They have the BEST vegan biscuits and gravy. It rivals the best regular biscuits and gravy! The smoothies are amazing, as well.

This location offers great service and phenomenal food I recommend it to anyone.

Not actually open when their hours say they’ll be. Who knows, maybe this place is great, but it’s always closed when I try to go. Maybe update your google if you don’t want to open.

Looking for a Vegan place to meet my taste requirements. This place has over 4 stars on Google. Drove from Waukesha to eat here.Did not disappoint! Great environment. Large selection of food. And I tried 4 different things. Came here with someone else and we were both very happy. Fast service, friendly staff. Hot delicious food. My new favorite go to vegetarian/vegan place.

Very friendly and helpful employees. And the cafe has delicious food and smoothies

All fresh Organic fruits and vegetables. The customer service was great and authentic these people really care

Omg love this store and the restaurant. Vegan Mac and trees, smoothies, teas and tasty ice cream. I love this place!!

The phamous Philly with Vegan cheese was amazing. I people watched for a while and enjoyed the bottomless coffee.

Im so lucky to have this place right around the corner from me! They have everything you would need to make a wholesome dinner and the most delicious to-go food Ive ever eaten. Everyone that works there is so kind! I love Riverwest Co-op!

We come greenbay from florida, always fly to milwaukee just to come here. Open for breakfast, luv pancakes, tofu scrammble. Killer big bowl soup

A great oasis for vegans, and especially vegan travelers. Being on the road and eating plant-based can get tricky, but MKE has this covered well. We had Tofu Scramble, biscuits and gravy, and French toast. It was a beautiful day, we sat outside and enjoyed conversation and some sunshine. I think the food could be better overall, but judging by the amount of business I also understand that keeping up with high demand can come with slightly less attention to detail. Bonus: picked up items for our hotel kitchen while there from the Co-op. Ill be back next time we are in town!

So lucky to have this In our neighborhood!!! The proper place to dine if your afraid to eat meat 🥩 for whatever reason! Not strictly vegan in the Cafe but almost all plates have the option... Decent enough grocery selection just hope someone someday will talk these folk into carrying some humanly raised antibiotic free meats 🍖 or something besides offering the fresh turkeys 🦃 for Thanksgiving (which are out of this world FYI)...

Nice place with organic options on the menu.

I love this place. Friendly people and good food. There is dine in and take out from the cafe. Hot coffee. The co-op has bulk food, grocery items, & produce. There are sales often as well. Even though it is small there are lots of choices. If you are a co-op member you can special order items & order in bulk.

It was good and I’ll return. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy and vegan sour cream with a side of potatoes. Biscuit was a bit hard, I’m not sure if it was fresh baked or from yesterday but that’s my only complaint.

Oh my lerd!!! The co-op cafe is THE BOMB. Used to live across the street, but I always always always take the time to grab a notorious BBQ tofu sando when I come to town

Great selection and folks

The best quality food and people are here. One of my favorite destinations in Milwaukee. Pick up some house necessities while you get some dangerously delicious, unique food. A must-see place for all, especially locals.

A tiny place, but every item here is well-chosen. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and I feel much safer shopping here than larger stores during the pandemic. Great options for people who value local, organic, and/or vegan food.

An excellent choice for vegan or vegetarian! Breakfast, lunch or dinner served inside the cozy cafe oy enjoy the nice weather on their ampl sidewalk cafe! Weekend brunch is not to be missed. The attached grocery/health foos retail store stock all the staples plus supplements. I always enjoy the soups of the day & the various deli salads & vegan sides. This is a co-op, staffed by many volunteers so be sure to tip generously. You cant do better than a meal & a stroll through the historic Riverwest Neighborhood.

A priceless pillar of the community. Great food & friends

Co-op rocking it in the age of covid-19. They keep it crowd free, not an easy task in such a small space.

