50 Best Coffee Shops in Milwaukee

“Great service and the staff is always friendly“

“Nothing else like it in Milwaukee!“

“Amazing environment, beautiful thoughtfully curated decor, friendly staff, good prices. Decent selection of breakfast items. It smells like coffee right when you walk in, and they do brew it quite strong if you want.

Seems like a great environment to be a regular at.“

“Love this coffee spot! Their coffee is tasty and strong with a selection of non-caffeinated drinks & pastries.

They also offer coffee flights and themed drinks. Lots of seating available. Clean and well-lit. Friendly staff and quick service even during peak hours.“

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

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

“This gem is absolutely amazing! My favorite place to drink coffee, smoke hookah, or just chill. Best vibes I've ever had at a coffee shop! Everything that a coffee shop should be, plus a pool table. Found my home away from home.💜🔥“

“We enjoyed your Bay View location today for the first time. Weather was perfect to enjoy really good coffee, cinnamon roll/biscuit&jam in your outdoor seating area. Staff is so cordial, food and beverage is incredible, and the customer service goes above and beyond. Happiness all around - smiles galore! 😁 Definitely our new feel good spot.“

“Colectivo used to be my go-to, but now I'm hooked on Alderaan. Chris makes THE BEST iced lattes. The baristas are great at taking your flavor preferences and giving suggestions when you don't know what sounds good. Even if there's a line, it's totally worth the wait!“

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

“So good deliciousness. My favorite breakfast sandwich hack: order a side of butter grilled pillow toast minus jelly ($4) plus fresh avocado slices ($1.5); order side of Neuske’s smoked bacon ($3.5) plus a side egg perfectly cooked over easy ($2). Smash together. And boom deliciousness. I almost feel like not leaving a great review so this place doesn’t get busier.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I took the tour in the early 2010’s shortly after Jim opened this place. It was good then. I just took my friend on the tour this Monday. It was fantastic. A good overview of the history of Pabst and the buildings, and what Jim has done to the place is fantastic. Highly recommend the tour.“

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

“Happy to see Plant Based protein options. My protein shakes at home tend to taste a little chalky, but these were really good! They have extra things you can add in, and it’s priced similar to Starbucks so one could shift their morning frappe to something with protein while supporting a local business. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Best bagel breakfast in the city.“

“Great atmosphere, and a great Bookcrossing shelf of books to exchange or take.“

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

“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.“

“I had a smooth, hot and flavorful oat milk latte. Really good! The staff was friendly and the service swift. The seating at Fairgrounds is varied and ample. I also like that the music is soft and in the background. A great place to share and work. We enjoy coming here.“

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

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

“Been here several times. It's a nice location, with a variety of seating options, including an outside patio. The staff are always pleasant and they make a nice Chai Latte. This time the dining room was extremely cold. Had to put the jacket back on.

Parking: plenty of spots“

“The baked goods and sandwiches are so tasty. I love the cranberry pumpkin muffin with sportea. This location is where they roast coffee, and it can be very loud. The covered porch is quieter, and the courtyard is a magical space when the weather is nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get up to the front door. It has a bend/corner to not be too steep when I've used it with a stroller. I am not a wheelchair user, so I can only say it works well for a stroller. There is a designated space for the line to the cash register that is like a wide hallway. This wide section continues in a loop past the side door to the porch to the front door. The door on the porch that faces Humboldt leads back to the ramp, but does not have a door opener, so it may be hard to use. The other door leading to the courtyard will take you to stairs and no ramp. The courtyard is accessible from the sidewalk outside, and this is likely the easiest way to enter. In general, there are wide pathways, but in-between tables is less spacious.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food, staff is very nice.“

“Was visiting Milwaukee (highly underrated American city, btw) and stopped here for a couple beers. The bartender, Maria, was friendly and easy to talk to. The beers were solid and the ambience was airy and comfortable. I will definitely come back when I am in town again. Thank you!“

“Even the bagels are happier here! They can bathe in unique, flavorful and creamy spreads while accompanied by a plethora of other happy foods! It’s not everyday that I write about a bagel sandwich, but that Nashville Hot has me longing for more. Just Go!“

“What a great place to visit! Arcade games, fresh donuts and amazing atmosphere. my kids love it too“

“The Starbucks inside the Northwestern Mutual building is an awesome spot. You can get your favorite drink and bring it out into the public space. Lots of great light, different areas to sit, read a book, catch up on email or watch all the busy people go to work.

Parking: some metered parking spots on the street.“

“The lady at the front desk is ALWAYS eloquent and cordial! Always with a smile always with a genuine "Hello" I love feeling welcomed! This place in my opinion beats Starbucks !!!! ANY DAY!

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed.... But try and drink decaf plz ?

Parking: Street parking! And wheel chair accessible!“

“A wonderful café. The staff and drink was great. The atmosphere was clean, and inviting. I could tell the staff built good rapport with regular customers. To new customers, including myself, they gave a good recommendation and were genuinely interested in getting to know me. If I ever go back to Milwaukee I’ll definitely stop by.“

“Wonderful ☕ they sandwich off the chin“

“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.“

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

“North Avenue Market is a true hidden gem in our community. As a family-owned establishment, it exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it one of my go-to spots for meeting friends or escaping the house to get some work done. The food here is absolutely delicious, with a diverse menu that never disappoints. While I don’t drink, I've heard great things about their drink selection from friends.

The servers and staff are always friendly, contributing to the overall inviting environment. One of the standout features is the small stage for performances, adding a lively and cultural touch to the market. Though I haven’t yet experienced their event nights, it’s on my list for this summer.

The setup downstairs, known as the Garden Level, is particularly impressive. It offers a relaxed seating area, pop-up spaces, a cocktail bar, conference/classroom facilities, and office spaces. It’s perfect for a cool work-from-home vibe, even though my career doesn’t allow for remote work.

Overall, North Avenue Market is a fantastic spot that caters to a variety of needs and occasions. Don’t miss out on this charming community hub!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Wonderful service, everyone working there was very kind and helpful! They were willing to accommodate for non-cash payment if necessary. The food was delicious and a lot was given for the price. Very nice small diner atmosphere where the regulars seemed known by name. Would like to come back again when visiting Milwaukee!“
