I went to comet for the first time tonight and absolutely LOVED it. The food was amazing, the bloody was delicious and the service was wonderful. We had a nice, polite, red headed waitress. The drinks and food came out quick. I was completely satisfied with my visit. I highly recommend this place to anybody. They also have such wonderful vegan options. I will be back without a doubt. Great job guys!!! read more

I have only been here 2 times, but it was the best Vegan food I had ever had. Definitely recommend the Vegan Ribs!

We got seated fairly quickly, but we waited FOREVER for our food. The food was very good, the staff was courteous, but it simply was not worth the wait. I probably won't be going back. read more

Love their food in general, but that whole toast thing... I'm sure it's good bread, but all of their sides just doesn't seem like enough food for the price you pay. read more

I just love this place. There is always a wait, but it is ALWAYS worth it. The food is so delicious, the waiters are so hipster, the drinks are boozy and wonderful. the only thing that I haven't been impressed with was desserts, maybe because the food is always so good and filling but the cupcakes seem a bit lackluster, but this small detail will never stop me from loooooving the place. read more

Drove to Comet Cafe looking forwards to the veggie burger voted number two in the country by veg times. Much to my disappointment they were out of it as a matter If fact they were out of vegetarian option. So I had the ahi tuna burger which made me terribly sick on the way home. The waiter was pleasant but I found it interesting had no knowledge of the fact They had a number two ranked veggie burger. Said he had heard that from some customers but didn't know of it. Geez..... Colossal disappointment and waste of 47$ read more

Had lunch here and was serenaded by No Doubt the entire time. That in itself would have excuse poor service or mediocre fare, but both of those were excellent. It's grungy, but not in the dirty, appetite-spoiling sense. I mean "grungy" in that it feels sort of industrial, kind of the way I think Milwaukee is in general. So, you could say that Comet captured the essence of the city and serves it up alongside a delicious bowl of mac & cheese, and a very agreeable music selection. I spent two days in Milwaukee, and ate at probably six or seven different establishments. This was my favorite. The only reason I withheld a star is because the cheesy potato dish was slightly more onion-y than I would have liked, but that's subjective. You may love it, as I did everything else. Bottom line: this place has coffee, beer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. I recommend it wholeheartedly. read more

With a bit of a classic diner feel to it, you don't necessarily expect an amazing vegan menu when you first step into Comet. When a friend tells you about Comet being a great vegan restaurant, you might not expect them to do meat-atarian dishes all that well. But the food here is excellent across the board. All my vegetarian and/or tofu-loving friends are impressed with the food, and I've sampled multiple meat dishes that have been absolutely delicious. Their tea, beer, and cocktail menu is also excellent, although I can't personally vouch for more than a couple of the drinks. They also have both vegan and regular cupcakes and pies every day, which is pretty damn awesome. If you're trying to get in on a weekend or during a traditional lunch hour, you may want to reserve a table ahead of time, as it can get pretty packed. Even when I went there on a weekday for an early lunch, there were a respectable number of customers in the restaurant. read more

Good golly I'm salivating just thinking about the deliciousness that is Comet! I highly suggest enjoying a bloody mary with pretty much whatever you order! I had the ahi tuna sandwich last time I visited and it was excellent. You can't go wrong with anything you're in the mood for. read more

The dishes came out quick and were awesome! I had three people in the group and we all ordered different entrees. All said they were one of the best meals they had out in awhile. Great variety of dishes, great beer selection, and definitely will go back!!! read more

Dairy Allergy Friendly. Great coffee, fun atmosphere, and breakfast was delicious. Having a dairy allergy I struggle to find a breakfast location I can enjoy. Our waiter was knowledgable and very understanding. He was able to put my concerns at ease with his confidence in the menu. My husband and I were able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast together. I was also able to have "milk", soy milk with my coffee. The Comet is worth going to and coming back for. read more

After my second visit here, I had to write a review because the meal I had was insanely delicious. The mac and cheese is literally the best I have ever had. It had the perfect consistency and richness and the extra bacon I threw in there took it to another level. The only reason I gave my review four stars is because of the slowness of the service. The waiter, although very friendly and helpful, did not come back to take our order for at least 15 minutes after initially greeting us. The food also took a long time to arrive. However, he was pretty good about making sure we were doing well and he even noticed the table was wobbly so he got on his knees and adjusted it for us, which I really appreciated. We weren't in a terrible rush, so we didn't mind the wait, but if we had been super hungry, the slow service would have been more annoying. But I must reiterate that the mac and cheese was DIVINE. The chicken sandwich my boyfriend got was not very impressive, but everyone else we dined with had very delicious meals. read more

