and familiar.

Carrot tea
I have burdock tea all the time and the carrot tea tasted very similar to it.

Marshmallow tea
So I learned today that marshmallow is not the fluffy sweet white thing that goes in the middle of a s’more. Marshmallow tea was definitely unique, and I quite enjoyed it.

Barista/tea brewer was working alone and working fast through the orders. But during a busier time, she might have trouble keeping up. Very nice, and not too chatty.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“I recently discovered Rochambo, and everytime I've visited, Brian makes me the most delicious drink. He is always so bubbly and cheerful!“

“Love spell available to Reunite with your ex boyfriend/ husband immediately Love spell to Break up a couple and return your partner Love spell to Fix a broken and unstable marriages Spell to Attract that special new or a specific lover My powerful love spells to Bring Back Lost Lover are effective. Losing someone you love is like breaking your heart in two pieces, especially when you are deeply in love with that person.“

“Nomad Coffee Bar is consistently good! Their food takes less than 20 minutes after ordering and it's always delicious! It's almost always my go to Brady Street eats before they close at 7!“

“That Tandem Chicken is OUT of this WORLD! And the sweet potato fries too! What a gorgeous spot for a cafe! Thanks Caitlin and team!“

“Excellent recent experience. We visited on a Thursday afternoon. That made our tour group very small, just two adults. Very welcoming greetings with the staff. The best part is the presentation of the tour. If you enjoy great presentations of history, neat tidbits you might not get from videos or books, this is definitely for you. Looking forward to return visits with friends and family. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Highly underrated brunch spot!“

“Went there to use the bathroom while waiting on the bus. First of all, the posters in the bathroom are updated it seems-- the one I saw was for a picnic later in the month. There's also a live plant. I decided to order something, despite never being there before. Staff looked happy to work there and have me as a customer, which I think a few restaurants can learn from. I got a toffee cookie and a chai latte (be sure to add your own sugar if you like your chai sweet!!). The cookies are huge btw. Biggest one I've had that wasn't considered a cookie cake.

Only place I'd ever buy a $5 cookie from, you should too.“

“I think Stone Creek has amazing food and coffee. However their prices are quite frankly ridiculously high. It costs almost 22$ for a coffee and a waffle in my experience. The staff are extremely friendly and there’s a nice outside window for anyone with an animal. I just cannot justify giving 5 stars for what can be assumed as price gouging“

“Got the haven sandwich and lox bagel which were both yummy. The matcha was decent too. Came here on a Sunday morning/early noon and a DJ came to play some vinyl records and the vibes were great. Ample amount of seating and big picnic style tables that are large enough to play games with friends.“

“Anodyne ended up being the perfect wedding venue for us. The rustic meets modern downtown coffee shop vibes were just what we were looking for. Let me tell you, this place is nice during the day, but at night this place comes alive with the string lights, moody mirrors, and classic radio wall. My husband and I took moments throughout the night to just around and admire the dreaminess of the venue. We received so many compliments about the bartenders and the venue coordinator Erica. The bartenders were super friendly and fast, and one of them even told us at the end of the night how much fun they had too! Erica was AMAZING to work with throughout the year and a half of planning. From the very first email to the last goodbye at the end of the wedding, she was the reason that everything ran so smoothly. We had multiple meetings with her leading up to the wedding, and she was helpful and accommodating every time. She told us that her goal was for us to enjoy our day and not sweat the small things, and that's exactly what she did! We held the ceremony and the reception there, and the transition after the ceremony was seamless and took less than ten minutes. Erica and her staff also set up all of our decor. We left the decor with her the day before the wedding, and when we walked up the stairs into Anodyne everything was set up the way we imagined it. No, better than we imagined! They went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend Anodyne if you're getting married in Milwaukee!“

“Visited with friends last Saturday. Had absolutely the best chicken shawarma ever. The marinade and addition of pickles in the sandwich put it over the top for me. My wife had the beef sandwich with peppers which was equally delicious. Service was extremely friendly. The place was bright and totally spotless. The view of the St. Josephat grounds was nice too. I would recommend this place at or near the top of my list.“

“My friend and I ordered the dragon and karma smoothie bowl. Both were so good and fresh! We also had their coffee and the avocado toast. The toast was so fresh and filling. The coffee tasted great. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Really an amazing place, so impressed. Great bagels, cake, donuts, sandwiches, coffee, the setting is so cool. Hard not to enjoy yourself. The nicest staff. Very reasonable prices on the food, and beverages and antiques.“

