The Thiensville-based coffee roaster Fiddleheads Coffee has opened its first Milwaukee location in the downtown BMO Tower located at 790 N. Water St. The cafe, located off the lobby, will also have a separate entrance on Water St. for foot traffic.
The cafe itself can seat 49, but a multilevel common area beyond it has room for customers to distance themselves further.
Besides serving coffee and espresso drinks, the cafe sells baked goods and breakfast and lunch menu items. Customers can order at the counter in person or online at the roaster’s website, fiddleheadscoffee.com, or through its app.
24 kinds of hot dogs and sausages, all with vegan alternatives. Plus Zoomie Fries. By Graham Kilmer - Mar 10th, 2021 07:24 pm //end headline wrapper ?>Riley’s Good Dogs. Photo by Graham Kilmer.
There’s a new hot dog stand on Water Street called Riley’s Good Dogs.
The stand is actually a food truck, parked at 1652 N. Water St. in the parking lot of the former Moto-Scoot shop.
The owner,
Hank Stiehl, used to work at Moto-Scoot and is a friend of the owner
Bill Weslow. The pair had long discussed opening a restaurant at the location. They thought something like fast-casual dining would do well there, Stiehl told Urban Milwaukee.
The mobile option allows Riley’s to test the market before fully diving in, he said, and it requires much less capital than it would to open a physical location, which is appealing amidst tough times for the restaurant industry.
Riley’s Good Dogs food truck will begin serving up its traditional and vegan hot dogs, sausages, and loaded “zoomies” fries as soon as early January, depending on the city’s license approval and inspection process…
While the food truck will be parked at 1652 N. Water St. most of the time, Stiehl said, there’s always the option to travel around the area.

“The goal and the dream is still to be able to turn that into a full brick-and-mortar restaurant, but given the challenges presented to the restaurant industry by the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt it was more prudent to start with something a little bit more flexible,” said Stiehl.
