I'm not that big of a fan of their food cause it's so expensive for small portions and its just okay too, we actually got stomach aches after eating.

I heard positive things about this coffee shop and wanted to see for myself if it was worth it. The…read moreshort answer is yes! The location is on the east side, but we were able to find some street parking because we went early and there were metered parking spots nearby. The aesthetic of the place is modern and clean. I like the gold decor accents. It's a nice place to go and study or work as well. They have a variety of sweets in their display case. They even had Dubai chocolate that were Labubu shaped!! So creative! We got the cinnamon toast latte and banana matcha. Both were delicious, more on the sweet side, which I don't mind. They also have those trendy fruit mousses I've been seeing on social media. We decided to share one because it is a little pricey (12 bucks for one), but I know it is intricate to make. We got the mango mousse, and it was light and tasty. I enjoyed this coffee shop and will be back again!

I love coffee but I'm not familiar with much coffee wise American coffee. So many options and all tempting to try! I'm not really a fan of sweet drinks, so I have a lovely cold brew with cardamom and honey. I mentioned this to this to the barista who was very kind and suggested few options. I forgot to take a picture tragically , but they also have these lovely pastries and treats. Almost too beautiful to eat! I'll be back to explore more of this spots delightful drinks!

Definitely a well known coffee shop. Colectivo coffee is good, but not my favorite in Milwaukee…read more It's just really hard to beat this location. I didn't take any photos inside this time but their patio is quite amazing. If you go in the weekends before noon, be prepared to wait awhile. There's just no getting around that unfortunately. Being right off Lincoln Memorial Drive and the Oak Leaf Trail, it's an amazing spot whether you drive, bike, or walk from wherever you're coming from. Parking is limited in their lot, but there's an additional free public parking lot across the street with plenty of availability. For non-coffee drinkers, there's a lot of great menu options for alternatives, as well as some solid food options.

It's a treat on its own I'm reminded because it dosnt really pair to well with anything on the menu with my personal experience. Today I do try the lemon lavender cookie. The cookie seemed to be a sugar cookie but the frosting on the inside is where there was the blend of lemon and lavender. It was such a pretty color and honestly a perfect consistency, almost like a firmer buttercream. The staff was different, but maybe I just haven't come on a weekend in the longest time. I snagged a parking spot on a Sunday which seems like a score. Nice atmosphere, kid friendly. For me it's my favorite location, but when it's warm out and you can be outside that's when it'll have to be 6/5 stars :)

Oakland Cafe serves Colectivo coffee and tea, and I think I saw hookah, too. What I liked were the super comfy chairs that spun so you didn't have to push your chair back to leave the table and the chill music playing, which was mostly soft hip hop (think Digable Planets type of tempo) at the time of my visit.

Once you're in, you're in deep... 8th Note Coffeehouse is great! Expecting Starbucks (or even the Grind) is like going into a dive bar and complaining that it's divey and that there's beer on the floor. This is a volunteer-run coffeehouse and more of a "safe space" in the UWM Union for sci-fi nerds, goths, alterNATIVES; who hang out here to play D&D, Go, Magic, talk politics, skip classes, launch schemes against the MAN. And I love it. Approach the bar for service or you will not be asked what you want. Coffee here is damn cheap, and less than a dollar if you bring your own chalice. Do throw a tip and cast your vote into one of the two tip choice jars o' the day: Buffy- SMG vs. Kristen Bell? Queensryche vs. Queens of the Stone Age?

8th Note has a reputation of the nerdiest place on campus. There are tons of tables with students…read moreplaying magic, catan, dungeons and dragons and more. Many students are almost afraid to enter. For myself, I was rather confused the first time I entered. I couldn't figure out who was working, and who I could ask to order. After looking around like a deer in headlights another student stopped their conversation and asked what they could get me. Since that first experience I was told it was ok to interrupt anyone behind the counter, that they are all student volunteer workers and are there to help me. There's even a sign that says "for better service, just ask." That's really what the name of this place should be. Their drinks are all made from powders, so the quality isn't that great, but it's 3x cheaper than anywhere else. With most prices being $1-$2 you really can't complain. Overall, this place is mediocre, but I'll keep coming back to get my vanilla chai for $1 instead of the $4.25 they charge at the grind or Starbucks.