“Delicious food,great service and one of the cleanest place!“

“For our daughter’s grad brunch we decided to have it catered instead of cooking ourselves & Green Baked Goods did not disappoint! Ordering was easy, communication was open & our order was beyond perfect. We ordered the biggest breakfast charcuterie board which was a huge hit with all the varieties of baked goods, & fun layout. The variety of mini quiches were delicious & the perfect portion sizes for a buffet style brunch. Also easy to serve. Cheesy potatoes & the French toast bake were so good I wish I ordered more for leftovers. Not a crumb was left behind. We will absolutely be going to & catering with Green Baked Goods again. 10/10 recommend this family owned business. Thank you GBG’s for helping us celebrate our daughter’s graduation in grand style! 💚“

“The best Puerto Rican food spot in the city! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Nice cafe right on 11th and Lincoln Ave in the heart of Lincoln Village
Great menu with alot of options
My fav is the tuna sandwich
But the crepes are a talked about favorite among others.
Great place to relax and enjoy good food and converstation.“

“This small coffee shop, tucked in the 777 build has been a nice ritual for me when I have to head into the office. The Brista is very friendly and he has made some pretty solid recommendations which have helped me change up my routine from a regular latte. I also like how they also have Lupi & Iris soups in the grab and go cooler, perfect when I don't have dinner planned for the evening.“

“la decoración y la atención“

“Food was incredible! Our server Claire was FANTASTIC! 10/10 recommend for a top tier dinner experience!“

“Butterfly museum 🦋 hands down amazing experience!“

“For all gelato lovers, Shoshovi's Cafe is the place to be.“

“The service here is amazing. The people here, especially Rose, are nice and caring. I like that I can get a cold or hot beverage. The food is great, too. And it's just a great place to sit for awhile. Very welcoming place.“

“Brim Cafe and Catering is truly an all-star and gem of the Milwaukee Area. They have graciously donated to Children's Wisconsin's Miracle Marathon the past few years, and made sure dietary needs are met in a delicious and incredible way! The Mediterranean Catering menu is a true highlight, offering incredible flavor! Pair that with the incredible service Brim provides, and it turns into a match made in heaven! I cannot recommend enough!!“

“Had such a delicious chai latte there today and a really scrumptious dill havarti and turkey sandwich (thanks, Mary!) I need to make a point to get here more often. Plus, today, some artists were selling their wares, so it was fun to see what was there! I had limited time so I hope this ad hoc makers market happens again when I can spend more time taking a look at everything. Also, the ambience at Hi-Fi never disappoints! I have been going to the cafe since it opened in the '90s; to me it is a staple of what an artsy and music focused coffee shop should embody-- true cultural gathering place to foster creativity and community.“

“No Other Words But Absolutely Amazing..Theres A CBD Store 3 Mins Away From Home, Yet I Still Travel To Both Locations Just Because They Are The Best!From The Food To Gummies,Drinks, Food And Flowers, They’re Great!Customers Service Is Out Of This World Every Visit!Local Customer Since Mayfair’s Grand Opening!#SupportBlackBusinesses“

“My 92 y/o aunt treated us at the plaza today. Great food and amazing service from chef Peter and crew. Thank you so much for the memorable experience“

“Best Asian Mart in the city! Wonderful people, great prices & product. :-)“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“This is a secret gem located downtown Milwaukee in what I call the Quarles and Brady building because their name is on top. But I am sure that’s not the name of this office building. However, Davian’s 411 has delicious food, friendly and fast service and affordable prices. The building also has a convenience store and gourmet popcorn shop with awesome, kind owners that run them. Each of these 3 businesses treat me really good and I appreciate them. Plus, the security desk has a great staff as well.“

“Great venue and a fabulous band led by Don Linke.“

“Recently, I stopped in to Casera MKE and got myself some food.

I ordered myself two cookies: A chocolate chip (first picture), and the Honey Creek cookie (second picture). Both were good! Especially that honey creek cookie — nice, buttery flavor.

The drink was their “Manila Fog!” Which is a London Fog but spiced with ube and sprinkled with coriander. I don’t mind the occasional tea, and this one was good and you guys know I’m all about ube and Filipino ingredients!

Had a great time at Casera! The vibe is really cool, the place is very big and spacious as well. Really bright and welcoming, too!“

“5 ⭐️ Can’t believe we finally got around to trying Miss Molly’s this past Sunday. It’s only a ten minute walk from our house. To say the least, we were very pleased! Tried a number of different breakfast items (including French toast, yogurt/fruit, breakfast sandwiches and muffins). Each one was delicious. Service was friendly and quick for how busy they were. All in all a great experience.“

“Coffee shop/bar - happing place. Smell of Coffee is wonderful, lively conversation, bright windows (look like doors open during summer), but back area is darker with a more intimate feeling. Sampled several beers and enjoyed all of them, especially the Bruv - it tastes just like an ambrosia salad (I know, not really beer like, but perfect for dessert). Staff was all very friendly.“
