If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. This coffee bar is hands down my favorite spot in Milwaukee—and honestly, one of my favorite places anywhere. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve been transported straight to a café in Italy. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of soul. Whether I’m catching up with a friend or hunkering down to get some work done, it’s always the perfect setting. The drinks? Phenomenal. Every cup is crafted with so much care, and you can genuinely taste the difference. And don’t even get me started on the food—fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. But what truly sets this place apart are the owners. They’re not just talented—they’re kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can feel the love they pour into every part of the experience. It’s rare to find a place that feels this special. If you’re in Milwaukee and you’re craving a little slice of Europe (with even better hospitality), this is it.

This has to be one of the coolest coffee shops in Milwaukee. Everyone is really nice, service is fast, cool vibe. This is the real deal for coffee afficionados! The oatmilk latte, cortado & strawberry iced matcha are some of our favorites. We love to bring a book or laptops, grab a coffee and just enjoy the vibe and great coffee:) Tons of seating - check out second level if you want to have more of a hidden space. Street parking. Check out the events they have going on!

Since we had such a good experience last weekend with the bay view location, we decided to try this location. Not as successful. The latte was great, but that’s it. The Sfogliatelle tasted old, dry, burnt butter taste, i do not recommend it. The atmosphere was ok, i dont think if it is the heat outside, humidity but there was a moldy smell that was not pleasant. Most likely not coming back to this location.

This is a great coffee bar experience. If you are looking for an elevated coffee, this is the place to go. The vibes are also immaculate. The seating on a Saturday morning is limited due to a crowd, so just be prepared. I really love the aesthetic, it gives European mixed with old American architecture. I went with a large group and we got a variety of items: Tiramisu Espresso, Pistachio Latte, Cold Brew Old Fashioned, Strawberry Matcha, etc.

We had a lovely time in this beautiful Italian-style cafe, reminded me of my trip to Italy. I love the old-world charm of the place. The bartendress was super helpful when I asked if the Chai was vegan (most are made from concentrate that contains honey) and she let me look at the Rishi carton to read the ingredients, and it was vegan! And deeelicious! Rishi knows how to do tea right, and I'm glad Vendetta knows they are right to serve Rishi. We sat upstairs for a quiet conversation and the place eventually filled up on a Thursday night after work hours. It was acoustic open mic night and a lovely couple sang some great tunes. Parking can be a bit difficult to find as the neighborhood is busy, but don't give up, it's worth finding a spot to enjoy this cafe. I only had a Chai Latte with oat milk, but my friend who comes here often had a Panini that he said was excellent. Looking at their menu online, it doesn't appear they have vegan food offerings, but the vegan Chai Latte is superb.

Really enjoyed this coffee shop! Love the vibe! Almost not enough seats. The Sicilian coffee was amazing 🤩 probably one of the best specialty coffees I have had in a long time. Great place to work for a bit if you have a good battery! The croissant was good but there are better croissants in town. Awesome place to meet people for a drink!

My friends and I recently stopped by in the afternoon for a caffeine break. It was the perfect place for caffeinating and catching up. There was lots of comfortable seating available. The iced pistachio mocha from the seasonal menu was delicious! My friend got the chilled tiramisu drink and it was also quite tasty.

Yum! So I come into this place and it's like 10am and they have some kind of awesome techno thumping above. They have upper and lowers seating, and the place is really cool, overall. Great vibe, lots of wood, very eclectic. And the best thing about it is the espresso! It's absolutely delicious, not bitter at all; truly amazing. I had the tiramisu which is a seasonal drink. Check it out!

Absolutely lovely coffee bar. It is a neat space with a small stage towards the front for night time events and an upstairs with additional seating. Lots of tables for catching up, chilling out, or getting work done. They have a great listing of coffee drinks hot and cold, alcoholic and non. They also come out as delicious as described. Having just arrived into town, this was my first stop at the recommendation of my friend. That first sip of latte was heavenly, strong espresso flavor that was not watered down or overpowered with syrup. A great coffee shop is such a valued find! If you are hungry they do have pastries and small sandwiches as well. I am so jealous I do not have a spot like this near me. This place is fantastic and I highly recommend a stop.

