    Cinnamon rolls
    Jenny H.

    Super fluffy big cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. But what made it big and fluffy was what left it just short of 5 stars. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this pastry treat. It just had a more cake like fluffy texture than some other cinnamon rolls, making it almost cake/breadlike. Great frosting! Cute shop and the croissants looked amazing- want to try next time!

    Poppy Bakery is such a great spot for a morning treat. We picked up a bunch of yummy goodies, and the cinnamon roll was absolutely amazing. They do have a few tables to sit and enjoy your treats, but space is limited, so grab a seat when you can. A perfect way to start the day.

    I became a fan of Poppy Bakery at the Brookfield Farmer's Market, and now I try to make the trek to the east side bakery whenever I can to score some goodies! The service is always excellent, and if you can grab a table it's so nice to sit by the window, enjoy a Valentine coffee drink, and dig in to what whatever goodness you ordered. When the weather is nice you can sit outside at the picnic tables in the plaza. My favorites are the bacon brioche buns, the brownie, the cinnamon rolls, the coffee cake and.... Let's be honest - I love literally everything on the menu! Don't miss out on Poppy Bakery.

    First time here. Have been wanting to come since they opened and were reviewed in the paper. Came on a Sunday morning before noon, and there was a line pretty much out the door. It didn't take very long to get to the counter. As you wait, you get to check out all the amazing looking pastries and bakery items that they offer that day. There are a few small tables inside, or you can sit outside at some picnic tables that are in the closed off section of the street. Got a friendly greeting from the cashier and help with the order. We ended up with a couple of items to eat right away: Ginger Apple Scone and Cardamom Knot. We also got a Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie to take home. We would have liked to get a couple of hot teas, but all they offer is coffee. They have water available, so we had that instead. After a couple of quick minutes, our box with our order was ready. We sat at a table by the window. It's close quarters, so it's very likely that you'll be hearing (and possibly joining) other conversations. The Ginger Apple Scone was amazing. It has a thin sugar glaze, bits of ginger and apple, and a nice texture. The Cardamom Knot was a disappointment. It's made with brioche and was just not very substantial in taste or texture. Glad I tried it but would choose something else next time. Definitely a place that I would stop in again. Hot water with tea bags would be much appreciated.

    The baked goods at this bakery are so good, I kind of don't even know why I bake myself. I had a perfect chocolate chip cookie, a perfect chocolate brownie with sea salt and that's really all you need in life. But on top of that, I got the bacon, parm, and goat cheese brioche bun and the strawberry rhubarb brioche bun with chamomile cream and a poppyseed crumble. Sooo yeah, hanging up my apron and just going here when I need baked goods! There are still things I want to try like their sesame banana bread and miso brown butter cookie. Be prepared for a long line when you go, but rest assured, it moves quickly.

    I love that we have this bakery in town now. I went over the summer when it first opened and have been back multiple times since. The staff is great, parking isn't, and seating is limited. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the treats I've picked up. Some of my friends and family's favorites are the coffee cake, cinnamon roll, brownie, chocolate chip cookie, and any of the brioche flavors they've come up with. I'd definitely recommend a visit!!

    Loved the lineup of baked goods here! Everything was beautiful, creative, and truly unique for Milwaukee. If it's in Chicago there would be a line haha. My picky toddler loved the miso chocolate cookie. The bakery itself is super cute, and we only waited about 5 minutes for our order on a Saturday at 10am--not bad at all. There's some indoor seating and a shared patio space (from the old Crossroads Collective), which makes it a nice spot to hang out, too.

    Love when new spots open up in Milwaukee and I was so glad a friend asked me to check out Poppy Bakery with her! Everything was so good and flavorful and felt homemade. I loved the open kitchen concept and being able to see into the baking area and seeing the ladies at work! The coffee cake was moist and flavorful and my sisters brownie was super dense and delicious and my friend's pastries were incredible as well! This focaccia bread was to die for. I dream about it and will be back for it. The place has little seating but with the patio/outdoor space outside it is totally okay! I will be back again for that focaccia.

