Heads up that the kitchen closes 1 hour before the restaurant closes. I met a friend at 1pm for lunch on a Saturday and after the cashier watched us deliberate over what to order, she told us the kitchen was closed. We could only order a drink and a pastry - which was lovely but if you want lunch don't show up at lunchtime. Get there early. read more

'Twas a rainy, summer Sunday afternoon when I popped into Casera to meet friends for brunch. They were very few patrons, so we had plenty of choices of where to sit-- at the bar, in the "livingroom," in a booth, or at one of the tables. I arrived a little bit early, so decided to quiet the rumbling in my tummy by partaking of a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. I don't need to eat gluten-free, but the cookie looked delicious, so I decided to give it a try. Am I glad I did! The cookie was wonderfully soft and chock full of mini chocolate chips. Unfortunately, like usual, I forgot to take a picture. What I did remember to take a picture of was the hoppel poppel.This German-Austrian dish was originally meant as a way to clear out one's pantry and refrigerator. Casera might not be cleaning out, but they ought to be cleaning up on this delectable menu item. Their version begins with the requisite potatoes and onions, but their meat selection, summer sausage, is not only very Wisconsin but very delicious. Cheese is also included, so since I'm not a huge cheese eater, I was pleased when the kitchen understood my request for a very light hand with it. The kitchen also understands how to make dry-scrambled eggs. I can't stop thinking about this dish and wondering when next I'll be able to enjoy it. I also ordered their black iced tea, which was strongly brewed (my personal preference over the pale stuff that too many places serve) and very refreshing. My brunch companion ordered the raspberry scone, and I was lucky enough to enjoy a bite. The scone was perfect--fluffy, wonderfully moist, and drizzled with just enough sweet icing. She also tried the special drink, which was a cherry cola coffee. This was not something she enjoyed. Unfortunately, she also struck out to a small degree on the Chilaquiles, which were, unfortunately, served with incredibly soggy tostada chips. read more

Aesthetic atmosphere on a rainy day- reminded me of the city of forks in twilight tbh. Great bakery items as always, I can vouch for the scones every-time, the chocolate chip is my favorite. Today I tried a new coffee today, the cherry cola cooler, I cannot say I recommend. It's made with housemade syrup, it really taste like as if you got a cherry coke, and a coffee and mixed it together. The coffee in general I'd say is not a sweet treat. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie, reminded me of their chocolate scone, it was soft, tasted great. The scone was so pretty and well balanced, loved that I got the last one in the showcase. The chilaquiles were a bit disappointing. Presentation was wonderful, and proportions were very good. But the tortillas were already all soft and soggy on arrival, in red sause. Chilequiles is really more of a building board, pick the way you want your eggs, pick the sauce (red or green) pick your protein. I was asked how I wanted my eggs, but not the other things. With my mind in a few directions it didn't come to me until it was already served. Normally I'd get green sauce and chicken for protein. At other restaurants there usually beans and rice but I didn't not expect that here, which it wasn't. The eggs were amazing, clearly amazing quality-the yolk a deep orange. My friend got the hoppei poppei, it seemed like it was really met to her liking-light cheese in the eggs, and the summer sausage and interesting but tasty addition for breakfast. The cafe closes at 2:00, but kitchen closes at 1:00. The hot menu items are brought out to you. Your name is called out for drinks. Bakery items are handed directly to you immediately after purchase at register. Bathroom is so pretty, perfect for a quick mirror picture. And exceptionally clean. The changing table isn't weirdly low! read more

I enjoy this place a lot, it is very well lit it's gives the place an inviting look. The decor is nice and it matches the theme they have going on. I like that the kitchen is open you can see how food is being handled. The menu seems to change up quite a bit but I've yet to try something that I haven't liked. read more

Been to Casera few times now and always have a great experience. The staff is always friendly and I like how bright and spacious the cafe is. It makes for a nice place to hang out/do some work- especially with the comfy seating. I have yet to try breakfast items, but I love their bakery. My go to drink is a vanilla cold brew- I absolutely love that they make their own syrups too. Definitely recommend trying out if you haven't! read more

I would like to say that the aesthetic of this place is amazing! So beautiful and cozy. I love how much sunlight seeps into the cafe. There is a long of seating throughout the cafe as well. I didn't order any food but got the matcha latte and my friend got the iced latte. The matcha was okay. Not the best I ever had or the worst I ever had. I'm not a big coffee person either but my friend said the iced latte was good. read more