- good treats, ok service, nice ambiance - not too busy on a saturday afternoon - would come back for the pizza and other drinks Went here for a nice lil treat after seeing lots of posts, and it was a pleasant surprise. I got the Prosciutto Pizza and it was a nice hefty serving and pretty tasty to start the day. The crust had a nice crunch with each bite and was soft with each chew. It had a pretty tomatoey sauce and the flavor of the prosciutto, balsamic glaze, and arugula was a tasty combination. The dough may have been a bit much as it was quite filling and I needed some help finishing it! Also would have appreciated better cuts as I had to almost tear the slices apart myself. I got the Pistachio Mocha with the pizza and it was a good drink to wash everything down. The pistachio flavor was subtle and the mocha added a deep chocolate flavor to fill me up after the pizza! My pookie had gotten a Pistachio Croissant and it was a bit of a miss. I am not too familiar with pistachio cremes, so the filling was a bit of a surprise with how *unripe* it tasted. It was almost citrusy, but was not too tasty for us to finish. For her drink, she got the Caffè Pedrocchi for the mint chocolate flavor. The hot drink was also not for our flavor profile and also not what we were expecting. The mint flavored cream added a very subtle flavor when mixed in and made the cup just taste like a shot of espresso. While I was happy with my picks, pook's were not really for us. I would like to come back to try the other drinks and the sandwiches. The interior was nice and the loft set-up they had was a cool spot to be. Love how spacious it felt and that they are open late! We are also not coffee people, so take what we say how you will! Looking forward to coming back and having a more milky treat.

One of my favorite spots for a girls night/date night!! Lots of seating, good food, live music- what more could you want! Their espresso martinis are the BEST in the city! We tried their tiramisu espresso martinis- they tasted like you were drinking dessert!! Their flatbreads are amazing too.

Great spot that I've visited a few times for cocktails. Most recently, we stopped in to share an Espresso Martini flight with Tiramisu, Salted Caramel, and a newly added Pumpkin espresso martini. They were all excellent, and the Tiramisu came with a lady finger ! The vibe is great for meeting with friends, going on a date, or enjoying some alone time. A musician was setting up as we left, so it seems they have live music Friday nights. Check it out!

Came on a Friday night with live music! Loved the drink selection and even though staff forgot my drink they were sure to make one for me quickly. I had an espresso martini and a French 75. Both were fantastic !

One of my favorite coffee spots around! Their coffee always tastes high quality and smooth, and they regularly introduce unique seasonal drinks. They have cocktails too, and I love that they accommodate options to make drinks decaf/non alcoholic. They do have some limited food options (croissants, pizzas), but I haven't tried them. I would primarily come here for the drinks and ambiance though and would probably choose to eat somewhere else. Vendetta is also a great place to do some work (free wifi, plenty of seating on 2 levels) or meet up with some friends (card/table games available to choose from). They do get pretty busy on weekends and evenings that they have events. If you are attending an event, I recommend arriving early to guarantee a seat!

the worst part about traveling is leaving behind a place you love. after arriving in milwaukee, my wife and i needed some coffee as a pick-me-up. luckily this spot was nearby. we got an espresso martini and a pistachio mocha and they were one of the best martinis and lattes we've ever had. the vibe is so cool too, we don't have a lot of these like converted industrial buildings back home so to be able to chill in this super cool atmosphere was great. the baristas are super friendly and kind as well. we came back here two more times out of the three more days we spent in Milwaukee. and we usually rotate spots so you know you're good when we come back all the time. the upstairs area and the one by the bay window are so cute too. nothing we got disappointed it was all so good. please come to San Diego we need it!!!

What a cool new addition to Walker's Point! My spouse and I stumbled in on a Friday night and it was a wonderful surprise to encounter a full coffee shop and relaxing venue that was open late. We decided to skip another cocktail in the neighborhood and opted for espresso drinks. The menu was impressive and creative (rosemary, almond, chocolate and espresso in my drink). They also offer local craft beer and wine. The space is inviting and perfect for a group or even just a date. It seems they have jazz and live performances on certain days, which is another big plus. It has a lot of original character, and I'm glad to see a coffee shop focused on quality in Milwaukee. I hope they keep the hours--I will definitely be back.

