Best service, best coffee, best vegan muffin in Shorewood. The baristas here really try their best to make nondairy drinks delicious. I rarely get milk that is steamed too long here. At other places like colectivo, people often burn the (nondairy) milk and it feels like they don't even try when compared to Stone Creek. I had a cappuccino so delicious that my partner, who drinks milk, said it was delicious. Plus, the service at this location in particular is amaaaaazing. I am on a first name basis with most of the employees here. They are all very accommodating and they are not afraid to have "real" conversations with customers. Hands down our go-to place for coffee. Nothing else compares. The only down side is that once in a while, the seats are all taken up.
Great place to hang, good coffee and sweets.
Best coffee ever! Also, very good bakery.
Great coffee and amazing, friendly service. Only 4 stars because I feel it's really lacking that craft coffee house vibe.
Great coffee. Delicious bakery items. Very friendly staff. Serene/quiet atmosphere. Wish there were more options for food and a larger variety of beverages. Decor is bland.
Great coffee great service in a comfortable location.
There are plans to come here more regularly when we move to Shorewood in the future. Very knowledgeable baristas, quick service, very pleasant interior. Wish there was more space as we've had to leave more than once with all the tables occupied. All in all, a nice little coffee shop on northern Oakland Ave.
Loved the cozy atmosphere as soon as you walk in, there's an espresso press as a handle for the front door super funny, and great coffee! Got a peppermint mocha and it was fantastic
I used to go to Stone Creek regularly until I found out what the workers make. The part time employees get paid just above minimum wage and management was notoriously cheap when it came to raises. I was aware of store managers who worked significant overtime but got paid around a $26k salary, so no overtime pay. In order to get a raise, an employee would have to ask and build a case for why they deserve it. They don't even have annual raises.
If the owner has multiple houses AND they keep opening stores, they certainly have the financial resources to revisit their wage policy.
So if you like good coffee and support low wages, I suggest visiting Stone Creek. If you like good coffee and fair wages, I'm aware Colectivo has a much better policy.
Incredible customer service, wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon to sit and work for a few hours. Outlets everywhere and free, reliable wifi.