We love the atmosphere, it very much created by riverwest culture, the restaurant is excellent (closed due to covid atm :( ). The coop is the only place we know of that still has nutritional yeast in bulk

I am new to being vegan, my girlfriend has been vegan for awhile and as we are new to the Milwaukee area wanted to try Riverwest Co-op. We loved it. I got the biscuits and gravy with the vegan sour cream. I was amazed. The biscuits are delicious, they and the mushroom gravy are definitely homemade. The gravy is a brown gravy that I feel you would normally see on mashed potatoes or something like that and not a breakfast dish, that said I would still order it again and smile with every bite. My girlfriend got the tofu breakfast scramble with veggies. She couldn’t get enough and finished the plate. She was full but wanted more, it was so good she couldn’t get enough. The grocery store is pretty cool as well. We walked around for a moment and found a couple blue sky sodas to enjoy with our meal. You order in the cafe and pay in the store, bring your ticket back and give that to the cook when they call your name for your meal. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to try other things on the menu.

We luv the riverwest co op! the vegan kimchi rueben is my fave! also the dried apple chips from the store are heaven

Ive been vegetarian since 1974. This is a dont miss place luv it. Best soup usually at least 2 kinds almost a meal in itself, Breakfast rocks. Huge pancakes melt in your mouth. Tofu scramble potatoes tofu sausage. Been there many times in last 3 years Everything is good. Ruben sandwich casadia. I tried most things on menu.

You wont even miss the meat in the awesome vegetarian and vegan sandwiches here! Only about four tables as it attached to a grocery store.

Easily my favorite place in Milwaukee. Im from Minnesota and Volunteering here has given me the gift of a community. BUT! That aside, the food is absolutely spectacular and the chefs work hard to meet people were they are. I have a food allergy and I feel safe here. Also the gorcery area is full of local delicious treats. Dont even give it a second thought support this neighborhood gem and eat delicious food too!

I really love the food from the cafe! I have tried many options and have yet to be disappointed. I would highly recommend the vegan pancakes....they are so delicious, and my mom (who is not vegan) preferred them to her pancakes. I went vegetarian a few months ago, and this place has been amazing to go to for filling and delicious options.

Came here for brunch and really enjoyed everything. Prices are really good for prepared food (the grocery side is a bit more expensive), and everything we ordered was amazing. Never knew seasoned tofu could be so good, and the vegetarian sausage could have fooled me. Will definitely be coming back for brunch again.

A really cool vibe, lots of different organic and vegan options I havent been able to find other places. The cafe has DELICIOUS food and smoothies! A bit higher priced, so I cant go every day. But its definitely a place Ill go to treat myself.

Awesome people awesome food support fair trade and active in the community

Delicious, fresh food! I am not vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or organic. I eat at McDonalds more often than I eat here. But I actually look forward to eating at the Riverwest Co-op Cafe! The grocery selection is wonderful, with many hard-to-find items. The bulk coffee selection is tops (buy bulk on Thursdays!) If youve never been, stop in and give it a try. The super-friendly staff is always ready to help and answer questions. Going to the Co-op is one of the highlights of my week!

This place is awesome for vegans and vegetarians. Have had multiple experiences with rude workers in the restaurant portion but most of the employees there are very nice and helpful. Highly recommend the Port O Milly sandwich.

Has lots of vegen, gluten-free, and dairy free options, amoung others. There are items from the local Milwaukee area too. Their cafe in the back has excellent menu items. And I really appreciate how the staff treat to COVID-19 pandemic seriously. Good stuff as usual.

I have zero dietary restriction outside of not being able to survive without Mac and Trees, Mock Tuna, and Bim n Bop/bbq tofu...

The cafe at the Riverwest Co-Op is the best vegan breakfast in town. The biscuits & gravy are so good its hard to force yourself to order anything else on the menu, but its worth doing, because the other menu options are all excellent. The only gripe is that seating is limited and its brutally cold inside during the winter.

I order the tofu scramble every time. My coworkers recommended this place and we all love it. Everything is always so delicious. They’re about to make me go vegan.