YES! I adored this coffee shop as they serve both espresso and coffee liquor drinks. We stopped in here before a ghost tour to grab the tiramisu espresso martini which I had seen advertised on social media. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint as it came with a lovely cookie on top. If I could go back today, I would (but I'm not a local). Therefore, if you are in the area, this is a must stop. The shop itself is very basic with large tables to remotely work and visit along with historic natural brick which is quite common in this area. Enjoy!

I love this place for late-night studying. During my recent visit, I ordered a caprese sandwich and a hot Caffè Sicilia. I've been to their location in Wauwatosa before too. I ordered and LOVED their Caffè Florian iced (fun fact: I've even been to the Caffè Florian in Venice!). Unfortunately, my latest experience at Vendetta in Walker's was a bit mixed. My hot coffee was cold by the time I got it, even though I picked it up as soon as my name was called. I didn't love the caprese sandwich either--the tomatoes didn't taste fresh, and while the pesto was good, I think some basil leaves would have added a much-needed pop of freshness to the somewhat bready sandwich. The atmosphere was also louder than I expected for a weeknight, with a music show and a cribbage tournament happening at the same time. While not Vendetta's fault, it did make it a little less enjoyable. That said, I love their menu! It's extensive, with pastries imported from overseas and high-quality coffee. I've had their imported pastries at their Wauwatosa location--highly recommend. This location's upstairs seating is another big plus with a upper level perfect for settling in. I'm definitely planning to give it another try and order something new next time!

Stopped in for acoustic music night and had a drink. Very chill spot. Music was good. Drinks were well made. Our group of 3 easily found seats and enjoyed ourselves. They don't have servers so you order at the bar and pick up your drinks when ready. It's a small space so not a big deal. Come check it out if you're looking for a chill spot to hangout or do some work.

Vendetta is by far my top favorite coffee bar in Milwaukee!!! They offer breakfast and lunch food options with a wide variety of drinks/cocktails. My favorites include the tiramisu latte, lavender cold brew, and espresso martini (one of my favorites in town)! The summer seasonal menu came out with the strawberry matcha which was so delicious. The light strawberry flavor was subtle but paired very well with the matcha. Their biscottis are a really nice option to pair with your beverages, especially the espresso biscotti. The breakfast sandwich we tried was simple but had overall very good flavor as well. The staff is always so nice and they play the best coffee shop music (ex. Jazz, low-fi etc). They also have weekly jazz nights which is a fun evening activity to check out while sipping cocktails. 10/10- I will always recommend checking out Vendetta at any hour of the day for a relaxing and inviting place to sip and chill. Bonus points for being dog friendly and having a lovely outdoor patio ;)

I could sing Vendetta's praises all day! Vendetta is my favorite place to get coffee in Milwaukee. They always have creative seasonal drinks to try, and I have yet to try one I haven't loved. The baristas are super knowledgeable and friendly and always make a stop at Vendetta a pleasant one. The Walker's Point location is absolutely gorgeous, and has Wifi which makes it a workable cafe as well. I haven't been able to try the espresso martinis or negronis yet, but I plan to go back to try those ASAP. I believe they have live music on most Thursday evenings as well. I tookk a barista class at Vendetta a few months ago, and learned a lot about espresso and what makes a great coffee--and how to make one yourself. I'd recommend taking that class as well.

Thank you, YES, as I found this spot due to excellent reviews in downtown Milwaukee on my visit, and I couldn't be happier that I did. The place is beautiful! Of course it smells divine when you walk in, but the lighting is lovely, the feel is classy yet comfortable and the folks behind the bar are so chill and nice. The menu looked awesome and by recommendation I tried a chocolate cappuccino along with a fresh baked (from Italy) chocolate croissant... and holy moly.... Both were DIVINE! The gentleman who made my drink was cordial, warm, and very friendly. There were folks in there having a meeting, some just sitting with a computer, I popped in to spend time to write a report for work but in the meantime, enjoying the flavor of the Capuccino, how airy it was, and the combination of the melty chocolate in the foam, seriously I literally felt like I was enjoying a Capuccino at an Italian cafe. You must try here if you love coffee and love a seriously attended cup.

