“Stopped in to pick up some food for a friend. The employee servicing me gave me a free bag of donuts. Need I say more??? thank you buddy. I devoured the whole bag with a glass of ice cold milk. YumKid-friendliness: Very friendly in my opinion.“
“From the moment you walk through their corner shop door, you feel like you've entered a familiar and comfortable place. The service and atmosphere are just what you want out of a local coffee shop. Andy and Anya were super friendly and conversive. And she makes a fantastic cortado! The Cream City Brick and the nods to the local hometown make you feel like you've entered something truly Milwaukee. The coffee is great; it's now one of my Go-Tos anytime I'm in the area. What a great discovery this morning! Apparently, it only took me 20 years to fnd it! Happy 20th!“
“We love it here! From the terrific staff to the great drinks to the positive and open minded affirmations covering the walls, this place is an absolute gem. Both my nanny and myself take my son often and he loves the play area so much. I stop in a few times a week for the coffee/drinks, as it’s the best on the block (& that’s saying a lot bc there’s not shortage of competition on North Ave!) Such an awesome addition to Wauwatosa!“
“Love this little place- we were so surprised to discover it was only a 10 minute walk from our new place, and had definitely alleviated some of the sadness of losing the walkability of downtown! Prices are absolutely fair for the quality, everything I’ve purchased here has been delicious (sandwiches, bakery items, drinks). There’s something new in the bakery case everyday which keeps us coming back frequently. Service is super friendly and helpful! I’m so excited to frequent this place even more in the summer when their rooftop patio opens (and for longer hours). Keep doing what you’re doing, Bread Pedalers!Dietary restrictions: Lots of Gluten Free and Vegan options!“
“Love this place, best var for craft coctails on the west side of milwaukee/suburbs. Been here so many times, food wise they just have a few simple apps like a giant pretzel, or a cheese platter which are all fine, tgey dont have a full menu butnypu can vring food if you want. Drink wise they have a nice selection of craft beers and a changing list of craft cocktails based on the season. There are unique flavors, and something for everyone from sweet to dry and everything between, all well balanced. Its in on old fire station so there isnt much indoor seating but lots outside & a gas fire pit for warmth.Parking: Only street parking available“
“Unique lattes that make this a special coffee shop to come to in Milwaukee. I had the experimental Pirate Lyfe latte and I somewhat regret that decision. There was a distinct bitterness that didn’t go well with the other flavors. The atmosphere of the cafe is very calm and this makes a great place to read or study. The worker was nice and the latte making process is very visible. It was a cool place but it could’ve been better.“
“New owners still getting their feet grounded. Sort of an unusual place. Mexican and Thai food. Talked with the owner, a very nice guy. They are still experimenting with the menu choices, based on the customer preferences. We would dine again.“
“Favorite place to stop before I go in for my internship to get my pick me up tea and my shake for lunch. Always excited to try a new flavor and talk to the owner who always is open for conversation. To say it’s become my new healthy habit is an understatement it’s a part of my lifestyle and I absolute love being able to go to 4one4 with it being so close by to my internship.“
“The most incredible brunch food! Come support this women-owned, Latina-owned business.Everything on the menu is fabulous, but I can’t help but order the Carnita Hash Bowl every time. Such amazing flavors, veggies, and a generous portion of pork. The Serrano Pork Belly bowl is also incredible with crispy yet juicy and tender pork belly. You won’t leave hungry.P.S. their garlic bloody mary might be my favorite in the city. Amazing, fresh bloody mix with a Modelo chaser!P.P.S. Check their website for their weekly drink specials for a $6 drink of the day!“
“I absolutely love this place! My bagel was absolutely perfect and as the breakfast sandwich, just to die for! The service was excellent and super fast. I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop.Parking: I went at 11:30 and had no issues finding a spot.“
“Very nice place. Food was great. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was good. It wasn't busy when we went but even if it was full it feels like the tables are spread out enough to where you don't feel packed in. Food came out quickly. The portion was good too.“
