    Found about this locally owned coffee house after reading a recent story in a Milwaukee magazine. The idea of sourcing beans from their grandfathers farm in Oaxaca really spoke to me. I have to say I found my coffee absolutely delicious. I tried the Coquito Latte (coconut). It had plenty of flavor without being overly sweet, which I appreciated. Positioned a short walk from the lake, you can see Lake Michigan from their spacious patio with plenty of seating. The service was also friendly and the drinks came quick on the busy Saturday I was there.

    First time here. It's a nice spot in St. Francis. There is a good-sized parking lot out front. It has the look of a small home. When you enter through the front door, it's just a short walk to the counter to order. There are café tables outside, and a bunch of other tables inside for different-sized groups. They have an extensive menu of hot/cold beverages, both teas and coffee. If you are hungry, they offer pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and Mexican tacos, quesadillas, etc. Came on a Saturday, late morning. There was a short line of cars that were ordering at the window. The place was already crowded, and there was also a line for the counter. Grabbed a menu while I was in line. It was a bit loud inside, and getting louder as more people showed up. It was a bit of a wait until I arrived at the counter. They offered some interesting variations on the standard coffee/tea offerings. I decided to try the Neblina Tea Latte. To me, it's a Mexican version of a London Fog Tea Latte, but they use chamomile instead of Earl Grey, and horchata instead of milk. They had some really good-looking pastries, and the server recommended the Conchas Twist, filled with strawberry. Waited a little while to get my order. Because of the noise level inside, we decided to grab a table outside. That might have been a mistake because there were plenty of hornets flying around, trying to get into the drinks and the sweets. But we decided that it would still be better than dealing with the noise inside. Both the Neblina and the Conchas were good choices. The Neblina was hot, well-steeped, and had a nice bit of cinnamon on top. The Conchas was fresh, nicely sugared, and the strawberry filling was a nice treat. Lots to like about this place. However, the issues with the noise inside and the hornets outside would give me pause in coming back.

    This morning was the first time I'd visited La Finca at their brick and mortar location (I normally grab a beverage from them at the South Shore Farmer's Market), and my experience started off pretty pleasant. The baristas were super friendly, the service was quick. I went with an iced decaf Horchata Latte, which was sensational. Rich, complex flavor with a smooth finish, all without being too sugary sweet. Highly recommend it. I found a nice table with outlets nearby to get some work done, and was getting started when a staff member decided to open all the doors. Not sure why they did this considering today has been cloudy, windy, and only 40 degrees out. But it made the coffee shop so cold and uncomfortable that I was shivering -- and I was wearing jeans a sweater! Which isn't inappropriate for an indoor setting in mid-May! I looked for another table, but every other seat was in the path of the cold air from the open doors. I didn't last 15 minutes before I had to pack up and leave. It really put a damper on the whole experience. Nonetheless, I'll probably try La Finca's brick and mortar location again in the future. After all, that latte was really, really good.

    My new favorite coffee shop in the Milwaukee area, cute vibes on the inside delicious coffee and matcha. Breakfast sandwich hit all the right spots loved the chipotle mayo

    Very nice coffee shop & great place to catch up with people. I think the interior is big but actual seats are limited for how many food options are available. Only one or two tables in whole place that sit 5+ people. So great for every day but weekend mornings. The coffee was good but the breakfast sandwiches were okay at best. For $10 you really just get two over hard egg, a scoop of black beans, rice on a large sandwich. The Chorizo Tacos & Chorizo Burrito looked great. People also try to put one jacket down to reserve a table so a little annoying the staff doesn't try to make it obvious that you can't just put a water bottle down to save the large table despite you waiting for the other 5 people. Plus you have multiple single person taking up the 4-tops on a Sunday morning.

    10 out of 10! This coffee shop is a gem in St Francis. This coffee shop essentially has an authentic Mexican restaurant inside of it while retaining that intimate coffee shop vibe. Everyone working was friendly and fun... very fast service considering how busy they were. This is an order at the counter and listen for your name if getting a drink - food is assigned a number and they will bring it out if youre dining in. Everything worked very smooth. There's a water station for all your needs. We got there at 10am on a Sunday. It was busier than i thought it was going to be but we had no issue finding a place to sit. Shortly after the line was practically out the door! The Mexican mocha is my new coffee of choice. The torta de jamón was also excellent! The bread was just right and had that perfect crunch to it. Great drinks. Great food. Good for catching up...dates and work. Saw it all in the 2 hours we were there. Casual, fun and chill...or whatever you want it to be. Also has a drive through if you don't want to stop inside!

