39 Best Cafes near Oak Creek

“My friend, Margaret, introduced me to Hillside. Great place to meet and catch up with friends and family. We went for the delicious, specialty coffee, but were more than tempted to see the yummy pastries available. They also have homemade breakfast sandwiches for sale. Staff has always been more than accommodating whether they're at the counter or as Barista. Also, look forward to their Cinnamon Rolls available only on Sundays. Rose, the owner, and former baker, has hit a home run with this place. She's sweet as a peach and her shop is very warm and welcoming. You'll find beautiful, hand crafted and delicate pastries to go with your fabulous coffee. Love this place and hope it's part of Oak Creek for a long time to come.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“I was taken there at the suggestion of my client and had a terrific lunch. My omelet was delicious and filled with veggies, my American fries were crispy but not burnt, and my toast was just tasty. I definitely will be returning. Our service was excellent, friendly and attentive. The entire restaurant was very clean. I was so thrilled to be supporting a locally owned business. I would recommend Market Place Cafe to anyone who enjoys breakfast anytime and flavor filled, diner food.“

“We ordered ribs and they were fall off the bone tender and coated in a sweet BBQ sauce. The sides of grilled green beans and baked potato really made it come together. Great food good prices and a big menu to explore more. So many diners now close at 3:00 thanks for staying open for dinner.“

“There was a discrepancy with one of my orders a few days ago I came in to retrieve my item that was initially not placed in my order bag. Today Elsa was phenomenal reconciling that discrepancy. I have never in my 47 years. I have never had customer service at that caliber. Thank you, Elsa for maintaining and keeping Panera bread Oak Creek running.“

“We’ve gone twice in the last few days so hopefully I recount all the items we’ve tried so far and name them correctly lol. Biscuits and gravy! This is the best I’ve ever had. The biscuit was thick and hearty but not dry, and the gravy was absolutely the best I’ve tasted. Homemade comfort at its finest—rich and savory with a fantastic flavor. I look forward to the next time, and I just finished eating it. The almond matcha cookie—I’m not normally a matcha fan, but this cookie was intriguing. It started with a thin, crispy almost sugar cookie flavor outer layer at first, then the almond flavor shines through. Not overly sweet just a good thick, soft cookie. The butterscotch blondie— you can really taste the butter. It was the first sweet I tried here, and it immediately got me hooked. The Oreo blondie—my kid devoured it before I could even take a bite. The egg sandwich on sourdough with sausage was good. I added the homemade chili oil which I got on the side, as I’m sometimes a wimp with spice, but this chili oil is so flavorful I’d put it on everything. So if I order a cookie with a side of chili oil you just nevermind- I might need some of this to keep on hand. It adds a nice bite without overpowering the other flavors—just the right amount of heat. The fluffernutter cookie—what?!! yes, definitely try it! Obv Carrot cake bites -carrot cake yes frosting yes - I need more. Everything we’ve tasted so far has been excellent. You can tell it’s homemade, the flavors come through clearly, and it’s just comforting, delicious food. Can I add that the people working there have gone above and beyond and truly enjoy what they do and this place! They are the best food consultants :) they spent so much time with us explaining the items and it got me to try some things I might not have otherwise. Oh and the building itself - the space has a great warm friendly vibe.“

“I recommend this spot for people who are new to milwaukee they have plenty of drinks and desserts you can choose from. They also treat you with the most respect and they are so nice to you. There boba is delicious and might i say this is my favorite spot ever!!“

I was skeptical because we came close to closing time but the food came out fast looking picture perfect and tasted out of this world!! Chad made us welcome didn’t rush us at all and was on top of it!! Definitely a MUST TRY SPOT!! We will be back for sure!!“

“Great place to have breakfast/lunch I had Monte Cristo sandwich great flavor not to mention morning buns dessert“

“A long-time Cudahy gem. Just ate there 2 days ago. Eggs made perfectly, Hashbrowns crispy and sizzlin`, toast drippin` in butter. Huge plate! Ate here in morning, didn`t need anything else the rest of the day.“

“I tried out this spot over the weekend, and had a great experience. The labneh pita sandwich was so good, I almost ordered a second one to go! I've never had a wrap with fresh crispy pita chips inside, and paired with the crisp veg and creamy labneh, it was super delicious. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. Plus, it's right across the street from the basilica and a park!“

“We love this place. Our dog visited for the first time and sat outside with us. The sausage and hash brown hand pie was warmed up perfectly, crispy and buttery! Not microwaved and soft. Strawberry shortcake pie tastes like summer and the peach pie is blue ribbon worthy. We all enjoyed a coffee and treat whole enjoying the cafe outdoor seating.“

“For our daughter’s grad brunch we decided to have it catered instead of cooking ourselves & Green Baked Goods did not disappoint! Ordering was easy, communication was open & our order was beyond perfect. We ordered the biggest breakfast charcuterie board which was a huge hit with all the varieties of baked goods, & fun layout. The variety of mini quiches were delicious & the perfect portion sizes for a buffet style brunch. Also easy to serve. Cheesy potatoes & the French toast bake were so good I wish I ordered more for leftovers. Not a crumb was left behind. We will absolutely be going to & catering with Green Baked Goods again. 10/10 recommend this family owned business. Thank you GBG’s for helping us celebrate our daughter’s graduation in grand style! 💚“

“What an awesome space! I took my toddler after school for a treat and we really enjoyed it. The service was great and we had delicious tea and hot chocolate and even a croissant. The place was super clean and beautifully decorated for dia de muertos. There was also by chance a poetry workshop! We’ll definitely be back and have been telling all our friends about it too! Keep up the great work!“