Casera is one of those awesome coffee shops that has really good brunch options. I love that they use high quality ingredients and make their syrups in house too. I recommend trying their seasonal drinks out when they're on the menu. The space itself is great for a group or a family--they have plenty of seating options. I had the potato side for $2 and was impressed at how generous the portion was. The drinks are solid--the shots are pulled correctly and the foam is perfectly heated. Can't complain here about the consistency of the service either. I also recommend checking out their fridge for local goods you can take home. I buy my eggs here since they're from a local farm and reasonably priced for the quality. read more

How lovely is this place!!! My friend found this place for our group of seven to get breakfast one morning and I am so glad she did! Firstly, the cafe is so big!!! Very spacious with plenty of seating in different styles. There's also a little shop area where you can buy various items and souvenirs/postcards even. There are also large windows that allow so much natural sunlight to come in - it's truly very nice! The staff is also superb - very nice and patient with our large group. I got the papas bravas with over medium eggs and very much enjoyed it for breakfast. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, the eggs cooked well, and the sauces very yummy! I also got to try a pastry and the apple French toast my friends ordered. The French toast was to die for! Whenever I'm back in Milwaukee, I know I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Casera Cafe & Bakery - Papas Bravas - Bakeries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I've passed by here dozens of times, but this was my first time stopping in. It's conveniently located right on the corner of Becher Street. They have a parking lot with plenty of spaces. The entire southeast corner is made up of large, windowed garage doors, so you can get plenty of light and fresh air when everything is open. There are table outside. Inside their are tables, booths and upholstered chairs. Lots of spots for all size groups. I came on a Monday morning, and there were other tables with small groups. Some people looked like they were doing work, while others were just chilling out. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe to it. I was greeted by a cheerful barista, and she did a nice job explaining some of the menu items. I typically get a London Fog Tea Latte, but the description of their Manila Fog sounded interesting and tasty (Black Rishi Tea, Ube Syrup, and Coriander on top -- with extra foam for me). I also asked for a Matcha Scone, which they warmed up a bit. Both the Manila Fog and the Matcha Scone were excellent. You could definitely taste the Ube Syrup, though it was a bit too sweet for me (I would ask for half the amount next time). The scone had great flavor, but its texture was more muffin-like than scone-like. They also have other merchandise for sale from other local small businesses. This ranges from ice cream, honey, to technology products (i.e. instamatic cameras). A fun assortment for gift shopping? I'll definitely be coming back -- and will ask for a few tweaks on the food items, or maybe try a couple of different ones. read more

We stopped here not too long ago - and made it just in time to order brunch - they were just about to stop brunch service, but were kind enough to take our order which was super nice. The ambience is light, open, spacious - lots of room to spread out and options for larger groups, which was nice to see. Loved the vibe here. Everyone ordered something - whether it was food or coffee - and enjoyed it. If you're in this area of the city, stop by. The coffee shop is located at the end of a multi-story residential complex, but the parking lot has spaces reserved for the cafe. I would come by again. read more

We tried a brownie and their seasonal drink, which is a pumpkin cheesecake, cold brew. I also had a macchiato, which was the traditional kind, and not some giant sugar laid in monstrosity. Everyone was kind, and there's a little shop at the front. I would note that the hours listed on yelp do not seem to be the same as the hours that are in action at the location, so if you're coming from a great distance or near closing time, it may be wise to call. I thought this little note on my husband's drink was a nice extra touch. Also, the inside is beautifully done and spacious, and there is patio seating for nice days or if you have a dog with you! read more

Casera Cafe & Bakery - Pumpkin cheesecake cold brew! - Bakeries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I was pleasantly surprised by Casera Cafe! Going into it, I thought Casera would be another one of those ultra-modern, sleek coffee shops that charge an arm and a leg for incredibly average food and beverages. I was totally wrong! Casera might be on the pricier side, but the quality justifies the price tag. The Golden Milk was rich and earthy with a hint of spice. My dining companion went with the Two Eggs Your Way, which is pretty hard to mess up. It was a solid breakfast, and he said the Cold Brew was good, too. But the best thing I tried was the Morning Bun French Toast. It looks like they slice a Morning Bun crosswise and then soak it in custard and fry it like your typical French toast, but the result was to die for. The Morning Bun French Toast was tender but with a good bit of caramelization that added texture and depth of flavor. Casera was out of apple butter, which typically comes with the dish, so they subbed in peach butter instead and I must say they need to make peach butter the standard. The peach added a punch that brightened up the dish and balanced the richness of the French toast, all the while avoiding the holiday-y connotations that can come with apples and cinnamon. Service itself was great. The staff was so friendly and there were some regulars who came in shortly after us who were greeted by name. That's not something you see all too often anymore. The space itself was bright and clean and there were plenty of seating options to choose from. It's a kid-friendly space, too. Many families came in while we dined. I'd highly recommend Casera Cafe. With a pretty large menu and great pastry selection, you're sure to find something you love. read more

