    Amazing design and feel here. I can't wait to enjoy the experience.
    Serge A.

    It was a nice stop. The place looks amazing. The owners are great. The guests were all professionals and polite. The music level was calm and relaxing. Amazing playlists. The pizza was a microwaveable but it hit the spot. $40 including a tip for 2 beers pizza and a hookah. I'm glad and will be back next time I'm in town.

    Some of the retail items.

    Cool spot! Fun combo of art and coffee with retail (metaphysical products and plants). Super creative space. The owner was our barista and was very nice and helped my husband customize his drink to his liking. I'd go back for sure!

    Dream Lab is such a unique and refreshing space in Milwaukee. My husband and I had the pleasure of chatting with Shawn, the owner and creative mastermind behind this awesome space. DreamLab is super inviting, and the love for other creatives is evident as soon as you walk in. He carries intention candles, oils, jewelry, crystals and several other things you can purchase from local artists. DreamLab also has a bar so you can order lattes (try the signature latte, it's delicious!), order some craft beer, or grab some snacks (pizza & chips). We were welcomed and given a tour of the space when we dropped in on a regular weekday. Shawn's vision for the space is amazing, and his murals showcasing his talents are found throughout. I can't wait to drop in again, and I'm excited to support a local space that actually cares about serving the community it's in. #SupportLocal #SupportLocalArtists Looking to support local creatives and artists?

    What a weird and wacky new neighbor. Unique place for a cup of coffee and a welcome addition to Walker's Point. Fear No Art!

    Stopped in for an evening coffee and was not disappointed. The barista was super friendly and gave us a great recommendation for one of their specialty coffees, which was delicious. The artsy decor is really cool also.

    Here is an updated menu Gigi is amazing

    The service was amazing Gigi was the best and the coffee was good. They don't have soy milk but they have all of the almond and oat milk your heart could desire :). It's such a little chill spot, I will surely be back

    Cozy and artsy coffee house with character in Walker's Point. We went to their grand opening on 1/27/18 and the place was inviting and welcoming right away. Have a coffee beverage or a chai, or a beer! Read, chat, paint...enjoy! The owner told us they plan to have an open space area for painting and related art projects. They have a selection of paintings on the wall that you can admire and/or purchase. Gender neutral restrooms, close to several bus lines, and just overall cool! This feels like a great addition to the neighborhood. Check it out!

    Chillin' at the Dream Lab.

That's because the Pabst brewery closed over 30 years ago and moved to San Antonio. This is where Pabst started and the tour was my favorite of the 3. You can buy your ticket (adult $14) at the coffee shop on the corner and that's where the tour starts. My tour was on a Tuesday and is called the Tall Boy Tour. That's because they give you a 16 oz can of your beer of choice to start. I picked a PBR Light and then we watched a short movie about Pabst. Our tour guide was excellent. I can't remember if his name was Joe or Pat (had long black hair with a beard) but he was very knowledgeable, used humor and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. We went through several old buildings listening to the interesting story of the company (that started in 1844) and the Best family that started it and Capt. Pabst that it was ultimately named after. The tour ends in the nice gift shop. I recommend this tour!

It does truly feel like "Milwaukees living room" The tables are communal - you'll definitely make some new friends, and the energy is just off the charts. I love how all eyes are on the tv and everyone will start chanting "MVP" or "DE-FENCE" like were actually at the game. Bango, the dancers, the drum line and other members of the bucks crew usually make an appearance on a final side note....Over 15 years ago I lamented the tearing down of the old Park East freeway and my easy freeway access....it took over 15 years, but the promise and potential of this part of the city and downtown is finally starting to be fulfilled with the Deer District.
