I love getting breakfast at Smallpie. My favorite food items are their hand pies - specifically the southwest black bean. I also like their granola and various breakfast sandwiches. The service is a walk up counter and they make the food fresh. They offer several n/an and alcoholic beverage options - the cherry limeade is refreshing! They have a smaller indoor seating area but larger seating outdoors. Dog friendly.

Milwaukee Mud Pie
Travis B.

Milwaukee Mud Pie: Honeypie Cafe opened in 2009 in the Bayview neighborhood on the south side of Milwaukee. They serve Midwestern-inspired food using homegrown WI ingredients. Their daily menu includes an all-day breakfast (something all restaurants should do) as well as an exclusive weekend brunch menu. In 2018, SmallPie opened a short 1.5 miles from its parent location. All of both location's pies are made individually by hand with Wisconsin butter, milk, eggs, oats, cream and (when available) Wisconsin and Midwest grown fruits. For my first visit I had to try their "all-time customer favorite", Milwaukee Mud Pie. It's a chocolate shortbread crust filled with a baked fudge layer, a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (off-brand OREOs), and a layer of chocolate cream filling. Topped with freshly whipped cream and more crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. I really wanted to like this and I'm not trying to dump on them, but I honestly prefer the frozen pies from Marie Callender or Edwards. Something about it just makes it fall flat for me. Possibly it's not sweet enough, but overly rich from the whipped cream. Personally, I prefer something more like Cool Whip as opposed to actual dairy cream. On the plus side, the chocolate short bread crust and brownie-like fudge layer had an excellent texture. It would have been nice having another pie to judge them with, but slices of both versions of their banana cream pie were unavailable. For me, this is an avoid as it's no way worth the calories with tastier (and cheaper pies out there). *This is was a 2 star pie, but I don't want to hurt a business based on my personal tastes so 3 (average) stars for effort.

Happy Mother's Day to best mom ever!

We came here in the morning to try something new and grab a small bite to eat. We walked by here several times and finally decided to stop by before we started working for the day. I had the bacon biscuit which had Wisconsin honey inside it. It was really good and the honey definitely made it pop. Unfortunately, there was a hair (not mine--it was too short) in it which turned me off for the rest of it. Alyssa got a couple of pastries that change daily. She said they were really good and that she wanted to try more another day. The pastries were the perfect amount of buttery and flakey. We also were able to sit outside and watch people shop for garden herbs and plants in their little plant area. We both just had nitro and house coffees that were amazing! Next time we walk down there, I'd try it again but if there's another hair I'll probably never go again. The service was great and helped with explaining what was in each item so I could make a more informed decision on what to eat.

It was quiet on a weekday morning which was exactly the vibe! We sat outside which was perfect as the baby could be in the shade and we could be in the sun. Friendly staff. Both had a breakfast food item and a drink. Door county cherry limeade was amazing! And iced chai was great! On the way out I grabbed a couple of bakery items- salted honey pie and an oatmeal cream pie! Delish!

Amazing patio, beautiful ambience and I love the garage door and open concept inside. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, but seems to really struggle keeping up with food orders, maybe they were understaffed when I went? The food tastes as good as it looks. My biggest gripe is that 20oz nitro cold brew was $11.50, although it is really delicious.

Great quiche, cherry limeade, and atmosphere!

Love to stop by SmallPie for a snack or a SPORTea on my way to walk by the lake. I'm a big fan of their savory hand-pies. Their giant cookies are a home run. Their kale salad is also delicious. Cute patio, kind service. Lots of street parking in the neighborhood. Enjoy!

pies to buy!
Irena S.

Came here because YELP actually published a "best pie in every state" list while we were in Milwaukee, so of course we had to come try it. We got 3 slices for $26, a fruit one, a french silk, and a milwaukee mud pie. Pros: - Prices may seem steep, but the pie slices are HUGE. Also the french silk and mud pie were DELICIOUS - I even ate the rest of the mud pie the next morning and the taste still really held up. This place is literally a hidden gem. It tasted exactly like the best version of what I expected out of each pie. - Despite a very humble space, the outside area is very chill to take a bite of pie in - The service was very efficient - Has a bathroom - Not too busy, fast staff response 10/10 would come back to Milwaukee for this, probably my favorite thing we ate during our trip!

Small Pie is a cute little space with a small outdoor patio when weather permits to have delicious treats and bakery. We ordered a pie online for pick up as a gift for our daughter and hubby for their 3rd anniversary. It worked out super easily and well. The gals were kind and friendly at the store and our pie was ready to go at the pick up time. We also purchased a gift card as a gift for a future pie. This was warmly received and super delicious. If you're looking for a unique and sweet special (as the pies are costly , but made with quality ingredients) gift for someone- consider one of their pies. YUM!!!!! There isn't a lot of parking availability. But, you'll manage. :) If you are elderly or can't walk far- maybe look into being dropped off so you can sit outside and enjoy your bakery - or inside. The seating is limited inside and it is small inside. But then you can look at the pretty case of desserts and think about your next visit.

