Been to several of the Fiddleheads in Milwaukee. I typically find it to be a very good experience…read more The locations are all designed differently, and each has qualities that make it unique among other Fiddleheads and local coffee shops. This particular location has plenty of space for different size groups. You can choose between the downstairs area, an upstairs space, or a nicely appointed outdoor patio. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The baristas are usually high quality, but occasionally you will get someone who is either in training or using their own techniques. Today was a good example of that challenge. My usual London Fog Tea Latte was a surprise. You can check out the pictures. Whoever made it steeped the tea in the cup and then poured the steamed milk over the top, instead of removing the steeper and then adding the milk. No worries. I went back and they were happy to fix it. The reworked one was a bit cooler than I like, but the texture was much better. The bakery here is good too. There is a nice selection, though it does not taste as fresh as if it were made on site. I always ask to have bakery items warmed up, which I think improves the taste.

There's plenty of space, so it didn't feel cramped at all, which I really appreciated. It's also located in the quaint Tosa Village, which is a plus too. We both ordered the Verano and it was incredible! Definitely something I'd come back for. The barista was friendly and available to answer any questions without making us feel rushed. Overall, a really nice, low-key place if you're looking for good coffee and a comfortable environment to sit for a while.

When I first pulled up to the building it was 7:30am, and they were open. But the windows somehow made it look dark inside, and I literally had to put my nose to the glass to see any activity. Otherwise I might have thought they were closed and kept going (special glass that cuts down glare inside?). Once inside there are several different areas for seating; the bar with stools, the front windows ledge with more stools, or the center area that has larger tables for various size groups. Lots of natural light from the front windows. The interior design, is a bit industrial, well lit, and welcoming. Things were neat and clean. Inside there was a short line to the counter which was right ahead. Took a few minutes to arrive at counter and order. Got a pleasant greeting and help with the order. I ordered the usual London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender,little vanilla, and extra foam). They didn't have much in the way of pastries/bakery. They were out of the Coffee Cake, but suggested the Apple Galette supplied by Miss Molly Bakery. They don't have the ability to warm up the bakery, which was a little disappointment. They took their time steeping the tea, which is a good thing. It came with a nice head of foam, had great flavor, and was the right temperature (148F). Texture-wise it could have been a little creamier. The Apple Galette was amazing. The crust was flakey and nicely sprinkled with course sugar. The apples had great flavor and were moist. The atmosphere was relaxed and most people were having quiet conversations. There's a very chill cat (Sugar) roaming around the place, and occasionally keeping people company. Not my favorite, but definitely a place that I would return to.

The coffee drinks for salad, and I also had a smoothie which was delicious. They also offer food, including pastries and sandwiches. It's a very cool space, and a great spot to get some work done, surf the web, read a book or just hang out with some friends. Parking can be challenging since it's on a major road. There are quite a few coffee shops now within a few blocks in that area, but this is another strong addition to the bustling coffee scene in Tosa.

Rocket Baby is one of my favorite places to stop by for pastries before work!…read more They have a variety of different pastries and bread, breakfast food items, and drinks. My favorites are their danishes, morning bun, and babkas. I love that they also have fun seasonal items as well. I typically stop by around 8:00am during the weekdays and there have been times where the space is packed. If you're in a rush, they also take orders online for pick up. You can either come or use the outside pickup window for your order. While the seating inside is limited, they have a huge patio space! I definitely want to stop by sometime in the spring/summer. :-)

Bakery items did not last long enough to be photographed teehee!…read more I scored a Goodie Bag the other day with Rocket Baby Bakery and woah! First off crazy amazing deal and easy process to pick up my bag. I ordered a large bag - if you're unfamiliar it's like a mystery bag and helps local businesses sell unsold food items to not create waste. The bag had a loaf of white bread, two cranberry orange muffins, monkey bread!!! and this delicious swirled croissant cinnamon pastry thing.

We were a group of seven and were able to find a couple of tables to pull together. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. They make excellent tea lattes. I usually go with a London Fog, and they do a very nice job with it, even adding some latte art. If I could make one suggestion, it would be offering a 16 oz option. They currently have 12 oz mugs, and sometimes I'm just looking for a little more. A tiny issue. Thanks!

I was greeted promptly by the friendly staff, which I appreciated. They were extremely patient as I perused the lunch menu. I settled for the Chicken Bacon Avocado Melt. For the price, I found this to be a tremendous value, especially with the addition of chips. It hit all the notes I would expect from a Chicken Melt. One thing keeping this from being a 5 star was the cleanliness of the dining area. There were a number of dirty tables and debris on the floor. One note of caution: Parking can be tricky here. Be prepared in case you come during the morning rush.

Their bags of coffee have gone down in size and up in price unfortunately. I get it - the market, growing conditions, etc. Just odd that a bag of their coffee is more at the cafe than in the grocery stores. The staff are friendly though and the cafe gives you the perfect coffeehouse vibes. Chatter fills you as you walk in and people are catching up over their drinks. Not a fan of the small parking lot here. You're lucky to get a spot and to get out of the lot with traffic nearby. But, if you can walk, that would be ideal.

Nice little coffee shop just on the outskirts of the village in downtown Tosa…read more Nice selection of coffee options and some simple pastries. They also do have a few breakfast sandwiches available. The star of the show here is the cute little patio tucked away in the back. Ample shade for you to post up for work, peacefully read a book or catch up with friends. They do have some outdoor seating in the front of the coffeeshop as well. Overall, a quaint little spot for a pleasant morning.

We opted for the leather chairs next to the window so I ate with my plate in my lap. It's a cool spot. The building, the decor is all really cool. I would definitely eat here again on my next visit.
