I attended one of the autumn wine, cheese, and chocolate tastings and thought the place was…read moreawesome. Up at the counter there were SEVERAL delicious truffles to choose from that I think will fit anyone's palette and preference. And the class itself was so fun and yummy. It's a small atmosphere and it creates an intimate experience. The owner was knowledgeable about each and every part of the tasting and what we were sampled (which is cool for a noob like me) and I loved the experience. 10/10 would go again.

Foltz's offers a wide variety of foods, but what drew my attention was the wood fired pizza! From wide selection of choices, I landed on the Philly. I am normally not a fan of white Alfredo sauced pizzas, but I am glad I went with this choice. The toppings were fresh and delicious, with a little crisp left in the onions and green peppers which made this pizza standout. Crust was the perfect balance of crisp and chew, the only criticism I had was the bottom Could've used 30 seconds longer - other than that fantastic pizza! Well executed pizza, if you are in the neighborhood - check it out!

This is coming from me in full tourist mode, and I hope I don't sound ignorant, but when I think of…read moreWisconsin one of the first things I can think of is cheese. And of course I saw this place and knew I had to check it out. The location is what feels like the downtown Milwaukee area. The folks here are very friendly and very, very helpful. They have a good variety of cheese here. Different types and aged at different intervals. You can go from the more mild younger cheese to the older sharper cheese as an example (trust me there's a lot of cheese here). I would definitely hit this place up more if I lived in the area. I ended up taking a little bit of cheese for my trip home from here as well as some gourmet popcorn seeds.

I truly enjoyed it - and even ended up sharing it with my husband because there was just so much food! If you order the bouillabaisse, just know that it is a huge serving. I have quite a few dietary restrictions, so I was especially happy that the food worked so well for me and didn't cause any issues with my stomach. Everything was delicious, and I really enjoyed the experience. If I'm ever in Milwaukee again, I'll definitely be going back for the bouillabaisse!

I've been here a few times now with friends and family and I really enjoy the cheese bar. My prior…read morereviews are on another page for the business and spoiler - they were 5-star reviews. The space is cozy and dim and well decorated. The staff are always kind. some are more helpful or informative than others. You can pair the cheeses with every drink on the menu or try pre-paired boards. You can also buy cheeses from the dairy and others, as well as assorted related products at a small retail section or cut fresh from the cheese case. Parking is on the street and can be a pain in this saturated area. The reason for the drop in stars? Prior visits got you more wines and more food to pair it with. This visit had prices steady but fewer wines, less cheese and $1 upcharge for some wafer crackers. I know the economy is not great right now, but this now seems like an expensive place to bring friends, not a reasonable day outing.

Seems like a quintessential Wisconsin place to be, a cheese bar paired with your favorite wine or…read morecocktail. This place is pretty neat! It'll turn you into a cheese connoisseur if you're not already one. I fell in love with Gouda cheese as soon as I took a bite. We tried a classic cheese flight board and red wine only flight to pair with the different types of cheese. They made it into a gluten free spread so we had four types of cheese in lieu of the seasoned dried meat and gluten free crackers. The place is inviting, has nice decorations, great for going on a date or a casual catch up with your bestie. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They knew so much about wine and cheese, I would want a whole Documentary on cheese. You can also purchase cheese and other goodies to go! Come on Thursdays, they have a discount on cheese boards!

I recently stopped by Pete's Fruit Market for the first time after hearing about it. As soon as I…read morewalked in, I saw buckets of vegetables: peppers, tomatoes, squash, you name it. Most buckets seemed to be about 6-8 inches in diameter and prices ranged from $1 to $5. I only wish they offer smaller buckets instead of such a big bucket. It is hard to buy in bulk with smaller household and I don't like to freeze produce. I was curious about the quality of the produce, but I wasn't too impressed. For example, the apricots looked a little banged up--kind of like the "misfit" produce I've seen before. There was upbeat Mexican music playing, which gave the place a fun vibe, and the store itself isn't that big. A security guard was stationed outside. They had yellow-flesh watermelon at $0.99/lb, and giant seeded watermelons for $16 each--which felt pricey, especially since I had just come from Costco where I got a decent-sized watermelon for $6 (though admittedly smaller than the ones at Pete's). I also noticed mangoes going for $2 each, which again felt steep. I had been hoping to find some Mexican pastries, but nothing really stood out, and there weren't any prepared foods available. However, I saw they got a catering menu which I thought it might be good to have a food court selling those items. I was expecting something more like La Michoacana or Fiesta stores in Texas, but this wasn't it. In the end, I just picked up a few Mexican candies like Pulparindo and called it a day. I was a bit disappointed with the fruit selection, especially the lack of tropical options. On the plus side, they have a fairly large, gated parking lot, which is convenient. I'm glad I visited, but not sure I'll be rushing back anytime soon.

And the opportunity to have your chosen plants planted in your choice of planters on the spot makes it so special, especially for someone like me who can't seem to pot a plant to save my life. The store is heavily stocked but not overwhelming; it takes a while to see it all and decide what all I wanted to get. It is a lot of fun to shop here. Park at the Public Market for the easiest way to find a spot or wait for a spot on the street. I am not sure about accessibility as it is a few steps to get in the front door. I didn't see another option but I also didn't look for one. I hope they have access somewhere but call ahead to be sure.

I was surprised I could purchase anti-fungal powder at the candy shop. There was also a bowl with unwrapped candy cherries that were a penny each. My friend was ready to buy 10 of them, until he realized that little kids are probably also reaching their grubby sticky paws in there, too. If you're passing and need a soda or a bag of chips, it's worth stopping in just to see it. I wouldn't recommend going in after dark though.