What a wonderful space! They feature many fun drinks, I want to try them all. I had the Florentine tonic today and haven't had cold brew and tonic before, and this made me a huge fan! The pastries looked amazing as well, though I didn't try them one of the people I was with had a croissant and said it was melt in your mouth delicious. They also offer food and cocktails later in the day, so I will have to come back to try that out. The food list looked to be paninis and pizza which sounds like the perfect combo for me.

Good food and coffee, very nice ambiance and great service. I was surprised to find sfogliatelle here. They were pretty good, not as good as the ones I've had in authentic Italian bakeries in NY and Chicago, but I would definitely order them again.

Vendetta is our go to for a true and authentic espresso experience. Their espresso is always spot on and superbly made. The vibes and setting of the coffee shop are cozy and tickle my industrial brain with all of the original building elements still present including the beautiful floors! Service is always quick but the baristas are so personable and a joy to interact with. If you're a local or just passing through you need to stop here.

One of my new favorite spots to work and have a coffee or read and (also) have a coffee. I love this space with its Old Milwaukee feel to it. I'm not sure what this building once was, but it feels perfect as a fancy coffee bar. Every barista who has served me is always super friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. Whenever I'm there a lone barista seems swamped. I have no idea how they manage such service, all alone, and with plenty of customers in line. I've met up with a book club here and adventured on my own. The drinks are a bit pricey but well worth it. It is also in a fun area so you can pop in for coffee, go next door for a beer at Indeed, and then have dinner at Camino's. Highly recommend a visit. A great working spot for those "working from home" types. Just significantly more fun!

I was introduced to this super cool coffee shop through a Yelp event and, for that, I am super grateful. It's a coffee bar with a large indoor space - lots of tables on the main floor and there's a second floor with additional seating as well. In addition to coffee and snacks, they have a bar with really good drinks, pizza, and sandwiches. We stopped by here after a date night at Glassnote next door for a bite to eat before we met up with a few friends for more drinks. We got a margherita pizza, which took about -25 minutes to get to us. You would think that for a coffee place, the food would be mediocre, but that is NOT at all the case! The pizza had a really nice thin crispy crust. The sauce was full of flavor and the olive oil on top was *chef's kiss*. The cheese was sparse (like a true Margherita), but the whole pie was easily one of the better pizzas I've had recently! They also had a live band when we stopped by, which added a very cool vibe and for a Saturday evening, it was super busy with all kinds of people - some socializing, some working. We didn't imbibe at this visit, but have had their espresso martinis before and they are truly top notch and I highly recommend!

This is my favorite coffee place in Milwaukee, which is a tough competition! Everyone is so nice. I love how it looks inside - I consistently find myself inspired. My favorite espresso martini. I love the $1 standing shots of espresso at the bar. Marocchino is a perfect treat, as are the pastries. I love treating myself here! Someday, I hope to do a photoshoot here!

I absolutely love this coffee shop. This location is near several other bars and restaurants, so definitely a great area to explore. I've been here twice now. The first time I ordered an Italian inspired latte that had a light orange flavor to it. I also recently attended the Yelp Community Event, where they served espresso martinis and pizza that they offer on weekends. The martinis were wonderful. I was also pleasantly surprised by the pizza which was delicious, especially the sausage and fennel pizza. I will definitely be frequenting this coffee shop, both for their drinks and food!!

I've now been to Vendetta twice in one week so safe to say I love it! This cozy spot is the perfect place for a friend date, study session, or work meeting. The coffee is yummy - especially the fall seasonal drinks! The pastries caught me eye and I'll have to get one next. The service is a little slow but it's a nice spot to hang out.

