Valentine Coffee Roasters Third Ward
189 N Milwaukee St, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“Valentine Coffee Roasters is a single-origin focused roastery where the coffee itself takes center stage—the kind of place where a black coffee is treated as the main event rather than an afterthought. The grounded, unpretentious atmosphere and skilled baristas (their cortados are excellent) make it feel like a real coffee destination rather than a caffeine pit stop, with a simple but satisfying breakfast menu and mid-range prices that don't feel gouging for the quality you're getting. Tucked on a bustling corner in Milwaukee's Third Ward, it's become a word-of-mouth favorite for anyone serious about their cup.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Lovely coffee shop in downtown MKE. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The prices were mid-range. 10 dollars for a veggie soy breakfast burrito, with the alternate choice of pork chorizo if you’d like. And my 16 oz iced latte was 5 dollars, if you want flavor it would be 0.75…
First time stopping in to Valentine’s. It was a Saturday morning, and the Third Ward was bustling with activity. The coffee shop is on a busy corner with plenty of foot traffic. It’s a beautiful brick building with a welcoming entrance and large windows. Inside, there’s lots of…
Discovered this great coffee spot a little off the busy stretch of Broadway. Solid baristas (excellent Cortado, by the way) and a decent sized but simple breakfast menu with egg sandwiches, burritos, bagels etc. It’s a nice airy space with lotsa windows and tall wood ceilings,…
