Awesome atmosphere! Relaxing. Lots of outlets . Food was great! Falafel burger was great but the bun was way too big! White bean chili is a must!

Briana King

This Alterra has free wifi . This makes it a great place to study off campus! It can be a little hard to find a table but d you wait around long enough you can get one.

Beth Graham

Grab a lemon lifter (sportea & lemonade ) and a seat in the indoor patio (has a garage door, if you've been wanting one) to feel like you're outside when the weather does want to allow you out.

Everyone here is really nice and friendly . I just wish they'd sell bananas again.. Other than that everything's perfect here!

Kat Pummill

New communal table in the middle allows for much more seating. Get here before 9 on a weekday to snag a spot at your own if you are coming to do work.

Epicurious

The cafés also serve as community meeting places, playing host to free Monday night concerts by musicians from the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Read more

The falafel sandwich is fantastic. Try it with their cool cucumber dressing . And if you're not in the mood for coffee , try the citron green iced tea !

If you have an iPhone use Siri to warn you when you parking is about to expire. Simply say, "Remind me that my parking expires in 1 hour." It will save you from tickets.

Christopher Brooks

Fantastic frappe and chocolate milk shake . Iced coffee is as good as intelligentsia as well .
