    Black Magic Espresso Tonic
    Dianne M.

    I have really grown to enjoy espresso tonics. I was in shopping at Blick Art Materials in Third Ward and asked where there was a good coffee shop and the associates all concurred that Likewise Coffee had both great coffee and a nice, peaceful space to enjoy it. THEY WERE RIGHT! I was ready to get a latte when I spied the Black Magic Espresso Tonic on the Fall Offering Menu! This is hands down the BEST ESPRESSO TONIC I've ever enjoyed! It was made with espresso, tonic with concord grape juice, lemon, spiced honey and was artfully capped with a star of anise! LOVE IT!

    Likewise has an awesome ambience--it's the perfect place to hang out, relax, and catch up with friends. The lighting in here is amazing--there's an abundance of natural light and it's definitely a feel good place even in cooler weather. The drinks are consistently good too--I tried both the PSL and the Chaider (50 Chai/50 apple cider). The cider is from a local orchard too, which I love. I don't know why I haven't stopped by more often, Likewise is easily one of my favorite coffee shops in MKE and it's conveniently located near a lot of cool things.

    Interior: clean and modern. Good to work in.

    If you're a coffeeshop laptop warrior this would fit your needs fine. Lots of work surfaces, tables, and room to spread out in, free WiFi and clean modern decor. That's all good and well, and if I had my laptop with me I'd probably have spent a lot more time here. But I didn't, and so the barren surfaces, dim lighting and businesslike vibe just hastened my departure. Don't get me wrong; the coffee/drinks are good, the baristas are on point, service is businesslike and the place is clean, but it's also a bit colorless and light on ambiance. I guess it all depends on your mood: Are you here to work or just chill?

    First time here. Came with a friend on a Sunday morning. At this time of day, it was relatively quiet (with the exception of a rumbling motorcycle or two). The place is bright and cheery. Inside, there's lots of natural light from the big windows. There are several tables outside and plenty of other seating inside. It wasn't too busy inside, and we got to order right away. Got a friendly greeting from the baristas. We ordered a couple of London Fogs (a little vanilla, a little lavender, and extra foam) and the Citrus Ginger Scones, although they had other scones that looked equally delicious -- Breakfast Sausage or Spinach Feta (can those really be scones?) The London Fogs came out perfectly, and they even did some wonderful latte art. The extra foam was plentiful and luxurious (no skipping here). Decided to take these outside and sit in the cool morning air. Nice spot that allowed for a long, quiet conversation. Great first experience. Would definitely come back.

    Great coffee shop with lots of plants and a spacious layout that's perfect for working, chatting, or just hanging out. The coffee and pour-overs are delicious, and I really appreciated the variety of gluten-free options. The baristas are knowledgeable and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Solid spot I'd happily return to.

    Great modern vibes in this coffee shop downtown. Lots of open space, lots of people, plenty of tables, airy vibes. Hard wooden chairs to discourage prolonged stays, though it looks like students with laptops aren't much dissuaded. Coffee and latte were good. The cashier wasn't the friendliest of people I've met, but not rude or anything. Overall vibes are good, but not my cup of tea.

    I still love the atmosphere, bright and open space, and the huge windows which bring in this brightness (when the weather is in a good mood). The coffee is fantastic. I haven't had the food but looks very tasty. And I love working remotely in this space. All the plants!! However, the service ranges consistently from indifference to just awful. This afternoon for example - I said hello to the barista as I stepped up to the counter. Nothing. A blank, vacant stare. I've worked in the service for years. I get that customers can be jerks, rude, and/or just plain hostile. But come on. A simple acknowledgment of my existence isn't much to ask for or a basic greeting, right?

    One of my favorite coffee shops, mainly because of the espresso flavor. A lot of coffee shops don't nail that pure coffee flavor but this place does! The place is adorable, very open and bright. Makes it easy to study or work. Greenery, which is a nice addition to the ambiance. The service is amazing, very knowledgeable people! We love their tasty pastries and their sausage pastry is to die for! I always go with the vanilla bean latte, iced. Not too sweet, just perfect! There is one barista that froths the milk and pours it over the iced espresso... which I can never find anywhere else. I feel like lattes should be like this, even though it's iced. Perfection!

    The clutter free, clean and modern look of Likewise is refreshing and welcoming. I always get their cortados and it's perfect every time, flavor and look-wise. It's a great stop for a pick-me-up!

    I've been here a couple of times in the past few weeks and got the chai tea latte both times. It's honestly really yummy. Both times there's a good amount of people in there and the seating setup isn't as comfy but the aesthetic is really nice and modern. The greenery and clean lines make it an inviting space to enjoy. I would definitely revisit when I'm in the area.

    Bright spacious modern industrial coffee house with an organic feel sprinkled with pretty plants, it has an inviting vibe to it and a nice place to meetup with friends. Service is great, fast and easy I ordered a decaf latte with oat milk and came out looking so pretty with the latte art! Easily one of my favorite coffee places in the third ward!

    Inside

    This was the perfect pit stop on a very cold day. I ordered a hot vanilla bean latte and a hot golden milk (Stay Golden) that warmed me right up! They were delicious. The vanilla bean latte was smooth and creamy. I thought the sweetness level was very balanced. The golden milk was good as well, but it was very gritty because of the turmeric and cinnamon grinds. There was plenty of seating inside and big windows that let in a lot of sunlight. I think this place is good for hangouts or for studying/doing work. They also have coffee beans and loose leaf tea for sale as well as other Likewise coffee merch (i.e. stickers, shirts, mugs, etc.) The service was good. There was only 1 barista when I came in, so she was taking all the orders and making the drinks as well. She was friendly, and the drinks came out relatively quick.

    Varun S.

    Everything about this place makes you feel so good - the plants, the staff, and the vibe! They make their syrups in house and make a mean lavender latte - highly recommend!

    Tasty cappuccino with a nice kick, but the frothing broke down and threw the drink off. Solid spot, just not quite dialed in that day.

Unfortunately, they were some of the blandest lattes I've had in a long time. Even my wife commented on how lackluster they were. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, and cheese. It was disappointing as well. The sausage patty was warm around the edges, but still cold in the middle, and the sandwich looked like it had simply been dropped into the to-go box without much care. Service: One staff member was handling the register, taking orders, and preparing the food, all while doing their best to keep up with customers. During that time, another employee was stocking shelves and organizing bags of coffee. From a customer's perspective, it seemed like helping with the line and food preparation would have been the higher priority. Atmosphere: This location definitely caters to a different clientele. Since it's part of the Public Market, you don't really get the traditional coffee shop experience that Anodyne is known for. We found a couple of chairs at a small table outside, which was a pleasant place to enjoy our drinks. This location just didn't live up to the experience I've had at Anodyne's other cafés. It's probably not one I'd plan to return to.

You may see them in and around East Town and Third Ward peddling coffee and now healthy snacks. During the week, they are parked outside the Johnson Controls building (Jefferson & Michigan). It's the service that separates them from the others. Every morning Mike yells out, "BARRY!" Mike and Matthew (when he is there) really work hard on getting to know everyone and makes it a point to remember what you do, like, your interests or asks about your weekend. Ask yourself, when was the last time you experienced that? I usually go for their dark roast. Recently, I tried the pour over (it takes more time to make) and the flavor and quality is much better if you have the time. Today, I wanted to try the Booster Bites,on-the-go energy in bite sized portions made with nuts, seeds and dried fruit. They are supporting this brand by selling this from their cart. They also donate 10% of their profits to a charity each month. The accept debit and credit cards too. Bring in your own cup and get a discount.
