Find specialty coffee within walking distance of the spots you're visiting in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has more specialty coffee than most people expect, and its scene is built on a foundation of serious local roasters who have been doing the work quietly for years. Colectivo Coffee and Stone Creek Coffee, both Milwaukee-born, collectively run more than a dozen locations across the metro. But the city's independent scene is equally worth knowing.
