First time at this location. It recently took over from another coffee shop and is literally right across the street from the main Colectivo location. Outside, there are several patio tables under birch trees in a park-like setting. Inside, the space isn’t large — the barista counter is on the left, with small tables for 2–4 people. The design is simple and minimalist, creating a relaxed and quiet atmosphere.
There were only a few other people when I arrived. I got a friendly greeting from the barista and ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam) in a mug. The pastries they offer are not the typical American or French styles you see in most coffee shops — they’re Italian. I had hoped to get the Sfogliatella, but they were out. Instead, I chose a Cornetto (similar to a croissant) with almond filling. They also offer apricot, pistachio, and chocolate.
When my London Fog arrived, I noticed tiny black specks in the foam. Don’t worry — it’s a good thing! They make all their own syrups, and because they use real vanilla beans in their vanilla syrup, you see the flecks of vanilla (just like in many gourmet vanilla ice creams and custards). The Cornetto was fresh, flaky, and had the right amount of almond filling. Details like this are what set Vendetta Coffee apart from many other local shops.
One of my favorite coffee shops in the Milwaukee area.

Top quality cappuccino. Excellent attention to proper foam-to-espresso mixture in our 8-oz drinks. Foam was delicious and velvety. Also had a few croissants and they were perfectly flaky and not over-flavored with almond or pistachio. Good environment for casual seating indoors and outside as well.
We’re out of towners so we will be back on our next visit to Milwaukee.

Accidentally swung in right after closing time, but barista was still very kind and helpful as I needed to purchase a gift card. I have only been to the Walkers Point location for beverages, but looking forward to swinging back into this Bayview location for a beverage sometime soon!

After work I stopped in to order 2 drinks and paninis for me and my relative, the beautiful and attractive asian woman took my order, I got my drinks and food fast. I sat for a while drinking my coffee, the inside decor is nice, the music gets the vibe going to. I'll be ordering again!

Checked this place out this weekend, only 4 days after their official opening. I can say that the coffee is delicious, and the service was great! We order the Marocchino and the pure cold brew, both delicious! We loved the cold brew so much that we came back 2 hours later for more. I still want to visit thwir other locations and try some of their food. Based on this experience, I am sure they will be great!
Update: place still great, this time tried some of their breakfast sandwiches (unfortunately just took phot of the ham and sandwich one, when i remembered to take the photos, the other one was gone 😅). The Pistachio Latte is pretty good too.

Vendetta Coffee Bar is hands-down one of the best spots in the city. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with an inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends modern charm with cozy comfort. The vibe is effortlessly cool—whether you're stopping in for a quick espresso or spending the afternoon working or catching up with friends, it always feels just right.
The baristas are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. Every drink is made with skill, care, and passion, and it shows in the taste. They’re always happy to make recommendations or customize your order, and they remember their regulars—it's that personal touch that makes all the difference ❤️
( I love all the girls that work there!)
Whether it's a pastry to pair with your morning coffee or a more filling bite to eat, everything is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The quality is consistently top-notch. I highly recommend the Bambolino, or the Cornetto, delicious 😋
And then there are the owners—They are very polite! They’ve created more than just a coffee bar; they’ve built a place where people feel welcome and it's clear they care deeply about both their team and their customers.
Vendetta isn’t just a coffee bar—it’s a local treasure. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or just someone looking for a place to feel at home, this is it. Highly recommend, and it is my forever favorite spot ❤️

Had the shaken espresso coffee/espresso martini and it was fabulous. Love this new location in Bayview! Dog friendly, outdoor patio and great staff that's friendly.
I also loved that they offered my dog a pup cup! Love the option of bringing the dog and relaxing here.

Edit: Accepts Cash! Owner is really lovely. Wishing them all the best. 🖤
Terribly decorated. Almost no thought was put into the decoration of this space. Cheap IKEA pendant lamps, Hobby Lobby-esque vibe. Olive Garden looks more authentically Italian. However the thrifted 70s’ brass vessels look good.
Pros: Drinks overall are very good, & the Aperol spritz are only $10; you can’t beat that.
(There’ll definitely be a long-ish wait time, but when you look at the volume of people and the breadth of the menu, that can’t be helped & the sandwich I had was better than anything I’ve had at Interval)
Awesome staff. Yosh & Kelly were amazing. Lovely people & care about what they’re putting out.
Fantastic Hours. Finally a coffeehouse open past 5:30!

This is hands down my favorite coffee spot in Milwaukee. It reminds me so much of being in Italy—the drinks and food are incredible, and the atmosphere is cozy, warm, and full of charm. It’s the perfect place to work, catch up with a friend, or just slow down and enjoy the moment. The owners are truly amazing people who make you feel welcome every time. If you’re looking for a little slice of Europe right here in the city, this is it.

If you’re looking for the best cafe in Milwaukee look no further! From the coffee (roasted in house) to the cocktails Vendetta never fails to impress.