The first three reviews all refer to Vendetta as a gem. Gem is not a word often seen. Thus, if you're not suspect, I have some swamp land to sell you. I have been to this coffee/liquor bar twice, and both times the wait was inordinate, but even worse, the staff was flippant and unconcerned. We ordered two drinks, and it was more than 30 minutes until my wife, who is usually more patient than me, went up to the bar to see what the problem was. The two dudes working ignored her presence, their back turned, as if this sixty-one year old woman was invisible. By the way, the bartenders were gabbing and not mixing drinks. They didn't care in the least. We waited ten more minutes and left, sacrificing the $28.00 the two cocktails cost. It was a surreal experience, but since it occurred on two separate occasions, it became reality. Vendetta encourages revenge, and I suggest no one should give them business. Although I live in the hood and want every business to succeed, Vendetta should close and let someone who wants to succeed take over the lovely space. BTW, a band was setting up, and Vendetta would be a great place to listen to music if anyone employed gave a rip about the customers providing them a living. It's a travesty, and the city should have a department that closes businesses due to laziness and entitlement. The proprietors and employees should be ashamed of themselves.

Loft ceilings, industrial wooden beams and metal railing caught my eye, but the sign for "Best Espresso Martini" sealed the deal. Vendetta Coffee Bar is a beautiful coffee/cocktail space. In the evenings, it transforms into an cozy music space. The place is cozy and industrial looking in a warm way. We were fortunate enough to check it out during the morning on a Saturday and the full menu of drinks were ready to be served, no judgement! Some of the drink menu were espresso based which I don't normally come across, were unique and eclectic. A coffee tonic, espresso negroni and of course, the espresso martinis started off our day drinking in Milwaukee! "Espress-ologist" was super helpful on the menu and ensured we had a good time. The execution of the drinks were fun and elegant! Definitely recommend anyone who dig the coffee/drink/music scene to check this place out. Great ambiance and excellent service.

Went here very randomly. I saw in the sign they have beer, coffee, and were doing live music. The venue itself is very cool. Giant ceilings, marble appearing tables, and older but flashy decorations. It almost seemed like it was a grain house. There menu was hard to find. The worker wasn't overly helpful. Then they only had 2 Italian beers (amber and pils). They have many Negronis, which were tasty but took a long time. On their website now they have cans of Enlightened and Indeed beer. That may be new so look for those. The live music was too loud and we were the farthest away. It also seemed like random people so maybe it was open mic night.

We visited Vendetta in Walkers Point on a Friday night for a fun coffee and to check out the space. Live music was playing this evening as well, which prolonged our visit significantly! Vendetta has games on a shelf at the back of the room so we played a game of scrabble, some Uno and a couple other card games. The coffee drinks were unique, tasty and artfully presented, the vibe was relaxed yet lively and the band was perfect with their jazzy/ reggae beats. The baristas were all super friendly and helpful, even when the line was nearly going out the door. We appreciated the water station throughout the night. Parking can be a challenge on busy nights but doesn't take too long before a spot opens up nearby. We left Vendetta that night already excited for our return back!

Oh okay, I get the hype now. Very cool, trendy little coffee shop tucked away in Walker's Point. I didn't realize this was the old Movida until I stopped in - I'm so glad a new business claimed this unique space because it deserves to be enjoyed. I popped in on a Wednesday morning to get some work done, and was immediately greeted by the kind gentleman behind the bar. He noted that he'd be with me as soon as he finished up making the drink he was working on, and directed me to the menu. It's a pretty simple, straight forward line up of cafe drinks. And really, who needs more than that? I'm always happy with a good ol' fashioned latte so that's what I went with. The employee working did however mention he'd happily create pretty much anything so for me. Nice to know when real coffee connoisseurs are taking your espresso order. Shortly after my order was paid for, I was handed a 16oz mug. I personally love when cafes offer mugs anytime you're planning to stick around for awhile. Something about it is just homey and personal. The drink itself was certainly enjoyable. I hear their bakery items are imported straight from Italy as well... yum! I'll have to return to try one. The coffee bar was fairly empty when I arrived, maybe five or six tables taken. There are plenty of options on where to sit, included the front window area set up with vintage furniture, as well as the loft above the bar. I chose to head up there because it seemed coziest, and it was! Plus they've got outlets for your charging needs which is always appreciated. If you're looking for a spot to come on a coffee date, read a book, or post up for a bit on your computer, definitely give this place a try.