    Is La Finca still a 5 star coffee house? Yes. They keep doing what they're doing and they do it well as is evidenced by the fact that they've definitely become busier over the years, which is great to see. I popped in recently for coquito latte which is a creamy coconutty dream with a lovely hint of nutmeg. It's a sweet indulgence and I enjoyed every sip. I love the quirky crockery they serve their coffee in. It makes the in-house coffee sipping experience all the more charming. For my breakfast, I got an egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich with avocado added. I love that they put their own flare on dishes so that even if you're having a basic breakfast sandwich, it's distinctly La Finca with it's slightly smoky spiciness of having chipotle aioli added to it. It comes with your choice of fruit or potatoes. I've done both and enjoyed both. The service is always absolutely lovely and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!

    I love this environment. Also love the Latin touches. It's women / family owned (yasssss) they direct trade out of Oaxaca. The iced Mexican mocha: superb Chorizo breakfast tacos: divine Great amount of seating, they have a drive through, great WiFi. Cool place to chill or work.

    such a cute coffee spot! this place has outdoor patio seating that's nicely maintained and plenty of indoor as well. loved their bulletin board that was filled and overflowing with all different kinds of opportunities, resources, and other info. i tried their matcha and was a bit disappointed as i usually am, not strong at all and really watery. i added lavender syrup and it didnt even help that much. i didnt get food but definitely want to try next time! cashier was super nice tho and was helpful. would definitely come back to try their coffee too, sourced from MX!!

    La Finca Coffeehouse in Milwaukee, WI was the possibly our favorite coffee shop in Milwaukee! Both of us got the Tres Leches Latte iced and it was so good!!! Loved the sweet, creamy flavor. Also had a blast playing Where's Waldo while sipping. Cozy spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, eclectic vibe aesthetically. Service was friendly and quick!

    Cutest little cafe - super busy on the weekend! It took awhile to receive my order but again, it was super busy. I love the interior decorations. Latte was 10/10, breakfast sandwich was a 6.8/10. I will be back!

    The Tres Leches latte is everything to me. I live in Florida, and considered moving to Wisconsin solely because of this drink. Get it.

I have been here a few times now and tried different bowls and smoothies- my top favorites include the protein bowl and the choco craze smoothie! I also love how you can customize and add in different ingredients, such as fruits, nut butters, or protein powder to make it your own. The food menu is fairly limited, but I will say that the avocado toast and bagel with cream cheese both hit the spot. They also serve coffee/tea drinks which I have yet to try, and have a variety of other items to look over in the shop. Every time I have stopped by the staff has been friendly and efficient in serving customers. Definitely recommend trying out Karma if you are in the Bayview area and are looking for some nutritious food/beverage options! (Yes this is coming from a Dietitian;) )

    Karma Café is an amazing little spot in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee…read more There are plenty of healthy options to choose from and the Karma Bowl was particularly delicious. The strawberries and granola on top were a nice touch, along with the drizzle of honey. I went with one other person and he had the PB Protein Smoothie which was fantastic as well! I wasn't sure how well pineapple would pair with peanut butter, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Pineapple is such a nice addition to the traditional peanut butter and banana combo. My only gripe is the price point. $10 for a smoothie bowl and $8 for a smoothie seems a little steep. But then again, you're paying for healthy, yummy, high quality food. The gal who runs the shop is also so nice and efficient. I will definitely be returning to Karma Café!

We ordered the Dubai crepe, a small açaí bowl, and a peanut butter croffle sandwich, all which were very good and fresh. I especially enjoyed the Dubai crepe, but would definitely recommend getting a water with it! It is very rich. It took about 45 minutes for our food to come out originally. This was less remarkable given that the restaurant was basically completely full, with some groups having 15+ members to a table. However, when our food was finally ready, the workers had assumed we already received 2 items, I'm guessing as we had been waiting so long, but we had not. It took another 10 or so minutes for the items to come out, and they were delivered to our table. I find that the menu options are all very appealing, but also that most of them would not take 45+ minutes to make. I understand, though, the busyness of this restaurant after so recently opening, and assume this will not always be a problem. I look forward to revisiting this place and trying more menu items--the menu is huge! Also, the interior of this restaurant is beautiful. It has clearly had a lot of work poured into it, and I am sure that it will quickly become a community favorite.
