Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. | Wauwatosa — Restaurant in Wauwatosa

First time at Anadyne. This is what a expect from a good coffee shop. Personal and friendly baristas, a good selection of coffees, lattes and teas, a reasonable offering of various fresh baked items and pastries, and a subdued atmosphere where you can have a quiet conversation.

This location is medium size shop, with a long bar like counter for ordering. It has some natural light from large windows in the front, and some more windows in the rear. You can find seating both inside at small tables, or outside on cafe size tables. (the back is secluded which would be nice on a warmer day).

On this visit, I ordered a London Fog Latte, and tried one of their fresh Cinnamon Knots with Icing. They did a great job with the London Fog (little vanilla, little lavender, extra foam). First time trying the Cinnamon Knot, which they warmed up. I really enjoyed all of the dough layers, with generous amounts of cinnamon. (The icing itself was more of a distraction, it was hard and simply flaked off).

From the looks/sounds of things, there are many regulars that stop in for quick up or mug refill. Lots of friendly chatter happening throughout. It appears to be a local favorite.

I love Anodyne! I've been to the other 2 locations, but this was the first time at the Tosa location.

Coffee is great as always. I had the iced americano since we were sitting outside on a humid/hot day, but hubby likes his hot coffee on a mug.

they have outside sitting both in the front and the back - the back is super cute. It seems to butt into the neighbor's backyard, without a fence or anything... we saw a simple grill hanging around the neighbor's side and thought it might be a little awkward for him to grill when there are customers in the cafe patio. Coincidentally, on the other side of that house is the back patio of a new restaurant (which I don't think is open yet - "Draft & Vessel). Maybe it's not a residence after all... I don't know.

Anyway, the back patio is quaint and cute. There are stairs leading to a parking lot off in the back. Everything was very green and lush in May 2022.

Great coffee, great atmosphere, oh, and the staff were super nice too. What more can...

I love me some Anodyne coffee, especially right from the source. This was my first experience at the Wauwatosa location and unfortunately, I'm hard pressed to return. Love the coffee, love the outdoor seating, and it wasn't very busy for a Saturday which was kind of nice and helped to enjoy the outside atmosphere. I don't want to call out the employee, but just before taking our order, one of the employees was rubbing their nose and mouth with their hands prior to getting coffee for another customer and never washed their hands after. I opted not to leave and still ordered since it was a lengthy drive, but please reiterate about cleanliness for the sake of...
