    I had the biscuits & gravy with two eggs over easy on top. The food was good, but the service was lacking. My drink was empty for a very long time before the server got off her phone and walked around the restaurant to check on the customers. Diner style restaurant that was run down and could definitely use a refresh. I would definitely give them another shot if I am in the area.

    Nice little spot -- such a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The service was excellent -- attentive without being overbearing and everyone was genuinely friendly. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, definitely better than we expected for such a small place. And the drinks? Even better! Perfectly mixed, refreshing, and served with care. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

    Veggie omelet no green peppers

    The service was quite friendly and efficient, the food was delish and plentiful, the ambience was that of a nightclub during day time hours which has its charms, and the firemen sitting at a table nearby were hunky. They even took the fiendish green peppers out of my omelet. So- yeah basically heaven.

    This restaurant was easy to find, prominently located on Wisconsin Ave, close to a range of stores and hotels. I went on a Wednesday morning and was quickly seated. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. I ordered two eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese and onions, pancakes and fresh fruit. The order was done pretty quickly and the food was good. Similar to a diner, a step above what you might cook yourself at home. My only disappointment was the $7 freshly squeezed orange juice that was bitter and not worth it. Prices aside from the juice were reasonable. My meal was $27.

    downloaded yelp JUST to leave a review for this place - it was SO good I couldn't not! The food was literally amazing, best BLT, fries, and cheese curds I've ever had :) the food also came out incredibly fast and hot! Our server, Lee, was so fast, attentive, and sweet :) the vibe of the place was really really nice, it was super clean and cutely decorated!

    They were confused but gave me the discount.

    I stood for a while at the host station. Then I was told to seat myself. Only 3 customers but servers were kind but no efficient. The price was high for a average plate. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. I appreciated that there was more than just pork available.

    Burger & Fries

    It's just as the name says, "Build a Burger" is what I did & it was good (since I did pick the ingredients to assemble it). The egg was a little too big; you can't even see the patty, so I might not get an egg next time. As for the fries, they were golden & nicely made.

    This was our last stop in Milwaukee before heading back home to the Chi. We dine in for breakfast before hitting the road back home. Nice clean and spacious place. We ordered the traditional breakfast eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and pancakes. The coffee wasn't that good. But the food was freshly cooked and well-seasoned. I recommended this place. The service was nice, and the wait wasn't long. Nice, cute spot to enjoy some good homemade food.

    Karma is one of my go to stops for a refreshing breakfast including some fresh fruits and protein!…read moreThis café smoothie bar is quaint (heads up they don't have a ton of seating inside) but such a cute spot to sit and enjoy your meal. 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!

    Unfortunately only three stars for this place, although the food hall it is in is very cool…read more I had just had lunch at the Food Hall and was craving something sweet and saw they had boba drinks. They're a bit pricey, $7, but that does include the actual boba. I got the brown sugar milk tea and the taste was not great, it has oat milk in it supposedly so maybe that's why but I've had a lot of bubble tea in my life and this was just so-so, unfortunately. I'm still drinking it (as you can tell in the photo I posted, it's half gone) because it has black tea in it as well and I could use some caffeine today. The boba itself is okay though, I saw another review on here criticizing it. I can't speak to their smoothies or bowls but I probably wouldn't order boba from here again.

    I have been looking for a good Acai bowl spot in Milwaukee since I discovered them about 10 years…read moreago. I have found some local spots, but the Acai was soupy. Make Waves offers their bowls with firm Acai that is cold and stays that way long enough for you to finish. I also appreciate that the granola is layered - many other spots just put it on top and before you're halfway through, you're already out of the added toppings/ingredients. They do offer smoothies and boba too, but since they're a vendor in 3rd St Market Hall, I take my bowl to the bar and order a cocktail to go with it. Make Waves is the current vendor in the food hall that I frequently return to.
