Been to several of the Fiddleheads in Milwaukee. I typically find it to be a very good experience…read more The locations are all designed differently, and each has qualities that make it unique among other Fiddleheads and local coffee shops. This particular location has plenty of space for different size groups. You can choose between the downstairs area, an upstairs space, or a nicely appointed outdoor patio. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The baristas are usually high quality, but occasionally you will get someone who is either in training or using their own techniques. Today was a good example of that challenge. My usual London Fog Tea Latte was a surprise. You can check out the pictures. Whoever made it steeped the tea in the cup and then poured the steamed milk over the top, instead of removing the steeper and then adding the milk. No worries. I went back and they were happy to fix it. The reworked one was a bit cooler than I like, but the texture was much better. The bakery here is good too. There is a nice selection, though it does not taste as fresh as if it were made on site. I always ask to have bakery items warmed up, which I think improves the taste.

I was greeted promptly by the friendly staff, which I appreciated. They were extremely patient as I perused the lunch menu. I settled for the Chicken Bacon Avocado Melt. For the price, I found this to be a tremendous value, especially with the addition of chips. It hit all the notes I would expect from a Chicken Melt. One thing keeping this from being a 5 star was the cleanliness of the dining area. There were a number of dirty tables and debris on the floor. One note of caution: Parking can be tricky here. Be prepared in case you come during the morning rush.

I do like to support local coffee shops so I try and come here every once in a while, but goodness…read moreit has gotten expensive. Their bags of coffee have gone down in size and up in price unfortunately. I get it - the market, growing conditions, etc. Just odd that a bag of their coffee is more at the cafe than in the grocery stores. The staff are friendly though and the cafe gives you the perfect coffeehouse vibes. Chatter fills you as you walk in and people are catching up over their drinks. Not a fan of the small parking lot here. You're lucky to get a spot and to get out of the lot with traffic nearby. But, if you can walk, that would be ideal.

My favorites are their danishes, morning bun, and babkas. I love that they also have fun seasonal items as well. I typically stop by around 8:00am during the weekdays and there have been times where the space is packed. If you're in a rush, they also take orders online for pick up. You can either come or use the outside pickup window for your order. While the seating inside is limited, they have a huge patio space! I definitely want to stop by sometime in the spring/summer. :-)

Bakery items did not last long enough to be photographed teehee!…read more I scored a Goodie Bag the other day with Rocket Baby Bakery and woah! First off crazy amazing deal and easy process to pick up my bag. I ordered a large bag - if you're unfamiliar it's like a mystery bag and helps local businesses sell unsold food items to not create waste. The bag had a loaf of white bread, two cranberry orange muffins, monkey bread!!! and this delicious swirled croissant cinnamon pastry thing.

I chose the brunch sandwich which comes on a homemade rosemary biscuit and it was fantastic! My mom said her tuna salad sandwich was the BEST SHE'S EVER HAD!!! They even have jugs of water for you to take to your table which I appreciated a lot. Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to come back and try a coffee! My only negative is that our food took a very long time to come out. Although, it was definitely worth the wait!

Been here a few times in the past. This time, I came with a friend to get a hot beverage and a…read morepastry. Food: They have a large selection of breakfast pastries, including scones, cinnamon rolls, hand pies, and more. There are also some savory items, such as a rosemary biscuit. It was a tough choice, but when in doubt, I go for a scone, and they had a Maple Cinnamon one. I had it warmed up a bit, and it was delicious. These scones are not muffins in disguise, which means the texture is a bit drier and more crumbly--perfect alongside a hot beverage. For my drink, I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte. I was hoping to have it served in an actual ceramic mug, but those are only offered to customers who order drip coffee. That said, they made a very good London Fog, with a little extra lavender and plenty of foam. For my taste, it could have been a bit hotter. Service: Everyone who helped us was kind and helpful and gave us plenty of time to choose the perfect pastries. When ordering the London Fog, they explained how they make theirs and how they would add the extra lavender, which I appreciated. As mentioned above, they do not provide mugs for specialty drinks, using mugs instead to keep track of customers who have paid for bottomless drip coffee. I could bring my own mug from home, but I am not a fan of carrying around coffee shop essentials. Atmosphere: The building is nicely designed on the outside and sits on a corner with plenty of large windows that bring in natural light. It faces north, so you avoid the glaring morning sun. Upon entering, there is a short walk to the counter, where you can view all of the bakery and pastry items. A menu board above clearly displays the breakfast and lunch offerings, making it easy for first time visitors. There are numerous tables that accommodate small groups, and a fireplace with a couple of upholstered chairs offers a cozy seating option. Even after filling up with customers, the noise level was very good, and easy to have casual conversations. A nice visit and a place I would enjoy coming back to.

I stopped by to pick up donuts for clinic and stumbled across this place--so glad I did. They offer a wide variety of donuts (as you can probably tell from all the photos), and everything looked fresh and tempting. Parking is street parking only, and mornings can get busy, so plan accordingly--or just park a little farther down the street. You can also save time by ordering online. Bonus: the breakfast burrito is pretty good too. They also offer gluten-free donuts, which is a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend Cranky Al's for the fun ambiance and quick, delicious donuts. There isn't much seating, but it's a great spot to grab a treat for yourself or for the whole team.

Special shoutout to Adam, who always has such a great attitude. The lattes were made to perfection, and the space is large but still feels very casual, with plenty of small seating clusters that allow for quiet conversations. This morning, as we were approaching the counter, my friend was approached by a man. It turned out he was panhandling. It was an awkward situation. My friend, who is super compassionate, had a brief conversation with him and ended up giving him some money. I'm not opposed to charity, but I don't expect that to happen inside a coffee shop. This can be a sensitive topic, but I believe it's not something customers should expect when they are inside a business, and it could potentially keep people from coming back. Like I said, this is a sensitive topic for some people. The business owner needs to know that this is happening, and I'm planning to follow up.

The place is nicely laid out, plenty of places to sit, big windows with lots of natural light, and clean. The few other tables of people were having quiet conversations. The staff that took my order was super friendly. I could tell that they had some form autism (i'm not a doctor), and I only mention this because I think it's exciting to see business that make accommodations for all individuals on the spectrum. I ordered a hot Chai Latte and a Chocolate Croissant. They were both excellent. The chai was the right amount of concentrate, temperature, and had some nice foam. They warmed up the croissant (I asked for a plate). It was flaky with the right amount of chocolate on top and inside. Everyone there seemed cheerful and pleasant.