I've been to and enjoyed the Vendetta location in the Tosa Village, so I was excited to try this newer location in Walkers Point. What a wonderful addition to Walkers Point! Came here on a weekend morning during the holidays for a little coffee and cribbage. We ordered downstairs and then found a table upstairs in their loft area (that overlooks the rest of the place). We found it a bit chilly downstairs but upstairs was perfect. We both ordered one of a peppermint latte, which was on their seasonal coffee menu. It was minty deliciousness! It came with crushed candy cane on top! The coffee is strong and delicious and the atmosphere is delightful. And, they also serve cocktails in the evening! Get to it!

I've been to the Tosa location, so I knew the coffee would be good here! We love to try their different seasonal drinks. The service is always great - the baristas are happy to make recommendations if you aren't sure what to get. The decor is so cute and the darker colors are complimented with the natural lighting which overall makes it feel very cozy! Will have to come back to try the pizza.

Walking in it's super spacious with high ceilings. A lot of seating and a upstairs. I love how bright it is. Me and my mom shared a caprese panini w/ chips. It was pretty good the tomatoes were cut thick which I really like. They also have board games on a shelf so we played a bit of scrabble. The guy was nice who took our order. They came out maybe like 10 minutes after we ordered them. I enjoyed myself. I'd deff recommend it.

This Coffee Bar took over the spot once known as Movida and is utilizing the entire space as a cafe. It's a great spot for those looking for a study spot, especially if meeting with a group. Or for a business meeting or just a causal hang with friends. Two levels to enjoy and seats next to the large windows at the front. Their bakery items are sent from Italy (frozen before sending) to provide a unique experience not found in the area. They offer coffee drinks of course, but they also provide boozy beverages as well. If you're looking for a new coffee shop to check out in Milwaukee, add this to your list!

Vendetta in Wauwatosa is my usual stop but if I make downtown I always make sure I stop here. This location is super cute and welcoming and I enjoy hanging out in this space. The workers are just as friendly and make amazing drinks. I've also enjoyed coming for the live music in the evenings and trying different cocktails. I love how they have events and are connecting with the community.

A cute little coffee house that also has some food and wine! I firmly believe all coffee houses should have this stance on food & wine so they can thrive at night as well. The coffee I ordered was delicious. It was an iced coffee with a flavor pump of vanilla with an extra shot of espresso. It gave me the jolt that I needed to get me through after a long day of travelling. I was also starving so I ordered a cheese pastry...when in wisco! It was creamy, light, fluffy and exactly what I needed for a small snack. Inside was filled with lots of dark wood and would be a good spot to bring your laptop and work or catch up with a friend.

Great Italian cafe in Walkers Point that also serves beer, wine and cocktails. Their bakery goods are shipped from Italy. I always go with the chocolate croissant, it's delectable! In addition to the amazing coffee drinks they whip up (Cappuccino and Affogato (espresso over gelato)​ being my go-to's), they also make some awesome cocktails. I recommend trying the Negroni because they get creative and you have the option to pick from 5 different kinds on the menu. For a twist on this classic cocktail go with the Mezcal. The interior is warm and inviting and it's got plenty of room so you can work, hangout with friends or catch some live jazz music most Friday and Saturday nights. Great drinks, great location, great atmosphere. Can't go wrong no matter what time you drop in.

Coffee was very good, though pretty small size for the price. The panini was pretty basic and definitely overpriced as well, kind of wish I hadn't ordered it and had just gotten a pastry instead. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service on a weekday afternoon. Pretty nice spot to relax with friends, read a book, or work/study if needed. The barista was personable and attentive, so 5 stars for service. I would come back for the coffee, not so much the food. Note they do have pizza but only serve it thursday-sunday.

Had the pleasure of attending a Yelp Event at Vendetta. What a spot! Best martinis in town, plus who knew they had such a great menu?! The pizza was fantastic and they had a lot of options. Absolutely loved the live Jazz. The inside has an industrial yet trendy ambience with plenty of seating options. You can choose a quiet spot or bigger tables. It's great for any night! The bartenders were amazing all night and kept the drinks flowing. Even when busy they tend great attention to detail and making sure every drink is perfect. Can't wait to return!
