The absolute cutest place! Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff (I believe it was the owner working and she was an absolute delight) if you’re looking to spend your money locally and invest in small businesses, this place is the place to be. What a pleasure it is to live in a city where you can indulge in other cultures and find connection through food. 10/10 new fav cafe in Milwaukee

I'm happy to find traditional Brazilian delicacies in Milwaukee. The pao de queijo was fantastic and the service was great. A very cozy place to relax or work while enjoying your coffee. I’ll be back soon!

Coffee rules on Brady Street, and we have the very best cafés and shops in the city! This morning, I tried Sweet Joy for the first time, and my experience was amazing! Great customer service, and the ambiance is fresh. I had a blast checking out this t place, especially on a calm Saturday morning, too...all of the baked goods were out on display, and everything looked great! Really cute café to visit and start off my morning routine

Really cute Coffee Shop on Brady Street with a plethora of baked goods to pair with your coffee. The staff was very sweet and service was fast. Small space on the other side of the ordering area to hang and do some work on a laptop.

I finally got to check out the newly opened Brazilian coffee shop on Brady Street. This is a welcome addition needed to keep Milwaukee's cultural diversity on the up and up. Everything pictured was very expertly baked and and as authentic as it's Brazilian owner, Marcia.
