Marcus Interactive/Development loves to explore the Milwaukee area local coffee shops in search of 3 specific things: 1) Great coffee 2) Decent work space with outlets and 3) Available Wi-Fi.
Shawn Spartz: Comfortable and artsy. They roast their own coffee so if you like a good dark roast, this is a great spot to come. Delicious and unique breakfast and lunch options. Lots of outlets and free wi-fi!
424 E Wisconsin Ave (Jefferson St.), Milwaukee, WI
Café · Juneau Town · 10 tips and reviews
Jessica McCoy: Starbuck's coffee plus Pfister made pastries and grab n' go options. Ask barista Roy to make you an iced caramel macchiato. Wi-fi is free and plentiful with outlets available for every table.
Shawn Spartz: One of the best things about Caribou's is that there is always free wi-fi, the coffee is delicious. But what's special about this place is that it's long with a lot of space, tables and outlets!

Shawn Spartz: Another great Caribou spot with lots of space, outlets and Wi-Fi. There is a nice large table in the front so you can code in a group if your laptop travels with a gang like mine. Staff is friendly!
Shawn Spartz: Birdie's Cafe holds a lot of Milwaukee charm. It's like being in a friend's house who makes delicious coffee. Lots of individual rooms for privacy or meetings. Ample table space and free wifi.
Jessica McCoy: Bella Caffe has two big tables with outlets, if you are with a group get there early. The Caramel Crema is delicious. This location is better than the Third Ward one because the staff is friendlier.
Jessica McCoy: We love working at Panera because of reliable Wi-Fi, lots of space with outlets and the many coffee, lunch & breakfast options. However, be warned that it gets busy & loud. Loyalty program is a plus.
