Stone Creek Coffee - Downer Cafe & Kitchen

I absolutely love everything about stone creek coffee, especially the downer st. location. The staff are wonderful, and they pay attention to their customers and treat me as someone they personally know. They are caring, very good at what they do, and invite sincere conversation while they prepare your order. I also appreciate their support for the LGBTQ community, as I am a transgender person new to the community myself, the staff make me feel so welcome and safe from judgement etc. I could go on and on with endless praise, I feel that strongly about the company. Oh, and the coffee is always perfect! Keep up the great work!

I have been visiting the Downer Cafe while the Shorewood space is being remodeled. I am in love with the peach, blueberry and granola yogurt. Outstanding!

Received nothing but the best here. It's a high-end coffee shop without arrogance. It's also absent of the corporate cafe phoniness, or the hipster grunge of other local shops. Customer service was awesome. All three women behind the counter served me with eye contact, a smile, a thank you, and a "have a lovely day." They even brought the to-go order directly out to me while I sat as opposed to plopping it on the counter and bouncing. The place was spotless and there's a ton of space. My Boston Latte, which, to my knowledge, is not served anywhere else in the Milwaukee area, was ready in a timely manner and was the perfect temperature. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it's definitely a high-end take on a greasy fast food item. The arugula and green onions add an extra pop to the savory flavors of the base ingredients while the brioche bun was soaked in butter for that "greasy" feel. Yes, it was greasy but I knew what the grease was and it was deeeeelicious. I couldn't have asked for anything more from my experience. I will be back and I can't wait to have the same experience.

I pre-ordered a coffee for this morning before work. The online ordering process was a breeze! When I went to pick it up, the signage made it super easy to know what window to go to and the staff member was very friendly. They covered my coffee top with a sticker too, which I appreciated and made me feel extra confident in their new safety procedures. They've been super thoughtful in their reopening and I think a walk to Stone Creek will be my Friday tradition now. Thank you guys!

I love this place, good drinks and food.
LOUD MUSIC. The only thing that I would suggest is lowering the music inside more. Really loud. I find myself talking really loud over the music. Otherwise great place!! lots of seating areas to work and hang out... inside AND out.

Kitchen is from 6am till 4pm

UPDATED 8/5
Still love the place, and yes the music is at level that I can enjoy sitting inside and studying or talking with friends. Thank you. Also can't go wrong with the food and drinks here.

I love this spot! The special tea is always interesting, and their food is delicious. I recommend the waffle with ham, egg, and gruyere. It is a delight!

Amazing place for coffee. They were really helpful during Covid to lift up mood. They have a nice sitting place outside which one can enjoy while having thier coffee, they have good spacious sitting arrangements in the shop too. I ha e always seen a line outside it, it seems most people like the coffee.

Perfect coffee, great vibe, friendly service. I love the outdoor seating! As for the menu, it includes interesting, appetizing, delicious, and healthful options. One of my favorites is the Avocado Spicy Egg Sandwich. I'm anxious to try the House made Yogurt Bowls. In particular the Lemon, Rose, Pistachio Bowl and the Acai Smoothie Bowl. I should mention that there is also a very nice selection of sweets to go with the coffee such as waffles, pastries, and cookies. I'm guessing you'll be as pleased with this shop as I am!

Very nice atmosphere with a range of seating options inside, outside, or outside under a roof. All the drinks I've tried have been excellent, and though I haven't had any food it all certainly looks good. It's nice to have an alternative to Starbucks on Downer after such a long time.

LOVE their indoor/outdoor patio. When I discovered this over the summer of Covid last year, it became my go to place to work outside. Great drinks and the food is underrated. Decent amount of outlets and wifi is reliable.
