Review by Humberto Herzog

Johanna's Cafe is a delightful gem in Milwaukee! 🌟

I recently dined here and was blown away by the Jibarito de bistec - absolute perfection with tender steak and crispy plantains! The Mofongo is a must-try too; it's packed with flavor!

The atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming, making it perfect for a casual meal or coffee. The service was exceptional - staff treated us like family, always with a smile.

I also indulged in their tres leches cake, which was a sweet finish to our meal. I can't wait to return for breakfast and explore more of the menu! 😊🍽️
