Stone Creek Coffee - Downer Cafe & Kitchen

It's clear that the owners of Stone Creek are in fact "coffee geeks". If you are looking for the kind of coffee that can transform a morning from bad to best this is the place to go. A perfect compliment to an atmosphere ideal for studying or relaxing in both summer and winter, definitely worth a second visit.

My favorite place for the past three years! Great coffee, food and service! I will miss this place and all the nice people working there..

Of all the places I have been to, Kate (one of the master baristas) made the best V60 pour over I have ever tasted! Using there Oasis blend, I could not have been more surprised by the flavor notes from that coffee! Friendly staff, wonderful environment for meet-ups or work sessions, and the brilliant coffee makes this a must visit for coffee fanatics.

The sandwich’s are great. But I go the cauli hash today to go and there was barely anything in the box, it looked half eaten. You can’t charge 11$ for this much food. Also the drinks are mediocre, the flavors the advertise aren’t strong.

One of my favorite coffee spots in Milwaukee. the outdoor and indoor vibes are both immaculate. Coffee is always great as well.

Great people, great coffee, and increasingly great food options! This has definitely been the spot to hit up on warm weather days to get work done on a patio, but it’s also great when it’s cold out because of ample indoor seating (and outlets if you’ve got a laptop!). So what about the food? It struck me as odd the first time I saw buttered toast on the menu, but this is not your average bread! It’s so fluffy and buttery, mmm, so good! And if I’m really hungry, I’ll get an egg on top for the perfect choose-your-own adventure breakfast (or midday snack).

Lovely atmosphere and architecture. Delicious food menu and coffee. Great customer service. Only down fall is how packed it always is and that makes it hard to find seating. I loved it when they had the Costa Rican breakfast sandwich, but they changed their menu. Other food items I had were the yogurt, waffles, almond croissants, and other breakfast sandwiches; all were flavorful. Just a tad bit pricey for the portions.

I visited on grand opening day, excited to have a better local option to the shopworn coffee chain 2 blocks away.

Service here was good, coffee was very good, and my breakfast was too. Staff was personable. The store and outdoor patio are very well designed and comfortable. There is also a walk up window at the sidewalk that was very popular.

Visited Stone Creek today, and as a Downer resident, I will no longer be going to Starbucks. Food was amazing, pictured are the gruyere ham and egg waffle, and the blackbean sandwhich. The space is beautiful, and the patio is amazing as well, however, it seems a bit chaotic when ordering inside, seems as though there is no direction of where to go or where to wait, and also our food was dropped off separately with a few minute gap between. I'm sure these things will be ironed out, but regardless, highly recommend! :)

First and foremost, their toast is delicious. Like just the best toast. I also got a waffle with bacon and it wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t get it again (also the bacon was more like chunks of ham). What was kind of of concern was when I poured some water in the glasses labeled clean but when I drank out of it my glass smelled weird and my friend’s glass had a lip mark on it. We just switched over to the plastic cups so it was fine, i’d just rather use the environmental option.
