    Been here several times before and have had good experiences. It's a great location, just down the street from Lakefront Brewery. There is a nice patio out front, a perfect spot on a warm day. Inside there is plenty of seating for different sized groups. They have a massive plant wall that gives it a bit of a tropical feel. Came with a friend for breakfast today. Plenty of windows bring in loads of natural light. Their menu has quite a few breakfast items, and many of them can be vegetarian. There were a few other people eating inside, and the noise was very subdued. Got a friendly greeting and help with our orders. Wanted to get a couple of hot beverages, but their machine was down. No coffee, no chai latte, and not even a hot chocolate to be had -- very sad! We decided on waters. For food, we ordered the Breakfast Wrap (with avocado) and the Chickpea Chorizo Tacos. It took a few minutes for the food to come out. When it did, it was well presented, hot, very tasty, and good sized portions. We each loved what we had and would definitely order this again. A great place for breakfast. Prices are reasonable and a good value considering the quality and serving size. Hope they get their coffee machine fixed soon!

    From the ambience to the delectable eats, Beerline offers a variety of unique menu items that cater to the veggie/gluten crowd. While it was hard to choose, we settled for the fromage and cinnamon roll pancakes. The fromage was gooey, fresh, and flavorful. The pancakes were sweet and had the perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar. We paired this with the smoothies, which were fresh and yummy! The signature mimosa was absolutely delicious too. The staff were warm and inviting, and the service was quick. The inside was beautiful, inviting to all, and very clean. Definitely a must-stop-spot in mke!

    Classic Breakfast Crepe with Egg, Vegan Cheese, and Avocado
    Isabella K.

    For my first visit at Beerline Cafe, I had a so-so experience. I was hoping to order the Strawberries and Cream Crepe, but when we arrived around 10 a.m. they were already sold out. So, I went with the Lemon Poppy Seed and Blueberry Crepe -- it was just alright. It was so heavily saturated in lemon curd and a blueberry syrup that it was essentially glued to my plate, making it difficult to cut. After a few bites, I decided not to finish it since it was far too sugary for my taste. For a beverage, I went with an Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. It was really quite tasty, but halfway through drinking it I did spot a hair floating in the drink, so I set it aside. My dining companion opted for the Classic Breakfast Crepe with Egg and Vegan Cheese and Avocado. He enjoyed most of it, but the vegan protein that was included wasn't to his taste, so he didn't finish his meal. He did note that the Cold Brew was good. Service was fine, albeit a tad slow considering it wasn't too busy. The patio outside was absolutely lovely, though. After tip, we spent around $40 for our breakfast. Considering how neither of us finished it, I don't think it was worth that price. However, I do plan on returning to Beerline Cafe. It's been recommended to me numerous times, so it could be that I just ordered the wrong item.

    Strawberry Turmeric Lemonade

    Not pictured vegan grilled cheese with tofu ham!! I give it a 6/10, the tofu ham was pretty salty and almost overpowered the sandwich itself but besides that it was pretty good!! I got the strawberry turmeric lemonade and was sad I got the smaller size after realizing it was sooo tasty! This is a great spot for vegan options, though limited if you have a tree nut allergy because of the cashew based dishes. Super cute inside with lots of greenery and local artists featured! Very intimate seating but great lighting cause of the windows. Definitely a nice spot to grab food with a friend! Staff are great too, sooo friendly and helpful!! Will be coming back for sute!

    Greek Salad, comes with vegan feta, add that tofu. It's fantastic.

    This is a good spot man. We're visiting in preparation to move and we went two days in a row. The first day I had the buffalo Mac and chickpea chorizo tacos, my partner got the hash brown Benedict. All of it was great. Today I had the Greek salad and it's perfect, add the tofu chicken. That tofu chicken is real good. It's listed as vegetarian with vegan options but a lot of stuff is just vegan as listed on the menu and they make it really easy to find and see what's what. Thank you for existing.

