    One of my fav go-to spots for vegan food and healthy cuisine. The loaded nachos with cashew cheese is one of my top items but I like their crepes. It's a consistent staff and they're all nice. It's a cute interior where you can have light conversation or do some work. Hidden gem.

    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.

    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!

    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.
    Lana S.

    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

    Classic Breakfast Crepe (*V, *GF)
    Sam K.

    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

    Mexican Breakfast Crepe with tofu scramble (top), and Classic Breakfast Crepe with tofu scramble (bottom)
    Meghan M.

    My boyfriend has a very unfortunate allergy for someone like me who LOVES brunch and custard - eggs! I took him to Beerline Cafe for his birthday and he was so excited he could try a crepe. He got the Mexican Breakfast with the tofu scramble and I got the classic breakfast, also with tofu scramble so he could try both. Your options are the tofu scramble or scrambled eggs with these crepes. I've never had tofu before, but I was surprised with how similar the texture, color, and taste was to scrambled eggs. The crepe threw me off a little bit in texture but if you've never been able to have one before, I imagine it's just fine. (I NEED to get the Crepe Ape with Nutella and peanut butter sometime soon - it looks amazing). My boyfriend really enjoyed his meal, so it's a good option if you're looking for a vegan menu or know someone who is. He had plain coffee and I got the Carrot-Orange Blend juice. So yummy! I've been told the cinnamon roll pancakes are delicious from someone who doesn't eat vegan, so we will be trying those the next time we go since they ARE vegan. We sat outside on their nice little patio, but the inside is charming as well. Give Beerline Cafe a try whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or an egg & meat lover like myself!

    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 !!!

    I have been wanting to go to Odd Duck for so long, and I finally got the chance and it did not…read moredisappoint! We had a wonderful experience dining here! Our server, Adam, was quick and attentive. He was funny, suggested items for us to try, and was very tentative of our friend's food allergy. We started the night with a few drinks; #39 non-alcoholic Paloma, #129 non-alcoholic sbagiato, and #33 Sherry Pear-Y. All of which were absolutely amazing! Then we ordered the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs (comes with two pieces), Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushrooms, Cappelletti, Slow-braised Bison Cheek, Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish), and the Wood-fired Bavette Steak. Where do I begin? First off, everything was fantastic! Delicious, creative, and memorable. Some dishes even had us ordering seconds! First the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs: so creamy! We ended up ordering another plate of them (four orders) because one wasn't enough for the four of us. The Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushroom: insanely seasoned! It was crispy and the kick of the Thai chili peppers, made it our tables favorite (we ordered another plate of this)! The bits of crunch rice mixed in was also a pleasant surprise. The bits of green beans and cucumber was a nice way to cool the kick of the spices. The Slow-braised Bison Cheek: It was very interesting. Very soft and when paired with the polenta cake, mozzarella, and carrot, it tasted amazing. Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish): Also very interesting. It tastes very similar to a Vietnamese catfish soup! The pineapple fish sauce paired amazing with the glass noodles. The only complaint I have about this dish, was that the glass noodles weren't fully cooked, so they were a bit hard. The Wood-fired Bavette Steak: My god, this was amazing! It was perfectly cooked, the dark chocolate bordelaise paired with the mushrooms and steak was incredible. Like I said, everything was amazing! Our table was blown away with the creativity and quality of the food. The service was amazing, everyone was very sweet and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely and quirky. It was fun spotting all the duck decorations. Honestly, cannot rave enough about this place, I look forward to the next time I visit!

I can tell that there has been a lot of care and detail put into the experience here and I can really appreciate that.

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.

They had a wide variety of gain bowls, salads and wraps to choose from and they all looked good. I ended up choosing the Asian BBQ grain bowl and a hibiscus tepache to drink. Let me start by saying, I did not realize how big the grain bowls were. They are big enough for either two people to share or for one very hungry person. I could not eat it all because the portion size we just huge. The bowl had so much flavor and a little kick of spice--just enough from the poblanos to make it a tad spicy but not so much your mouth was burning. The BBQ sauce melded with the grain well too and added a little bit of sweetness to the bowl. Overall, the bowl was great and I would definitely order another one or try some of their other options as well. The tepache tasted similar to kombucha if you have never had once. This was my first time trying it so that was the only thing I could relate it too. The hibiscus flavor was nice and light but overall I would just get a water next time--I just do not think I am a kombucha or tepache person.

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.

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
