    Caramel macchiato - sorry stirred and tasted before photo

    I've been wanting to try here. Glad I did. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff extremely nice and friendly. Got my coffee quickly. I got the caramel macchiato with an extra shot. Tastes amazing. They have tons of options of drinks. I definitely will be returning. Next drink I'm getting will be the cherry cold brew.

    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!

    What a gem of a place! So cute inside, though looks very uninteresting from the outside. I think I passed by the place many many times without realizing it was a coffee shop. They roast their own coffee, and have lots of interesting flovors. Interestingly, my whole group ended up just enjoying their dark roast - the national avenue - over all the other flavored kind, but it was quite good. Their latte was also spot on, and hit the spot. Barista/cashier was very friendly and helped us through our coffee selection process very patiently. Totally coming back! If you're not sure why it's called 1848, ask the server! You'll learn an interesting fact about Wisconsin.

    Just an issue with the cup - otherwise the Brazilian choco-nut basic pour take-out coffee was delicious and warming on this breezy, sunny, cooler day.

    I was really looking forward to trying out this coffee shop, but it wasn't that great. In all honesty, my chai latte was delicious, but I probably won't return here. 1848 Coffee is a quaint little shop, but the lack of seating could be a problem during peak hours. The decor was cute and fit with the whole Wisconsin theme, but it was a little chilly in there. They also have a gender-neutral bathroom, which is great. Moreover, you probably won't have any trouble finding parking - the lot is pretty large. One thing that was a bit confusing was their lack of food. There were some prepackaged snacks, but the pastry case was totally empty. I was hoping to grab a little something to eat (considering the fact that other review photos featured some nice looking pastries), but I was really disappointed. 1848 Coffee is pretty much the only independent coffee shop in this area, so if you'd like to support a small business, I'd give it a try. Otherwise, you're better off making the trip to Waukesha and trying out one of the better coffee shops over there.

    Definitely a cute little spot. I really enjoyed the atmosphere that was both family friendly or a perfect spot to bring a good book. I ordered an ice Carmel latte and it was okay. I was not blown away by flavor, and it was a little sweater than I prefer compared to other Carmel lattes I've had elsewhere. The service was friendly and efficient and I had my drink within a minute or two of ordering on a slow Saturday morning. Would definitely stop by again as I'd much prefer coming here than a large chain restaurant.

    Coffee was very high quality. There was not a lot of selection of pastries but if you want a good cup this is the place.

    Literally visit every week. The coffee is smooth and the cold brew is the best we've had.

    Ok it's about time this food truck gets it's own page on Yelp because they have been in this spot…read morefor a while now. I found this truck after finding my regular truck gone on a Sunday while I was craving full blown nachos so I stopped by and ordered the steak nachos. I ordered the steak nachos with steak, lettuce, tomato's, onion, cilantro, cheese, jalapeños and sour cream. I always add cilantro and onion in my Mexican food because they just brings Mexican food to the next level. Just look at my pictures of how f#cking delicious these nachos are and they don't skimp because they completely fill the container. Sadly to say that they dethroned my king of nachos that I had for many years all by my chance stop by because my king was gone. Sadly I really should explore more of the massive menu for a Mexican food truck but the nachos are so delicious with the chips, steak, veggies, cheese and sour cream drizzle makes it very hard. On a side note I ordered my steak nachos not realizing my wallet anemic on cash so I said stop and cancel my order because I have to go to a ATM and I will be right back. To my surprise my ATM was just down the street and when I returned to replace my order the woman handed my my steak nachos, the fact that the woman completely trusted me to return and made my order with the potential of not returning was some great service. 99.9 % of pay first food what evers would never cook your food if you didn't pay first. As you may not know I don't hand out a 5 star rating like candy like other Yelpers and only if a business really impressed me and the woman's service got her that rare Steve 5th star review. The woman had no idea that a Steve stop by and trusting me to return would get the business a home page and the rare 5th star even though it's a food truck, I don't discriminate with my reviews.

    First time trying this food truck --Food was dry and sucked all the moisture out of my body…read more I had the tacos al pastor and my wife had the chicken tacos which were also very dry. I wouldn't recommend this food truck...

    The bar was talking about this food truck that was supposed to happen and it finally happened…read more Since the bar can't really add a kitchen to serve food they did the next best and got there own food truck. There is a core menu and on Fridays they add different items, see my menu pictures. This truck is six days new so it just opened and be patient because everything is cooked to order people. I have been craving a Philly cheesesteak for weeks now so I stopped by for one and the guy threw in free frys, how cool is that. There is an outdoor patio with seating next to the truck so you can eat on the spot on nice days. The ambiance is chill food truck with an open patio connected to a neighborhood bar. The Philly cheesesteak looked good with onions and peppers and creamy/ thick cheese sauce which is my favorite cheese on a Philly cheesesteak with grilled peppers and onions. The hoagie roll was fresh and soft. The chopped steak could have been seasoned a little bit was my only issue but it was good because it's how I like a Philly cheesesteak because creamy/thick cheese sauce is few and far between. I have been to thousands of restaurants in my life and I have never seen frys this style at all. They are seasoned frys but thin like super thick potato chips and not conventional frys. They were super crunchy and seasoned nicely. What gets this truck 4 stars is the unique changing menu from the core menu, the cheese used on the Philly cheesesteak and free frys on my first visit.

    Lucky's was Amazing. They took a couple hours of their time to stop by West Allis High School for a…read moresurprise event. The food was a great price and the parents and kids loved it! We will be teaming up with Lucky's in the future for events. Great food and great people to work with.
