First time here. Nomad is part of a collection of food & drink venues located on a corner of Brady Street. It's famous for its World Cup parties. The coffee shop is connected to the other through a shared patio space. There are outside heaters available on the covered patio areas. We stopped in for a hot beverage and some breakfast. The coffee shop is not much too look at. There are a few high tops, with tall metal chairs. It efficient, but not all that comfortable. We were the only ones eating inside. You could also take a seat outside in the covered patio, which was actually warmer with the heaters going. Got a friendly greeting by the Barista. Asked for a Latte and a London Fog. They were out of Earl Grey (along with Chai and some other teas), so they made it with a simple Black Tea. Did a good job with the rest of the recipe (little lavender, little vanilla and extra foam). For food we got a M40 Commuter (Egg, Sausage, Ham, Cheese on a Toasted English Muffin) and the Veggie Burrito. A few cookies, or muffins to choose from, but not much breakfast pastries (i.e. Scone) The drinks and the food were very good. Everything was hot, flavorful and nice portions. The M40 sandwich was delicious, and looked like it was made with care. The muffin was toasted (it actually looked grilled) and the home made cheese sauce gave it unique finish. The burrito was practically bursting at the seams. Both items were excellent choices. Nice place, but didn't make my "got to come back to list".

Caramel mocha

What a lovely coffee oasis in Milwaukee's lower east side. Stopped by here on a Saturday morning for bites and the hope of an espresso drink. Since it's winter, their seating options are somewhat limited, but we were able to get a hightop table (right near the heater no less!). I ordered a caramel mocha made with almond milk. What a lovely beverage. Their espresso is clean and smooth and of the highest quality. Neither the chocolate nor caramel were overly sweet--it was delicious. I got their M40 commuter breakfast sandwich. It comes with egg, sausage, smoked ham, pepper jack cheese, and house made cheese sauce on a toasted english muffin. I had them nix the ham and swapped out the pepper jack for cheddar. I think the house made cheese sauce must be pepper jack based as they didn't add that either (no biggie). It made for a basic but tasty breakfast sandwich. Their space is amazing for summer with plenty of outdoor and indoor/outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back in the warmer months. The only slightly bizarre thing is there is also a Nomad bar on the corner (about half a block away). I'm sure it's part of the same biz but is definitely separate. We wandered in there looking for coffee (our mistake). So, if you find yourself in a bar, exit and go down the block/side street a bit and you'll find it! Get to it!

Chicharito Burrito

Burrito was full of flavor and delicious. Also ordered The house coffee which had a pleasant taste. Service was good. The place was pretty busy for a weekday and very chill atmosphere.

Best grilled cheese sandwich I ever had! Wide breakfast menu. Wish they had decaf coffee offerings. Recommend!

Morning after Summerfest required a strong coffee and breakfast. Nomad supplied. Great coffee and food- wonderful outdoor setting.

The Pitch Smoothie
Stephanie G.

A friend from across the country had a smoothie sent to me as a surprise. I had never been to Nomad but after one sip of The Pitch Smoothie I knew I was hooked. This is a health-smoothie, not a j*mba juice sugar bomb, and it tastes as such. I prefer the taste of a healthy, fresh, delicious smoothie. 5 stars from me, can't wait to check out more smoothie options.

What a fabulous meal and experience atTaurp Cocina! 3 of us…read morewent last Sunday, Aug 23rd, to celebrate a birthday. Actually 2 of the 3 of us had a birthday in the last 4 weeks. 1 of us had been to Tauro Cocina before. The food was excellent! We shared a house salad which was very good. The 3 entries ordered were: Linguine al Poblano, (house-made linguine tossed in our specialty poblano pesto with grilled chicken) Cilantro Risotto (cilantro cream risotto, served with spicy grilled shrimp, topped with shaved parmesan) And Grilled Salmon (served with your choice of risotto & sauteed seasonal. Each one was unique, so flavorful & freshly prepared. Excellent! The service was top notch. I had called earlier to see if they did anything for birthdays. The reply was yes. When arriving the host asked if we were celebrating any special event, confirming my call. Through the entire meal service was attentive without being obtrusive. When our plates were cleaned (with leftovers for each of us) the server brought out plates for both birthday friends. The plates had 3 churros, a small dish of warm chocolate sauce, were decorated with Happy Birthday & a candle. All with finesse. An overall great meal and great experience. Definitely worth visiting & I will be returning.

Our first visit to Tauro Cocona (and my first visit to the building since it housed Tracadero) but…read morewill not be our last. Great ambience. The menu offers enough options without being too big; we were intrigued by the italian/mexican fusion. Everything we ordered was delicious. The calamari was a great starter with a spicy red sauce. The pastas were fantastic. Finally the birthday churros the waiter delivered changed my stance on churros. They were fresh out of the fryer, hot and crispy. Gone in no time. The only complaint i can offer is that our server was not as attentive as you'd want. It wasn't bad service; just not as prompt as you'd expect (i.e. asked how our food was as we were halfway through the dish, we finished our cocktails and were never asked if we wanted another, empty plates sat on the table a bit longer than they should). None of which will keep us from coming back. Will chalk it up to a busy Saturday first seating.

The service was great-the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The inside was very nice and has an elegant vibe. The eggplant chips tasted great, super thin and well seasoned. I wanted to taste and feel a little more eggplant, but they were chips and followed through with the assignment! The piccante pasta is one of my favorites, and not just because chicken is included vs. an add on. The shape of the pasta is super fun and holds the sauce perfectly. The sauce is phenomenal, I normally ask for all the salt, Parmesan, red pepper, etc. up front because I'm so used to things being under-seasoned but not with this dish! It had the perfect amount of salt and spice in addition to the pasta having the ideal al dente cook to it. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back for more!

Surprisingly calm and relaxed for a Sunday. Very approachable staff, and despite the price point, I…read morefound the pasta to be really good! I always hesitate paying a bunch for pasta, but this fettuccine was the perfect balance that didn't make me feel too bloated or sickly after from the amount of cheese. I don't think I'd do the breaded chicken again with this, but I already knew it would hit on some of their other dishes. Overall very nice, and I'd love to try their pasta flight next time I'm in town

The open kitchen lets you see the craftsmanship that goes into every order, and the team is friendly, welcoming, and happy to interact with guests. Their passion for what they do really stands out. I definitely ordered more than I could finish, but it was worth it! I recommend enjoying the pizza at the restaurant since it's best fresh from the oven. Since this is an authentic Italian restaurant, they don't serve ranch with their pizza, which I completely understand. I personally love a good ranch with my pizza, but that's just my preference. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta ball appetizer was delicious. Between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and getting to watch everything come together, this was one of my favorite dining experiences in Milwaukee. I will definitely be back.
