Coffee Shops near West Milwaukee

“The food is usually made well, but every single time I go through the drive through, it doesn't matter who is taking orders, they can't ever get it right. They can't seem to fathom that someone would want 2 meals, instead of changing the first order. They can't seem to fathom that someone would want 1 meal deal, and 1 sandwich. No matter how it's worded, I constantly have to fix the order at the window. And I come here weekly, if not more. They just need to pay a little more attention to what's being said, instead of just rushing through not thinking, so they can get on with whatever conversation or things they were doing before they had to take an order. But the food is great.“

“Amazing“

“I don't like McDonald's..... Its not healthy ect ect....
BUT i was out tcb, in a jam and needed a lil sustenance to carry me until better offerings were available. The staff was so nice, from the cashier, to the window clerk- even my items were positioned neatly in the bag and not thrown about like
I'm used to. Food was temperature right and as tasty as it could be for what it's derived from (lbvs)
Hmmmm....
We're so quick to review the bad, gotta give it up for the good too.
Giving them all an "A"!!!“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“Cozy and friendly little coffee shop. Stopped by for the first time today( and saw Santa too!) and we will def be back! Amazing Eggnog lattes 🎄❤️“

“A whole loaf! lol the food was phenomenal, and was very excited to see lumpia on the menu. 10/10 will be back.“

“I now come here almost daily. They have the best espresso in Milwaukee and I drink their Americano black. I changed it up today and got a pumpkin spice latte, and it came out SO PRETTY!

Lake Effect is separate from the church but they do partner with others in the community including a Macha pop up, and they even allowed me to do a little pop up to celebrate AAC awareness month!

I can't forget to mention their awesome bakery, with some muffins and cookies baked in house and their tasty treats from City Market and Carries Crispies!“

“I just enjoyed THE BEST grilled cheese of my life! 😍 Thank you for an amazing place to slow down for an hour. ❤️“

“You can tell that as much thought and care went into crafting the ambiance and space as there was in crafting the coffee. I've never been in a coffee shop as warm, inviting and cozy as this. Immediately upon entering there is a wheelchair lift to make the space accessible for everyone. The scent from the wood burning fire and various coffees is absolutely heavenly. This is someplace you'd like to settle into for the morning. If you're just passing through and loved their coffee, you can get it shipped to your house from their website at a very reasonable price.“

“Everything about the experience was delightful. The coffee and matcha latte was good, the pastries were great, and the soup was delicious!“

“Great tasting Coffee Flight variety! Delicious & Fresh oatmeal, croissants & muffins.“

“Spending time at Discourse and trying their menu items puts me in my happy place!!! I love everything on their menu. So unique and takes on an adventure that leaves me smiling and in awe of the flavors and creativity! Thank you for always making my day!!!!“

“I come here all the time and both the drinks and the desserts are absolutely delectable fr. The price is also decent and it's a good place to study for students because it's open and has a student discount. Also the service is great“

“Stopped in Sunday morning to hang out and journal around 10 am and by the time I left at noon this place was thriving with groups and like minded solos working in a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the hot latte with white chocolate and it was fantastic, served with nothing but smiles. I’m not someone who eats things that are on the sweet side but decided to indulge in the mini pancakes (crazy mix) and they were soooo good. I look forward to coming back. I also learned they are open late and as someone who doesn’t drink much I look forward to testing out the atmosphere in the evening sometime.“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“Amazing spot for a chill laid back atmosphere with great music, coffee, and people!“

“Best coffee place ever! #7BrewHinesville“

“Very good I had the iced Mango Matcha super cute atmosphere as well“

“Best coffee shop I've tried in Milwaukee, hands down. Good quality, good pricing, and great super-quick service. I've gotten in and out in less than a minute which is incredible. Dig it, will continue to be a return customer!“

“Great drinks, great pastries, great service. Every. SingIe. Time. I sure do miss those weekend chorizo hand pies though!“

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

“shout out to mr walker..vliet location...for giving me water on those hot days delivering packages. thanks a bunch your fedex delivery lady“

