“From the moment you walk through their corner shop door, you feel like you've entered a familiar and comfortable place. The service and atmosphere are just what you want out of a local coffee shop. Andy and Anya were super friendly and conversive. And she makes a fantastic cortado! The Cream City Brick and the nods to the local hometown make you feel like you've entered something truly Milwaukee. The coffee is great; it's now one of my Go-Tos anytime I'm in the area. What a great discovery this morning! Apparently, it only took me 20 years to fnd it! Happy 20th!“
“5 stars all around. Good coffee and snacks for the parents and tons of stuff for our 3yo and 1yo to do. the worst part of the visit was telling the kids we had to leave! this place really took care to make sure that all the bases were covered - diaper changing stations, plenty of toys to go around, diapers/wipes if you ran out. will be going back here for sure.“
“Tucked away behind the big street, but in a busy intersection, this place is really nice.I’ve been hearing so much about this place that I just had to come and see for myself.I love the open, bright, airy atmosphere. It’s big and has lots of tables to accommodate a large crowd, which is nice, since it does look like it gets quite full. We were there on a Saturday morning, around brunch time, and the place was still popping.Being on keto, I just stuck with the coffee and skipped the pastries, though I’ve been hearing good things about them as well. All the coffee comes sweetened unless you ask for no sugar.I got the Marib, which is their medium roast with cardamom. I did enjoy the ethnic experience, though I must say, I’ve never had coffee with cardamom before so it was a bit powerful, though pleasantly so. I would like to try it without the cardamom next time just to taste their straight black coffee. It looked like they just added cardamom powder to the coffee, so maybe I can ask them to give it to me on the side and add it after trying just the black coffee.Also, I was pretty swamped on this first visit, but now that I’ve come home and researched a bit and know what cascara is, I would love to go back and try their cascara coffee - maybe the Sheeba, again with ginger and cinnamon on the side and then added later maybe.I love being able to try new things and finding something I like. The people working here were very nice and excited to share their knowledge with me. Looking forward to future visits!Oh, and my friends had the Mufawaar with all the sugar and cream and cardamom and said it was delicious. I’m sure!“
“The food is supper good and the environment is beautiful. The strawberry cheesecake Gelato tasted more like cheesecake then some cheesecakes I've had. Also we got a fruit drink and it came with a bunch of really fresh looking fruit cut up in it. The person behind the counter was very friendly and helped us pick out what we would like since we had never been there before. While the prices where a little high you definitely get what you pay for.“
“We’ve been following Ryan’s journey since he started in door county and have been OBSESSED with not only the crazy cool and delicious drinks… but for the fun and loving culture he’s built. Everyone you meet in the shops is so friendly and kind. Go if you’re ready to have a game changing drink experience while meeting some amazing humans!“
“Love this place, best var for craft coctails on the west side of milwaukee/suburbs. Been here so many times, food wise they just have a few simple apps like a giant pretzel, or a cheese platter which are all fine, tgey dont have a full menu butnypu can vring food if you want. Drink wise they have a nice selection of craft beers and a changing list of craft cocktails based on the season. There are unique flavors, and something for everyone from sweet to dry and everything between, all well balanced. Its in on old fire station so there isnt much indoor seating but lots outside & a gas fire pit for warmth.Parking: Only street parking available“
“New owners still getting their feet grounded. Sort of an unusual place. Mexican and Thai food. Talked with the owner, a very nice guy. They are still experimenting with the menu choices, based on the customer preferences. We would dine again.“
“I absolutely love this place! My bagel was absolutely perfect and as the breakfast sandwich, just to die for! The service was excellent and super fast. I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop.Parking: I went at 11:30 and had no issues finding a spot.“
“Very nice place. Food was great. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was good. It wasn't busy when we went but even if it was full it feels like the tables are spread out enough to where you don't feel packed in. Food came out quickly. The portion was good too.“
