50 Best Cafes near Whitefish Bay

“I had the wonderful opportunity to try Stone Creek Coffee in Whitefish Bay. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the inviting atmosphere and aesthetic of the shop, with its thoughtful layout and local artwork that really enhanced the vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and even offered some great recommendations. My wife and I shared the stuffed bread with chorizo, the Butternut Squash Sage & Bacon sandwich, and the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich with a side of roasted potatoes. Every bite was delicious! This spot is perfect for a cozy and tasty breakfast with friends or out-of-town family. Highly recommend!“

“Everything we had here was delicious! I tried the Avocado Feta Toast with a side of the homemade Greek yogurt with berries. My husband had the corned beef hash. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait long for a table and the food came very quickly. Definitely will be back!“

“The burgers here are outstanding! All of them!“

“Amazing environment, beautiful thoughtfully curated decor, friendly staff, good prices. Decent selection of breakfast items. It smells like coffee right when you walk in, and they do brew it quite strong if you want.

Seems like a great environment to be a regular at.“

“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.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

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

“We enjoyed your Bay View location today for the first time. Weather was perfect to enjoy really good coffee, cinnamon roll/biscuit&jam in your outdoor seating area. Staff is so cordial, food and beverage is incredible, and the customer service goes above and beyond. Happiness all around - smiles galore! 😁 Definitely our new feel good spot.“

“My boyfriend and I absolutely loved Comet Cafe. The service and food were both amazing. We were in Milwaukee for a few days and had gone multiple times. Tried multiple things on the menu and were never disappointed. Highly recommend coming here if you haven't already.“

“Love spell available to Reunite with your ex boyfriend/ husband immediately Love spell to Break up a couple and return your partner Love spell to Fix a broken and unstable marriages Spell to Attract that special new or a specific lover My powerful love spells to Bring Back Lost Lover are effective. Losing someone you love is like breaking your heart in two pieces, especially when you are deeply in love with that person.“

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

“Great service and the staff is always friendly“

“Cute and cozy cafe/diner with adorable charm. I had 6 eggs scrambled and they were excellent. 2 sausage patties and 2 slices of bacon which was also excellent. Coffee is meh but it works in a pinch. Overall I love this place with very friendly and helpful employees.“

“So good deliciousness. My favorite breakfast sandwich hack: order a side of butter grilled pillow toast minus jelly ($4) plus fresh avocado slices ($1.5); order side of Neuske’s smoked bacon ($3.5) plus a side egg perfectly cooked over easy ($2). Smash together. And boom deliciousness. I almost feel like not leaving a great review so this place doesn’t get busier.“

“A wonderful café. The staff and drink was great. The atmosphere was clean, and inviting. I could tell the staff built good rapport with regular customers. To new customers, including myself, they gave a good recommendation and were genuinely interested in getting to know me. If I ever go back to Milwaukee I’ll definitely stop by.“

“Great food & Great Customer Service! 😊“

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

“Greeted with smiles on our Saturday morning walk. Got two Shakeratos, one quad, one double. It was not overbearingly sweet, the espresso was the main part of the drink which we appreciate. Also got a cranberry orange scone which was delicious. The backyard was a very calming spot to enjoy the outdoors and slow down before our day began. Will come back soon!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I took the tour in the early 2010’s shortly after Jim opened this place. It was good then. I just took my friend on the tour this Monday. It was fantastic. A good overview of the history of Pabst and the buildings, and what Jim has done to the place is fantastic. Highly recommend the tour.“

“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!“

“Passed through on a whim while in MKE and I'm so glad we did!! It's a cute space with indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff and delicious food! I can't remember the exact name of what I ordered, but it had "gas station" in the title and it was a sausage breakfast sandwich with apricot jam and oh my lord, I had to ask a staff member if I could take a picture of the jam that they use so I could get some for myself.“

“I come multiple times a week for a reason. The coffee is excellent and the staff are great, but there are two small points that I love about Anodyne: 1) for espresso drinks to drink there you get a real cup not a paper one (good for the environment and for the vibe) and 2) 8 oz latte/cappuccino options (most places only sell 12 or 16 oz as the smallest- most times I just want a little coffee so this is perfect). Also the temperature of the coffee is always just right.
Milwaukee we are really lucky. I judge coffee in every other city against Anodyne.“

“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.“

“Man what can I say spectacular drinks had the iced chai latte strawberry cream cheese crepe excellent service excellent ambiance with a Latinos twist ?

