    Great coffeehouse with excellent coffee and a great menu. There is something for every taste.

    Tried this place a few weeks ago on DoorDash for a lazy start to the day. The food arrived hot and was delicious. Decided to check them out in person the following week. The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious. The breakfast burrito was more pressed like a panini this time around. When we ordered to go, it looked more burrito. Both versions were good, just a bit surprised with the pressed one. The inside very gives coffee shop vibes. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. There were a number of to go orders being picked up while we there. Would definitely order to go or visit again.

    My dr's office is nearby and after fasting for some labs I was ready for a frozen latte! First time here, very cute in here and their menu is quite extensive for such a small cafe. The staff are quick and friendly. It was nice to see a few people inside on a Thursday, choosing local over chain! My frozen latte is delicious and exactly what I needed. I'll be coming back after my next appt for sure!

    Cute vibe, great coffee. That's what we went in for. The menu does seem a little overwhelming when you walk in. I was glad there weren't anyone else in line, cuz I had to take some time to look through. There weren't any sugar free options so I just had their coffee - medium/bold roast. I had asked what roaster the coffee is from, but it wasn't a familiar brand. Whatever it was, it was good! Friend had the lavender oat latte. She took half of their regular dose of syrup, and says it was just perfect. She's not a huge sweet drink person, but says this was a perfect pick me up at 3pm. It wasn't very busy on a weekday afternoon, but we saw a couple who looked like regulars having lunch... and the lunch looked so good. Planning on a return visit for their food! Oh yea, and there's a nice, big parking lot in the back!

    Cutely decorated independent coffee shop in the City of Cudahy- serving up all your bar drinks, Matcha lattes, coffee and a large variety of food since August 2020. Charleston has plenty of indoor seating, and lots of locals were hanging out, which is really nice. Apparently this place used to be a hotel in the 1920s, and has that boarding house look, and is decorated with warm tones and copper touches, include a floor made of pennies. I decided to catch up on some reading and ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee "for here". I would love to see coffee mugs for here instead of To-go cups to reduce paper waste, as well as having half n half carafes instead of those plastic cup half n halfs. Put out a water station for customers. Small tweaks which are fairly standard at indie coffee shops. Plenty of breakfast sandwiches and omelettes on the morning menu, and sandwiches and fresh pizzas. Their outdoor patio is huge! The owners have really made a committment and it shows.

    This is the absolute cutest cafe ever, it has quickly become a go-to spot for me to meet my coworkers and boss for daytime/morning coffee meetings. They have a large selection of hot/cold coffee drinks and will gladly customize your drink (I usually get almond milk and add a espresso shot to everything lol). They also have a good selection of food! I've only ever gotten a muffin (to easily snack on during work chats) but everything else I've seen come out looks amazing! I also just realized they are open late night and serve beer/wine/pizza/etc. I am definitely planning to come on a nice night and enjoy some wine & pizza on the patio with the fire pit!! 10/10 would recommend this place

    Coffee!

    In addition to tons of coffee options, they have a ton of food options as well! Really neat spot that so far has served up great eats and the oat milk latte with toffee nut syrup is dope! I typically get the sausage egg and cheese croissant but if you're vegan, they have a ton of options for you as well! The floor is also very cool as it's epoxy over pennies. The decor in general is really nice and so is the staff. Tons of items to choose from at a decent prices and it's a local small business so.... Support them!

    On the plus side it's a cute place in a great location (no other independent coffee shops anywhere near), easy street parking in front, and staffed by enthusiastic, youthful workers. On the negative but improving side, they aren't into being environmentally responsible. The first time I came in, I explained to the cheerful young lady (I'm not into cheerful young ladies by the way, I came here for coffee) that I wanted to have an espresso here and (pointing to the stack of espresso cups and saucers) I would like to have it served in one of those ceramic espresso cups. She agreed with excessive exuberance but didn't tell the young man who actually fixed my espresso and served it at my table in a disposable paper cup with a non recyclable plastic top and little plastic stirrer. I asked him if next time I could get it in a ceramic cup, and explained I was trying to minimize garbage waste. He hadn't heard of anything like this, explained they have to serve in disposable cups because of COVID and I pointed out that no one was masked, there was no distancing, and in fact he was standing less than two feet from me. I asked if next time he could check with his boss, just to see if maybe an exception could be made for me. He agreed to. He uses lots of extra nonsense words like adding "today," and "at all" and "today at all" to ever sentence. Oh people murder the American English language with such aplomb and veracity. Alas. So the next time I came in, I begged to have my espresso in a proper espresso cup, and the same young man served it to me in the espresso cup, but not the saucer (that was up there, I saw them). So I feel like I'm making progress. The coffee is good, the pastries are too. I like the ambiance enough I am going to keep coming back until I get these youths trained right.

    Not going to lie this may be one of my favorite hole in the wall coffee shops in Milwaukee! Here are the main reasons why I believe this and why you should check out Charleston Cafe: 1. Many unique coffee options 2. They have wide array of options to customize your drink 3. For a small space there is plenty of seating and outlets 4. Plenty of food options for both breakfast and lunch 5. It's a relatively quiet café So if any of the 5 points I mentioned above are what you are looking for then I highly recommend checking out Charleston Cafe!

    Cute little cafe with great coffee and food! Breakfast, wraps, paninis and all sorts of coffee! Takes a little time to get your food but it's work it.

    First time there, I was coming from California. I got a sandwich and coffee and the girls there were rude. Not even a thank you!

    Casual spot for a quick coffee or bite in Cudahy! Service is efficient, light seating, not too many frills.

Quiche was nice as well, but I felt a little skimpy on the add ins. Nice flavor though. My parents got coffee and said it was a touch on the bitter side. Cute spot, dog friendly, nice staff!

    Milwaukee Mud Pie: Honeypie Cafe opened in 2009 in the Bayview neighborhood on the south side of…read moreMilwaukee. They serve Midwestern-inspired food using homegrown WI ingredients. Their daily menu includes an all-day breakfast (something all restaurants should do) as well as an exclusive weekend brunch menu. In 2018, SmallPie opened a short 1.5 miles from its parent location. All of both location's pies are made individually by hand with Wisconsin butter, milk, eggs, oats, cream and (when available) Wisconsin and Midwest grown fruits. For my first visit I had to try their "all-time customer favorite", Milwaukee Mud Pie. It's a chocolate shortbread crust filled with a baked fudge layer, a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (off-brand OREOs), and a layer of chocolate cream filling. Topped with freshly whipped cream and more crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. I really wanted to like this and I'm not trying to dump on them, but I honestly prefer the frozen pies from Marie Callender or Edwards. Something about it just makes it fall flat for me. Possibly it's not sweet enough, but overly rich from the whipped cream. Personally, I prefer something more like Cool Whip as opposed to actual dairy cream. On the plus side, the chocolate short bread crust and brownie-like fudge layer had an excellent texture. It would have been nice having another pie to judge them with, but slices of both versions of their banana cream pie were unavailable. For me, this is an avoid as it's no way worth the calories with tastier (and cheaper pies out there). *This is was a 2 star pie, but I don't want to hurt a business based on my personal tastes so 3 (average) stars for effort.