“The food and the coffee is great. I like the decor and the service is perfect. The only complaint I have relates to the plates they use to serve the food. I ordered a chipotle burrito, and they serve it in a plastic tray with holes, and a sheet of some kind of paper over it.... Well, that is not wise. The burrito has sauce in it, so it 1) makes it so that the paper gets soaked and it starts breaking apart, getting some paper pieces on the food and 2) the holes in the tray do not help. That burrito either needs a different type of tray or less sauce.“
“You already know you’re going to be receiving some delicious donuts, but to have the stress free experience of ordering online and picking up with skipping the line is priceless. Cranky’s has yet to disappoint any of my coworkers whenever it’s my turn to bring in the donuts.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free donuts too.“
“The açaí flavor at Sweet Joy Brazilian Cafe tastes just like what it does in Brazil! This place is a good way to taste the Brazilian Açaí in Wisconsin. I got my açaí bowl to-go & it was an easy delivery process. A few things I would change are making the bowls bigger (only one size) & making the açaí not as icy. I would come back here again.“
“The cake was absolutely amazing! The design was everything we wanted. Customer service was very good from meeting with the design team to planning the delivery and the execution of the delivery. Our guests loved the flavors of our cake. Great service! Great company! Thanks Aggies Bakery for playing such a major part of our day.“
“Super HIP place. Great bagels. Thank you Wisconsin Foodie. Bagels fresh and delicious. On weekends the line might be outdoors, and the line moves well. Had the Latke waffle! Yummy and crunchy. If you don't know what a Latke is, look it up or better yet, surprise yourself.“
“I really enjoy this cafe. Always great selections of coffee and snacks. The cafe can get very busy and occasionally doesn't have enough seats and enough staff to help wipe down tables and take out trash frequently during the rush times.“
“The smash burgers are amazing. The paninis are huge and delicious. The coffee is Milwaukee's own Pilcrow!!!!The bar is delicious. The lower level vault is a speak easy that is so fun. I enjoy karaoke Tuesdays but it seems like lots going on all the time.“
“What a lovely coffee oasis in Milwaukee's lower east side. Stopped by here on a Saturday morning for bites and the hope of an espresso drink. Since it's winter, their seating options are somewhat limited, but we were able to get a hightop table (right near the heater no less!). I ordered a caramel mocha made with almond milk. What a lovely beverage. Their espresso is clean and smooth and of the highest quality. Neither the chocolate nor caramel were overly sweet--it was delicious. I got their M40 commuter breakfast sandwich. It comes with egg, sausage, smoked ham, pepper jack cheese, and house made cheese sauce on a toasted english muffin. I had them nix the ham and swapped out the pepper jack for cheddar. I think the house made cheese sauce must be pepper jack based as they didn't add that either (no biggie). It made for a basic but tasty breakfast sandwich. Their space is amazing for summer with plenty of outdoor and indoor/outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back in the warmer months. The only slightly bizarre thing is there is also a Nomad bar on the corner (about half a block away). I'm sure it's part of the same biz but is definitely separate. We wandered in there looking for coffee (our mistake). So, if you find yourself in a bar, exit and go down the block/side street a bit and you'll find it! Get to it!“
“Got the specialty flight and in my opinion the coffee flavor was not strong enough. Could be personal preference but the coffees were like sweet water. I’ll go one more time to get a regular latte to see if it was just the specialty drinks that lacked coffee strength. Also, maybe the way they are is fine for others so overall worth a try.“
“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!“
“I’ve frequented this establishment the since the early 2000’s. They have consistently had a great atmosphere and staff. I saw another review that said they have the best chai tea latte and they are not wrong. Interesting adult menu, I can’t wait to come back and try.“
“Cool coffee place with super friendly staff. had hot coffee and wifey had cold brew after they let us try samples of each.Check out their poster of rules/code of conduct. it is amazing that I was allowed to enter. lolI'm not a local but I would go again!“
“BEST cortado i’ve ever had—so smooth, and the homemade whipped cream on top was the perfect addition. the barista even explained that he added coffee bean shavings on top, which was a sweet touch ?we stopped in after going to retique around the corner, making for a lovely afternoon “
