Great coffee, better service. Convenient location if you live on the East Side. Ordered a drip coffee and an iced vanilla latte - no complaints, both were really great. They serve Anodyne coffee which is one of my favorites. Cozy atmosphere inside and has a very neighborhood-y feel too. They also had some fun specialty drink options that I want to try the next time I'm back!

I've been here many times since I moved here a few years ago, but I apparently never reviewed! It is in a great location. Super walkable from campus and for those of us living on the East Side. I've had one of their breakfast sandwiches (I believe the only vegeterian one. Not sure). It was quite tasty to me, and the price was moderate. The service is consistently friendly and efficient. My orders always come out pretty quickly. The space itself small-ish but in a cozy way. Always students and others working on their laptop at the numerous tables and bar seating. It's a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The only negative (I think this is a me thing.) is that, when I go to work for a long there, I am always freezing. I can only hang out for about an hour or so before it's too chilly for me! Delightful spot to grab an excellent coffee, close to campus and wihtin walking distance of plenty of restaurants.

Listen. There are so many good coffee shops in Milwaukee. And, Roast is absolutely on the list with the greats.We've been meaning to try this spot for a while and finally made our way here on a recent Saturday morning. So glad we did.Their espresso beverages? Spot on perfect. I got their harvest latte, which puts pumpkin spiced lattes to shame. It was a beautifully flavorful spiced delight. Their breakfast sandwiches?Also--spot on.They have several on menu. I got one that mentioned having mustard on it. Weird, I thought. But, I'll give it a whirl. It was perfect. There's plenty of tables and a bar by the windows. It would be a great spot to meet some friends or to work alone. Or, in our case, to enjoy a game of Saturday morning cribbage over a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich.If you haven't yet--take the time to make your way here. You won't regret it.Get to it!

This is a fantastic idea and a great coffee option. Ryan posted up backstage at the Fiserv Forum and so I just had to try it out and man am I glad I did. In fact I'm about to go have another cup as soon as my rehearsal is over!!Okay, so now I'm on my 2nd cuppa and it just keeps gettin' gooder!!It's a kiosk that the venue sets up and they just give out complimentary coffee, etc. and we, the "customers" benefit just being around such a unique and fun experience of coffee-ness!

This is my favorite secret go-to for coffee. Their lattes are amazing, service is fast, friendly and genuine. It's excellent location is great for a little break with a nice spot in the sun no matter the season.

We ordered the Gold sandwich and LOVED it. Also got two coffees and they were both great. Menu is small, but mighty. Service was really quick. It's dark inside, kind of a hipster vibe. But welcoming nonetheless.

Cozy chill coffeeshop vibes. I enjoyed going to this neighborhood & community favorite coffee place in the early morning before 7:30AM. It was not busy but there were some customers who apparently frequent the place (possibly every morning). This morning I got a brown sugar & lavender nitro cold brew. When I got the drink I felt like the color should look darker and the texture should look thicker for being a nitro cold brew. But when I tasted it - oh wow the flavors are all there. I barely tasted the coffee because it was so floral. I enjoyed it.

Roast is a nice little coffee shop that is a great place to sit and study. They have bagel sandwiches that are quite good. Service is usually quick and the staff is very friendly. Oh and the coffee is great!

Roast has quickly become a favorite of mine while living on the east side. The place itself is so cute with local artwork for sale on all the walls-- I'd enjoy hanging out here even if the food wasn't fantastic, but it is! Coffee is strong. Employees are funny. Everything you want in a local shop. Always happy to be here!
