Riverwest Co-op & Café

Co-op had a vegan pretzel french toast bake special for New Year's Day! Pretty cool that they were open for Brunch in the first place and this special was so yummy. I keep thinking about the soft pretzels with bread pudding consistency and the crunchy streusel topping. I know some might think it's really sweet but I loved it. It's such a good feeling to be able to eat french toast without worrying about what the milk will do to my stomach. I need this to be on the menu more often or someone needs to send me the recipe lol! Also, the cafe gave us a voucher for next time once we realized they forgot the gravy to go with our biscuits. Always happy with the service and vegan options.

I love the Riverwest Co-op and Cafe! They have great local, organic and vegan/vegetarian options and it's such an important resource for the community. I volunteered here and got an extra 10% off. Highly recommend checking it out and supporting the co-op!

This grocery store & Café has all of the things the hipster in me wants! (Check our the grocery portion for yourself - you'll understand.) The cafe is a very small, order at the counter, serve your own coffee, 4 tables total, bus yourself, dingy kind of space BUT it is totally worth it for the food. I came yesterday for the first time and I came back today because I want to try everything on give menu. The Tempeh Reuben was messy but delicious - marinated organic tempeh, sauerkraut, your choice of vegan or dairy cheese, vegan 1,000 Island dressing, toasted rye bread, and I made it spicy with their kimchi and spicy sauce. The flavors and textures were great and it was very filling. I opted for the Mac & Trees as my side which wasn't my favorite because it was a lot of carbs and I do eat cheese but still tasty. The next time I got the Bi Bim Bop to go (a Korean-inspired dish I like anywhere I order it, because Kimchi!) They use organic brown rice & organic steamed veggies. Their barbecue sauce was nice and tangy. I opted for the tofu (or you can choose an egg.) Nothing too special about their version, but it was definitely healthy, warm, and satisfying.I will be back. Anyone have a favorite I should try?

CoolArtsyOff the beaten pathLocalDeliciousVibeLotsa foodI came for brunch and it was a real treat, not busy at all so I'd like to see more people come and check it out instead of some jammed hipster or bougie place. This is just as good!I've heard they have some other killer burgers and sides and stuff, will have to return for more meals!Many (all?) of the desserts were house made. Our sever actually said that she made one of them! Be sure to walk around and notice the colorful things around the place.

The vegan ultimate breakfast Sandwich is a SLAMMER!! The vegan sloppy Joe is a slammer too I never sat down and ate there but I recommend anyone who looking for vegan food, to go check em out lol be blessed everyone!

While exploring Milwaukee we stumbled across the River West Co-Op and Café in our quest for tasty gluten free vegan grub. We were not disappointed in this decision!The Co-OP itself was very small but well stocked full of goodies. Plenty of food, home cleaning, and clothing items! The employees were by far and a way the best part of our visit. They were all so friendly and welcoming! The Café is adorably small but has a jam packed menu full of items for everyone! I settled on the gluten free vegan "tuna" melt salad and a peanut butter smoothie. My partner devoured two of their chocolate chip cookies and a vegan Bahn Mi. My "tuna" melt was pretty tasty. I make chickpea "tuna" a lot at home and they hit the nail on the head. I think they may have used Daiya cheese as it had a distinct flavor but I could be wrong. The meal was very tasty but I am unsure why it was served with crisps. They seemed like a bit of an after thought. The smoothie was heaven in a cup. It tasted like peanut butter nice cream which I am a huge fan of. My partner loved his sandwich. He said it wasn't an authentic Bahn Mi but it was still delicious! What blew him away were the cookies. He moaned to high heaven while eating it. To be honest, it was weird to witness!The prices seem pretty standard, the food is decent enough, the atmosphere is comfy, and the staff is AMAZING. Certainly a place I would come back to if I lived in the area.

This place has been part of the community for as long as I can remember! My Mom would tell me vintage stories about shopping here. Today, I'm indulging in neighborhood memories; a sanctuary of fresh, real food! Both the market/store and Café is amazing! I recommend.

Cafe is open again, Sunday brunch, and daily service from 9 to 2. Deli case full of goods when cafe is closed
