This under-the-radar coffee shop has been going strong since 1993.
Located in the Riverwest neighborhood, this cafe hasn't changed much since it first opened - and locals love it that way.
The history goes back to the owners' love of motorcycles. The eclectic decor is full of motorcycle memorabilia, and for a town obsessed with Harley, it makes so much sense.
It's not uncommon to see a line of motorcycles outside, and it couldn't make us feel more at home!
Fuel Cafe gets back to the basics of coffee. This laid-back punk coffee shop is the perfect place to read a zine, take in the history, and sip a good ole' cup of Joe or espresso.
It's home to several of Milwaukee's favorite sandwiches, such as The Cheesy Tomato and The Buttafuoco. One bit of their famous chips will have you coming back for more!
Fuel also offers vegan and vegetarian dishes. Their vegetarian chili is to die for and their bakery items pair perfectly with any cup of coffee.
The sister restaurant can be found in Walker's Point and focuses on the up-and-coming in Milwaukee. The restaurant is a great addition to the area, the cafe in Riverwest will always be the original.
The Fuel Cafe is located at 818 E. Center St., Milwaukee. They’re open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