Overall a pretty good coffee shop. I wouldn't say it necessarily blew me away by any means, but the coffee I had was good.

This is one of my favorite places in Milwaukee for pastries. Located right on the river in between Walker's Point and Bayview it's a short drive from downtown, but well worth it. The service is always friendly and fast and they have a huge selection of coffee and free drinks. I love sitting at the bar and watching them bake through the window.

I had a good time here hanging out with my friend. It was very easy to order and we sat down with our numbers. They called us up for our drinks so we had to go get those but our food was brought out to us. My BLT came with chips so that was nice. I was also able to change the onion aioli to garlic aioli so I was very thankful for that. It was very tasty. However I'm always left with the feeling that BLTS should be like ten bucks. Nothing too special but still yummy. The day I came there was a flower pop up! It's so cool that they allow space for local businesses. My drink was a special and it was sooo good. The lemonade was refreshing with the perfect hint of mint and watermelon. I would get this again! read more

Casera Cafe & Bakery - Watermelon Mint Lemonade - Bakeries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Date of visit: December 29, 2024 Our monthly coffee date with some of our closest friends hit up the south side this month with a visit to the bright, shiny Casera Cafe and Bakery. Parking is plentiful, both on the street and in the adjoining lot and the cafe is quite spacious, so if you have a bit of a larger group gathering, this would be a nice potential option for you. I went with a Peppermint Mocha and the Morning Bun French Toast. The PM was quite good, if a bit expensive at $7 for the mug. Thankfully they have tureens available with a couple blends of standard coffee so I got a second cup of that to give me a bit more value in the drink. The French Toast was a bit disappointing, however. The menu states that it comes with "bourbon apple butter." Yeah, it didn't. Instead it came with maple syrup and some random diced apples on it. I didn't mind the apples, but was confused by the substitution and let down that it wasn't called out at the time of ordering as I might have gone a different direction if I had known this. Normally I would have brought this down to three stars for the fail on the main dish, but two things helped raise the score back up: The Brown Butter cookie (amazing, buy them all) and the friendliness of the staff. We hung out for three hours on a busy weekend morning and staff not only came by and took our dirty dishes, but never gave us the impression that they wanted us to vacate the table. read more

This was the new restaurant of the week and it's clean/hip and modern looking. Very spacious with a wrap around counter for the inner workings and seating all around it with a cozy lounge area in front. It's the no table service Culver's number system, order, take number put on to your table and your food is brought to you. Lots of great looking baked goods, coffees and hot food on the menu but the two eggs your way with choice of protein, potatoes, toast, fruit and eggs your way was my option. Here's where the train goes off the rails on a four star review and turns into a two star review. RESTAURANTS LISTEN UP BECAUSE YOU STILL DONT GET IT, SERVING COLD TOAST WITH COLD UNSPREADABLE BUTTER MAKES FOR CRAPPY TOAST NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE BREAD IS, TOAST WITH MELTED SATURATED BUTTER IS TOAST. WARM BUTTERED TOAST IS BREAKFAST. My breakfast looked good with skin on baby potatoes, nice looking sourdough toast, house made sausage patties and perfect over medium eggs. The sourdough toast it self was excellent but being cold with cold un spreadable butter ruined all the great bread. The mini skin on potatoes were cooked nicely. The medium cooked eggs were perfectly cooked with a nice orange yoke. The sausage was very tasty and house made, better than most restaurants. This place has potential because the house made sausage is excellent , great sourdough bread is very good but room temperature food no mater how good it is disappointing, warm buttered toast is quintessentially breakfast for me. read more

