The City Market Café & Bakehouse
8700 W Watertown Plank Rd, Wauwatosa, WI
Crema's Take
“Tucked across from Children's Hospital, this spacious spot strikes a welcoming balance between quick coffee runs and lingering work sessions, with creamy house-made soups and customizable sandwiches that locals genuinely look forward to. The chai lattes with oatmilk and fresh pastries draw a steady crowd, though the kitchen can get stretched during busy hours—it's the kind of place where you might wait a bit but leave satisfied, especially if you're not rushing in near closing time.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

The food and drinks were very delicious. I got the BYO ham sandwich on white bread with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and a side of chipotle sauce. You have the option of a cookie or chips. This was a little over $10 and it was worth it! The workers even bring out your food to…
Stopped by on my way back from running errands. Big line to order but I guess that's a good thing showing they are popular. I got the cobb salad trying to be healthy and an iced tea. Everything was very fresh. Nice presentation of the egg, cheese, and tomato decomposed. …
