Fiddleheads Coffee
8807 W North Ave, Wauwatosa, WI
Crema's Take
“This Wauwatosa location shines as a gathering spot where thoughtful espresso work meets genuine hospitality, with baristas who remember to be warm even when stretched thin. Beyond the solid traditional lattes, you'll find creative specialty drinks like turmeric chai lattes and the kind of breakfast sandwiches (including gluten-free options) that make lingering over a pour-over feel like time well spent, whether you're nestled in sunny outdoor seating or meeting a friend inside.”

Excellent place first time ever been there. Got a french vanilla latte and a BLT sandwich
Been to several of the Fiddleheads in Milwaukee. I typically find it to be a very good experience. The locations are all designed differently, and each has qualities that make it unique among other Fiddleheads and local coffee shops. This particular location has plenty of space for different size groups. You can choose between the downstairs area, an upstairs space, or a nicely appointed outdoor patio. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The baristas are usually high quality, but occasionally you will get someone who is either in training or using their own techniques. Today was a good example of that challenge. My usual London Fog Tea Latte was a surprise. You can check out the pictures. Whoever made it steeped the tea in the cup and then poured the steamed milk over the top, instead of removing the steeper and then adding the milk. No worries. I went back and they were happy to fix it. The reworked one was a bit cooler than I like, but the texture was much better. The bakery here is good too. There is a nice selection, though it does not taste as fresh as if it were made on site. I always ask to have bakery items warmed up, which I think improves the taste.
My boyfriend and I stopped in today 12/9 around 10am and we were greeted by two wonderful baristas who were super nice. We like your breakfast sandwiches and that you offer gluten free options! The coffee is also great and the service is fast! The T-shirts are dope- please consider making sweatshirts for the winter!
Great service even while visibly understaffed. Shout out to the two working today - you did an awesome job. Tumeric chai late was nice. The outdoor seating is great - sunny and shaded options. Multiple levels. Theres a limited parking lot.
Nice place. Good coffee. Food was disappointing though. Ordered a turkey sandwich and there was hardly any turkey meat. Sandwich tasted good, but for $12.00 you'd expect way more meat. Had to clean off my own table. Place was not busy on a Thursday afternoon so unexceptable in my book. All in all you pay high prices for not much in return. Three stars is justified.
