    work spaces!
    Evanka A.

    This is one of those places that I would gatekeep if I could, but the way that I walked inside excited to seat myself, find a spot to grind out some work, and grab myself a cup of caffeine for the morning. Wantable Cafe is the ideal, futuristic workspace that I'm surprised more of the Milwaukee suburbs haven't picked up on. The spaciousness of the cafe, the numerous outlets, the cute little pods (there's plenty of pictures from other Yelpers), and the quick QR code menu service (or you can order at the front)- all of which are so important for a conducive-outside-working environment! Moreover, there's a parking lot to park in which is so greatly appreciated when you're driving into Downtown Milwaukee trying to find a place to study. SF VANILLA LATTE: The coffee beans, I'm positive were ones that you could find at Anodyne so it felt nice to be able to bring a piece of another coffee shop to this one and turn it into a working space. The latte was smooth, creamy, and just right. MATCHA LATTE: My friend got the matcha latte which she says to not get again here. My opinion on matchas at cafes is that it really depends on the barista! The drink ended up being more milk than it was matcha powder, which hadn't tasted like it dissolved into the drink. I'll definitely be back :) It helps to get work done when you're seeing other people also on their grind!

    I am so disappointed in this cafe. I used to come here every month due to its ambiance, big working place, and food. The recently updated their menu and seems to be on the lower quality side. Everything is premade/reheated/packaged now (before you got fresh meals). The food quality has decreased with the same or higher prices. They even removed their cute cups. This is just a regular coffee spot compared to before. I'd honestly give it a 2.5 stars just for the working space and outlets. Food and coffee I'd give a 2. Not what it used to be unfortunately.

    This place is perfect for coworking/wfh friends. It's exterior is very unassuming but it's beautiful inside. The coffee comes in cool cans and was very tasty. Perfect pairing with the bagel I got down the street. Service was quick and kind. Definitely will visit again.

    Spacious, open, industrial design, yet welcoming. There are a variety of options for seating in this large space, ranging from pods with sound privacy to little table to big tables to bar seating. Lots of charging stations. Service is prompt, friendly. Coffee is good. Tried streusel muffin which was delicious and avocado toast also very good. Highly recommend.

    A hidden gem in the Bay View area. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Good food and beverages! I worked out of the meeting pod which is first come. I definitely will be returning. Free WiFi and access to the parking lot or street parking. Check them out!

    Very cute coffee shop in Walkers Point! I just got a regular drip coffee and some overnight oats. The coffee was good and the oats we're delicious. You can pick your choice of fruit toppings which was nice. This place is so cute with lots of plants in every window. It seemed like a good place to work, there were a bunch of tables with people and laptops so it seems to be the place to be!

    Beautiful and very spacious venue! Great for small private events and good locations with parking options nearby. Big glass garage doors would be great for summer events and bring in Anyone on the sidewalk.

    Wantable is one of those spots that has such versatile spaces for all it offers. It's great for during the day if you want to work and get some things done at a coffee shops, it offers happy hour for them after work hangs with friends and their food is good. It's been significantly upgraded this past year and I'm here for. The people are great and the vibes are right for a co-working spot. It can get a bit loud at time but they do offer small pods to take work calls in. I'd recommend bringing your headphones if you're needing to tune out the noise.

    Wantable cafe is sort of a cafe but also not. A business that has a cafe in for It's employees that is open and useable to the public is sort of what's going on and it's fine! There is some open seating as well as places at the bar top to enjoy coffee and lighter fare. The seating was all full so we sat at the bar to work and hangout. The chairs were a bummer as they were uncomfortable to me but oh well.. the food was all fairly good and the coffee drinks were pretty good as well. Noise is not too bad either if you have headphones for a work call or something. All in all, it a bad place but I'm not rushing back either.. ‍

    Holy crap this place is cool, best place to study / read / work / eat! Found this place randomly on my way to the HD museum and WOW it's amazing. Beautiful space, easy parking, friendly barista, solid coffee, good food & clean bathrooms.

    This is my spot! It's a really dope coffee shop that also becomes a bar in the evenings that everyone should check out. It is also in my opinion the best WFH in Milwaukee. I haven't tasted too wide of a variety when it comes to all the coffee Wantable has to offer, but the ones I've had have been amazing! I've also haven't really had their food or really looked at their drink menu either. I know now you're probably asking "why is this place so amazing then?" Well read on and you'll find out. Where Wantable shines brightest is it's atmosphere! The cafe/bar is so beautiful. Having garage doors that open and close depending on the weather is such a vibe. On top of this the cafe has so much seating and space. They have a variety of tables and chairs, which I really enjoy the high tables so I can stand and work. There are also plenty of outlets at tables and walls throughout the cafe that makes it super accommodating. Finally the staff is super awesome and friendly. So why is this my spot? Mainly because this is really everything I want in a coffee shop. Great atmosphere, good coffee, and super easy place for me to get work done. Honestly check it out and you will not be disappointed!

    This cafe is a new addition to the Walker's Point/ Harbor District area, and is open to the public - yay! Today, I tried their salted caramel chai (flavorful) and what's probably the best avocado toast I've ever had. They have free wifi, ample seating area, and a small but appetizing food menu. A good find for those of us looking for a quiet reading/working plus maybe adding a meal kind of cafe.

    Have you been to Wantable's cafe in Walker's Point?? Such a great spot to network, grab a cup of coffee and work alongside others in MKE. Work from home model is great but I love humans and this spot gave me an opportunity to feel connected to others at my previous job when I was feeling extremely alone. I'm definitely someone who needs a hybrid version. Their staff is friendly, drinks are yummy and has great food. The space has so many different vibes to it from cosy to communal and has amazing natural light. They have an awesome happy hour throughout the week!

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed Bridgewater yet. I've dined there several times, had the…read moreBridgewater Burger and the Lobster Roll multiple times each, as they are my favorite menu items, but I've also had amazing ribs, steak, duck tostada, crab cake, pork belly, and Chicken n Waffle! Food is always great, and the service never disappoints!

    From visit on: 2/8/26 - late review!…read more My date and I were so excited to try the Eggs Benedict flight. We had reservations for Sunday at 11. Our server was very kind, great atmosphere in the place as well. We ordered a side of the potatoes and they came out nice and hot. Unfortunately, both of our Eggs Benedict flights were lukewarm at best, from the first bite. My date made a comment to the server and she offered to reheat. We initially declined but within a minute changed our mind. Our server was understanding and quickly brought over an extra flight (which I saw her bring from the heating lamps). This plate was also the same temperature. I really don't like to leave neutral or negative reviews, but it's unfortunate to spend money and have a less than par experience on the food we were looking forward to eating. We did take a small box to go and the crab cake heated up later was very delicious, but just not the same as if we had been given a hot meal to start at the restaurant. I've eaten here for dinner and was super impressed with the serving size, but I don't think I'd come back for brunch.
