Located at the busy corner of 5th and Mineral Streets, Style Pop Cafe has added a vibrant and new experience to this renewing urban neighborhood on Milwaukee's near Southside known as Walker's Point or the Fifth Ward. According to founder and great conversationalist, Roshá Brister, a native Milwaukeean and graduate of MPS and UWM, Style Pop offers its own brand of sustainable roasted coffees from Colombia and Brazil, as well as organic creamers that were awesome to try.
The cafe has a capacity of 75 people who can sit comfortably in chairs suited for hours of reading and sipping, at tables for groups up to four, or in one of their private workspaces with very cool barn doors. They offer high speed internet, alot of big windows for natural lighting, and a patio if one chooses to sit outside. Daily hours start at 7AM.
Style Pop Cafe's menu offers fresh baked goods, egg rolls (which I'll review separately with a lemonade), and a list of every style of coffee in two sizes with many flavor options to satisfy most palates. I ordered a 20 oz, extra hot, french vanilla latte using whole milk and bespoke creamer. The aroma of the beans as they steamed was a delight, full and fresh, while the coffee flavor was robust on a boldness scale of 6 out of 10, complemented by the vanilla and hazelnut syrups. The owner-barista perfectly combined my brew and augments with care shown as if each cup was the best and only one she created that day. A masterpiece with every sip and swallow.
Although it was late in the day, I had two knowing that I'd be setting myself up for a late night, innoculated against sleep by the potency of having the drinks. But they were that good. I was lit for 6 hours and got a bit more work done after dinner...for a change.
Check out the videos and photos, and stop in on your way to work, touring on gallery night, or walking to the Pride parade next month, and experience the refreshing essentials of small, entrepreneurial ownership providing a superior product and high quality service loaded with positivity and neighborly love. I encourage you to drop in before or after a visit to Botana's and neighbor awhile with a cup or two in hand. If Cheers was a special coffee shop in Milwaukee instead of a neighborhood bar in Boston, it would be called Style Pop Cafe. Support small business selling sustainable and fair-trade products like Style Pop Cafe! And congratulations on your very grand...
Read moreStyle Pop Cafe is an absolute gem in Walker's Point, and I can't sing its praises enough! Their coffee game is on another level - whether you're a fan of their stellar classic brews or their incredibly unique seasonal coffee selection, there's something to delight every palate. The seasonal offerings are creative, bold, and always a highlight of my visits, making every sip feel like a special treat.
But the real magic of Style Pop lies in its people. The employees are the friendliest, most accommodating crew you'll ever meet - aways greeting you with a smile and making you feel right at home.
And let's talk about the food - specifically, the Sassy Girl Eggrolls. These are hands-down my favorite thing on the menu, and I'm obsessed enough to grab them every other day! Packed with juicy chunks of chicken, creamy cream cheese, and vibrant green peppers, they're the perfect balance of indulgent and flavorful. So filling, so yummy, and an absolute must-try.
Style Pop Cafe isn't just a coffee shop - it's a place that keeps me coming back for more. If you're in Walker's Point, do yourself a favor ad stop by for a coffee and those legendary eggrolls. You won't be...
Read moreFirst time stopping in. It's located on a corner, with a small sign, and could be easy to miss. Once inside, you get a relaxing, chill vibe. It's not a big place, but they have a bunch of small tables that allow for quiet conversations. Or if you need even more quiet, they have several small rooms with sliding doors that give you more privacy. They also have an outside patio, which would be a great option during warmer weather.
There were a few other people there, relaxing with their drinks or having an engaging chat. Got a super friendly greeting from the owner/barista. Although they didn’t have a London Fog Tea Latte on the menu, she was happy to make it. And although it was the first one she had made, it was excellent. It had the right amount of tea flavor (gotta let it steep long enough), and the milk was steamed well enough to give it a creamy texture. Nice job!
They didn’t have much to offer in the way of bakery, so I didn’t get anything to go along with my drink (love a fresh scone or almond croissant).
Definitely a place that I...
