The National Cafe is a charming spot for brunch in Milwaukee that captures the perfect cozy vibe! 🌸

I visited for an early breakfast and was welcomed by the delightful aroma of fresh baked goods. I ordered the French toast, which was perfectly textured and not overly sweet - definitely one of the best I've had! My partner loved the Mexican mocha and the slider croissant sandwich! ☕🥐

Service was friendly, though we did find ourselves waiting a bit longer than expected (around 30-40 minutes).

Overall, it's a lovely place with a fantastic selection of vegan options... Can't wait to return!
