Fiddleheads Coffee
790 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused Milwaukee gem earns serious respect from coffee enthusiasts for its bold, clean brews and meticulous pour overs, backed by a genuinely warm crew that treats regulars and walk-ins with equal care. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine pit stop and a lingering workspace, with cozy corners that invite you to stay while pastries and fresh sandwiches (the avocado is a standout) keep you satisfied. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where your order is waiting when you need it and the baristas actually know their craft.”

I'm a Chef for more than 50yrs in Milwaukee.The quality of your sandwiches is garbage.The lack of meats is atrocious.You should be Embarrassed to serve and charge too much for such poor quality.Revisit your standards. Every 4 and 5 star review only mentions Coffee.I went there for Food. And was really disappointed
I stop at this location a couple times a week and to be honest, I’m usually running late for work. My online order is ALWAYS ready for me. The baristas who work here are incredibly kind, and it feels authentic, not forced. Also, the prices are decent so I try to tip more. I used to go to Colectivo on St Paul, but I’ve had too many occasions where I waited 20 minutes for my coffee—which would be placed on the non-online pickup counter—getting cold, and I’d have to ask a busy barista where my coffee was and they usually didn’t know. Anyway, this never happens at the BMO Fiddleheads, give these workers a raise, they’re pros.
Coffee roaster and brewer hobbyist here from out of town. Quick stop for a coffee during tourist walk. Very strong coffee (got an Americano) that was not bitter so was good IMHO. Quick service too.
Fiddlehead Coffee is a delightful spot that combines a cozy atmosphere with ample seating options, making it an ideal place to relax or get some work done. Whether you prefer a quiet corner or a communal table, there’s a variety of spaces to choose from, perfect for both solo visits and group gatherings. During my visit, I tried the pumpkin chip muffin, and it was simply delicious—moist, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by my cup of coffee. The coffee itself was also tasty, with a rich flavor that made for a satisfying experience. Overall, Fiddlehead Coffee is a fantastic destination for coffee lovers and those looking for a welcoming workspace. I highly recommend stopping by for a treat and a good brew!
Very friendly staff and the stylings are great. I've had lunch there a few times and everything has always been fresh and tasty. Decent prices too. I recommend the avocado sandwich and Italian soda!
