Likewise Coffee - Milwaukee
232 E Erie St, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“This downtown Milwaukee roaster excels at the fundamentals—their espresso-focused drinks and pour-overs are consistently excellent, with baristas who clearly take real pride in their craft. The bright, plant-filled space strikes that rare balance of being genuinely welcoming for both quick coffee runs and extended work sessions, making it feel like a true neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another cafe. Fair pricing and thoughtful modern vibes round out why locals consistently rank it among the city's best.”

top 3 coffee places in the city their cups of coffee are consistently above average. i order a 16 oz vanilla latte you can tell the baristas have experience and take pride in their work prices are fair and represent the quality of service and product seating is always available when i visit there is street parking. you may have to park a block or two away but it is worth the short walk. the location gives you a beautiful view on your walk. this is a top recommendation to anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee and a welcoming environment.
Great coffee shop with lots of plants and a spacious layout that’s perfect for working, chatting, or just hanging out. The coffee and pour-overs are delicious, and I really appreciated the variety of gluten-free options. The baristas are knowledgeable and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Solid spot I’d happily return to!
The service and atmosphere were friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, they didn’t have an option to warm up the food, which would have made a big difference. The prices were reasonable, but the muffin I tried—the Coffee Cake New York Style—was pretty dry. Overall, a decent spot, but there’s room for improvement with the food quality.
Great modern vibes in this coffee shop downtown. Lots of open space, lots of people, plenty of tables, airy vibes. Hard wooden chairs to discourage prolonged stays, though it looks like students with laptops aren’t much dissuaded. Coffee and latte were good. The cashier wasn’t the friendliest of people I’ve met, but not rude or anything. Overall vibes are good, but not my cup of tea.
First time here. Came with a friend on a Sunday morning. At this time of day, it was relatively quiet (with the exception of a rumbling motorcycle or two). The place is bright and cheery. Inside, there's lots of natural light from the big windows. There are several tables outside and plenty of other seating inside. It wasn’t too busy inside, and we got to order right away. Got a friendly greeting from the baristas. We ordered a couple of London Fogs (a little vanilla, a little lavender, and extra foam) and the Citrus Ginger Scones, although they had other scones that looked equally delicious — Breakfast Sausage or Spinach Feta (can those really be scones?) The London Fogs came out perfectly, and they even did some wonderful latte art. The extra foam was plentiful and luxurious (no skipping here). Decided to take these outside and sit in the cool morning air. Nice spot that allowed for a long, quiet conversation. Great first experience. Would definitely come back.
