Love Alderaan! The rocket fuel is my favorite drink, and I've enjoyed the lattes and seasonal drinks as well. Location is perfect; staff is phenomenal; and let me tell you, it's AFFORDABLE. I became a make-coffee-at-home-always person a few years ago due to inflated coffee shop pricing at most places, but now with Alderaan I can treat myself once or twice a week! Highly recommend to those who haven't been here yet.

Hands down the best coffee in Milwaukee. Have been a loyal customer since they opened and cannot rave about how consistently delicious and well roasted their coffee is. A true essential in the city.

I had a delicious latte this morning when they first opened up. Hands down the best one I have had in the city so far. It definitely picks up around 8:00am!
