There is indoor seating for groups or individuals. You can build your own salad or customize one of their signature options. I usually order ahead, the Santa Fe salad with quinoa and tofu, and they have it ready when I arrive! You start by choosing your fresh greens, spinach, spring mix, romaine lettuce, and/or quinoa. Then a protein and any extras. Customizing one of the signature salads, you can swap ingredients too! The salads are a great size for the price and filling! A great, healthy option when downtown!

If you're…read morelooking for a spectacular sub sandwich, Bagel, or a combo of both well you've came to the right place. We tried three different sandwiches and each exceeded our expectations. The first with the American- classic bologna, American cheese and a crunchy chip on top. The Italian is exactly what you would assume - subtly spicy with extremely fresh meat and the perfect bread. The pork pastrami was a warm welcome to your taste buds. It was tender and had a bold flavor from the horseradish cream sauce. The service was efficient and fast. This is a definite hit up for a tasty sub. Would gladly come back.

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!

I love Indian food - especially northern Indian. Bombay Sweets is now at the top of my list because…read morethe food is AMAZING and they have a great variety of Indian foods. The atmosphere and staff were also great! For the food - everything we tried was excellent: kachori, bhel poori, mixed veg utappam, thali platter with vegetable korma and paneer burji. Most were recommended by the person who took our order (we asked her opinion on things repeatedly and she was so kind and thoughtful!). Our favorite was the kachori. The lentil filling was delicious and the fried pastry shell was TO DIE FOR. The tamarind chutney was the best tamarind chutney I've ever had. The utappam was also great! It came with a coconut chutney that became my favorite chutney ever! And my partner loved the sambhar. If we had to do it over again, we would have ordered the onion utappam because the cooked bell peppers in the mixed veg uttapam weren't our fave - but it didn't take away from the deliciousness of the crispy, flavorful utappam. I really liked the bhel poori too! When I looked at it, I thought it would be dry and lack flavor ... but I was definitely wrong about that! It was sweet and savory not at all dry. We did add the raita sauce from the thali platter on the top of the bhel poori for a little extra sauce / flavor and were pleased with the addition. The thali platter was great because we got to pick whichever two curries we wanted. As we had for most of our food choices, we asked the lovely lady who worked there about her recommendations. She was spot on with her recommendations of vegetable korma and paneer burji. Both were excellent. I also got the chai tea - it was warm and yummy. My partner got the Indian lemonade. He liked it a lot, but it wasn't my fave. It was worth trying though. And finally, the desserts. The thali platter came with a gulab jamun - and it was the best one my partner and I ever had! Then after finishing our meal, we went to check out the other desserts. We had no idea what to get so the same lady who helped us figure out what to order for dinner also helped us with the desserts. She even let us sample a lot of them! We got a lot of different things and all had great flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I expected the bill to be quite high because we ordered so much. But it was just over $50 which seemed very reasonable to me. I'd recommend this place to anyone! So go there ... and thank me later :)

Can't wait to go back and try more of the bread delicacies.

The chai was well made, with nice foam and served at a good temperature. Unfortunately, they don't have mugs, so hot drinks are served in paper cups. That's not my preference when I'm sitting down to enjoy a hot beverage. The chai mix they use (I'm pretty sure it's a powder) was a bit on the sweet side. The scone, however, was delicious. It had a great texture, lots of peach flavor, and was a generous size. Service: The service was friendly and helpful. I also had a chance to observe the staff interacting with other customers, and everyone received the same consistently warm service. Lots of smiles and genuine greetings. Atmosphere: It's not a traditional coffee shop, but it's a pleasant place to enjoy a beverage and a pastry. The large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the products are attractively displayed, making it easy to see all of your choices. A very good experience.

They seated us at a table that has the best light and even turned down the music a little when I asked (usually they say they will and then don't).

I really liked the samosas.

Back in the day, there was fresh roasted coffee on Saturday evenings, but the food is still fantastic. We sat at a table this time, I prefer the 'pedestal' personally. If you're feeling a little adventurous just do it. It can be intimidating to not have utensils- you just tear off a piece of the Injera (like sourdough crepe) and pick up what you want to eat. Not everything is spicy- but some is, so if you're not up for spice, be careful. There are lots of vegan options and it's ok to call the waitstaff over (he doesn't like to interrupt).

Friendly vegan spot (5/5 Green Stars) If you're visiting…read moreMilwaukee then a visit to E Brady St. is probably worth your while - a few interesting spots here, including Twisted Plants. I wanted to support my vegan brothers and sisters and, having being on the road (actually on Amtrak, so rails, really) for a while, I was craving some protein. Following the advice of the friendly staff members, I opted for an order of "Drummies" (Dazed & Confused) to maximize my protein intake. I ended up eating it in the restaurant and thought the vegan drumsticks were delicious with the two homemade sauces provided (ranch and chili). This dish is pricier than most of the others ($15, compared to a more reasonable $4 for fries or $10 for vegan mozzarella sticks) but memorable. The place could do with a few tweaks in terms of décor/atmosphere but the friendly staff helped make it a nice experience. I'm also rating the Twisted Plants 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * Everything on the menu - savory food and pastries - is vegan. * Most of the food packaging is compostable. * Staff members are happy to tell you what's in your food. The drummies that I ordered are from Lily's Vegan Pantry - made in Taiwan from soy and seasoning (no palm oil). * Cookies are from local vegan entrepreneur, Bunny's Bite. * It fills a useful niche of craveable vegan (elevated) fast food. Next time I want to try the Crispy Chik'n Salad (made with organic greens) as it's one of those dishes I never tried before I went veggie.