Woke up this morning and we decided we wanted to try something new--so we found Casera and decided to give it a try. Funny thing, I told my fiance, Alyssa, that she took me to a spot for breakfast with great matcha and had a modern and sleek interior a few months ago. We just never remembered the name of the place or what we ate. Well....THIS was the place! We laughed about it as we pulled up and parked. I saw their bakery items and to be honest, they all looked really good--especially their fresh baked breads. I opted for the croissant though as I am still trying to find the most suitable place for them after living off them in Paris. I also decided to get the hopple popple because the name was intriguing but also it said summer sausage was in them, so why not? Alyssa ended up getting the "two eggs your way"--over medium as always and it came with bacon, potatoes and two slices of sourdough. For drinks? Well, we had water because we made coffee before we left our house. I know...shame on us! Anyway, the breakfast meals were decent. Alyssa loved hers but I have to say--I am not too sure how anyone could mess up over easy eggs, potatoes and bacon. So unfortunately, I won't act like that is something to write home or this post about. The sourdough was really good though--I prefer more of a sour flavor but the bake and crust was perfect! The hopple popple was good but there was an abundance of salt in the potatoes, which I am not fond of. The eggs were cooked perfect and I loved the summer sausage that was in the breakfast. But here's the thing--summer sausage has salt already because it is preserved--add more salt to a dish just doesn't make sense to me. Now for the croissant's fate. Sadly, it lacked layers. I bit into it and it wasn't very buttery and the layers seemed to be missing. Not sure if this is always the case but I was deeply saddened that my Parisian croissant agenda was not satisfied today. It's okay, I'll try again and see if it was just the day. This is a great place to work though and get coffee/tea drinks. Obviously, there was nothing that stood out to us the last time we came to help us remember this place. However, I did remember their matcha--it was marvelous! The day we came and grabbed drinks I had brought my laptop and did some work here. It was rather peaceful and a lot of other people were working as well. I am going to guess their lunch is better, but like I said--I'll try again and see for sure. One thing though is that our breakfast was only $35 with the tip included, so I was happy about that! read more

We came here on a Saturday morning around 10am and there was a nice crowd but we were able to get a seat. This is a very spacious cafe and is extremely well lit. This would be a perfect study shop or just enjoying a nice coffee and pastry with friends. I love the back booths as the have a wall of old rolling pins. The staff is extremely attentive. The cashier gave recommendations when asked and they kept the dining room clean. Now the food and drink here I think was fantastic. I got an island matcha which had toasted coconut and fulfilled my matcha craving. I also got the morning bun which reminded me of monkey bread but not moist like one. It was super soft though and I would definitely come back to try more of their pastries. read more

Casera Cafe & Bakery - Morning bun - Bakeries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Casera is a nice addition to bayview. The layout is open with booths, long tables, small tables and a lounge area with a couch. They have pastries, bread, muffins and other baked goods along with a menu of prepared breakfast dishes and sandwiches. And of course it wouldn't be a cafe without coffee and tea. I had the chai latte and hoppel poppel and both were very good. My only critic is that I wasn't a fan of the summer sausage in the hoppel poppel. Not that it didn't taste good, it just didn't feel like it fit in with the dish. I'll let it slide though because the whole idea of hoppel poppel is that it's traditionally made with leftovers, so not everything is going to match perfectly. Service was good and quick. You order at the counter. Drinks get called out by the name given and you get a number stand to take back to your table where they will deliver the non bakery items directly to you. There is someone that walks around and busses empty dishes occasionally, but you also can clean up after yourself like a typical cafe. Overall great experience! read more

The vibes are 12/10, very bright yet calming ~ lofi on in the background. The breakfast food was *chefs kiss* , my husband loved the Papas Bravas. I got the simple two egg breakfast with potatoes and sourdough toast. The eggs were SO fluffy and creamy. For Drinks: I got a dirty chai, which was the perfect espresso to chai ratio. Not sweet at all, which I prefer. My husband got the island matcha {very out of character for him}, he loved it! Super beach vibes. Lastly, we got the "white loaf" for our gumbo we made tonight... RUN DON'T WALK to get yourself a loaf. The most fluffy, yet doughy inside of white bread I've ever had. They also have a bread program, where your 10th loaf is free . We have been here more times than I'd like to admit. It's the perfect hangout with kiddos. Their morning bun is the best I've tried in the city. Their BLT is to die for. I also get the cinnamon latte iced and it's delish, they make their own syrup for this drink! Side note, if you like fresh pork sausage this is the place!!!! The owner is SO nice. He helps with crew whenever he can, we see him there all the time. The baristas have been nothing short of sweet and accommodating. read more

