“The staff was excellent! I spilled my OJ and all of the staff came to clean it up! They gave me a new one. The food portion was so much! I had to get a container to take home. I never do this. Always was able to eat it all. Great place. Can't wait to go back“

“Every trip to Mad Rooster is excellent. I may get loud for some people, but that is because everyone enjoys themselves there. The food quality and preparation is top notch, and they hosts and servers are always helpful and pleasant. Come early or be prepared to wait, and the parking lot is limited, but there is an adjacent lot very close by. The Mad Style Yogurt is a signature of there’s in my opinion, and I always enjoy the savory selections. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Took myself out to breakfast for my birthday and I had to check out the all vegan cafe! I have been vegan for 7 years now and I have never found anything like this! I had a veggie scrambler and mango tango fusion smoothie and both items were so good! And then they brought me a slice of vegan chocolate cake for my birthday dessert. It was the sweetest and kindest gesture. I can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“I got a naan melt, and now I’m wondering why I waited so long to try Indian food. If you’re new to Indian food and don’t know what to get the workers are happy to help you out. Great food, excellent service, clean restaurant! Highly recommend stopping by!!!“

“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.“

“Great space to work and connect with people. Great vibe. Very helpful and attentive staff. Clean. Definitely will be back!“

“Nomad Coffee Bar is consistently good! Their food takes less than 20 minutes after ordering and it's always delicious! It's almost always my go to Brady Street eats before they close at 7!“

“This location of Anodyne is one of my favorite coffee shops anywhere. They roast at this location. They always have several roasts on drip. They also have outstanding lattes, specialty coffees and pastries. In the evenings, they have occasional live bands, beer, wine and coffee cocktails. There's a large stage, good wifi and plenty of seating.“

“I recently discovered Rochambo, and everytime I've visited, Brian makes me the most delicious drink. He is always so bubbly and cheerful!“

“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!“

“No pictures sadly because me and my coworkers ate the food so quick. We got the mofongo, a few quesitos, jarbritos, empanadas, and rice. It was gone in a flash. Even thought there was a wait, no one seemed to mind. We wil be back.“

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

“This place is amazing! I had an unplanned surgery and when they lifted my diet restrictions, the first thing I saw was the ricotta pancakes with lemon and strawberries. That was the best choice I made. The pancakes were whole grain but they were light and fluffy. I think it was lemon curd spread on the top with sliced strawberries on top of that. The perfect mix of tangy and sweet. Next time I’m trying the egg sandwich and hopefully it won’t be because I’m in a hospital. I suggest everyone go there at least once.“

“Great coffee and great service! I love the atmosphere!“

“Ordered the ox tail, jerked chicken, and island shrimp and all of the meals were on point! Your portions were fair, everything was well seasoned and the staff was super friendly while I was picking my order up. We always jumped from one Jamaican spot to the next when we shopped but I think you earned our loyalty on our first visit.“

“Press served their delicious waffles at our wedding on 9.24! They were a huge hit!! Our guests loved the waffles and their super cute vintage trailer! Emily was great to work with as well! We also love to grab Press at South Shore Farmer’s Market, they make the best Belgian waffles and have great topping options!“

“We have been going once or twice a week. Ever since we found this place. their Waffles, crepes, and fresh fruit juice are absolutely delicious! Also the fresh Hazelnut baklava is so good! Their customer service is amazing. They are always so kind and welcoming. This will be forever one of our favorite spots.Kid-friendliness: It is a very big restaurant and there are a lot of kid friendly options.“

“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!!“

“Benny's is one of the best family restaurants I've been to in a very long time. Our server was fantastic, the food was delicious, and my classic bloody was made from scratch, not a mix! I had an avacado omelet, American fries and pancakes, Happy Birthday to me! Glad I picked here, we'll be back again.“

“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.“

“I went to smallpie, due to the building's design. I had no idea what it was. However when I went in I was greeted by two wonderful people!! After looking at the menu I went with the cheddar and apple sandwich which was so, so good. I got a few things to go. This is a place with stopping in at!!! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. I'll be back!!“

“What a wonderful atmosphere, staff, and food. Definitely come back again.“

“I came at prime brunch time and was welcomed warmly by both the barista behind the counter and also a waitress when I transitioned into the dining area. The person I was with and I had a lot to chat about and our waitress came back like three times before we finally ordered our drinks; she was so kind and didn't pressure us to keep it moving. My Bloody Mary was good: it included a huge pickle and a chaser. I got the spicy chorizo hash and it was huge; the potatoes aren't crispy though--that's the only thing I wished were different. The sourdough toast was perfect and I'd come back again because everything on the menu looked really good!“

“We enjoying going to Dia Café every week, great coffee great staff!“

“Great atmosphere, and a great Bookcrossing shelf of books to exchange or take.“

“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 was working in the area when i was approached by an employee. i was offered a coffee and the generosity could have made me cry. on top of that, the coffee itself was made perfectly. not harsh on the throat , too hot or cold, and the taste was phenomenal. the location is ideal; about a block away in all directions from busy traffic and it was just relaxing no matter where you were. the employees were compassionate about their customers and to me that deserves an award. they even support local artists! how amazing is that!!!“

“Sat outside with a cool beverage. Breeze was blowing & read a book. It was great“

“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.“