ONLY STORE YOU NEED

Hi everyone,Ok this place is amazing! If you visit or live in Milwaukee and you want to experience local lifestyle in one of the nicest areas of Milwaukee, yes I recommend you this place.Most of their food are vegetarian and organic. I recommend the cafe! If you are not fan of this kind of food, probably if you give a opportunity to this place can makes you change your mind.Hope this review helps ! 🤙🏽

This cafe has the best food ever. The Bi Bim Bop is out of this world as well as the Bahn Mi. Their garden salad is so fresh and bountiful. I have no idea if they follow recipes for their daily soup specials, but they make the best soups ever. Great people, great service and great food. I highly recommend! Whenever I am in Milwaukee I make it a point to stop at Riverwest cafe.

Cozy spot that has a very Wisconsin feel to it. Ordered about half of the breakfast menu one morning and it was all fantastic, especially the french toast.

My dream of what every small neighborhood should have is exactly what’s the Riverwest co-op brings. Healthy organic options with a kindness for our works both in the food they sell and bake in their cozy cafe.The vegan pancakes and the vegan biscuits and gravy are awesome. Thank you for providing another great milwaukee option.

This is a place that truly supports the commUnity by being a place to buy as locally as possible without going to the actual farmers market. This is the only grocery store where people know me by name and notice when I havent been in for awhile. Volunteer supported, they have a great cafe with wonderful cooks. Home-grown, small, intimate, inclusive, and there is rotating art in the cafe and locally made retail items supporting local artists!

What a cute neighborhood co-op. Awesome selection & they serve great food. Very trendy.

This place is amazing! Great little shop with lots of natural options. The cafe attached is also sweet. They serve vegan options and play great music while your dining.

Great little corner grocery store with organic produce and all the specialty foods for vegetarians and vegans. The Co-op Cafe has some of the best vegetarian and vegan food in town. I consistently have excellent meals there. I really cant rave enough about it.

The breakfast muffin sandwich is to die for. I would easily come back to this place for breakfast every morning. Lovely staff and neat atmosphere

The photo is the Co-op Building a few winters ago. This is a great place to shop for healthy food or have a vegetarian meal. There seems to be a post of a photo of a toilet. I did not post that photo, it is a mistake and I cannot get it taken down. Vince

Good vegan made to order food. You feeling like you have community and support here...Lots of options and they offer samples. ..

Having no desire to eat hotel Continental breakfast when I brought my son to college, we googled ideas for vegetarian breakfast. We had no idea what to expect. We were thrilled to find a small, casual space with a delightful menu. I had a huge upside down blueberry pancake & fantastic Chai tea. He had French toast & coffee. We were very satisfied. I would recommend it to anyone,

Great little place to buy groceries. Selection is more limited than a big store, of course, but you can find all the essentials. Also a focus on local foods and they have bulk products available, too. Plus vegan café. Delicious. And you can order food with real cheese and some non-vegan things if you are so included.

This Place has the best vegan food Ive ever had. Actually, its the best food that Ive ever eaten. If I lived in Milwaukee, Id go there every day. My favorite meals are the Ruben and the VLT. Breakfast items are just as good as the rest. I highly recommend this place. Best cafe ever.

I wanted to like this store, and can appreciate a little grit, especially in a co-op, but... The limited produce (what I want to buy the most) was old, wilted, and in dirty containers. Nice to have as a corner market if you live in the area, but I wouldnt seek it as someone who lives elsewhere. I know the grocery market is difficult, and I want to seem them continue, but they should look at other smaller, successful co-ops, such as those in Stevens Point and Eau Claire, for how they can improve.

UPDATE: I was disappointed. Ginger cabbage soup was too spicy to eat. Asked for sourdough bread. I got some of that but also RYE which I hate. Nasty mouthful. Black beans were slightly under cooked. All the food in the case was crusted over. Seems the main agenda of the employees is to play annoying music too loud. Such a let down.Old review: Impossible to find food this good anywhere else. This place is, however, having some growing pains due to its popularity. Hopefully they find a way to accommodate their growing fan base.

