The National Cafe

Delicious vegan options! I love how easy their menu is to navigate vegan/vegetarian friendly items. Also great for anyone doing gluten free or keto. The coffee is phenomenal, and free refills! Perfect morning brunch spot. Will come back to try out the lunch menu.

Their kitchen is tiny so expect to wait a while if they're busy. Food is always great and the staff is super friendly. I think they have the best ramen in town. The pork belly is high quality pork perfectly seared, and the eggs are amazing. Just be patient and you'll be rewarded with an outstanding meal.

Had the BLT&A... AMAZING! The chips and dip were very good also. Will definitely order again.

Edit: I have ordered here now several times and I must say, they apparently have a great person preparing the food sometimes and then a rather lazy person others. Today is again one of several orders I am rather disappointed with. Bread isn't toasted (which it usually always is), it's plain white bread, not the typical bread, it isn't cut, and I ordered chips and received fruit. Perhaps you shouldn't decide since it's an EatStreet order it isn't important and prepare your food to the same standards each time. Today's is very disappointing. blah.

Ordered two entrees and Chai lattes online, website said order would be ready in 30-40 minutes. Showed up on time, was told the food would be ready shortly. Proceeded to wait another 45 minutes, both the drinks and food were just OK and not worth the wait.

This hipster Cafe would be alot better if they had actual menus and would speak to the people that come in. Also withhold be nice to see an American flag too

A quaint cafe that has great coffee, a cute atmosphere, and good food. Everything is made from scratch and with love, you can just tell. Yes you are going to wait, deal with it. I don't understand why everyone is complaining that it takes so long, it's made from scratch! Besides the point, the owner is an absolute doll and really does care about her customers. Try the macrons, you won't forget 'em!

Went with my sons on a busy lunch Thursday. Salami baguette didn't have the chewy skin taken off the light amount of salami...had to disassemble the sandwich. Onions were not distributed equally. Cheese was not noticable. The taste was great, just wish the execution would have been better. Son's chicken wrap was a good portion and well balanced. Willing to give them another try.

At first this place seems like a hole in the wall, but it truly swept me off my feet. Hands down my new favorite breakfast and brunch spot in Milwaukee. It is friendly for both meat-lovers, vegetarians, and vegans. I was able to sit on the window table on a Sunday afternoon and it was perfect. The sun was hitting our faces and it was a nice transition into a summer Sunday. We both ended up getting "The Hot Mess" - which had an amazing combination of potatoes, veggies, eggs, and the hollandaise sauce WAS AMAZING. The portion was also very big, so I was able to make 2 meals out of it. We both got a fresh batch of coffee that tasted delicious.

This is an awesome little spot to eat some delicious treats!! 😋

Food choices limited no pancakes at all! Food could use more seasoning and could be served hot. I orders the French toast and it was luke-warm. The potatoes were cool but bland no real seasoning! Place atmosphere great!