    Beerline Cafe has recently become our favorite. The chickpea chorizo tacos are spicy and I love that they use corn tortillas. Their mushroom barley burger doesn't taste too mushroomy like the texture is great not too chewy. I also loveee their specials. I had to get their vegan crunchwrap because miss taco bell but the sour cream and cheese is too much. It was a little burnt but the inside still tasted good. On a different time I got the Gyro with mushrooms and the lemon hummus with the mint was so tasty. I also tried their banana split icecream shake. I miss eating those! It was like drinking nostalgia from a shake. The area is also really cute with the leaves hanging.

    Vegan Mexican crepe, Rosemary potatoes, crepe suzette , and yogurt parfait.

    Here in Milwaukee on vacation and found this place on Yelp. Glad we came over here, the food is delicious! Most things can be made vegan which is great. I had the Mexican crepe, vegan style with added avocado and black beans. It was fantastic and filling. The side of rosemary potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. My husband really enjoyed his crepe suzette and yogurt. The cafe is very warm and welcoming. Quite busy yet didn't seem too impossible to get a table.

    I commend Beerline for their chorizo chickpea tacos. These were hot and delicious, well plated and well constructed by a competent employee. The dessert crepe was also very good, although i may recommend that the syrup glaze is *too* sweet for refined tastes. Unfortunately I cannot give a 5 star because the strawberry turmeric lemonade is *undrinkable*. The sweetness renders it illness inducing in any metabolically content human being

    We made the quick drive into Milwaukee from Illinois on a recent trip, and decided to stop by Beerline Cafe based on a YouTube recommendation having been our first time to the city. You place your order in the front and can chose any seating option either inside or outside the cafe. There were plenty of seats available when we arrived The wait on a Sunday around brunch time was pretty long given what we ordered, two classic crepes. The ambiance, greenery and outdoor seating options make it a very welcoming and low key breakfast place. Once we got the Classic Breakfasts Crepes nearly 45 minutes later, we were pretty underwhelmed. The tempeh bacon had no flavors/textures that would be reminiscent of the actual thing. The texture of the crepe was a bit weird (crispy in some areas) and the overall stuffing dry and not very filling. Honestly wanted to rate this place higher, and maybe I'll give them another try next time in town. I will say their Ginger Turmeric Citrus drink had the right amount of kick and tasted very healthy. Drinks were my favorite this time. Price: 4.5/5 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3.5/5

    Plenty of street parking, easy to find, clean, beautiful green ceiling, lots of choices, terrific flavor in all dishes, cashier very friendly and helpful. We went on a Monday morning and the food came out within minutes. Suzette crepe was just heavenly, Mexican breakfast was very filling. Will definitely return !!!

The Odd Duck was where my friend and I grabbed dinner one night. Street parking. I didn't buy a lottery ticket but lucked out and found a spot across the street. Didn't have to do laps or pay. Always a good start when going out anywhere. Place was busy. No reservation. However, the luck continued as a table opened up in the bar area - window seating to boot. And though busy, service was attentive, friendly and great. Food was great! See pics. There wasn't a dish I didn't like and I can say that I'd definitely order the same line up again. Though I'd definitely like to try other menu items. It wasn't just about presentation - ingredients, flavors all just hit the spot. These are tapas size dishes so I could have eaten everything myself. Know that so you order accordingly. If you're looking for a cool, fun spot with good food and drinks, make a reservation and head over. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a spot I'd regularly hang out at.

I give it high marks for complex flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, awesome location (inside public market) and honestly one of the most polite servers I've come across in a while. I visited as part of Milwaukee's first-ever Wellness Week (January 2026) and went to pick up dinner to go for my husband and I. I ordered the cashew bowl which exceeded my expectations and my husband liked this chicken bacon wrap - he was surprised how big it was. If I still worked downtown this place would be one of my top lunch spots. A few things to know before you go: - They are cashless - they have an App for rewards / cash back with purchases - New seasonal flavors which means always something to look forward to in case you like to mix things up - they sell Wisconsin brewed Kombuchas by the can - chooose between wraps, salads, bowls - you can build your own bowl and get exactly what you want

As for the bowl itself, I was pretty impressed. I thought everything was seasoned well and it was a pretty decent portion although there could have been a little more chicken. The spot itself (having now been to the market) is cute and seems clean enough. Overall I'm a fan! Would definitely order again.
