The lunch menu has a huge variety of options, which made it tough to choose. I went with the BLT on sourdough, served with a pickle spear and thick-cut potato chips. It totally hit the spot. The bacon they use is fantastic. My friend ordered the Sriracha Melt (ham, pepperoni, mozzarella, jalapeños, and sriracha mayo grilled on white bread), which also came with chips and a pickle. Immediately devoured. The salads looked incredible....the table next to us ordered a couple and they looked absolutely divine. Next time for sure. The adjacent market is a must-browse too. It's packed with specialty products and rare finds that you don't see everywhere, making it easy to walk out with way more than you planned. Great food, great service, and a fun market to explore. Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near West Allis.

Had a great lunch at West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe!…read more We ordered The Cliff (turkey, bacon, pepper cheese, tomato, arugula, and avocado crema on ciabatta) and the breakfast sandwich special a Smoked Ham Bagel (jalapeño cheddar, ham, jalapeño cream cheese, hot honey, and fried egg). Both were fantastic! There was street parking available, and while we arrived at a peak time, we were able to find a table after a brief wait once we ordered. There was a covered patio seating area that was also being utilized. After lunch, we browsed the connected store, with a nice selection of cheese and sausage, of course, and lots of great local products. Friendly service, generous portions, and delicious food - we'll be back!

We were going to stop at another sandwich spot after we went to the West Allis farmers but saw it…read moreon the way and it sounded delicious. Just looking at the menu our mouth was watering. You walk in and it's the cutest sandwich shop as they have old metal lunch boxes hanging throughout and such a fun menu board on the wall. Not only do they sell sandwiches they sell peanut butter and different jams with fun flavors like guava, dandelion and more! I got the Strawberry Lovers on panini and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back again. They make all their jams and peanut butter and it was so fresh. Also I have to talk about how amazing the guest service was. We came in about 20 minutes prior to close and decided to get it to go because we didn't want to be those people. However, when they gave us our sandwiches they said it was fine to eat in and really no trouble at all. We still ended up taking it to go but I feel like most establishments wouldn't offer that. Overall this is amazing place and I can't wait to come back.

This traditional European-style Christmas market features over 60 vendors, including artisan crafts, handmade gifts, and Wisconsin specialty foods. There were so many unique items to browse, from ornaments and décor to homemade treats. The food and drink options were fantastic -- local food trucks like EZ Tiki, Flip's Mini Donuts, Tots on the Street, and Milwaukee Pretzel Company, plus local beer, made it easy to snack while walking. The weather was decent, which made strolling through the market enjoyable, though it was definitely busy with lots of holiday shoppers. Live music and festive decorations added to the cheerful atmosphere. Parking was convenient with several nearby lots, and the layout made it easy to explore despite the crowds. A fun, lively holiday event -- perfect for shopping, enjoying seasonal treats, and getting into the Christmas spirit!

If you are looking to spend less, but don't want to sacrifice quality check this space out. The produce is the best! The farmers are friendly and helpful.

Before you go, be sure you understand there is a policy that you must use a cart or small basket…read more Otherwise you'll be hunted down like we did other night after a long day at work. I have not been to the MM in a while, so I'm not sure when this was a new policy. I took a bag that I usually take to other grocery stores, because I am not going to bring a lot of things and try to save plastic. That being said, we were approached by an employee who, while respectful enough was still offputting to inform us that we could not put groceries in the bag as we shopped, but needed to have a cart or basket. I didn't see any signs to this effect in English or Spanish and so I was very confused, but of course obliged. Now I understand why the staff lady gave us a nasty look when we first came in, but we had no idea! Please make this policy more clear; for now going to return to friendlier ethnic stores.

As…read morea young whipper snapper before I became a foodie I had no experience of food culture in the world and ethnic food stores wasn't a common thing in my growing up. Anyone who follows me knows I'm a BBQ hound all over the country and I never do pulled pork because it doesn't interest me but Mexican carnitas on the other hand is something I have to always get. The store is pretty much the same as the 27 st location with the ice cream shop, meat, deli, produce, western union thing, hot table, dine in seating etc etc. The meat prices in the weekly ad seem very reasonable. The carnitas is my only reason to stop over and compared to other Mexican stores it isn't in a swimming pool of lard at this location and are on the dry side which I prefer over a pool of lard but I like them as they are. The hot table is way more than Mexican with a variety of items including pizza puffs etc etc. The cashier was friendly and greeted me with a good morning.

We were a group of seven and were able to find a couple of tables to pull together. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. They make excellent tea lattes. I usually go with a London Fog, and they do a very nice job with it, even adding some latte art. If I could make one suggestion, it would be offering a 16 oz option. They currently have 12 oz mugs, and sometimes I'm just looking for a little more. A tiny issue. Thanks!
