Canary Coffee Bar

What a great little spot. I was in town for a Harley convention and decided to go get a cup of strong coffee. I got an Americano with an extra pool and found a delicious cinnamon knot covered in frosting. What it lacked in nutrients it made up for in flavor. Absolutely delicious! It’s a beautiful little location. Very calm, interior good music plan and spots to sit outside on the sidewalk and watch folks go by. The barista was extremely friendly and helpful, and I would absolutely go back again in a heartbeat! Great job!

Yet again, my commitment to local coffee paid off when I was in Milwaukee for a conference at the Baird Center. This shop is just a couple blocks away (yes, I walked past a Starbucks to get there). Nice vibe, delicious coffee, and friendly service. I will definitely return if I get the chance (they have many intriguing seasonal drinks, I would love to try a few). And bonus: they're open late, until 9 pm!

Stopped in one weekday morning for a hot beverage and some bakery. It's part of a larger building with large windows on the front. There are a couple of basic small café tables out front. Inside is a large space that is brightly lit through the plate glass windows. There are tables set up throughout, mainly for couples, but they could be combined for larger groups. There are also stools at the counter for seating. There wasn’t anyone else in the place when I arrived, so it was very quiet. Got greeted by the friendly cashier/barista. I wanted to get a London Fog Tea Latte, but they were out of Earl Grey, so I ordered a Chai Latte instead. They didn’t have a scone, but the cinnamon roll with icing looked pretty good too. Offered to warm it up, and I said definitely yes. It took a few minutes for the drink to be ready, which means they let the tea steep properly. When it got delivered to my table, I was pleasantly surprised by the latte art in the foam. I have never had a barista give me that special treatment and was thankful. The cinnamon roll was warm, gooey, and delicious. Definitely a place that I would return to.

We’ve come here many times, and it’s one of my favorite coffee shops in Milwaukee. They’re one of the few coffee shops with hours in the evening, which is really nice. Their seasonal drinks are excellent (such as the pictured Black Forest latte). Their basic latte is one of the best in Milwaukee, and their espresso retains the complexities of the beans.

Absolutely love Canary Coffee Bar! It’s easily one of the best spots in the city for a high-quality brew. The atmosphere is bright, modern, and welcoming—perfect for catching up with a friend or getting some work done. Their espresso is consistently excellent, and you can tell they take pride in their craft. I also highly recommend trying their seasonal drinks; they are always creative and well-balanced without being overly sweet. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even better. Milwaukee is lucky to have this gem!
