1848 Coffee
13575 W National Ave, New Berlin, WI
Crema's Take
“Tucked among residential streets in New Berlin, this espresso-focused roastery roasts its own coffee in-house and balances approachable classics with creative specialty drinks like their standout iced Santa Fe beverage. The staff genuinely takes time to understand what you're after, whether you're grabbing a quick cup or settling into their cozy, rustic space for an unhurried morning with fresh pastries and a pour over. It's the kind of neighborhood gem that feels like a third place—clean, friendly, and consistently excellent.”

I visited 1848 Coffee Shop for the first time and wasn’t sure what to order, but the staff was incredibly helpful. They asked about my preferences and recommended the iced Santa Fe beverage — and wow, it did not disappoint! It was sweet, delicious, and had just the right amount of caffeine to help me power through the work tasks ahead. The atmosphere was perfect — quiet enough to read and focus while I waited, and when my friend arrived, we stayed for a while because the seating was so comfortable. It ended up being more of a productive meeting space than just a casual coffee stop, which was exactly what we needed. Great drinks, friendly service, and an ideal environment for both work and conversation. I’ll definitely be back!
I drive past this place on my way to my grandparents and have wanted to stop in, we found a perfect Saturday morning too. It kind of sticks out as there are houses and apartments all around, parking lots is a good size and there is a good amount of tables outside. Inside are more tables and a wall of bags of coffee for sale. Inside and outside are lots of seats but we were talking and wish they had some comfy chairs to sit in and chat. The menu features a good amount of options for different coffee and tea drinks with various syrups and extras. There are a couple of seasonal type specials too. There is a small bakery case with treats from Beans n Cream in Madison, but there isn’t much food otherwise. A couple of Kind and Cliff Bars. There is a basket for food pantry donations as well and a local business bulletin board. When we stopped in shortly after 8am on a Saturday morning there was a steady flow of people. The line moves pretty quick and our order was ready in a short amount of time. I got an iced chai latte and my husband got a London fog latte and a breakfast scone. The scone was alright, filled with classic breakfast flavors, but not our favorite. The staff were great in explaining where the bakery items come from and so friendly. I do wish they had some other food items available but for coffee/tea, it’s a great stop! Overall a good coffee shop but I wouldn’t really stop in for more than that. I would stop again for a drink!
Such a cozy spot. The workers are very friendly and on point. Their drinks are very good and tasty. They offer all types of syrups and flavoring. Bathrooms was clean. The outside patio is a good touch too!
Cozy, classic, clean, rustic atmosphere. Friendly staff. Super good coffee. Great spot for a quick cup of coffee or buy some of their own roasted (they roast their own coffee in the back of the store) bean coffee.
First time here. Met a friend and had a cups of hot tea. Didn't get any of the baked goods, but they had a nice selection of donuts from the National Bakery. Friendly and efficient staff. There wasn't a huge amount of seats, but enough tables and space to be comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to stop in again.
