50 Best Coffee Shops in Milwaukee

“best diner in town. consistent and quality 10/10“

“Absolutely love this place! Roast Coffee Company has the kind of cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay all morning. The coffee is rich, smooth, and clearly made with care — I had the vanilla latte and it was perfection. Staff were friendly without being overbearing, and the space is perfect for catching up with a friend or getting some work done. Definitely one of my new go-to spots in town. Highly recommend!“

“Great tasting Coffee Flight variety! Delicious & Fresh oatmeal, croissants & muffins.“

“Coffee was decent. The people who work here are sweet. No men when I went in, but no misandry either (not that I care because I'm actually a coffee god from another dimension). The place is HUGE. This is the kind of place where one could stretch out, do some work, play video games, and take drops from a guy named Geno or perhaps Biff.“

“Spending time at Discourse and trying their menu items puts me in my happy place!!! I love everything on their menu. So unique and takes on an adventure that leaves me smiling and in awe of the flavors and creativity! Thank you for always making my day!!!!“

“Best coffee shop I've tried in Milwaukee, hands down. Good quality, good pricing, and great super-quick service. I've gotten in and out in less than a minute which is incredible. Dig it, will continue to be a return customer!“

“Amazing spot for a chill laid back atmosphere with great music, coffee, and people!“

“Came across Al Wadi Coffee House today and ordered the Adeni Chai Latte, iced. I was blown away by the actual flavor of the tea. Tasted wonderful and was refreshing, not heavy and syrupy like other places I've been. Will definitely recommend and be back.“

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

“the cold brew is so delicious, the stuffed breads they have are unlike anything i've ever gotten at a coffee shop, and the vibes are immaculate. i tried the mocha scone, which was just alright, but that doesn't change my score much“

“shout out to mr walker..vliet location...for giving me water on those hot days delivering packages. thanks a bunch your fedex delivery lady“

“Great drinks, great pastries, great service. Every. SingIe. Time. I sure do miss those weekend chorizo hand pies though!“

“The young ladies are amazingly flexible and very kind. They can and will adjust any drink to any need, and they are always very friendly when I interact with them. If you ask kindly -and if there isn't a line of folks- they may just throw something custom together for you!“

“Awesome drinks and customer service 100% recommended“

“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.“

“I treated myself from this super cute coffee shop called Bear & the Bean. The sandwich was definitely delish! 10 outta 10...I recommend!“

“I have only visited the Sun Prairie location since October 2023. My go-to is the breakfast sandwich and my son, who is very particular about his French Toast, says it's his absolute favorite. I'm not a coffee drinker but their Chai is my favorite when I'm out and about. Don't forget to ask for the cheesy potatoes!“

“Sat outside with a cool beverage. Breeze was blowing & read a book. It was great“

“Visiting from England there was only one brewery tour that we were definitely doing and it was the PBR one! The tour is really interesting, our guide at 12 on Friday the 16th of May (sorry I forgot your name) was awesome, was a knowledgeable machine when it came to PBR. Wonderful stories and plenty of beer, Jim the owner was a great guy too, not as great as his wife who managed to get the football (soccer) on tv so I could watch Aston Villa ✅ Absolutely awesome place, plenty of cool merch in the shop too.“

“Stopped by Anodyne last week, I do like their roast but havent been to one location before. Service normal not the friendliest but ok. The turtle mocha was good but the nutty coldbrew was too watery. Probably going to stick with using their coffee at home.“

“Nice place for a read and nice cup of coffee“

“Good atmosphere,polite employees, just all around wonderful place that has an eazy, but vibing energy to it.😃☺️😜👏👍💯“

“excellent food, good and nice place, pleasant service, highly recommended“

“The food was yummy, the place is pretty, bathrooms are clean and the staff are nice, my only complaint is the price. I got a breakfast sausage burrito, and a 12oz mocha with oat milk, my total was about $21. Now I thought with that price the burrito would be very filling or at the very least large and the mocha have more umph to it. That was not the case, now I’m not saying it was super small, it doesn’t fit the price tag. This is a place to come to as soon as the paycheck hits and you’re feeling rich. It can be compared to those millennial burger places that look very nice and have decent food, but the prices are through the roof.

