Used to be a really great hang out with vegan fare easily available and lots of buzz. Now they have a couple of pies sitting in a unlighted case - none vegan, a few tired vegan options from the 80's on an ever shrinking menu, and a lot of empty seats to surround the 5 or 6 sad patrons staring silently out the windows. The still difficult parking suggest there are better options nearby. I recomend you try one of those.

I used to love this place and was really sad when it closed during the pandemic. It had great vegan selections. But the last time I ate there, the food was abysmal. I mean, seriously inedible. I don't know what happened to this place, but it's a real disappointment. I'll really miss their vegan ruben sandwich, but I'd never hazard ordering one again. Same for the fries.

Food is tasty but not worth the wait. We ordered a vegan special, to go, when there was a minimal crowd and we waited close to an hour for the food to come out. A horrificly long wait for something we ordered ahead of time. Very disappointed.

Staff is so friendly and inviting, food is delicious and general vibe is very cool and comfortable! I’ve visited Milwaukee twice and been to Comet both times!
Food had nice flavor. Clean. Friendly. Unique menu.
We come from Sheboygan that doesn't have any vegan restaurants so coming here was a field day. We were sat at a table and waited a bit longer for someone to come and take our order which it wasn't busy enough to not be attentive right away. Waitress was mediocre, she could have had a little more energy to her as she is an important face to the business. We ordered the califlower buffalo dip which was super good. My fiance ordered the vegan fish n chips which to be honest didn't taste that great. The tofu was super, super soft and the flavor just wasn't there. Not sure if the texture can be fixed?? Needs to be just a little bit more firm. Need to tweek that recipe up a bit, we think. I had the vegan stalsberry steak and mashed potato plate which was pretty good. The flavor that threw it off was the Brussel sprouts. I would recommend any other vegetable other than that one. Yuck. Throws all the good flavors off. In all was a cool place to check out. Happy to see vegan options on the menu.
Had brunch here on the patio on a nice Sunday. It was a little busy even later in the day. Excellent food options for all dietary needs and tastes. Great and efficient customer service.
Stopped at another Triple D place. Comet's Cafe is in downtown Milwaukee. If you weren't looking for it, you might miss it. For drinks, we ordered the East Side of Manhattan and the Sage thyme daiquiri. The drinks were nice and strong. We shared a Comet club on sourdough, fries, and a side of bacon. The sandwich was just a sandwich, but we really liked the fries and bacon. Our server was nice and attentive.
We just met the most wonderful, coordinated, friendly, generous, beautiful, waitress ever. Her name was Camille she made our whole experience so pleasant here at comet cafe. :) Love this place!

Stopped in for dinner recently, and it was so great to see so many solid vegan options back on the menu again! Great food, service and atmosphere.

Not sure if it was an off day, but the server was terrible and did not listen to our order. The food was so bad I couldn’t eat it. The menu online was also not the same as the menu they were offering.
