12 Best Coffee Shops in Wauwatosa

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“I have been to several other Stone Creek Coffee locations, but this was my first time at this one. It's on a busy street near the center of the Wauwatosa Village. It's a corner lot with an ample-sized parking lot. It has an urban chic design on the outside, with a patio out front. You can enter through the front by the patio or the side parking lot.

Came here Monday morning. There were already people relaxing at small tables or working on laptops. There are large windows that help bring in lots of natural light. Several different areas to sit at, depending on your need for quiet or a larger table. The order counter is up front, with lots of space for menus, bakery cases, and merchandise. The entire space has the typical upscale yet relaxed feel that you find at their other locations. Everything was neat, well organized, and clean.

Got a friendly greeting from the staff member. When I ordered my usual London Fog Tea Latte, I was immediately asked if I was looking for a Lavender London Fog, which I was. Added my usual instructions for a little vanilla, extra foam, and in a ceramic mug. They then even asked what shape mug I was looking for. That is the first time that I was offered a choice. Just another little tweak to make the experience better. I picked the latte cup (as opposed to the coffee one). (Thanks, Austin!) They usually carry a nice selection of bakery, and on this day they had the addition of a Sweet Potato Pecan Scone. So of course I had to try that.

They took time to properly steep the tea and did a nice job with the foam. The flavor and the texture were delicious. It was creamy all the way to the last sip. The temperature could have been a bit hotter. (It measured 123F, and my preference is 135–145F.) The scone was good but not great. The flavors were excellent. However, it was much denser than I prefer, and the maple glaze was actually brittle. Glad I tried it but wouldn’t order it in the future.

Another very good Stone Creek experience. With a couple of tweaks, it would have been perfect. Would definitely stop again.“

“Amazing coffee, and amazing employees! Only coffee I drink! All of our customers now get recommended to check out the Grafton location! They all have had nothing but positive things to say and are grateful for the recommendations!“

“Exceptional service and product! I accidentally ordered online to the wrong location and gave them a call at 6am (!), and let them know that I will still be picking up but not until 6:30. They kindly offered to have it ready at 6:30 instead and on my cup I can see they wrote “don’t start until 6:25”. This is the kind of care and service you don’t get at a Starbucks, and the coffee is amazing too! Only area to improve would be to sell the matcha in stores :)“

“We used cranky Al’s for our wedding and we got SO many compliments! They were delicious even later into the evening, the tasting was amazing, communication was great, and they were very transparent about pricing which seems to be difficult to find in the wedding industry. This is the go-to place if you want donuts for your Milwaukee area wedding!!“

“I love their food and their coffee“

“Honestly turmeric latte is my fav ! But they make the best salad in the world I’m like addicted to it !“

“Love this place perfect for having a me day“

“customer service was great 👍“

“Posting because nobody seems to know about this place. It is “hidden” right in the Nordstrom at Mayfair mall. Cool coffee drinks and chef-made bakery and grab-and-go food of surprising quality. You can park in the lot behind the mall and walk right in. ?“

“just wanted to give a shout out to this location. I made the mistake of ordering ahead at the wrong location and the barista willingly made me my drink and despite my error. On top of that, she wrote a nice message on my cup. She didnt know it, but I was having a bad morning so she made my day. I'm sorry I didnt get your name but thank your for being so kind.“

“Stopped in to pick up some pastries for a client. Katie was a great help, everything looked so good! I love that you have dog treats too!“
