Hawthorne Coffee Roasters

Always impeccable vibes. I truly feel like Hawthrone is the quintessential Wisconsin coffee place. Their oat milk lattee is a slam dunk every. Single. Time. I bring folks from out of town here and delight in coming here frequently with my family or solo. This place offers a little bit of everything esp when they have a food truck. Home town bar/coffee house goals here, my dudes.

Picture is from when I got some homies to indulge in the magic of the Oat Milk Lattees

The place has more of a country barn vibe than a rustic coffee shop and the main hall is pretty dark. The expanded area is brighter, with a rustic, still under construction kinda feel.

It’s not a cute, hip, photo friendly place. It is, however, a friendly, neighborhood coffee shop with great coffee. Their whiskey barrel cold brew is top notch and hubby always gets their pour overs.

The expanded area is not cute but large with plenty of space to space out and have conversations with friends or to put on earbuds and zone out.

This place is pretending to be inclusive yet has no clue… Worst customer service I have ever experienced in Milwaukee. I simply wanted a breakfast snack and some coffee with my friends and only got served narcissism, complete with an attempt at gaslighting. Don’t eat here! All they have is cookies and muffins, coffee was slow as duck so I asked for my money back and took it to Dunkin’.

Great place to sit back and have a couple schlitz. Also a good place to read..if you don’t have a book their book collection is filled with some good non fiction and sci-fi. Come here at least once a week. Baristas are welcoming and fun.

The pictures that are shown for this location is 4 years old, which I didn’t notice until ai walked inside. It looks more like a bar than a coffeehouse. I had the cold brew and my son had their shops featured bourbon cold brew. We were definitely disappointed in our drinks. The coffee was not tasty and my son said it was terrible.

Hidden gem of a coffee shop in Milwaukee. Such a cute and unique interior. Coffee is very good and has excellent service. Limited bakery selection that tastes pretty good. Such friendly staff and the patrons were all very kind people.

Really friendly staff, cool eclectic vibe inside. Lots of seating both indoors and out. Love that I can have a lovely iced latte in an actual glass instead of a disposable cup 🙌🏻

This coffee shop is close to the airport and I needed to work on a few work things hoping to find a quiet area nearby.

I came across this coffee shop which had a ton of space but on top of it, amazing coffee! Found out it was an old bowling alley and they definitely are making use of the space. Surprised it was not more busy for a mid morning Monday. Good spot and good people!

An old bowling alley. Drip coffee comes as pictured, novel. An added bonus is that a food truck and smoker from “Sweet Smoke” is often outside. Buy the bbq come inside, order a drink and life doesn’t get much better than that.

There is nothing more that I would like as to have this coffee house survive as there is no others in the neighborhood. That being said, please clean the space up. The ceiling tiles were falling out. The back room is just full of stuff. I know its primarily a roaster but the atmosphere is not compelling to visit. If they just cleaned it up a bit and maybe lightened the decor.... gave it a paint job, because it looks dingy. Maybe get some fun sofas and make the place inviting. The coffee and service was good though... so I did enjoy that.

I like it because their food and drinks here are really good and the desserts are really good. It’s clean and the chai lattes are really good.