“The best damn diner in Milwaukee. The family that owns Landmark is so kind and attentive. Food comes out quickly, hot and delicious. We’ve been regulars here for the last 10 years and have never found another diner that can compare!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“Very nice set up and atmosphere. The baristas are always friendly. For some reason the crowd always seems off putting whenever I enter though, almost judgey. I haven't been there in a while so maybe that has changed. The chai tea latte is amazing there!“
“I was just here with a couple for their engagement! They are big fans of Likewise and wanted to included a coffee stop in their engagement photos. It was so cute, the staff were so nice, the photos are so good, and absolutely some of the best coffee I have ever had!“
“I was introduced to this super cool coffee shop through a Yelp event and, for that, I am super grateful. It's a coffee bar with a large indoor space - lots of tables on the main floor and there's a second floor with additional seating as well. In addition to coffee and snacks, they have a bar with really good drinks, pizza, and sandwiches. We stopped by here after a date night at Glassnote next door for a bite to eat before we met up with a few friends for more drinks. We got a margherita pizza, which took about -25 minutes to get to us. You would think that for a coffee place, the food would be mediocre, but that is NOT at all the case! The pizza had a really nice thin crispy crust. The sauce was full of flavor and the olive oil on top was *chef's kiss*. The cheese was sparse (like a true Margherita), but the whole pie was easily one of the better pizzas I've had recently! They also had a live band when we stopped by, which added a very cool vibe and for a Saturday evening, it was super busy with all kinds of people - some socializing, some working. We didn't imbibe at this visit, but have had their espresso martinis before and they are truly top notch and I highly recommend!“
“First time visit & hadn't done hookah in YEARS, but this was definitely a nice reintroduction to it. Loved to local artwork on display, which is buyable if you're so inclined to do so (which I'm already trying to save up for 1 piece, lol). Would definitely recommend & plan on going back “
“Let me start off by saying that my opinion on the taste of my coffee is most likely not the average opinion. I have more of a sweet tooth, so the sweeter the syrup flavor, the happier I am. The Coffee quality is better than average. The customer service was very nice and felt welcoming. The atmosphere was really nice for anyone to sit in and enjoy some time there. Ordered the Madagascar vanilla hot latte, but there is not enough flavor for myself. Ordered a hot chocolate and simply not enough flavor than average coffee shop so it was quite disappointing. Would still recommend someone to try it out.“

“We walked in after a meal to play some pinball and had such a wonderful time. The Honeybear dinky donuts are so tasty and also love the classic cinnamon sugar donuts too. The small size is a perfect bite of dessert and allows you to try multiple flavors. Also absolutely love the 80s/90s pinball and arcade machines. Fun atmosphere and super friendly hosts! Thank you and we'll be back soon“
“An amazing asset to our neighborhood and community. Love having a coffee shop back in Riverwest on Center Street and the owner does amazing community work/collaborations. More positive energy like this in Milwaukee please!! Plus the baked goods are <chef’s kiss>!“
“This place is beautiful and comfortable! Over the past year, I confess I often wondered if this spot work ever actually open. It was worth the wait. Staff are friendly and efficient, the food looks good, and the coffee is great. The regulars I saw there this morning felt like a Seinfeld episode or Cheers. I'll be back.“
“Very cozy little coffee bar joint.The servers and baristas were nice and friendly chatting with customers over the drink bar. As well the coffee was a good sweet kick up in the morningWould recommend over like a Starbucks if your in the area“

“This small Cafe has some great smoothies and gluten-free waffles! This is an excellent choice for breakfast for people with celiac disease and I promise you'll love it even if you don't need to eat gluten free!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options for customers with celiac disease“
“In the heart of a historical neighborhood, you'll find this cafe', where old Milwaukee meets new Milwaukee. Here, the staff is friendly and the chef's take time to craft delectable food and baristas serve tasty coffee and smoothies. I must add that Rise and Grind Cafe' is the only establishment that I found that offers vegan soul food options regularly, in addition to made-to-order vegan breakfast items such as french toast, eggs, sausage, grits. But wait, plant based hot dogs, burgers, and deli sandwiches are on the menu also!I would definitely recommend.“

