What People Are Saying
from Google"Such a beautiful spot! The outdoor seating by the river is absolutely lovely, and inside is split into two perfect vibes—one side is super cute and cozy, and the other has a fireplace that makes it feel warm and relaxing. I really love the atmosphere and would definitely come back. The only thing I wish is that they had more vegan options, and it would be great if non-dairy milk swaps weren’t an extra charge. That small change would make this place perfect!"
"Really enjoy the chai lattes at Fiddleheads. I've enjoyed every food & snack item I've tried. Love the indoor & outdoor seating options. Parking can be hard to find, as the parking lot is quite small for the volume of business they do here. It can be quite tight getting in/out of parking spots."
"All time best study/work spot in Thiensville. In the fall and spring I spend way too much time here studying and trying new drinks and baked sweets. The staff are the best! I tell everyone to come here because the coffee and atmosphere are so good. The food and baked goods are great too, I've never been disappointed with an order. I can't say enough about the staff, they make this place amazing. The shop itself is always clean and welcoming, and the view of the river is beautiful."
"We’ve barely been back in Milwaukee for a week and I think we’ve been almost every day so far!! This is truly my favorite coffee spot in the Thiensville area - actually totally worth the drive even if you are outside of Thiensville! This location sits right on the river - so inside or outside, or the outdoor winterized patio with fireplace - it just doesn’t get better than this! The service is always fantastic - everyone is so nice and bends over backwards to accommodate. I’ve brought work here and sat for a few hours during the winter and it’s such a cozy welcoming place! Really it’s a must come kind of place! For drinks - definitely try the iced mocha! But I like their lattes almost any way you order - iced or hot. They do offer a variety ofdifferent milk options. I’m always oat milk, but they have other options as well. The pastries are really good. Chicken pesto is a lunch favorite. Chocolate chip cookies are one of my daughter’s must get. And if they have the blueberry lavendar scone, try it!! - it’s SO delicious! Last note - they have a bike repair station. That is absolutely adorable and ridiculously well appointed.!! We’ve used it to put air in the stroller tires, but they have all the tools! I’ve added a photo here, because there were some tools I didn’t even know you needed for a bike!!"
"Love the atmosphere of this little coffee spot. The drinks are well made and the patio right by the river is a very pretty setting to relax and caffeinate. The staff is friendly and fast which is good because they are pretty busy most days. Parking can be a bit sparse, but they do have a to-go order pick up area if you're on the move"
