Crema's Take

This Black-owned Milwaukee gem goes way beyond coffee, serving up soul food breakfast dishes that have customers raving—think perfectly crispy salmon croquettes and catfish and grits that justify the wait. The vibe is warm and unhurried, perfect for lingering over a traditional coffee drink while soaking in the genuinely welcoming atmosphere and stellar service. Rise & Grind feels less like a cafe and more like finding your new favorite neighborhood gathering spot.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.
