Jo's Cafe
3519 W Silver Spring Dr, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood diner in Thurston Woods serves up Wisconsin comfort food classics like Hoppel Poppel and country fried steak alongside surprisingly excellent coffee that keeps regulars coming back. The cramped corner space buzzes with the energy of a true community gathering spot where you can grab a quick bite in under 10 minutes or settle in for a leisurely breakfast, though patience with the pace is part of the charm. Jo's rewards those seeking authentic diner warmth and honest, hearty food over polished efficiency—it's the kind of place where families and long-time neighbors feel equally at home.”

Small corner breakfast nook, fast and pleasant service. I got the meat lovers omelet, from order to served was only 8 minutes. Highly recommend for a quick bite.
Lovely long time diner located in Thurston Woods neighborhood. The Hoppel Poppel is excellent, as are the country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Polishing off an already big, healthy meal, you can't resist their fresh cinnamon rolls.
Eggs are sooooo nasty rice taste like a cardboard box and that bacon taste like I’m drinking oil I’m so upset today and to top it off they don’t have utensils to eat the dog food with had to stop at a near by restaurant!!!!! 0 out of 10!!!!
Slow service and not even a welcome or any of that place was small and very overcrowded because of it.
Some of the best coffee I've had in a long time! Friendly, small place with great food including breakfast all day. A neighborhood gem!
