We bought a couple of things including a delicious maple popcorn sprinkle that makes me want to eat nothing but popcorn. Staff is milling around ready to help.

There is a huge selection of spices, and when I went, there was a sale. Cool! There are some nice spice mixes to use for fish, veggies, meat, poultry, basically anything you can imagine. I bought one a Tuscan herb blend, then I know I'm going to have to go buy more because it is perfect for grilled veggies. I also got a spicy hot mix for Christmas presents. I'm not about to try that one. There is basically something for everyone. I do want to go to their bigger store. They also sell online.

Stopping into Penzeys on a whim while visiting Milwaukee, I was excited to exit with a bag full of…read moregoodies for myself and to give to friends as a gift. The person working on this particular Saturday afternoon (April 4th 2026) was so helpful as they made helpful recommendations while sharing about their faves. No pressure, just like shopping with a fun friend! I love that the store has tester samples that enable shoppers to get a vibe for the mixtures of seasonings via a sniff. I loved that they had some sale items ($1/small jar) because it enables one to test it out and maybe head back to get a larger size if they wanted to make the spice a kitchen staple. Even when not on sale for $1, the small sizes available are perfect for testing it out in the kitchen. The layout of the store is neat, with everything well-organized. This is a very fun shop to browse while adding to a spice collection.

I'm not sure I understand how everything is organized there, but they did have everything we wanted in stock. The person working wasn't particularly friendly or unfriendly, she was just there. The sales are always good. Personally, I respect and appreciate their political and ethical stance. The biggest downfall to this location is the lack of parking. If only they had a lot... Downtown Milwaukee street parking is such a crapshoot on any day.

This is a mix of doughnut shop, arcade and bar. For the doughnuts, these are mini doughnuts and they were great! We did the standard mixed bag of powdered and cinnamon sugar. You can also get the doughnuts "loaded" and there are tons of different unique topping options. They have coffee and flavor syrups (not true iced coffee or cold brew though!). There are a bunch of arcade and board games as well as a full bar! This is a fun spot! I'm glad they are in BayView!

I'm still a big fan of this place. I took my nieces here on a Friday night, a few couples were…read morethere but it wasn't overly crowded. We ordered a 12 pack of doughnut and were able to pick 4 flavors. The s'mores ones were amazing! We also really liked the puppy chow. While ordering, one niece picked out Bart's birthday cake and I said something to her like oh you picked those because we are celebrating your birthday. I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place. They both said the mini doughnut place was a highlight of their weekend with me.

Great, upscale Thai food! The interior is beautiful, the mural on the back wall is amazing. I love…read morethe chic, modern, and romantic vibes this place offers. Great place for a dimly lit dinner. My brother and I got the chicken pad thai, the short rib, and the royal flower dumplings to start. The flower dumplings were so cool! They were like a sweet/savory dumpling, which I didn't expect, as I'm used to pork dumplings. I really enjoyed the pad thai! It comes wrapped in an omelette - I've never seen that kind of presentation before, so at first I was a bit confused. Super yummy. The short rib was also flavorful and tender, but the flavors just weren't as strong in my opinion as the pad thai. Great service and the wet towel they give to you in the beginning is pretty neat. Would love to come again and try some more! I think it's street parking only pretty much.

We were looking for a slightly fancier restaurant and stumbled on to Room Service. It's…read morepredominantly Thai but also has a really expansive sushi menu. We ordered the gyoza, miso soup, calamari, short rib, crab fried rice, room service pad Thai and a few hand rolls. My wife and I also had the Phuket #3 cocktail. First off, service was friendly and amazingly fast. Drinks came out literally a minute after we ordered. The food started coming out shortly after. The gyoza was pan fried and came out upside down with a giant pancake connecting them. Cute presentation and solid gyoza. The next was the calamari. This was probably our favorite dish overall. Huge portion for an appetizer. The calamari was lightly breaded with togarishi and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Amazingly tender. I got the the scallop, 50/50 and salmon handrolls. My wife doesn't like raw fish and even she thought the handrolls were good. The scallop was awesome. Super sweet with a dash of chili oil. The short rib was our second favorite. Super tender and had deep, rich flavors. Shredding the beef and pouring some of the broth over white rice made a perfect bite. The seafood fried rice was also spectacular. Huge chunks of calamari, shrimp, crab. The pad Thai was only ok. It was too peanutty for me, but my wife and kids also were generally meh about it too. The Phuket #3 was also great. I ordered it first and my wife liked it so much (after drinking most of mine) ordered another. We recently went to a Michelin starred Thai restaurant in SF and while we also really liked it, we all liked Room Service even more. And for about half the price. We'll definitely be back.

Safina was recommended by a friend of mine and holy cow it did not disappoint. My wife and I went…read morehere for our 2nd anniversary as we love Italian food and decided to come in for the special occasion. We were seated promptly and were served with the house prosecco due to our occasion which was a generous gesture by the staff. Our selection this evening were the Fusilloni Al Pistachio and the Penne Alla Vodka. From the first bite of the pesto pasta was an explosion of flavor; the strong, decadent flavor of the basil mixed with the subtle pistachio notes was something I wouldn't forget. The consistency of the sauce made the dish creamy which is sometimes hard to do with pesto. The Vodka pasta was amazing as well; it was paired with mushrooms and spinach. The ambiance was very cozy; the cream city walls, Italian playlist, table decor and energy felt like I was transported to Sicily. Safina captured that essence flawlessly and we enjoyed our experience. Overall, we loved our dining experience at Safina and will definitely be back/recommend to friends and family for a quality dining experience.

It hits all the…read moreflavor and texture profiles I usually want and they are really quick about cooking the food to order. The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup. I love coming here and their little outdoor patio is great when I want to bring my pup or just enjoy the nice fresh air as we eat our meal.

I've been here a few times now with friends and family and I really enjoy the cheese bar. My prior…read morereviews are on another page for the business and spoiler - they were 5-star reviews. The space is cozy and dim and well decorated. The staff are always kind. some are more helpful or informative than others. You can pair the cheeses with every drink on the menu or try pre-paired boards. You can also buy cheeses from the dairy and others, as well as assorted related products at a small retail section or cut fresh from the cheese case. Parking is on the street and can be a pain in this saturated area. The reason for the drop in stars? Prior visits got you more wines and more food to pair it with. This visit had prices steady but fewer wines, less cheese and $1 upcharge for some wafer crackers. I know the economy is not great right now, but this now seems like an expensive place to bring friends, not a reasonable day outing.

It'll turn you into a cheese connoisseur if you're not already one. I fell in love with Gouda cheese as soon as I took a bite. We tried a classic cheese flight board and red wine only flight to pair with the different types of cheese. They made it into a gluten free spread so we had four types of cheese in lieu of the seasoned dried meat and gluten free crackers. The place is inviting, has nice decorations, great for going on a date or a casual catch up with your bestie. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They knew so much about wine and cheese, I would want a whole Documentary on cheese. You can also purchase cheese and other goodies to go! Come on Thursdays, they have a discount on cheese boards!