Drink menu

Stopped here for a quick lunch to go. Overall I like the location, ambiance, food, and staff. They were friendly and pointed me to the food menu when I looked confused trying to find it. I grabbed a turkey pepper sandwich, 12 oz iced chai latte, and slice of key lime pie. The only reason I'm docking a star is the pricing. Those three items costed $30 and I do not think that's justified. The food was great, don't get me wrong. I think maybe if the sandwich came with chips or a side or everything was a couple bucks cheaper, I would come back more often.

Great spot to get some delicious treats for brunch or when having a sweet tooth. They have different pies and pastries that are all worth it. Different flavors for anyone, including vegans. They do have great service, they answer the phone and are polite. When you go in person they great you and make sure you're getting the correct items that you want. They have different crafts beers and wines. Ambiance is pretty cool and chill. Lots of locals so by that are walking their dogs. So get your dessert before they run out of it. Stopping by again.

I also love their baked goods and look forward to being able to enjoy a treat there. I hope they continue to to serve my neighborhood--I love the farm to table concept. 10/10.

We ended up getting the full English breakfast, I had a London fog latte and my fiancée had a regular coffee. They do have oat milk and soy milk if you prefer that instead of regular milk in your coffee. The full English breakfast has baked beans, tomato, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, eggs and toast. I have had this numerous times here and it has always been my favorite! the baked beans are just a little sweet n tangy, the eggs are however you like them cooked, and the mushrooms at a bit of earthy flavor. If you have ever been to England, the only difference is there is no white or black sausage here. I don't exactly like it so I am glad the sausage here is more like a broiled regular one. The London fog here is the ONLY one I like in MKE! They always put just the right amount of vanilla syrup and milk in it. Most places end up making it super sweet but this place is PERFECT! I come here occasionally because it's also cute and we like to sit in the window and people watch. The service is great and you just order from your phone at the table you choose and pay using Apple Pay or a card.

Fast and reliable. Vibes? Industrial meets mid century modern. One, large community table surrounded by other, smaller seating areas for individuals or pairs with some outside seating. Cordless, no-touch charging in the main inside table was thoughtful (though not Android compatible). I hope Boiler House Cafe is here to stay as a local business just getting on their feet. It feels like a place where you would meet up with a friend for a coffee date. I know for a fact that I'll be back for a coffee work session in no time!

I had scoped out a couple coffee shops in the neighborhood we were staying in, all within walking distance of our Airbnb. But as it turns out...none of them were open on Mondays OR Tuesdays. So I searched further away and generally along the route we were planning to take out of town on our adventures that day. My only requirement is that I find somewhere that wasn't a national chain (I'll go for local or regional chains!) That is how I came upon Boiler House Cafe. BHC is in the Brewery district, very close to several points of interest as well as apartments and hotels. And they are open, at least currently, every day of the week! They are fairly new, it seems, but I think they are definitely worth a visit! Metered street parking and pay lots are available. The space has that sort of industrial-light sort of feel inside. Old brick, exposed ducts, but still clean and inviting. There is outdoor seating, but no assisted shade which may or may not be welcoming depending on the time of day you visit. But there is plenty of indoor seating. The center, high-top counter tables have plugs for electronics, but ALSO have in-table cordless contact charging spots. Very clever and convenient. As for the actual coffee and offerings....their prices are very reasonable. My boyfriend and I each got a large specialty coffee and a pastry (four items altogether) and it cost less than $15 before tip. That is pretty darn good these days! My latte was delicious and the donut stick/cruller tasted exactly like I hoped and wanted it to. Absolutely give them a shot, whether that be for carry out or stay in. The staff is super friendly and kind. I would make Boiler House part of my regularly visited coffee houses if I lived in the Milwaukee area.

Not only is it FREE to come here--no monthly subscription unlike some other remote work cafes but they also let you reserve noise cancelling pods. Two pods have couches where a few people can sit and work together and one pod is for a solo person working--or like in my case having to take an exam with dead quietness, no people, pets and be heavily scrutinized. The rest of the cafe has a bunch of tables ranging from 2 people to groups of 6 people, couches, comfy chairs AND lots of plug outlets. So there is plenty of space for you and others if you need it. Now let's get to the good part---the FOOD. The have gourmet pizza slices sold by the ounce, gourmet cannolis (the matcha and chocolate was to die for), breakfast sandwiches, bowls, snacks, basically everything you could want to set up shop. Plus wine and beer! My only wish is that they were open 24/7 because I also work 3rd shift and finding anywhere to study without waking up my wife and disturbing my precious dog is difficult.

When I walked in, I was struck by how bright, airy, and full of life the space felt. The interior is beautifully decorated--tons of natural light, cozy seating, and plenty of greenery, which added to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the chicken coxinha, a cinnamon bun, and a tea latte, and everything exceeded my expectations. Coming from a neighborhood rich in Brazilian culture, I've had my fair share of coxinha, but this one was by far the best I've ever had. (As you can see the picture was taken after I had a bite because I couldn't wait) The filling was flavorful, the dough perfectly crisp on the outside and I loved the added onions, and it had that just-right balance of creamy and savory inside. The cinnamon bun was another standout--so soft, gooey, and packed with cinnamon goodness. I barely got to enjoy it because my partner stole it from me (which pretty much says it all). This café is a place I'll be coming back to. If you love Brazilian treats, a beautiful ambiance, and a cozy spot to unwind, this is the place to be! I can't wait to try the brigadeiros next time.
