Likewise Coffee - Milwaukee

Still the Best coffee in Milwaukee. Since the pandemic it's been more bustling than ever, hours expanded. My personal coffee heaven 😇

EDIT: Back in after a hiatus of disappointment and I was pleasantly surprised. Staff still aren't super friendly but there is eye contact and greetings.
The ice tea is excellent and the bakery is tasty.
If I have a complaint it's the music. I know musical taste is super subjective but this sounded like somebody's girlfriend's "absolute fave stuff, you'll like it, really".

EDIT: My previous review was for Kickapoo and I'm not entirely sure if the new name is old management or new. In any case, the airy and friendly vibe is gone. The surly barista couldn't even manage a hello to preface his "what would you like?"
It seems like it's the same physical layout but honestly it just felt darker and kind of sad.

In my continuing exploration of coffee shops in my new town, I have passed by here several times on my way to MIAD but I've always been white rabbit late and couldn't stop in. Today I made a special trip just to check it out. I was not disappointed.....greeted very cheerfully as soon as I walked in (and the server complimented my boots, so there's that). Disclaimer:. My drink of choice is ice tea, not coffee, and theirs is very good. It has flavor and some character. I will try coffee next time I'm here. I didn't have plans to eat but their baked goods looked soooo good compared to the shellacked stuff you see any other coffee places I couldn't resist. The homemade biscuits were awesome. I highly recommend the apple cranberry butter.

The atmosphere is clean and relaxed. There are individual and long tables as well as bar seating along the large windows. Definitely a return visit!

great coffee and cookies!

Cute little coffee shop with great tasting home made pastries. Their homemade biscuits and honey butter are to die for! Small selection in drinks, but they are very tasty and unique. The service is great and they are very friendly, made us feel very welcome! Has a very modern feel and design to the building. Seating area both inside and outside is nice and comfortable.

Great Latte. Wonderful seating for hanging out and getting some work done. Comfy outdoor seating as well.

Wow...just listening to your Npr story,Scott Lucy....stay the task my Friend as shop owner myself..it was you that took the risk and vision..required to make it happen...and not anyone else...chin up, shoulders back , Lights cameras,action....dont forget..the crew will always sit on sideline and point ..the finger when a problem arises..shine on my fellow visionary..Sally Forth..Mark Anthony Purcell Jr.......

My favorite coffee place in the world. Espresso, tonic water and lime is the most wonderful drink on the planet... Thank you Likewise Coffee!

I had a fantastic experience at this shop. Both individuals I spoke with were both very knowledgeable and passionate. I work in the coffee industry and found that the quality of the single origin espresso I received has rarely been rivaled in the shops I've visited.
The fell of the space was very open, clean, and bright, but surprisingly it didn't feel sterile. I wish I lived in Milwaukee just to visit this shop more.

This is one of the best coffee shops in Milwaukee, and frankly that is saying something. Go, check it out, chat up Scott and learn more than you ever thought you could about coffee. It is passion.

Great customer service. I wanted a flat white. They were out of espresso. They used a type of bean from their blend. I didn't like it too much and the barista made me another blend and added a shot, all for free and the taste was much better. It is spacious, modern, clean, and not pretentious. Highly, highly recommend.
