    Yes yes yes, please! I believe this place had its grand opening earlier this month and I am so happy we have a dessert place like this now! There are about 3 small tables and a bar counter for seating. Not the best for large groups, but I saw a group make-do of one of the tables. I love the way they decorated this place. It's very minimal, cute, and bright. They serve poke bowls, drinks (bubble tea, smoothies, brewed teas), and..... croffles!! I came for croffles because, well, who wouldn't? They had lots to choose from but I opted for the brown cheese and vanilla ice cream because of how ~different~ it sounded. So good! The croffle itself was crispy, soft, and flaky. The brown cheese and vanilla ice cream is a great pick for anyone who likes the sweet/salty combo. The brown cheese reminds me of like a salted yolk flavor and worked really well with the vanilla ice cream. Everyone was so helpful and attentive. I definitely will be back to try their thai tea cake!

    I got a small spicy tuna poke bowl that came with a whole bunch of goodies in it. All the different textures and flavors made it extremely satisfying and delicious. The strawberry croffle was so yummy and not too overly sweet. And the honeydew boba drink was very tasty! The service was a bit slow but they're a smaller business and there were a decent amount of customers so I completely understand why the wait was so long. There were about 3-4 small tables and some stools by the window so the place was comfortable but can feel "full" pretty quickly. Overall a great place to grab a quick bite - I'll definitely be back!

    Always has fresh boba and the bubble teas are flavorful! My favorites are taro, jasmine, brown sugar, and rose!

    First, a tip: let the staff know when it's your first visit, and they'll gift you a yummy cruller!…read more To be honest, the thing I've purchased here over and over again is the chocolate frosted dipped old fashioned chocolate donut because it's heaven on earth and I need nothing else. It's perfect for breakfast, it's perfect for dessert, it's perfect as a midnight snack. I once purchased a bag of chocolate dipped crullers that were really fresh and quite delicious, but it's that donut that keeps me going back. Staff can be slow at times. No one ever seems to be in a hurry to serve, but they are friendly.

    I was looking forward to trying Grebe's knowing its reputation as one of the best (if not THE best)…read morein Milwaukee. I was excited about their hot ham & rolls; and they are excellent. They also offer a great variety in rolls and potato salad. On my first visit, I also got a couple of condiments from Boar's Head that I've never seen at the store, and they are very good. My husband tried the crawlers and he quickly became a fan. On my second visit, I placed an order online in advance, and also called to confirm my order but when I got there they didn't have my order, and they didn't know about me order either. Fortunately I was there early so they could fulfill the order very quickly. Overall, the service is OK. The store is clean and organized. Tip: Get there early, or you will be waiting in line that goes all the way out to the parking lot...even in winter!

    Caramel Tres Leches Cake: Ethiopia is where wild coffee plants originated on our planet, but Yemen…read moreis where coffee was first harvested, roasted, and brewed back in the 15th century. Coffee is now ubiquitous with daily life in America, which brings me to Qamaria Coffee. Hatem and Munif are two Yemeni entrepreneurs with a passion for Yemeni Coffee and the joint goal of wanting to share it with the world. They founded Qamaria Coffee in 2019 to accomplish this task and in January 2024, they opened a location near Milwaukee in Greenfield, WI. Qamaria offers a variety of dessert options, including a Chocolate Tres Leches, Pistachio Tres Leches, and Caramel Tres Leches cakes. I went with the caramel version, which is described by the cafe as "A decadent caramel treat inspired by tres leches cake, creamy, sweet, and irresistibly smooth". If you've never had Tres Leches Cake, it's a light sponge cake soaked in three types of milk (evaporated, condensed, and whole) that's popular in Latin America. The cake originated in Nicaragua during the 19th century, so on first glance it's not exactly a Yemeni dessert. Doing some research, Middle Eastern variations exist that feature cardamom or rose water and some Qamaria locations do have a Rose Tres Leches. It's fine that the Greenfield location did not have that variety as I honestly would have got the caramel version anyway. My slice was perfectly moist as there was plenty of milk soaked in, but not so much that it made a mess or compromised the structure of the cake. The bottom layer was soft and Tiramisu-like in texture, while the cream on top was rich and thick. Personally, I found the caramel flavor to be mild, but delicious. As it is served chilled, it paired nicely with a hot cup of coffee (which they have a plethora of options to choose from). Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews
