Don't miss this! If you're in the Oak Creek area, and you're looking for a clean and quaint place to get some caffeine, this is a great place to be! It is a converted old school house right off Ryan Road. The interior is very welcome and inviting. The staff is very nice. And the coffee itself is from Anodyne, so you know it's good! read more

I wanted to love this place but it was tough...the noise is really loud when the place is crowded. Really hard to have a conversation. It was like people were battling on who could talk loudest. There is a basement but it felt a little dreary. The plain black coffee was decent and the banana chocolate chip muffin. The thing my colleague and I couldn't get over was the older building smell. I hate to give a bad review for a quaint place but please know I must be honest. If you're sensitive to older building smell you may not love this place. I even bought a cute coffee bean bag but got it home and my whole room smelled like the old building. I even washed it twice..sadly I threw it in the garbage as the smell of the building seemed to be saturated in the fabric. I will say the staff seemed nice, Maybe I'd go back if they had outside seating vs. in the building. The smell just overpowered my experience just too much... read more

Love this place so much. An old schoolhouse, turned coffee house/bakery. The staff is so welcoming- including Rose the owner- she's a dear! The bakery case has homemade, unique treats. Coffee is terrific! Lots of seating. Big parking lot. read more

Too expensive for whatever menu item your getting! Also very noisy in the seating area when their making all the drinks, coffee, etc. with the coffee grinders, blenders always on, it's hard to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Found this gem when I was looking for a local cafe to get a gift card for my sister who goes to a church nearby. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this place. Housed in a former little school house, everything about it is charming. When you enter up the stairs there is a place to order your coffee, tea and other beverage options and they have the most amazing looking bakery. They also carry gluten free bakery which all looked soooo good. I ordered an Americano and my son ordered hibiscus blueberry tea. The girl behind the counter was super sweet and friendly. They have a nice seating area decorated with different tables and chair sets, orchids and other plants on the window sills, another coffee bar just without the bakery where they make the beverages. They have a shelf with games, a small table and chairs for little ones, the cutest table decoration of glass flowers in different tea cups. We played a few games of Connect Four, I did win one game but won't say how many we played. I found the prices very reasonable. There is more seating available in the lower level which according to the sign is also used for private events which is good to know. I wish I lived closer because I could definitely see myself going there quite often with friends. They did not have a shortage of customers and the girl at the counter greeted an older gentleman who ordered ahead of me by his name so obviously a repeat customer. I also like that they have art work for sale from different artists on the wall for purchase and have children's pictures displayed on a door. So many good vibes!! read more

Might be my favorite coffee and bake shop in all of Wisconsin (I've only been here for a month though). The coffees were excellent so was the lattes, I also had the breakfast sandwich egg and cheese on a house made croissant ... best part about it... the runny yolk! Perfection! I also got an apple maple something bar... next level good. read more

Very cute, smiling staff, who will talk you up a storm, and laid back atmosphere. Lots of GF options for sweets and serves Anodyne coffee. Service is slow, but it's because they're so friendly with everyone. Just take your time and enjoy browsing through their knickknacks! read more

the staff is so friendly and helpful! Had a coffee and later their daily specials salad both were delicious. Plenty of sitting as well! Heads up, the have one time code for Wifi for two hours, it seems that you may have to pay for longer access. Would recommend for coffee and lunch, but not working remotely from here read more

What a cute little coffee spot! Hillside is a great place to grab a quick coffee, stay and do some work or just relax and enjoy the ambiance. They have a large variety of coffee drinks and do have seasonal drinks. I have had their iced coffee (which they serve with coffee ice cubes - frozen coffee - to not dilute the drink) and various lattes and can say they are always delicious and just the right amount of sweet. Their bakery is also very good and they have a large variety of baked goods to choose from. Staff are very nice and friendly. The owner regularly comes and will talk to customers which I really appreciated! read more

This was once a school, now a coffee house with amazing baked goods. There was a line when I arrived and it moved very fast. The ladies working are all extremely friendly and welcoming. There are several tables to relax and enjoy your coffee, and lots of windows with natural light and plants, a very calming place, and there is a whole downstairs as well. I was impressed with my bakery treat and will definitely be back to try more. Not pictured was my chai and that too was delicious, not over spiced, just the way I love it. read more

This is the most adorable coffee shop I've ever been inside of. It's in a cute former schoolhouse. They have a variety of homemade pastries and treats to choose from at the main station where you order and pay. They then have you enter the main room, which has an eclectic mix of seating arrangements, where you can wait for your drinks. They serve either in to go containers or on China! Their coffee is delicious as are all their treats. (Don't forget to try a cinnamon roll! That's their specialty!) read more

The only bad thing about this place is trying to decide which pastry to order. Delicious!!Ordering is easy. Ambiance is cozy and volume is loud. read more

I love the lattes and desserts! Very cozy atmosphere! I understand having days off but I really wish they would be open on either a Monday or Tuesday because my son goes to school those days. It would be nice to sit and sip on a latte while waiting for him to be done (he is only in for 1 1/2 hours). If anyone is in the area give it a shot! read more

Adorable coffee shop! Exactly what I've been searching for since moving back from Sacramento where there were plentiful privately owned unique coffee shops. Atmosphere and service were both exceptional, and choosing a menu item was hard, because everything looked delicious! Did not disappoint! read more

A year later and I'm finally back at the Hillside Coffee House. Let me tell you, I am even more surprised and delighted at my experience here. The ham and cheese croissant was melt in your mouth delicious and worth the wait for them to make a fresh batch. The iced cinnamon roll latte was smooth and just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere in here is amazing, and the staff makes you feel like this is your home. So many smiles, so much kindness, and amazing smells. If you haven't been here yet and are thinking about trying, then step right in to your home away from home. read more

We went to Hillside Coffee House for a cup coffee while in the area. it is in a repurposed old school with it's history on display throughout the building. While the coffee was good the bakery was superb. Nothing against Yelp but it deserves a Michelin star. The dough was melt in your mouth good and the fillings and flavors were creative delights. We made sure we were there when they opened the doors the next day Too, Had to wait a little bit as things were just coming out of the oven. Thought about getting the same as I had the day before, but each day brings new delights Looking for an excuse to go to Oak Creek again. When I do it will include a stop at Hillside Coffee Shop. read more

Absolutely amazing bakery, great fresh made options daily. Whenever they have a special, a sandwich or pizza slice, I order it because I know it's going to be made with love and extremely tasty. Coffee drinks are a must. Baristas and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Place is very well run, you can tell they care. Location is a former school house, and was thoughtfully renovated, into a nice cafe. read more

Hillside Coffee House is a beautiful local coffee spot in Oak Creek. This renovated building from the late 1800s has served as a school (with photos from the 1930s classes to prove it!), city hall, and a variety of other businesses. There's plenty of natural light, tables, and nooks to be cozy in. They serve a variety of baked goods and Anodyne coffee. I'll be back! read more

This week I made my first visit to Hillside coffeehouse and I've been back nearly every day since! I was not aware of Hillside until an Uber driver mentioned it to me because of their gluten-free offering. Their homemade bakery items (including the gluten-free) are exquisite. So far, I've sampled their gluten-free tarts, muffins, and cupcakes. And all were amazing! While I was there, I found out that they make gluten-free bread every Wednesday AND they also offer pizza every other Friday - including a gluten-free version! (I picked up my first order of six gluten-free pizza slices this Friday and they were amazing. You would never know that they were gluten-free.) I've also enjoyed their iced coffee. Seriously everything has been so good! The staff is extremely friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant. There are two seating areas - upstairs and downstairs - and it's a great place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee . I am so pleased to have found this little gem!! read more

First of all, the building is delightful. Having gone to a one-room school (and I'm not well that old), it brought back fond memories. The service, breakfast sandwich, and coffee perfect. I don't drink coffee out of paper or plastic, and I really appreciated a real cup. read more

Probably the best bakery i had in greater Milwaukee You can tell everything is just elevated to another level, without being overly sweet and it's just concentrated with a bouquet of flavors for each piece they create. & Each can be like a work of art. It just blows me away that they do all the stuff custom in house. read more

Okay guys! Hillside Coffee House is the cutest little converted schoolhouse bakery/coffee shop I've been to! They offer a variety of baked goods such as bagels, muffins and cupcakes. There was a nice variety of gluten free and seasonal flavors! We tried the Napoleon (yum!) and a split a lemon berry cupcake with a meringue on top and chocolate raspberry with the best frosting! All were amazing and I believe the options change daily! They also had coffee drinks, flavored teas, and cocoa! I highly recommend checking it out for a relaxing morning with friends read more

Two words: Saturday. Danishes. We're typically indifferent to danishes, especially store bought ones.. but oh my goodness, they are seriously some of the best pastries we have ever had. The staff here is very kind and personable as well. Cute little place to enjoy coffee and pastries. read more

Hillside Coffee House - Raspberry Danishes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

The upsides: Friendly staff, pleasant environment, tasty baked goods, good coffee. The downsides: Their hours suck; mornings only (well, until 1pm) closed Monday and Tuesday Credit card fees: on top of boutique pricing (understandable given the upsides above) they charge a 4% fee for using credit cards. I know a lot of places do this but it's a short-sighted practice. I live in the area and drive by a couple times a day but rarely stop in because I don't generally carry cash. As it stands I probably go twice a year. I'd probably go twice a week if they didn't do the CC fee. read more

Amazing pastries ! Fantastic service and the owner is super friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The staff is always willing to suggests new drinks! read more

We visited Hillside Coffee today, and it was just as special as we remembered it to be. Rose greeted us with her lovely smile. The hot chocolate had a rich flavor which complemented the scrumptious egg cheese croissant, which is a complete meal in itself. We couldn't leave without purchasing a pastry to enjoy later. I had the apple cheesecake bar, and my friend chose the blood orange scone; both were amazing. read more

We purchased pies for Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving evening and I've eaten almost half of the best apple pie ever! The apples are firm and not sickeningly sweet...actually taste like apples. The topping is tasty and sweet. Need to find out if they make this often. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! read more

I wanted to love this place as I'm looking for a go to coffee place in the area. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was not good. It had a really weird aftertaste to it. I am not sure why, it could've been the syrup itself. I think it was more likely the amount of syrup she put in the drink. I have never seen someone put even half as much syrup in a flavored latte. I poured it out when I got home. I couldn't finish drinking it. They had a nice atmosphere, friendly workers, and lots of pastries to choose from. Perhaps if you were just going for plain coffee and pastry this would be good but for flavor/specialty coffee this was just not it. I would not go back. read more
