Gorgeous space, excellent vibe, plus outdoor seating, too. Plenty of seating where you’re not sitting right on top of one another. Very clean, including bathrooms. The espresso was excellent, with house made syrups! Lainey was very kind and welcoming!

Since we had such a good experience last weekend with the bay view location, we decided to try this location. Not as successful. The latte was great, but that’s it. The Sfogliatelle tasted old, dry, burnt butter taste, i do not recommend it. The atmosphere was ok, i dont think if it is the heat outside, humidity but there was a moldy smell that was not pleasant. Most likely not coming back to this location.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. This coffee bar is hands down my favorite spot in Milwaukee—and honestly, one of my favorite places anywhere. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve been transported straight to a café in Italy. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of soul. Whether I’m catching up with a friend or hunkering down to get some work done, it’s always the perfect setting. The drinks? Phenomenal. Every cup is crafted with so much care, and you can genuinely taste the difference. And don’t even get me started on the food—fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. But what truly sets this place apart are the owners. They’re not just talented—they’re kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can feel the love they pour into every part of the experience. It’s rare to find a place that feels this special. If you’re in Milwaukee and you’re craving a little slice of Europe (with even better hospitality), this is it.

This has to be one of the coolest coffee shops in Milwaukee. Everyone is really nice, service is fast, cool vibe. This is the real deal for coffee afficionados! The oatmilk latte, cortado & strawberry iced matcha are some of our favorites. We love to bring a book or laptops, grab a coffee and just enjoy the vibe and great coffee:) Tons of seating - check out second level if you want to have more of a hidden space. Street parking. Check out the events they have going on!

Yum! So I come into this place and it's like 10am and they have some kind of awesome techno thumping above. They have upper and lowers seating, and the place is really cool, overall. Great vibe, lots of wood, very eclectic. And the best thing about it is the espresso! It's absolutely delicious, not bitter at all; truly amazing. I had the tiramisu which is a seasonal drink. Check it out!