TLDR:
Food: 8/10 (pretty good, at least their sausage breakfast burrito which is what I had)
Atmosphere: 10/10 (they even have little swings)
Customer service: 10/10 (very patient and kind)
0 (it’s a bit over priced, but not scam levels)
Overall: 33/40, a B or 83%“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“This place is awesome!! the owner is so sweet and I hope his cat is doing good!! Food and atmosphere was awesome. we traveled from racine just to visit this place and it was worth it!“

“Delicious breakfast and outstanding coffee and smoothies. Great atmosphere inside and outside“

“Bob makes the absolute BEST coffee in the world. Sherman Perk is a Wisconsin landmark. It’s up there with Cousin’s Subs, Spotted Cow, crème puffs, cringles & beer brats. Protect them at all costs.“

“Best bagel breakfast in the city.“

“Wow. This is a special coffee shop on Wauwatosa’s east side that feels like a one-of -a-kind for Milwaukee. Appointed with local goodies (including artwork), string lights, and boardgames, Venture is perfectly unpretentious. The coffee is phenomenal and supplemented with high quality Sassy Cow dairy. Try the Cuban cortado this summer!“

“Went thru the drive thru today 8/29/25 and ordered a tall Vanilla Sweet Cream cold brew and cheese danish. Took a drink and the lid was not on. Coffee all over me and my car seat. Not happy. At least it was not a hot drink. I called Starbucks. They took my name and will be given to the Supervisor. Let’s see what happens when I return“

“Great food, staff is very nice.“

“Great owners and wait staff very clean Had BLT with extra bacon and cup of fruit“

“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.“

“Dryhootch Coffee House is a great place, and they offer a high variety of services to veterans in the community! This is a very impressive coffee house that is community-driven and accommodates to a very active social setting because the coffee house is a communial hub for residents and local vets, clashing together in the early morning hours over comradery and coffee. Seating is available inside and outside, and the patio is a great way to interact, directly with the city and incoming guest. I can't wait to see more of Dryhootch Coffee House as they are a real pleasure to have in my community, and they are so eager and motivated to get involved in the community! I highly recommend this place, and this coffee house should definitely be a top-favorite place to begin your morning routine! Lots of friendly faces and conversations going on, this coffee house is great for the community!“

“great food, first time there today. it's like a hidden spot I never knew about on the Eastside. On shift now I know where to grab a quick bagel . I will definitely be back.“

“Boyfriend and I came here earlier today for our 2 year anniversary brunch and OMG, we are so glad we did. If you go here, you HAVE TO GET the pancake batter cheese curds. Seriously amazing. We also got blueberry french toast and a breakfast sandwich and it was all amazing. I'd definitely come back here!“

“I placed a pick up order this morning for what I thought was this location but it was actually at another location (this is why I needed caffeine lol). I want to give a huge thank you to the barista that noticed I had been waiting a while and checked on me. He showed me kindness by not making me feel dumber than I already did and he fixed my mistake by remaking my order at this location. Thank you! You made a positive impact on my morning. 🫶“

“Came here today after an apartment tour nearby. Shoutout to Camden, Olivia and Daisy. They were awesome and they all had smiles on their faces. I usually get a frozen Caramel Marvel when I go to Biggby, and it was amazing as always. I absolutely LOVE Biggby and you have a forever customer in me. ❤️“

“Wonderful ☕ they sandwich off the chin“

“Good beverages and food. Friendly and helpful staff.

Vegetarian options: The smoothies can be modified to be dairy free. The berry booster with oat milk and spirutein is delicious. I also enjoyed the almond croissant and the impossible sandwich.“

“We stopped by for a cup of coffee during our recent trip to Milwaukee. The coffee was wonderful; expertly made and a very balanced taste. The cafe/store was comfortable and inviting to sit down and enjoy a coffee. Don't forget to try a baker good; they were tasty. Worth a stop and we will definitely be stopping by again.“

“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.“

“We ate here this morning and loved the food“

“This place gets an A+ for creativity on their seasonal drink menu. I came one afternoon while visiting the area and went with the hot honey latte. It was excellent -- good noticeable amount of spice and not overwhelmingly sweet. They clearly make their drinks with care; it's an art to them, and it shows. We sat for at least an hour. It's a good space to soak up with natural light, outlets, and a good amount of seating inside. The pastries and toasts looked pretty good, too. I'd go out of my way to come back next time I'm in the area.“

“Nice spot for a cup on campus. People were nice and attentive.“

“Chill place to unwind and enjoy your coffee ☕️“

“Good atmosphere,polite employees, just all around wonderful place that has an eazy, but vibing energy to it.😃☺️😜👏👍💯“
