As are the employees. I'm always game to try their season lattes, so I went with the elderflower one on special. Loved the flavor. However I'll say, I always alwaysss ask for 'half' the flavoring / syrup and honestly that's plenty. So just a hot tip if you're not into anything overly sweet or flavored. My friend got the matcha latte and added a shot of espresso. That's a good pick here, too! It's been a bit since I've eaten of their menu but I'll be back for that because the options are great for a small cafe.

First time here. Came with a friend to check it out. It was early morning (8 a.m.), and it was…read morequiet with a few other people there. It's an interesting place, but hard to put into a specific category. It offers hot beverages, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, oatmeal, etc. -- and then they also have ice cream. When I walked in, I was a bit unsure about the layout and seating. In the first area, there are a couple of tables. There are lots of things going on in this space, and it feels a bit cramped and chaotic. The order counter is here, along with a small kitchen. Beyond this space, you'll find a much larger seating area with tables for different-sized groups. I'm not a design expert, but this area also felt a bit chaotic. I didn't sense any overarching design. For me, it didn't have the relaxing, chill vibe I look for in a coffee shop or café. Got a super friendly greeting and service. Ordered a couple of tea lattes -- one Chai, and the other a London Fog (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam). Both were made in mugs, served at the right temperature, with great flavor. Got a couple of the scones, and those were just "okay." They were dry (which a scone should be), but they leaned more muffin-like than shortbread-like. Overall, the visit was a mixed bag -- not bad, but not a place I'm likely to return to.

The vegetarian quiche available when I was there was pepper-jack...awfully tasty and a good-sized slice too. You order at the counter and find a table. We were there with about 6 people and, although it was fairly busy, it didn't take long (on a late Wednesday morning) for us to find a place for all of us. They've got couches and comfy chairs, as well as regular tables and chairs for a more traditional dining experience. We dug the atmosphere and overall local vibe of the place. They're coffees and things that go in the coffees (milks and honey) are locally sourced, so a good amount of thought goes into what goes into what they're serving you. We'd definitely go again!

First time here, came with friends on a Sunday for lunch. It's located right across from Lake…read moreFowler, so you can choose to dine inside or take your order to-go and sit at one of the lakeside tables. Inside, there are numerous seating areas for different-sized groups, spread across several "rooms" that give you a sense of privacy. Large front windows let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel open and bright. We arrived right around noon, just as the lunch crowd was filling in. There was a short line that moved quickly. Service was friendly and helpful while we placed our order. We decided on the Brie Salad and the Avocado Toast, along with a Lemonade and a London Fog Tea Latte. I gave them my special instructions for the latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam, in a mug), and they were happy to make it exactly as requested. Orders come with a number, and the staff delivers your food right to your table. The wait was short before our food arrived, and the entire meal was excellent. My Avocado Toast was a treat -- layered with toast, cream cheese (yes, cream cheese!), avocado, and feta on top. It was so good as is, but next time I'll ask if they can add a poached egg on top -- that would make it even more amazing. A great first-time experience here. I'd definitely come back for breakfast (or maybe try another lunch).

Our wedding planner, Molly, was AMAZING. She was organized, responsive, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She made sure every detail was taken care of, and on our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we could simply enjoy ourselves and celebrate with our family and friends. The space was beautiful, the food and drinks were fantastic, and the entire staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Our guests had such a wonderful time, and we received so many compliments about the reception. A huge thank you to Molly and the entire Centraal team for making our wedding reception so special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Centraal to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding reception or special-event venue in Milwaukee. 5 stars all around!

We walked up and ordered and then picked our drinks at the counter. I ordered a caramel latte. It was a bit too sweet for my liking. They have a ton of specialty lattes and baked goods. I like the idea of a coffee shop during the day and a cocktail bar at night- espresso martinis must be a hit!

Second time here. I stopped in during the summer for a cold Italian soda. This time I came for a…read morehot beverage, a London Fog Tea Latte. Food: Ordered my usual London Fog Tea Latte, with a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra frothy. I would have liked it served in a mug, but they only offer paper cups. The drink was nicely made. I am used to having the tea steeped first and then finished with frothed milk. In this case, the milk was frothed first and the tea bag was added afterward. The result was a very frothy drink, but the tea flavor was a bit weaker than I prefer. Service: I arrived close to noon and the place was about half full. There was only one person working, taking orders, handling payment, and making drinks. Because of that, it took a while to place my order. That said, the person doing all the work was super friendly and helpful, and took the time to make the drink properly. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is relaxing, with lots of big windows and natural light. There are several different seating areas with various table and chair configurations. There is counter seating, high tops, and overstuffed leather chairs. It was a cold day, but the space was very comfortable inside. Everyone was having quiet conversations and being respectful of the environment. Overall, a nice visit. It would benefit from a bit more staffing to speed things up, and ceramic cups for hot drinks would be a great addition.

The overall atmosphere was calm and comfortable during my visit, and I enjoyed the experience. I'd definitely come back to try more of their drinks and food options. If you like seasonal flavored lattes, the Carrot Cake Latte is worth trying!

Oh, and of course coffee and food too. Well, I found that and MORE here at Wantable Cafe. Not only is it FREE to come here--no monthly subscription unlike some other remote work cafes but they also let you reserve noise cancelling pods. Two pods have couches where a few people can sit and work together and one pod is for a solo person working--or like in my case having to take an exam with dead quietness, no people, pets and be heavily scrutinized. The rest of the cafe has a bunch of tables ranging from 2 people to groups of 6 people, couches, comfy chairs AND lots of plug outlets. So there is plenty of space for you and others if you need it. Now let's get to the good part---the FOOD. The have gourmet pizza slices sold by the ounce, gourmet cannolis (the matcha and chocolate was to die for), breakfast sandwiches, bowls, snacks, basically everything you could want to set up shop. Plus wine and beer! My only wish is that they were open 24/7 because I also work 3rd shift and finding anywhere to study without waking up my wife and disturbing my precious dog is difficult.