“I’d give 6 stars if I could! What an absolute gem with incredibly warm, welcoming staff and DELICIOUS food! The chilaquiles are not to be missed. The cocktails are well made and the prices are so reasonable. Can’t recommend highly enough!!“
“I’ve been looking for a new place to get protein shakes in Milwaukee and decided to try this place. Katy was a joy the minute I walked in! She talked with me about the menu and was very knowledgeable! She made a personal connection with me and was extremely welcoming. I will definitely be visiting this place more often.“
“The cake was absolutely amazing! The design was everything we wanted. Customer service was very good from meeting with the design team to planning the delivery and the execution of the delivery. Our guests loved the flavors of our cake. Great service! Great company! Thanks Aggies Bakery for playing such a major part of our day.“
“That was the best breakfast sausage sandwich I think I've eaten this year. I'm sad I didn't get to take a picture first, though I'm sure I'll be back here again very soon. They had mayo and hot sauce, but not ketchup. Worth knowing. The mocha coffee was also great. 10/10Parking: Parking was good I came at 11:00 and found a spot relatively easy. You'd think it would be harder but this place is good“
“Super cute place with a warm and welcoming environment. You can tell the owner is a very dedicated and caring soul. The food options are wonderful and all taste amazing and their presentation is beautiful. I have to gatekeep my favorite item because it’s only available on weekends but I think about it all week LOL.The Italian bread is amazingTarts are fabulous as wellCupcakes are to die forAll in all, best little cafe in the area. 10/10“
“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.“
“Super HIP place. Great bagels. Thank you Wisconsin Foodie. Bagels fresh and delicious. On weekends the line might be outdoors, and the line moves well. Had the Latke waffle! Yummy and crunchy. If you don't know what a Latke is, look it up or better yet, surprise yourself.“
“I really enjoy this cafe. Always great selections of coffee and snacks. The cafe can get very busy and occasionally doesn't have enough seats and enough staff to help wipe down tables and take out trash frequently during the rush times.“
“I cannot say enough about this place. They are hands down one of the best coffee and garden shops around. The food is excellent, the coffee is phenomenal, and the service is even better. I've been coming here for many years now and everyone is a pleasure to work with, from the owners to the managers down to the general employees. You can tell the family ties run deep within the company! Sara and Holly who run the coffee shop are always my favorite to run into. They greet you with a smile and sometimes a joke. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great day. The atmosphere here is great for anyone. I'm sure anyone can find something interesting to come here for.Parking: Big lot in front and off to the sideWheelchair accessibility: No steps with automatic doors“
“Tommy, the incredible soul with beautiful black hair, warms my heart with his smile.The variety of specialty delicious lattes & tea & the brioche-yum! The service & smiles & the fact that they serve in actual mugs are why I come to this café vs any other. They care about the environment, so I've gotten a discount for bringing my own cup when I get it to-go (not many other cafés care about Mother Earth). They have food, alcohol & live music. Big bright, open space to relax. Thank you Tommy for being you! And thank you to all others who welcome me with warm smiles & friendly service.“
“Cranky Al’s was our dessert choice for our wedding and WOW, they did not disappoint! We started with a quick meeting with Joey where he asked about our favorite candy, donut flavors and wedding colors. From there he curated the perfect mix and helped us choose from one of their beautiful donut stands. Joey and his team handled drop off and pick up which made the process seamless. Cranky Al’s donuts were the HIT of our wedding and we cannot thank you enough! Kaylee & Brian“
“The smash burgers are amazing. The paninis are huge and delicious. The coffee is Milwaukee's own Pilcrow!!!!The bar is delicious. The lower level vault is a speak easy that is so fun. I enjoy karaoke Tuesdays but it seems like lots going on all the time.“
