I mean what kid wouldn't be excited for that? So many freshly-made options to choose from, and this one was a winner. Definitely a very sweet-treat, and worth splitting a handful of ways, but boy was it tasty! I also grabbed a latte for myself, which I always enjoy here. I will say however, I wish they had other milk options beyond oat and whole milk. I say this with no means to complain, but both of those milk are very 'heavy' so whenever something like skim or almond is available, that's a personal preference for sure. Love the community feel here, love the goodies, will return.

Saturday, December 2025: My husband and I stopped at Matilda Bakehouse for a coffee and snack. The…read morestaff were very friendly and the cafe is spacious. They had a variety of baked goods to choose from- we opted for the cinnamon roll and the seasonal danish. We also ordered a cappuccino and an americano. The baked goods we had were okay. We were disappointed they wouldn't heat up the cinnamon roll, the reason they gave us was because the frosting would run and be messy. So the cinnamon roll wasn't very enjoyable. I liked the filling on the seasonal danish but I asked for it heated up and it was served at room temp. The coffee was good- we both thought it was weak for our liking but it had good flavor. Also to note, this place is very family-friendly. When we were in, there were a lot of children and families enjoying the space. I would love to come back and try the monkey bread; they were sold out when we arrived this morning and we were told it's a top-seller.

I stopped at An Ox Cafe late at night with my son while traveling through Milwaukee and heading…read moreback to the hotel. From the outside, the place looked lively and entertaining, largely because there was an active cornhole tournament happening. I can honestly say I've never seen that many self-proclaimed cornhole enthusiasts gathered in one place before, so it definitely had a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food experience was inconsistent at best. The cucumber salad was completely inedible. The sausage entrée had multiple hard bits throughout that felt like biting into popcorn kernels, which made it difficult to enjoy. The rice served on the side was noticeably dried out and tasted like it had been sitting for quite a while. To top things off, the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. If you're heavily into cornhole tournaments and the social scene that comes with them, this may be your kind of place. If you're going primarily for the food, expectations should probably be adjusted accordingly.

The curries have been fishy and sour tasting instead of sweet the past few times regardless of what curry to order that I can't order it anymore. Also the pad Thai is way too sweet and less authentic than what it was and the drunken noodle dish was also soaked in sauce that you can't even enjoy it anymore. I wish I could come back but I just can't once the food quality went down over the past year.

We ordered a 12 pack of doughnut and were able to pick 4 flavors. The s'mores ones were amazing! We also really liked the puppy chow. While ordering, one niece picked out Bart's birthday cake and I said something to her like oh you picked those because we are celebrating your birthday. I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place. They both said the mini doughnut place was a highlight of their weekend with me.

Three friends and I booked a reservation two months in advance for Barnacle Bud's Pop-Up Supper…read moreClub. The only reservation we could get was 4:30PM but we were excited we were able to get in at any time. Because of the timing, the sun was setting over the water, which was really pretty to see. I got a little confused with where to enter the building and I guess I went in the wrong way because I walked down the dock and entered the back of the restaurant by the restrooms, lol. Barnacle Bud's had a cool decor vibe and moody lighting. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and you could tell she was very excited about the menu and the pop-up experience. She provided exceptional customer service- she went over the menu thoroughly, came back to check on us multiple times, and always refilled our water, which I always appreciate! To start, we ordered wine and the relish tray. Everything on the relish tray was a little too vinegary for me but most of the table enjoyed it. However, the four of us didn't finish it. It was pretty powerful with vinegar flavor. For an entree, I had the salmon with veggies and my friends ordered the lamb chops, carbonara, and a vegetarian friend ordered a plate of Bud's potatoes and veggies. The food was good but I thought mine was very salty. And I'm glad I ordered my sauce on the side. For dessert, the four of us shared the mousse, which had good flavor and texture. Also to note, there were up-charges for veggies, sauce was $3 extra, etc., so just pay attention to pricing if that's a concern for you. Overall, it was a unique experience and worth checking out.

We also got the fried okra & the banana pudding for dessert. My chicken wings were top tier, & I have high standards when it comes to my wings, haha. When looking for good wings I love a dry rub & these had that w a unique flavor & were seasoned really well. At times I'd get a little hit of spice but overall savory & not spicy. It'd be awesome if it was an option to make them hotter for those of us that like that but again, they're delicious as is. They have a perfect crisp, the meat was cooked perfectly & they're good size wings & meaty, not full of cartilage or fat which I hate. The meat came easily off the bone too. My husband begged for some & we both will be going back for wings for sure. The fries it came with were great too. Nice & crisp on the outside, soft on the inside & seasoned well. The fried okra was good & I liked that they weren't too heavily breaded so u could taste the okra. My husband loved the gyro burger & he normally can finish his meal but it was so big he got two meals out of it. It's impossible to bite so eating some meat first is key. Lastly, the banana pudding was great & a large portion so again, we had leftovers of that too. I do recommend ordering pickup as it's a smaller place with a few tables & takes a while to cook certain menu items but again, was cooked perfectly & was hot & fresh. Also, the owner & her staff were super friendly & it gave a home cooked meal vibe. Our wait went by quickly with all the laughs & conversation. Looking forward to returning!

The fluffy & slightly chewy and doughy texture gives me a weird satisfying feeling. However, I just feel the flavors are a bit off - it's like there's just a layer of sweet glaze on the outside. The blue/green glaze in the donuts in my order is also very runny and watery. And based on my experiences, the donuts must be finished like within a day (best to try immediately) - otherwise the glaze is off the donut. Will be happy to return and try more to support the vegan donut idea!

We have pre-ordered the sugar box from Sugar Cube a bunch during their weekend pop-ups throughout…read morethe city and have never been disappointed! The sugar boxes are really easy to preorder through their website and pickup is pretty painless, even if its a busier one the line usually moves quickly. They have inventive and unique flavors. Some of my favorite have included the marzipan, the cinnamon roll, lavender, and the PB&J. The flavors change and often there are seasonally appropriate and adorable decorations as well. The dough of the donuts themselves have a great flavor. And they are quite hearty and filling too! We normally get the different flavors and cut them into equal pieces to share, because its the best way to try everything! I can't wait to see what else they come up with, and am so glad to see them popping up in so many different places! Try them them as soon as you can!