“We had a large group gathering (about 20 people) at Dia Cafe for a breakfast and it was amazing! In advance, the staff we coordinated with responded quickly to calls and emails, and they were very friendly and accommodating. On the day of, they had spaces reserved for us and the drinks and food were out in a very timely manner, especially for how large our group was. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere itself is also so wonderful, the kids in our group stayed occupied with the toys and games they have available, which was so great. Everyone had a lovely time, and many people commented on how generous the portion sizes were and how they were excited to have leftovers to bring home. Also, we had someone who is vegan, and Dia was very accommodating for his dietary needs.“

“We had a bridal shower there last weekend and it was wonderful. I worked with Joel and Mateo and they helped make sure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them as an option for an event center for small gatherings. Thank you!“

“they have the best crema and chamomango out of anywhere I've tried. I always have to get something from here everytime I go to southridge“

“Came here to try something new, and I think we found a new favorite spot! We got a black coffee and horchata iced coffee. The drinks were both delicious and adorable! The iced coffee came in a honey pot type of jar with pink cold foam, and the coasters are custom too! We really enjoyed the atmosphere, from the pallet ceiling, LED light sign/selfie wall, exposed cream city brick, and the wholesome telenovela playing on the TV, this place felt very comfortable and homey. The owner was also very friendly in serving us. 10/10! Definitely will be back! We hope to try the food the next time. There are also plenty of power outlets if you hope to work or study.“

“Had such a delicious chai latte there today and a really scrumptious dill havarti and turkey sandwich (thanks, Mary!) I need to make a point to get here more often. Plus, today, some artists were selling their wares, so it was fun to see what was there! I had limited time so I hope this ad hoc makers market happens again when I can spend more time taking a look at everything. Also, the ambience at Hi-Fi never disappoints! I have been going to the cafe since it opened in the '90s; to me it is a staple of what an artsy and music focused coffee shop should embody-- true cultural gathering place to foster creativity and community.“

“My friend and I ordered the dragon and karma smoothie bowl. Both were so good and fresh! We also had their coffee and the avocado toast. The toast was so fresh and filling. The coffee tasted great. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Really an amazing place, so impressed. Great bagels, cake, donuts, sandwiches, coffee, the setting is so cool. Hard not to enjoy yourself. The nicest staff. Very reasonable prices on the food, and beverages and antiques.“

“Anodyne ended up being the perfect wedding venue for us. The rustic meets modern downtown coffee shop vibes were just what we were looking for. Let me tell you, this place is nice during the day, but at night this place comes alive with the string lights, moody mirrors, and classic radio wall. My husband and I took moments throughout the night to just around and admire the dreaminess of the venue. We received so many compliments about the bartenders and the venue coordinator Erica. The bartenders were super friendly and fast, and one of them even told us at the end of the night how much fun they had too! Erica was AMAZING to work with throughout the year and a half of planning. From the very first email to the last goodbye at the end of the wedding, she was the reason that everything ran so smoothly. We had multiple meetings with her leading up to the wedding, and she was helpful and accommodating every time. She told us that her goal was for us to enjoy our day and not sweat the small things, and that's exactly what she did! We held the ceremony and the reception there, and the transition after the ceremony was seamless and took less than ten minutes. Erica and her staff also set up all of our decor. We left the decor with her the day before the wedding, and when we walked up the stairs into Anodyne everything was set up the way we imagined it. No, better than we imagined! They went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend Anodyne if you're getting married in Milwaukee!“

“Fish was very Good! Just a nice place for food and close to the Park for US.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“Recently, I stopped in to Casera MKE and got myself some food.

I ordered myself two cookies: A chocolate chip (first picture), and the Honey Creek cookie (second picture). Both were good! Especially that honey creek cookie — nice, buttery flavor.

The drink was their “Manila Fog!” Which is a London Fog but spiced with ube and sprinkled with coriander. I don’t mind the occasional tea, and this one was good and you guys know I’m all about ube and Filipino ingredients!

Had a great time at Casera! The vibe is really cool, the place is very big and spacious as well. Really bright and welcoming, too!“

“Delicious, healthy food! I really enjoyed the coconut tofu bowl and naan.“

“Stopped by on our way out of town. Bright cute coffee shop with multiple tables and outlets if you need them. A+ customer service, I ended up getting a speciality drink and honestly want the biggest fan based on personal taste. The staff were super nice about it and when I asked graciously made me a latte instead.“

“Delicious food,great service and one of the cleanest place!“

“Recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and picked up some items from MOR Bakery (everything they make is gluten free!!). I had a cream puff right away and it was absolutely delicious! I honestly wouldn't have event thought it was GF. I can't wait to try the other goodies I brought home with me.“

“If you want excellent locally roasted coffee in Milwaukee, Anodyne is the place to go, with daily rotation of in house roasted brewed coffee that never misses the mark, and expertly crafted seasonal and signature drinks they're sure to have something that satisfy your next caffeine fix. Don't forget to try their baked goods and breakfast sandwiches made fresh every day too.“

“The best Puerto Rican food spot in the city! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Food and Services was amazing“

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

“Excellent atmosphere and best cafe in the area“

“Wednesday thru Saturday they offer the best rotisserie chickens in Milwaukee. For only $10 you get a juicy chicken and a side order such as fries, rice, or plantains. The food is made fresh as the orders are placed. The place is clean, everybody is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and my food was made quickly. I can't complain, except for the fact that they aren't open on Sundays. However, Monday thru Saturday, they are open from 8:30am to 5pm, and they deliver thru Door dash and Uber Eats. I definitely recommend!“
