Ellas Cafe
, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“Ella's Cafe is a welcoming Milwaukee institution that's evolved into its own distinctive vibe—part cozy bistro, part sophisticated lounge where regulars keep coming back year after year. The drinks are the real draw here, from expertly crafted specialty cocktails like their legendary cosmopolitan to thoughtfully made coffee drinks, all paired with genuinely delicious food that punches above typical cafe fare. It's the kind of place where you can linger for hours, whether you're meeting a friend or settling in solo, and leave feeling like you've discovered something special that's authentically its own thing.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

1st timer! Nice restaurant, nice atmosphere, interesting location based on parking. Parking is somewhat of a hassle which for me personably would stop me from going. We were a party of 3 and spent a total of $95 for lunch! Gratuity of 18% is added and labeled as “Service charge”…
