I’ve been coming to Roast since I moved to the east side and it is my favorite coffee shop in Milwaukee! Reasonably priced and the workers always have a smile on their face! The playlists never miss either! There’s always local art to look at and some you can buy! My sister and I ordered the Oshi and Radio Milwaukee breakfast sandwiches which were absolutely delicious! We also ordered the Praline and Cream cold brew and a Carmel iced latte which woke us right up!! 10/10 will be coming back

Roast is my favorite coffee place in the neighborhood. Every time I come here I am greeted by warm people who really do make an effort to get to know you. Lucas is very helpful with recommendations. I enjoy spending my days here!

I get soooooo excited when I pull up to an event and see Roast is the coffee vendor. Nice variety of specialty drinks, super friendly staff, and the kiosk is always neat and tidy behind the scenes even hours into their events!

Amazing experience both the coffee and the great vibes!! Lola told me about the menu items and made some suggestions that really helped me pick out some thing that I really loved! The vanilla bourbon latte, was delicious and beautiful. As were all the drinks I saw while I watched this talented barista make our elegant espresso drinks. Thank you guys! We loved having a hot drink at an outside concert venue too, genius idea! I’m getting a Hot Chocolate next!!

We were in the neighborhood, visiting some local gardens. Needed some refreshments and a bite to eat. This place had lots of great reviews so we stopped in. Right away we were greeted by a friendly and helpful server. (thanks Andy) I asked for a London Fog, and although they didn't have Earl Grey, we worked it out. Got several smoothies a bagel sandwich, and a couple of cheese scones. Everyone liked what they got. The seating area isn't large, but it's spacious. There were a bunch of other people there, but everyone was being respectful, quiet conversations, and no loud phones or TikTok video (what a relief). Definitely a place that we'd come back to.

love it here! the coffee is really high quality and it is beautiful inside, the staff are super kind as well and super stylish lol - it does get very crowded around 11am-12pm but it’s still really nice - excited for outdoor seating to open up as the weather improves :)

Very cozy cafe! We got in just before there was a rush of people. The staff was very pleasant and we were served delicous drinks and yummy bites. I throughly recommend The Championship bagel sandwhich. It was super tasty! The image I attached was of The Oshi bagel sandwhich which was also good, but if I had to go back for one it'd be The Championship. I also ordered a Winter Spice Latte with regular milk and my partner had the Cafe Miel with oat milk. Certain oat milks are not my fancy but I actually really enjoyed the taste of the latte my partner had. I learned that they use chobani oat milk which was new to me. They also serve fun flavored rishi teas as well if you're a tea person!