    Just went for the first time around 9:30am Saturday. I figured it was best to go early before they run out possibly? There was a line but we made our way through quickly. I'm happy the cat cafe was repurposed and the design of the space works really well for a bakery! Excited to see what they offer in the future. Currently hours are limited to Saturday and Sunday but they have plans to expand that in the future. So we chose 4 items to try today but will definitely be back for other items like the biscuits and brownies! The owner was working the register at the moment and was very friendly. Here's what we tried, all were delicious and fresh tasting. -Sour Cream Coffee Cafe -Strawberry Rhubarb Brioche Bun (our favorite of the four!) seasonal -Sesame Banana Bread -Raspberry Rhubarb Bostock (seasonal) Happy to live close to this bakery and look forward to trying more things soon!

    Love love love! I've actually never had their pastries before coming to their storefront so everything was a nice surprise! I love the rustic vibes, a few tables and chairs inside but the alley has some nice outdoor seating available. Everything we got was 1) too pretty to eat but also 2) so good. Their brioche was soft and pillowy, I liked their seasonal pastries (had the rhubarb), and just everyone was so sweet and welcoming. I can't wait to frequent this place!

    Super delicious za'atar focaccia and cool vibe. They were out of most of the baked goods after 12pm so make sure you get there early! Open only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

    Sara B.

    The freshest baked goods! We had a hard time deciding which ones to get so we tried so many and they have their regulars but seasonals as well. They know how to perfect their bread in different items and the level of sweetness too is perfectly made and not overbearing. Sweet sweet staff too! Minimal indoor seating but if the weather is nice they have good outdoor seating

    I came at around 11am so I think there weren't too many baked options left. The place had got such a cozy atmosphere, very fall-esque and has an easy vibe to it. I got an apple brioche bun because I was feeling fruity and it was actually so so good. I was worried that it was going to be too sweet with the cream filling but it was just the right amount of sweet. The service was quick as well which was amazing because I just wanted to get my pastry to go! I would def try to come here earlier in the day if you want more options.

    Definitely a well known coffee shop. Colectivo coffee is good, but not my favorite in Milwaukee…read more It's just really hard to beat this location. I didn't take any photos inside this time but their patio is quite amazing. If you go in the weekends before noon, be prepared to wait awhile. There's just no getting around that unfortunately. Being right off Lincoln Memorial Drive and the Oak Leaf Trail, it's an amazing spot whether you drive, bike, or walk from wherever you're coming from. Parking is limited in their lot, but there's an additional free public parking lot across the street with plenty of availability. For non-coffee drinkers, there's a lot of great menu options for alternatives, as well as some solid food options.

It's a treat on its own I'm reminded because it dosnt really pair to well with anything on the menu with my personal experience. Today I do try the lemon lavender cookie. The cookie seemed to be a sugar cookie but the frosting on the inside is where there was the blend of lemon and lavender. It was such a pretty color and honestly a perfect consistency, almost like a firmer buttercream. The staff was different, but maybe I just haven't come on a weekend in the longest time. I snagged a parking spot on a Sunday which seems like a score. Nice atmosphere, kid friendly. For me it's my favorite location, but when it's warm out and you can be outside that's when it'll have to be 6/5 stars :)

    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.

There are a couple of basic small café tables out front. Inside is a large space that is brightly lit through the plate glass windows. There are tables set up throughout, mainly for couples, but they could be combined for larger groups. There are also stools at the counter for seating. There wasn't anyone else in the place when I arrived, so it was very quiet. Got greeted by the friendly cashier/barista. I wanted to get a London Fog Tea Latte, but they were out of Earl Grey, so I ordered a Chai Latte instead. They didn't have a scone, but the cinnamon roll with icing looked pretty good too. Offered to warm it up, and I said definitely yes. It took a few minutes for the drink to be ready, which means they let the tea steep properly. When it got delivered to my table, I was pleasantly surprised by the latte art in the foam. I have never had a barista give me that special treatment and was thankful. The cinnamon roll was warm, gooey, and delicious. Definitely a place that I would return to.