Food was well prepared vey tasty. A few dairy free and gluten free options. There is a lot of soy on the menu. I like the fully stocked grocery store next door. They seem to have everything. Local garden produce. Almond milk from different sources.

I just went for the first time & it was the most magical experience! AMAZING vegan food, such friendly people volunteering there. I loved it & cant wait to go back! :D

Love this place. Great vegan and vegetarian options. Call in ahead on busier days like the weekend.

This is my go to place for a sandwich or when I need ripe and ready to eat produce. The Reuben is my favorite of all time. They staff is always friendly and has a cozy feeling throughout the whole store.

They dont carry milk, would be convenient if they did. Kinda discriminatory towards curtain diets and I dont like that vibe:/

Real good food and real good groceries. Vegan and organic stuff.

The best market in this area with wonderful natural foods and a friendly cafe to boot. Use member #007 if you need one. Try the Ruben sandwich, its fantastic.

Small but comfortable restaurant and grocery store. The food was the best with good size portions at reasonable prices. Definitely a must for vegans and vegetarians in Milwaukee.

Do you like eating paper? Well this is the place for you

Nice little co op. They have a nice little restaurant. Popular with high school and I am students

It a good place to shop or eat if you are vegan.

Incredible cafe with some of the tastiest vegan dishes in the city. I don’t really shop for groceries here because the prices are (understandably) a lot higher than chain stores, but they still do have some great vegan options.

I love their selection of organic foods. Nice bulk food item section as well.

Very friendly and quirky shop with my favourite Bahn Mi sandwich in Milwaukee. The deli is exemplary. Staff is always friendly and produce is ripe and fresh.

For a $20 annual membership fee, you get some of the freshest, most reasonably priced organic produce in the city. And they have a great selection of canned goods and cleaning items. We love it!-LoraDeWan Dental Wellness

The port.o.milly.Love the vibe.Great selection.I Appreciate.Thank you ☆.

So the cafe is exceptional. So many delicious options for all eaters! I had Bi Bim Bop and I loved it. You must try this place for breakfast at a minimum.

I live in Sheboygan, but frequently work in Milwaukee. After becoming vegan around two years ago, it was hard to find places to accomodate my eating choices...since Wisconsin is basically the meat and dairy capital of the planet. I had been trying vegan options at local restaurants, but nothing stood out. Well, I found Riverwest Co-Op...and decided to try it out. Im thrilled that I did. I started with Coffee and Biscuits and Gravy. Heaven! I cant tell you how awesome it was to find such good food, at a decent price. Im sold. I will be stopping in as often as I can...because this place is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Ethical. Tasty. Affordable. Hip. Definitely give these guys a try!!!

I eat here because they offer great vegan options. I Love the laid back atmosphere. Keep up the good work! (-:

The best market in this area with wonderful natural foods and a friendly cafe to boot. Use member #007 if you need one. Try the Ruben sandwich, its fantastic.

Amazing coop with delicious cafe. Small but packs a punch. Tons of vegan friendly items. Super friendly staff.

Quaint vegan place, plenty of options. I ordered a vegan biscuit, green smoothie and a pancake and loved all of it!

The store is on the small side, not unexpected for a local place. The selection is really very good. It is a little pricy, but not unreasonable for locally grown, organic, and specialty foods. I would still stock up at aldi on basics but hit this place up for some wow factor. The attached cafe is fantastic, vegetarian in a way that allows you to enjoy vegetarian instead of pretending they can fool you into believing its meat. I had the seiten gyro. The seiten was flavored with the gyro spices and it was as good as any gyro i have had. The tabboulih salad was fresh and had a nice bite. Even the hummus was top notch.

Convenient if you live in the neighborhood. Great bulk order opportunities for members. The produce is usually terrible though.