“I love this coffee shop. I travel to the Milwaukee area about once every month and a half and this is my go to. The coffee is good. The pastries are Great. And the service is EXCELLENT. I would HIGHLY recommend Stone Creek if you’re in the Glendale part of Milwaukee.“
“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!!!“
“My new favorite tea's! Thoughtfully crafted flavors. I ordered a bunch of different flavors both medicinal and of course for morning, getting my day started. I must say I am so very impressed, the ones specifically for medicinal uses even taste good. Which is hard to find the good balance of flavor and health. I got a few specifically for my morning caffeine and even those have a great variety of herbs and sure are delicious!! Top 3 - Fresh start, Kiwi Strawberry and Stress Out!! I usually only find 1 maybe two for each tea company that try. But Urbal Tea well.. I love almost all the ones I ordered. Nice job! You can tell the love that was put into making these.“
“Fiddle heads is one of my most favorite places to go, whether to study, see friends or just grab a quick drink I love it! The peopel inside are always very welcoming. And my favorite part of the Fiddle heads is the outdoor seating options open year round. I love that in the winter I can still enjoy the "outside" while cozy and warm!“
“While it may not serve me to make this place even more popular, I am posting this review to perhaps give more people the opportunity to enjoy an Italian coffee bar experience in Wauwatosa. There is also a Walker’s Point location. Divertirsi!“

“When your goal is the whole experience, and you believe in families, and you want healthy food, and ESPECIALLY when you have a family member who is ADHD (for example), this is a wonderful restaurant! It's welcoming, peopled with kind hearts and knowledgeable, empathetic folk. It has a sensory room, and an art room with small, achievable projects. True, the menu is limited but the food is healthy and fresh, and by this time, aren't you sold on it? Go there. You'll be uplifted! We were.“
“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!!“
“first time going here and we were intrigued a lot by the choices. everything on the menu was detailed and they even had a tablet with pictures of some menu items. the items we got tasted phenomenal and better than starbucks and other competitors. the atmosphere is calming when needed and controlled when busy. dan is a really chill and you just feel relaxed. highly recommend“
“It's very small, but the service and food is great! I put $10-$20 but I really don't remember how much I spent. I think it was right around 9 or 10 dollars. The 5th question I really don't remember. I had a vegetarian bagel sandwich, though.Vegetarian options: I just know what I got was a hummus cucumber bagel. The bagel was toasted and it had lettuce as well.“
“I had the most amazing almond cookie of my life here yesterday. The inside was perfectly gooey and sweet. A lot of places miss the mark on the sweet almond flavor, but not this bakery! My fiancé and I also got a brown butter oatmeal cream pie and snickerdoodle cookie, and both were incredible!Oh, and they have treats for doggies too! Get something for yourself, and something for your heckin' good boy/girl.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“
“I got the veggie scrambler and my brunch mate got the breakfast sandwich on the croissant. Both were delicious, good quality food and good portion size, without breaking the bank! Very satisfied. Locally owned (the person working today is the owner, she's very kind) and good tunes playing! Highly recommended.“
“Wallace was fun, easy to talk to, and made me the most fabulous Mai Tai I’ve ever had. They have great recommendations and it helped that everyone in the bar loved them too and helped me figure out what I should get to drink! Amazing atmosphere to which I credit Wallace. We had the best “
“This place is fantastic! A cornerstone of the neighborhood, this bakery is serving up fresh baked bread, pastries, and cakes.They brew some delicious earl grey tea as well.The Full Montagu 9.4/10; the bread alone is enough to make my mouth water, but the combination of the cold cut meats, thinly sliced red onion, and crisp romaine? OHBreakfast Sandwich with lemon aioli 8.2/10London Fog 7.5/10They serve out of the window during certain hours and have lovely heaters to warm patrons during the winter months.“
“I had nothing short of a warm welcoming visit. They greeted me happily when I first walked in and the girl taking my order, kayla I think??, was so sweet. She had a smile the entire time and held eye contact and helped me figure out what to order. The woman making my drink, glasses maybe grace, was dancing and having a great time while making my complicated order. This location has pure vibes and I see myself coming back soon. They are all so sweet and happy“
