What is your favorite coffee shop in the Milwaukee metro and why do you like that particular one so much?

Alterra, no contest. They've been voted "Ten Hottest Coffeehouses" by Forbes Traveler Magazine and one of ten places "to get the best coffee in America" by GQ Magazine, and those honors are definitely well-deserved. The one on Prospect Ave. is my favorite, and I'm also looking forward to the new location in Bay View.

I love them not only because their coffee is excellent, but because they do a lot to promote sustainability and prosperity in the community.

Other favorites of mine include Brewing Grounds for Change on Farwell and Rochambo on Brady.

I think my favorite out of the handful that I've been to would have to be Fiddleheads in Theinsville. It has a very nice atmosphere, a very beautiful old building, and the riverside patio is great in the summer and fall.

Try The Nobel on S.2nd st although it looks very granola inside.

For me it is definitely Alterra as well, I like the coffee and the atmosphere. My favorite one is the one by the lake.
I also like Marquette's Brew Bayou, but guess for anyone who is not affiliated with MU it is nothing special. Rochambo is nice, too and Mocha was great, but doesn't exist any more.

I've been favoring the new Alterra in Shorewood, though I like the other locations I've been to. The Shorewood location is easy to stop at on my way to work, and it's quite spacious with a good seating selection. I also like Fixx in St. Francis and Sven's in Bayview, but rarely get over to those parts of the city.

Amaranth on 33rd and Lisbon - they have anodyne coffee and lots of yummy bakery in a cool old tin ceilinged building.