Comet Cafe - The most incredible mac & cheese I have ever had. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Fantastic! The pancakes are heavenly! Fresh and hot homemade maple syrup. We ordered the Rocket Platter. Hash browns were so tasty, eggs cooked perfectly and the back was nice and thick. The cappuccino was a huge surprise. Smooth, hot and creamy. Hazlenut cappuccino is a plus. Awesome service with lots of smiles. We were first timers and will definitely be back very soon! read more

..... Haven't been here in about 8 months , the 3 of us ordered - Meatloaf - Mac n cheese - and a special Turkey avocado sandwich - fries -- well , none of it had any flavor : ( really ? Even meatloaf n Mac n cheese ?? These are simple staples of easy to prepare , easy to make great tasting ! ... But no ... No flavor ---- too bad I'll stop praising the place . read more

let me start with the cons: service is not good. been there quite a few times, and every time, I feel like an afterthought. I know the place is kind of like a glorified diner, but still. also: their menu leaves a bit to be desired. their salad options are as boring as can be imagined. the pros: the best macaroni & cheese I have ever had. any time I see macaroni & cheese on a menu, I order it--no matter what its incarnation may be. even some of the best m&c I've had still needs some salt, or some pepper, and usually some sriracha. this needs nothing, and is best as is. it's amazing. my friend could barely stop eating off my plate. so, there's that. comet is a classic hipster haven (take from that what you will), and is at a pretty good location. worth a try, if you've never been, but just be sure to order the mac & cheese :) read more

Comet Cafe is absolutely delicious. Probably serving up the best vegetarian/vegan food in Wisconsin. Lots of options and very good portions! I highly recommend the beer cheese fries. The beer cheese is absolutely delicious and is a taste of Wisconsin in one little dish. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Get the Whittaker beer with your meal! My favorites are the compact turkey dinner or the bacon wrapped meatloaf. Truly a gem of a places stiles you have to wait a long time for a table but it is with every second. I never leave here unsatisfied. read more

If you like hipsters, food, and a cool atmosphere this is the place. Most of the menu items are home-cooked types of things, which to me translates into a menu of things I can't really find anywhere else. The staff are all laid back but hard working, and the cooks haven't done me wrong yet. The only, ONLY thing I don't care for in this place is their Bloody Mary's. I'm a big brunch guy and something in their mix just doesn't do it for me, but the food is worth every penny. read more

Comet cafe is a very cute restaurant. I really love this place because they have options for both vegetarians and vegans. I've been here a few times and I have always had amazing food. It's always hot and presentable. One things that stops my review from being a 5 star is that the staff are not the most engaging. They just take your order and that's it. They aren't rude, but I wouldn't call them extremely nice either. They are just meh. I like when the staff is friendly and engaging, but to others they might want a staff that is in and out with their order. read more

Food is pretty good. Nothing mind-blowing. Nice variety of vegan selections.

This place is always good. Food is great, drinks are great and the specials are pretty on awesome. The only thing that is a drag sometimes is that table service can be a little slow at times. I understand and I never get mad, but I do usually just accept that table service is probably going to be a little slower before I even get there. But the servers are fun and great. Always have been in a good mood for me. Helpful and answer any questions I have. read more

It PAINS me to give anything lower than a 5, but alas, this once vegan hotspots is turning into a dud. No more vegan riblets and no more vegan meatloaf. Those were the best items, and now they are no more. Every other vegan option is rather plain and unimaginative. Not sure why they got rid of it, but I won't be back with what they are serving now. This used to be my go-to spot, but now it is not as vegan friendly for dinner. They have sandwiches, but again, one could easily make those at home as they are basic as heck. The other options are hummus and random soups. Boring! They need new menu items ASAP to revive it dying vegan flair. Otherwise, they just alienated a large group of patrons. read more

Love this place. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they have a great selection of entrees and desserts. As a vegan, my favorite dish is their amazing vegan salisbury steak. They also have an extensive variety of cupcake flavors to choose from. Staff is attentive and helpful and the food always comes quickly. I recommend coming here whenever you're in Milwaukee. read more

I have been to the Comet twice now in the past couple months and I am not sure I see the big love affair everyone seems to have with this restaurant. The first time I wasn't greatly impressed but thought maybe it was an off night. Tonight's visit made it clear it wasn't. Both times I had the Harvest Chicken salad and it's a nicely serviceable salad with fresh greens. This time I got a huge nugget of the sugared walnuts in it--like meteorite huge, which was probably not the best representation of what it could be. My mom got the Leghorn and she was not thrilled. (This was her first time there.) The toast was burnt. The chicken was "leftover" according to her. She agreed the salad was fresh but the 1000 Island dressing served on the side was watery. She ended up dissecting the sandwich to eat the pieces separately. Not a great thing. Our server was polite, attentive and efficient. We were served on a timely basis. The place is a little loud inside but we got used to it. They do have seating outside if you prefer watching cars jockey for position on Farwell. read more

