“Great products goin back today“

“We’ve gone twice in the last few days so hopefully I recount all the items we’ve tried so far and name them correctly lol. Biscuits and gravy! This is the best I’ve ever had. The biscuit was thick and hearty but not dry, and the gravy was absolutely the best I’ve tasted. Homemade comfort at its finest—rich and savory with a fantastic flavor. I look forward to the next time, and I just finished eating it. The almond matcha cookie—I’m not normally a matcha fan, but this cookie was intriguing. It started with a thin, crispy almost sugar cookie flavor outer layer at first, then the almond flavor shines through. Not overly sweet just a good thick, soft cookie. The butterscotch blondie— you can really taste the butter. It was the first sweet I tried here, and it immediately got me hooked. The Oreo blondie—my kid devoured it before I could even take a bite. The egg sandwich on sourdough with sausage was good. I added the homemade chili oil which I got on the side, as I’m sometimes a wimp with spice, but this chili oil is so flavorful I’d put it on everything. So if I order a cookie with a side of chili oil you just nevermind- I might need some of this to keep on hand. It adds a nice bite without overpowering the other flavors—just the right amount of heat. The fluffernutter cookie—what?!! yes, definitely try it! Obv Carrot cake bites -carrot cake yes frosting yes - I need more. Everything we’ve tasted so far has been excellent. You can tell it’s homemade, the flavors come through clearly, and it’s just comforting, delicious food. Can I add that the people working there have gone above and beyond and truly enjoy what they do and this place! They are the best food consultants :) they spent so much time with us explaining the items and it got me to try some things I might not have otherwise. Oh and the building itself - the space has a great warm friendly vibe.“

“Got their cheesecake jars to celebrate a birthday and OH MY.. they are so incredibly good. We will be back to try more of their offerings for sure.“

“Thank you so much today. My husband was involved in a road rage incident today. He stopped in front of your place to speak with police. One of your employees came out and offered refreshment and anything they could do. My husband said he is just so happy he didn’t get shot. Your employee offered him and hug and he accepted. Thank you, this is what we need in this world. Please keep doing what you’re doing!“

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

“I recommend this spot for people who are new to milwaukee they have plenty of drinks and desserts you can choose from. They also treat you with the most respect and they are so nice to you. There boba is delicious and might i say this is my favorite spot ever!!“

“The cutest cafe I’ve been to in Milwaukee. Truly an atmosphere of creativity, health and art. The layout was open and fresh with a hint of quirk and a boatload of authenticity. Music was great, chill. Cutest linen napkins. The perfect working environment. Beverages and food available too! ✨The Ramp Pesto Galette was like a fluffy, savory, Italian cloud on my tongue. Warm, bold, comforting, flavorful, juicy. ✨The Heartbeet Brew was a mood booster for sure! Complex: sweet yet bitter, cold yet warming. Uplifting with that hint of caffeine! I love this place!! Excited to knock out more of my To Do List here ♥️“

“iconic business focused solely on the betterment of community and the people in it. every city should have places like this.“

“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.“

“amazing vegan options! had the cauliflower buffalo dip, the fish fry, and buffalo wings. all of it was fantastic, but the fish fry was definitely the star. best tofu i’ve ever had in my life because it didn’t taste like tofu lol it tasted like the beer batter breading and very flavorful tarter sauce! also very nice staff :)“

“Style Pop Cafe is the perfect name for this cafe. The decor is popping. The staff is so friendly and polite. My Caramel Latte and Blueberry Muffin were delicious!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“Sunday morning, opening and the choice of pastries is weak to start with. Why open with food that seems that it's from the day before.

Coffee was good, and single employee handled the customers as good as they could.

For those of us who enjoyed the charming back patio, this place just lost all the charm. Barely any greenery left, and in a year or so it will be a concrete jungle.“

“Atmosphere/Productivity: This coffee shop has fabulous windows that lets in lots of sunlight when the weather is nice. There’s lots of seating including at the counter where you order. I did not work in this coffee shop but I noticed pretty much everyone else was working so seems like a very productive environment. It was definitely a great atmosphere to read a book!

The Coffee: I was very intrigued with the seasonal lattes on their menu and struggled to pick between 3 - the Cherry Cola, Pineapple Carmel, and Root Beer. I ordered a 12 oz. Root Beer latte but would love to come back and try the other two. It was a great latte - 8.5/10. The Root Beer was more subtle than I thought it would be but I could definitely taste it. The espresso was more profound and lingers on your palette for a while.

The Service: I was greeted by Dalia (hopefully I spelled her name correctly!) when I entered and she let me know she’d be right with me to take my order. As mentioned, I was undecided between 3 lattes and Dalia walked me through the flavor profile of each one until I landed on the Root Beer.