“My dog and I love going to Nomad coffee bar. He loves his pup cups. I cannot give 5 stars only because the one item I order is always “out”. I try to call ahead every time but no one answers the phone. Not ever. I’ve called probably 10 times in the past 2 months. I dislike that my dog and I have to walk all the way there just for them to tell me I can’t order the only thing I want. My dog doesn’t care cuz he still gets a pup cup because he will scream like an infant if he doesn’t get one. His eyes light up anytime we’re near nomad. Service is great regardless.“
“Got the specialty flight and in my opinion the coffee flavor was not strong enough. Could be personal preference but the coffees were like sweet water. I’ll go one more time to get a regular latte to see if it was just the specialty drinks that lacked coffee strength. Also, maybe the way they are is fine for others so overall worth a try.“
“Root Beer Chai! This is one of the specials and it was so good. I forgot to take a photo until I was home and it was gone. Subtle, balanced flavors. I added soy milk and I recommend iced. Some merch available and cute seating nearby. Highly recommend. Thank you!“
“I’ve frequented this establishment the since the early 2000’s. They have consistently had a great atmosphere and staff. I saw another review that said they have the best chai tea latte and they are not wrong. Interesting adult menu, I can’t wait to come back and try.“
“I was just here with a couple for their engagement! They are big fans of Likewise and wanted to included a coffee stop in their engagement photos. It was so cute, the staff were so nice, the photos are so good, and absolutely some of the best coffee I have ever had!“
“The brown butter dark chocolate mocha I recently had was easily the best espresso drink I have ever tasted. Super balanced between the espresso and flavoring and didn't have that grainy-textutre iced mochas sometimes have. I visit this area every few years and Stone Creek Coffee has been a must-go every time!“
“Very nice set up and atmosphere. The baristas are always friendly. For some reason the crowd always seems off putting whenever I enter though, almost judgey. I haven't been there in a while so maybe that has changed. The chai tea latte is amazing there!“
“BEST cortado i’ve ever had—so smooth, and the homemade whipped cream on top was the perfect addition. the barista even explained that he added coffee bean shavings on top, which was a sweet touch ?we stopped in after going to retique around the corner, making for a lovely afternoon “
“The best damn diner in Milwaukee. The family that owns Landmark is so kind and attentive. Food comes out quickly, hot and delicious. We’ve been regulars here for the last 10 years and have never found another diner that can compare!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“First time visit & hadn't done hookah in YEARS, but this was definitely a nice reintroduction to it. Loved to local artwork on display, which is buyable if you're so inclined to do so (which I'm already trying to save up for 1 piece, lol). Would definitely recommend & plan on going back “
“We walked in after a meal to play some pinball and had such a wonderful time. The Honeybear dinky donuts are so tasty and also love the classic cinnamon sugar donuts too. The small size is a perfect bite of dessert and allows you to try multiple flavors. Also absolutely love the 80s/90s pinball and arcade machines. Fun atmosphere and super friendly hosts! Thank you and we'll be back soon“
“Let me start off by saying that my opinion on the taste of my coffee is most likely not the average opinion. I have more of a sweet tooth, so the sweeter the syrup flavor, the happier I am. The Coffee quality is better than average. The customer service was very nice and felt welcoming. The atmosphere was really nice for anyone to sit in and enjoy some time there. Ordered the Madagascar vanilla hot latte, but there is not enough flavor for myself. Ordered a hot chocolate and simply not enough flavor than average coffee shop so it was quite disappointing. Would still recommend someone to try it out.“
“An amazing asset to our neighborhood and community. Love having a coffee shop back in Riverwest on Center Street and the owner does amazing community work/collaborations. More positive energy like this in Milwaukee please!! Plus the baked goods are <chef’s kiss>!“

“Very cozy little coffee bar joint.The servers and baristas were nice and friendly chatting with customers over the drink bar. As well the coffee was a good sweet kick up in the morningWould recommend over like a Starbucks if your in the area“
“I got the veggie scrambler and my brunch mate got the breakfast sandwich on the croissant. Both were delicious, good quality food and good portion size, without breaking the bank! Very satisfied. Locally owned (the person working today is the owner, she's very kind) and good tunes playing! Highly recommended.“