Its good some seasoning would go a long way Im vegan and Hispanic and although its good I will say you can tell its white people recipes lol and some stuff can be hard sometimes but all in all great place good vegan food in the Neighboorhood just wish the clientele werent so obnoxious snotty and annoying you cant even talk to anyone cause they all act better than you :/

Vegan food. Ollllld place- like hippies. Mushroom sandwich. Is sweet! Try the salsa!

Their tofu bbq is great and delicious and tastes great every time i order it. The reason I put a 3 star is for their inconsistency when making their shakes. I order a PB Cup most of the time when I do dine there and it always tastes different. The last PB Cup order I made was last week--10 minutes before closing. The PB cup shake tasted disgusting. I will definitely spend $5.50 at a different location for sure.

Loved their Chix Fried tofu sandwich

An actual food co-op perfectly situated in its pro-food-co-op neighborhood. You might not find everything on your list, but youll find something, and youll always get a smile.

Awesome vegan cafe attached to a beer organic grocery store

The jury is still out for me with this place. When I moved away from the MIlwaukee area 5 years ago, this coop was steeped in some unsightly drama. They seem to have taken that whole thing to heart and so its more comfortable for people who are not white and straight and cis to shop here, but its still far too expensive for what it is and they do not offer low-income memberships, which any coop true to its tenants should.

Delicious plant based food for everyone, not just vegetarians! BBQ Tofu sandwich is a classic here.

I didnt become vegan until after I moved away from Milwaukee, so I never got the chance to try the deliciousness that is the Riverwest Co-op Cafe. But, when I visited the city again after I had made transistion into veganism, one of the first places I visited was here! I came twice during my stay to enjoy the food here, and I was most smitten by the vegan Phamous Philly. The seitan is made in-house, and you can see everything being prepared in front of you while you sit and wait in the cute dining area. This philly exceeded my expectations. I even tried to recreate it at home, to no avail! Smothered in melted cheese, bun toasted to perfection! Fond memories of my first experience tasting this heavenly food will keep me returning every time I am back in town!

Where do I start... my first time here 2 years ago as a vegan I was treated very badly. We were waiting in line and one of the employees busted through to get back in to the kitchen and was EXTREMELY rude and bossy. We proceeded to leave to go to my good friends restaurant the beerline cafe. I finally went back last week with my newly vegetarian neice with Christmas gift certificates. Not to mention I did call to tell my bad story to a manager named Paula as she said she would send my coupons for the bad behavior I entailed. NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. Last week was a redemption as Alex treated me and my niece with respect and dignity. The vegan tempeh reuben and tuno melt were absolutely fantastic. To die for. This is my new favorite place to eat. The man and woman at the front counter were very helpful and friendly. I havent eaten murdered flesh in many many years and have been in the vegan food industry for years its rhe best Reuben in the world. I cant wait for more. Amazing food for us vegans. Im telling everyone. I wish I could afford to eat every meal at the riverwest coop. Just so delicious. If it wasnt for my first bad experience it would have been 5 stars. Just amazing is all I can say. I only wish i could make food like this at home.

The Tempe Rueben (and the breakfast version) is the greatest sandwich ever made.

Food was great, was awesome having so many vegan options

Best corner store in Riverwest. Pancakes in the cafe on Saturday morning are AWESOME!

Cozy little restaurant with great organic food!

Fresh produce selection and down to earth staff! Was a memorable experience

My husband and I always stop by for vegan biscuits and gravy when we are in Milwaukee. Very nice staff and delicious food!

Been here 30ish times, food is incredible every time, friendly folks, if i had to boil it down, i’m addicted.don’t be afraid to try new things!

Loveeee their veg biscuits and gravy. I didnt even like biscuits and gravys before I was vegetarian. Now Im a changed human.

Always enjoy going, shop for produce and groceries or order up some tasty food.

Cool atmosphere great selection of drinks good food

Small grocery and has a kitchen that offers a lot of delicious choices even though its small.
