    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?

    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    I got the ice tea with lavender and it was very good! I'm not a coffee drinker so cannot comment on that. But the tea was great. Very modern looking place with lots of sunlight. I did some work there for a couple hours and felt so productive.

    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.

Since this coffee shop is located inside the Public Market in the Third Ward, it was very crowded when we visited. We were able to place our orders right away, but there were easily twenty people waiting for their drinks. The baristas clearly had a lot going on, yet they handled the rush extremely well. Everything still moved smoothly, and the crowd was surprisingly patient. I ordered a 20 oz iced caramel latte ($6.75), and it was incredible. It was so creamy and rich and reminded me of those Werther's caramel coffee hard candies in the best way. My friends all took a sip of mine and ended up liking my drink more than their own, which made it even better. Honestly, this was one of the best lattes I have ever had. Despite the busy atmosphere, the quality of the drink and the efficient service really stood out. I would absolutely come back the next time I am in the area.

    I came here, first time, on a whim since it's close to where I reside and I always walk by it…read more I was out and about earlier in the day and wanted to have a nice sit down meal for myself. I love sandwiches and knew I had to try the pastrami. It was fantastic. I've been trying to cut back on caffeine and I instead went with one of their refreshers on the menu. It was I believe and 'Blue and Grapefruit' - and that wasn't my favorite as someone who doesn't really care for grapefruit that much. I got it thinking it would be diluted a bit, SO, if you like grapefruit, I'm sure it's perfect for you. I also got a peanut butter oreo pie and wish I took a picture of it...but I devoured it too quick to even think about it. For me, that dessert was the definite highlight of the cafe. I'll definitely come back on more weekends when I have a craving for pastrami.

    First time here. It was a cold morning, so I stopped in for a hot beverage and something to eat…read more Food: For not being a coffee shop, they have an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte, with a little lavender and a little vanilla, in a mug. The barista did a nice job and gave the tea a good long steep. It had excellent flavor, and the temperature was right (about 140°F). It would have been even better with a bit more foam on top. For bakery items, they had a big pile of large cookies (cowboy?), but not much else. The food menu is a little sparse but has some good options for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. I ordered a Cubano sandwich, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It came out hot, with nicely grilled bread and savory meats inside. The roasted pork was especially tender and flavorful. It came with a small container of slaw, which was a little uninspiring. Service: The person who took my order and made my drink did a nice job. She took her time and did a good job with the drink. I appreciated that they delivered both the drink and the food to the table. She was a bit soft-spoken and a little hard to hear with the music playing. Efficient, but not especially outgoing. Atmosphere: The space has a bit of an industrial minimalist feel. High ceilings with the mechanicals in plain sight, along with colorful paint and design elements. Seating can accommodate groups of different sizes, though there aren't too many spots ideal for couples. The space can be a bit echoey, and the volume of the music could make conversation challenging at times. It's a nice spot for groups to hang out, and there was a larger table where people were working and collaborating. A decent spot for hanging out at lunch or later in the afternoon.