Kid-friendliness: Also have a really affordable kids menu big plus for me not to many cafes have a kids menu???“

“We love it! Kids love the colors and variety of baked goods! Clean and friendly staff!“

“5 ⭐️ Can’t believe we finally got around to trying Miss Molly’s this past Sunday. It’s only a ten minute walk from our house. To say the least, we were very pleased! Tried a number of different breakfast items (including French toast, yogurt/fruit, breakfast sandwiches and muffins). Each one was delicious. Service was friendly and quick for how busy they were. All in all a great experience.“

“My husband and I stopped here on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised. My husband had the pumpkin bread French toast and I had the banana bread flavor. Both were delicious and the prices were not bad. I would recommend this spot again and again.“

“Yum! The crepes were flavorful delicate deliciousness, I had the tiramisu crepe and the coffee cream was well balanced with the chocolate and whipped cream. The seasonal latte was also a delight! Service was good and timely and the atmosphere was cozy, I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“The coffee and chai are excellent. The muffins are phenomenal. All of the staff members I have meet have been pleasant. I’ve been about a dozen times since they’ve opened and have not had a single problem. Really happy to have them in the community!“

“Food is great, 10/10 nothing bad about them. Great food and customer service.“

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

“Its a great place to stay!!“

“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! 💚“

“Butterfly museum 🦋 hands down amazing experience!“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“For all gelato lovers, Shoshovi's Cafe is the place to be.“

“From beginning to end we had a delightful dinner. The service was excellent. Our water was filled often. I had the ribs which were done perfectly and meaty!\nThey came with corn bread(I usually don't like but this was delicious and warm.) Cole slaw and Mac and cheese, which were very good also. My husband had the Thursday night pork dinner special. That came with a large side salad, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and wonderful crusty bread. We both enjoyed ourselves very much! Well done - Fork in the Road!“

“Todo es delicioso Todo es recomendable“

“The baked goods and sandwiches are so tasty. I love the cranberry pumpkin muffin with sportea. This location is where they roast coffee, and it can be very loud. The covered porch is quieter, and the courtyard is a magical space when the weather is nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get up to the front door. It has a bend/corner to not be too steep when I've used it with a stroller. I am not a wheelchair user, so I can only say it works well for a stroller. There is a designated space for the line to the cash register that is like a wide hallway. This wide section continues in a loop past the side door to the porch to the front door. The door on the porch that faces Humboldt leads back to the ramp, but does not have a door opener, so it may be hard to use. The other door leading to the courtyard will take you to stairs and no ramp. The courtyard is accessible from the sidewalk outside, and this is likely the easiest way to enter. In general, there are wide pathways, but in-between tables is less spacious.“

“Yesterday, I had a Reuben sandwich and a Windigo Lotus! The Reuben might have been the best I’ve ever tasted…a must try! I am not a coffee drinker, but I love the flavors of their lotus drinks…interesting combinations that leave you wanting more! Plus, a cute, cozy little home town shop….what more could you ask for!! 10/10 every visit! Thank you!!“

“Great venue and a fabulous band led by Don Linke.“

“No Other Words But Absolutely Amazing..Theres A CBD Store 3 Mins Away From Home, Yet I Still Travel To Both Locations Just Because They Are The Best!From The Food To Gummies,Drinks, Food And Flowers, They’re Great!Customers Service Is Out Of This World Every Visit!Local Customer Since Mayfair’s Grand Opening!#SupportBlackBusinesses“

“The coffee and food is great. The ambience is chill inside, the outdoor area is nice in the summer. My favorite item is the zucchini muffin! I have been coming here for years, love it.“

“I visited Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. Tuesday December 10th with my daughter at the Milwaukee Public Market, and I can confidently say it's a must-visit for coffee lovers! Perfect spot to grab and walk while you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

One of the highlights of my visit was trying their fresh and fun seasonal lattes. Each one is crafted with creativity and flavor, but the standout for me was the baklava latte. It was absolutely amazing! The perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors transported me to another world with each sip. I can’t recommend it enough!

The customer service at Anodyne is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee. They were more than happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions I had. Their enthusiasm truly enhances the experience.

Overall, Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. is a fantastic spot to enjoy unique coffee creations and exceptional service. Whether you're a local or just visiting the Milwaukee Public Market, be sure to stop by and treat yourself to one of their seasonal lattes—you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!“