GREAT Cafe option in Milwaukee! The cafe is beautiful and clean. There's lots of seating, including inside and outside options. The staff was very welcoming and nice. I noticed the staff constantly kept busy, talking to customers, organizing items, helping other coworkers, and even cleaning the lights. I ordered the Witches brew ( 8 dollars) and avocado toast ( 12 dollars). Anytime ube is an option I immediately purchase it. The witches' brew was an ube cold brew. The cold brew was delicious, I would order it again. The avocado toast was okay I would not purchase it again, it had goat cheese which I am not a fan of. I wanted to note there is a container at a separate counter where you can put your dishes. The other option is bringing your dishes to the counter where the staff is. There are designated places to put your dirty dishes instead of leaving them on the table for the staff to deal with! Overall I loved it and recommend Casera to others! It's a great option to grab a coffee, brunch, get work done, or even hang out with friends! read more

Love it! Great destination for breakfast. We rode our bike here to have breakfast on a lovely Summer morning and it was well worth it. They have a wide assortment of bakery and a nice breakfast entry menu with some very cool selections. I had the Papas Bravas and it was a huge portion of fresh red potatoes and eggs with white cheddar & garlic aioli.

The restaurant is cute and cozy. You order at the counter and are given a number to take back to your table. The cashier was very pleasant. I ordered a grilled cheese and cup of tomato soup. The cheese on the sandwich was grilled prior to being put in the bread which I guess is to carmelize it, not sure. The sandwich wasn't anything special and was dry. The tomato soup was really a vegetable soup and was ok. The staff was friendly and it was a cute place to go but I felt for the cost of the grilled cheese $10.00 for nothing special was a bit much. Probably a one and done place for me. read more

Casera Cafe & Bakery - Pretty morning light - Bakeries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

- Meh food, great ambiance, ok service - No reservation made or can be made - Would not come back This place has been saved and on our list since it had opened, but was such a let down. It looks great with the large open space, clean interior, and beautiful decor, but aside from that, plain food and plain drinks. We had walked in and up to the counter and were completely ignored by the girl at the counter until another worker had appeared and apologized while their register was refreshing. Looking past the greeting, the bussers were great at taking away plates and bringing out food. For my food, I had gotten the Thick Cut BLTA that came with a bag of chips. The flavor of everything was good with the spreads and bacon and bitterness from the arugula, but the bread was weirdly crumbly. I have only ever had 1 other sandwich with this texture and I still don't understand how it is even possible to achieve that texture... my guess is overheating it up on a pan without anything like butter or whatever to help protect(?) the bread, idk. My lovely lady got the Avocado Toast for her brunch that morning. The bread on this one was a lot better as it held together, but was not very toasted or crunchy, making it a little hard to cut. The 2 runny eggs were good on the toast and the avocado was good, but overall the meal lacked salt and pepper and overall flavor. The bacon jam added flavor, but the sweetness wasn't really needed and I think some more saltiness would have been a better choice. The radish added good crunch, but again, it was just a crunchy slice of radish that wasn't pickled or anything. The toast also came with a side salad(?) but on the menu, it is advertised as if the tomatoes are on the toast which I think is a weird descriptor. The salad was not even mentioned on the menu, so it was a surprise when it was served, but still a good addition. I think this meal would have been better with more salt and adding in some greens to the toast itself - the side salad almost seems redundant seeing as though there are plenty of greens on the toast itself. For our drinks, I had gotten the Island Matcha, which had some nice coconut and strawberry flavors. Those flavors themselves were mild, but the matcha was even more mild, like they had only put in a baby scoop of matcha for color. It says hot on the menu, but I was offered an iced option which was nice. M'lady had gotten the Hot Chocolate and it was quite bland and flavorless. It was topped with some foam, but after mixing, and drinking past it, the cocoa itself was basically that same grayish color. I don't think if I was blindfolded I would have guessed I was drinking hot chocolate, so I am not sure what was up with that. Spending ~$43, I was really disappointed with the flavors of everything we had gotten and the service on our visit. The display and visuals of everything was great, sadly there is more to a cafe than that. I think it would be great to see more salt being used and maybe their other menu items and outsourced bakery goods are good, but at these prices and what we were served, I can't say I am planning a visit any time soon. read more