Comet cafe is off my list. Couldn't understand why there was no line waiting outside the door like there used to be. Found out why inside. The hostess took our name and said they were wiping off some tables and it would be 5 to 10 min. We were standing 10 feet away from a wide open table already set up for four people. We watched the hostess look high and low for any other place she could put us and kept walking around and around but nothing and she would not put a twosome at that table. Another twosome came in and she told them the same and kept looking. Low and behold four young girls walked in and immediately got seated while the rest of us waited. Obviously she was waiting for them even though they don't take reservations. The food might be the best in town, I'm not going to be insulted like that. Far to many other restaurants in town to try. read more

Delicious food. Went with my mom and sister, and we enjoyed a veggie-friendly meal which was made more enjoyable because of the long wait. By the time we got our food we were starving! Nice for when you're aiming to spend a lot of time with someone special. read more

I thought I would give this place a second shot since they have a much-hyped new menu with additional vegan options. I should have given Comet more stars last time because my experience Thursday was a nightmare. I had the new black bean dip and it was one of the most flavorless, grainy things I've had in my life. I had one of the worst old fashioned's ever prepared--at least it was better than Buffalo Wild Wings--and I considered ordering a glass of wine, but I realized it was a place that doesn't curate any of its alcohol and just orders a bottle of whatever is the cheapest from the vendor. Worse was that me and the girl I was out on a date with received homophobic treatment from the waitstaff and bartender. I would have loved to have complained to the manager, but I just wanted to get out of there. Maybe if I can find a way to contact them I can discuss it. read more

Great fast service. Excellent open faced meatloaf sandwich. Eclectic atmosphere. In college area. Sweet cupcakes.

Great creative food. The menu hasn't changed much over time, but everything I have ordered was excellent.

I've been coming to Comet long before their new rehab. This place is a wonderful pit stop whether you want just a hot cup of joe or a meal in itself. It is a "hip" cafe but it is not a "hipster-joint". I'm often towing my eighteen month daughter along with me and the servers are more than friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a comfy, cozy place to just relax and get a great meal!! read more

Good food and good service. Food was better than the beer selection, very little for Wisconsin beers, on tap or in a bottle. The fish and chips were delicious, and the burger looked great too. Low key, totally affordable. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal with beer that won't break the bank. read more

Fantastic brunch, one of the best I've had. I had the Comet Benedict, and it was just delicious. Totally worth it. Prices are fair for what your receive, and service is good. read more

I like the changing menu and the vegan friendly options. Yummy seasoned fries! I like sitting on the diner side best, but I've enjoyed the outside seating and the bar side. 3 out of 4 times we've had great service, the other time it was really busy (Friday night) Comet is unique and has great drink selections. Definitely visit this and the other places owned by these people! read more

Have gotten sick from food here a few times now. The service used to be better, now it is just so-so. If you have vegan options, maybe give them different names than their non-vegan counter parts. Nothing is a bigger turn off than ordering a vegan burger and receiving meat....gross. read more

Oh Comet...my love...I just can't resist you! Something light? Hummus please...some comfort? Don't mind if I do have the meatloaf... Always a delight! read more

Had no problem parking right on the street, easily got a table for 6(if you can believe that). Friendly polite servers. Standard assortment of other diners hipsters to familys but casual. The Meatloaf with beer gravy was awesome, great taste and left me wanting more... read more

This place was awesome all across the board !! My friend and I road tripped to Wisco for the day and came here on a recommendation from a co- worker of mine and really glad we did! It was so fun that we came here twice once for bloody's and brunch and once for boozy coffee and cupcakes! The beer selection was awesome, music was good, the bar staff was friendly and fun! Thanks to Andy for playing our most hated celebrities game with us because he made our time especially fun. The entire staff there was great though and next time I'm there it will most definitely be on my agenda for lunch and maybe dessert again too! Had a great time ! read more

Comet Cafe is a Milwaukee native staple and so if your visiting from out of town it's a local place that's definitely worth stopping by for. The one complaint I have is that service is incredibly slow...not bad...just slow. If you go in expecting to be there for a while you will have an enjoyable experience and it's certainly not a bad atmosphere in which to kill a Sunday afternoon. Who can say no to free bacon? (On Sundays). Menu is decent, beer selection is usually pretty good. People are nice. read more

I am from out of town and looking for a good place to et a feel of the local vibe. Comet Cafe was awesome! Coming from a place with great local beers, I was very excited about all of the oh i dont know like 100 beers that they had available. I would definitely recommend this place to ANYONE local or not :) read more