“There is everything to love about this place, their drinks are always delicious and they tought me that scones can be good!! [Even inspired me to make some of my own]
My only qualm for lack of a better word is that I wish they had a punch card or something! It would be nice to earn a free coffee or pastry as a treat for loyalty to the shop :]“

“Stopped in for a snack and coffee. The spot is a bit on the right side and people don't seem to be aware of anyone other than themselves. Fun on a knee scooter, I wouldn't recommend it. The coffees and bakery were all pretty good and I wouldn't have any co.plaints about that for sure. The staff was decent and seemed to be working at getting the orders out. It did seem that prices were high for what we got. $27 for a couple of bakery items and coffees.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“I’ve worked multiple weddings at Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this stunning historic venue with its original stained glass windows, ornate woodwork, cream city brick, and timeless charm that makes every bridal look absolutely shine. Highly recommend!“

“Run, don't walk! Go visit Stone Creek Coffee! Go for the coffee and atmosphere, stay for the FOOD MENU. I'm from out of town and had no particular expectations for this place... When I went up to order, my eyes wandered to the pastry case, then to the egg sandwich board, then to the yogurt bowls - and it just kept getting hotter along the way!! The offerings were creative, savory, sweet, healthy and fulfilling.... No regular breakfast sammie here: how about toasted bread with egg, butternut squash, brown sage butter sauce, and bacon crumbles?! mmm“

“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!“

“Awesome drinks and customer service 100% recommended“

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

“Amazing healthy smoothies and acai bowls... really nice stores! Great products for sale too! Love the seasonal smoothies!!“

“My husband and I ordered our wedding cakes from Aggie’s last September and we couldn’t have been happier! Not only was our main cake simple and elegant but both cakes were delicious and hug hit with our guests! Thank you for helping to make our day special!“

“Bob makes the absolute BEST coffee in the world. Sherman Perk is a Wisconsin landmark. It’s up there with Cousin’s Subs, Spotted Cow, crème puffs, cringles & beer brats. Protect them at all costs.“

“The best caramel macchiato I’ve ever had! The employee was helpful and patient, and helped me pick out the perfect blend of beans! Definitely will be a regular stop when I’m in the area. I appreciated the friendly service. Clean and great location too!“

“Best customer service ! Any breakfast sandwich , lunch sandwich or soup we have had have been so delicious 😋 Thank you Java Train !“

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

“One of the best bars in the area. All the drinks are great, you can’t go wrong. Just order what you like and they’ll make one of the best you’ve had. They change their menu about quarterly and have really unique drinks. Great old fashioneds! They also frequently have food, but check their Facebook page to see what’s happening.“

“Nice place for a read and nice cup of coffee“

“I stopped in after running the Veteran’s Day 5K downtown, expecting to grab a quick coffee and head home — but this Stone Creek location completely surprised me in the best way.

I used to live on the East Side and thought I already knew Stone Creek well… but this Whitefish Bay café is on another level. The energy, the layout, the bakery selection, the buzz of people laughing and chatting — it felt like walking into a celebration of community.

My coffee was perfection. My food was unique and delicious. And the people-watching? Soul-filling. Every table had a story, and it was such a joy to slow down and take it all in.

Thank you, Stone Creek Coffee. The pleasure was all mine. ☕️💛“

“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!“

“The service here is amazing. The people here, especially Rose, are nice and caring. I like that I can get a cold or hot beverage. The food is great, too. And it's just a great place to sit for awhile. Very welcoming place.“

“best diner in town. consistent and quality 10/10“

“Awesome food and very good service. Will recommend to my friends and family!“

“I have only visited the Sun Prairie location since October 2023. My go-to is the breakfast sandwich and my son, who is very particular about his French Toast, says it's his absolute favorite. I'm not a coffee drinker but their Chai is my favorite when I'm out and about. Don't forget to ask for the cheesy potatoes!“

“Helpful staff. Delicious flavored lattes. Good pastry and outrageous homemade yogurt.“