“This place is beautiful and comfortable! Over the past year, I confess I often wondered if this spot work ever actually open. It was worth the wait. Staff are friendly and efficient, the food looks good, and the coffee is great. The regulars I saw there this morning felt like a Seinfeld episode or Cheers. I'll be back.“
“Anodyne consistently delivers a great experience at all of their coffee shops that I have visited in Milwaukee and this one is no exception. This shop would be a good place to set up a laptop and get some work done, with plentiful seating and tables. Easily accessible by MCTS Route 15.“
“If you haven’t tried out Avenue Coffeehouse yet, you are missing out! They have a wide variety of hot and cold drinks, delightful drink specials, delicious toasts (at the end of the week), bagels, and more. The whole staff is wonderful and they always brighten my day when I stop in. I highly recommend stopping by for a beverage, sweet treat, or both!“
“Every time I visit here the coffee is consistently delicious and well made and the baristas are above and beyond friendly. They are patient and kind in helping you decide what to order, and keeping your tab open in case you want to order again. They collect your dishes and make your visit very enjoyable. The food is always delicious as well. Definitely recommend visiting!!“
“Very friendly staff, if you need something, ask them; if they make a mistake, tell them and they are so apologetic and will try their best to make it right. The food is also very good for the price. I was told that they are looking to expand their menu selections as well. They have paintings on the wall that has a price tag on, so they probably support the local artists as well. Not a bad place to have breakfast.“
“While it may not serve me to make this place even more popular, I am posting this review to perhaps give more people the opportunity to enjoy an Italian coffee bar experience in Wauwatosa. There is also a Walker’s Point location. Divertirsi!“
“I stumbled upon this gem while looking for a venue for my work's holiday party, and I am so glad I did! The hospitality, the service, the scones, muffins, did I say service?!... was out of this world! Thanks Nick (owner) and Adam- y'all really treated us well. Our team members are still raving about the time they had at Urbal Tea :). Such a lovely and cozy space. And I want to also thank Emily who assisted me in the planning process to make sure I had everything I needed before the event. Thank you, from a happy and satisfied customer.“

“I was recommended to come here for the food and wow I was not disappointed! I was also impressed with how much seating this café has to offer- great spot for studying/working. I tried the avocado breakfast sandwich, the sausage breakfast sandwich, and the almond waffle. It is all amazing! If you like almond flavor, PLEASE try the waffle... I'm still thinking about how tasty it was!“
“It's very small, but the service and food is great! I put $10-$20 but I really don't remember how much I spent. I think it was right around 9 or 10 dollars. The 5th question I really don't remember. I had a vegetarian bagel sandwich, though.Vegetarian options: I just know what I got was a hummus cucumber bagel. The bagel was toasted and it had lettuce as well.“

“I had a berry smoothie with protein in it, it unfortunately wasn’t the best especially for it being $8. Your best bet is to stick with the coffee. Other than that, it has a great location and a lot of seating to offer both inside and outside. Great place to study, bring your dogs, or meet up with a friend.Parking: Parking lot is usually really full.“
“Ordered several trays (tea cookie tray, bar tray, hand pie tray) at the last minute for a co-worker/friends baby shower. Everything was amazing, packaged beautifully, and most importantly it all tasted fantastic. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!“
“Heard about Dia Cafe on Social Media. Check the menu out and decided to give it a go. Took family members with. Not disappointed at all. Lattes and Horchata made perfect. Rice Bowls tasted delicious. Definite repeat and highly recommend. Everyone was very nice. Very clean which is a big plus in my book. Going to be one of my new favorite spots to go to now.“
“Always good. Really, excellent coffee, with your standard offerings of regular lattes, cappuccinos, black coffee and teas......with a great immersion to Mexican coffee flavor, taking you to the central plains of central México or the mountains of Chiapas and Oaxaca. The captivating combination of horchata and cinnamon flavos will take you to an ancient coffee paradise.“