Pricing: Total price with tip was about $9.60.

Bathrooms: There are two individual use bathrooms

Overall great coffee shop- I gave five stars solely due to the boldness of their creativity with their seasonal lattes. I love forward thinking cafes- they provide you with an unforgettable experience!“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“Kinship has a model that works and it begins with an intergenerational group of volunteers. There is a face that looks like you for everyone making it approachable and representative of who lives in the community and they food insecurity and the desire to gather is an essential component of a neighborhood and the multiple communities therein. I have volunteered on Friday mornings multiple times and even arranged for a client to enhance social skills through teamwork through the volunteer model at the food center. What’s best is that you are never judged if you are a volunteer and a shopper. Kinship is a living organism!“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in the city, I mean what they sell is great, especially my normal cortado and danish, but the people really make a difference, it's hard to combine an attitude of working hard AND being extremely friendly, but they pull it off in one the best service atmospheres of any business in the area. Oh and the patio is great for most of the day with sun and shade which is pretty unique.“

“Excellent recent experience. We visited on a Thursday afternoon. That made our tour group very small, just two adults. Very welcoming greetings with the staff. The best part is the presentation of the tour. If you enjoy great presentations of history, neat tidbits you might not get from videos or books, this is definitely for you. Looking forward to return visits with friends and family. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Holy cow there savory pies are amazing. We stopped after looking for pastys all over Milwaukee. I had the beef stew and my daughter had a chicken and herb. We both loved them and have talked about them since getting home to Michigan. My husband stopped on his way home from work and brought me the sausage and chicken and herb! Outstanding. Can't wait for my hubby to bring more home.“

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

“Got the haven sandwich and lox bagel which were both yummy. The matcha was decent too. Came here on a Sunday morning/early noon and a DJ came to play some vinyl records and the vibes were great. Ample amount of seating and big picnic style tables that are large enough to play games with friends.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Highly underrated brunch spot!“

“The best Puerto Rican food spot in the city! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Stopped by on our way out of town. Bright cute coffee shop with multiple tables and outlets if you need them. A+ customer service, I ended up getting a speciality drink and honestly want the biggest fan based on personal taste. The staff were super nice about it and when I asked graciously made me a latte instead.“

“Visited with friends last Saturday. Had absolutely the best chicken shawarma ever. The marinade and addition of pickles in the sandwich put it over the top for me. My wife had the beef sandwich with peppers which was equally delicious. Service was extremely friendly. The place was bright and totally spotless. The view of the St. Josephat grounds was nice too. I would recommend this place at or near the top of my list.“

“What an awesome space! I took my toddler after school for a treat and we really enjoyed it. The service was great and we had delicious tea and hot chocolate and even a croissant. The place was super clean and beautifully decorated for dia de muertos. There was also by chance a poetry workshop! We’ll definitely be back and have been telling all our friends about it too! Keep up the great work!“

“Nice cafe right on 11th and Lincoln Ave in the heart of Lincoln Village
Great menu with alot of options
My fav is the tuna sandwich
But the crepes are a talked about favorite among others.
Great place to relax and enjoy good food and converstation.“

“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! 💚“

“This small coffee shop, tucked in the 777 build has been a nice ritual for me when I have to head into the office. The Brista is very friendly and he has made some pretty solid recommendations which have helped me change up my routine from a regular latte. I also like how they also have Lupi & Iris soups in the grab and go cooler, perfect when I don't have dinner planned for the evening.“

“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.“

“Butterfly museum 🦋 hands down amazing experience!“

“Food was incredible! Our server Claire was FANTASTIC! 10/10 recommend for a top tier dinner experience!“

“I stopped there today since I was in the area and saw it had good reviews and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere and service were great, staff was extremely friendly, and food (chicken capri panini and iced tea) was delicious! I will absolutely stop in again and will recommend to others!“

“We had a bridal shower there last weekend and it was wonderful. I worked with Joel and Mateo and they helped make sure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them as an option for an event center for small gatherings. Thank you!“

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

“First time visiting. The specialty juices are amazing. The food was hot and delicious. We loved it. Will definitely return when we are in the area.“

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

“We tried Mochiring recently and although there was a wait for drinks and hot dogs, I expected it with all of the buzz about this place. The drinks were amazing, the hotdogs are a MUST, especially the number 10. The doughnuts were super fresh and flavorful, I wish they had more flavors to try but I’m sure that will come with time. it’s still very early in their opening process so I understand them working things out. I’m more than happy to wait for food there, it is absolutely worth it. We have been craving it since our first visit!“

“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.“
