    Nice But Small Market

    The Milwaukee Public Market is pretty small for a city market but there are still some nice options here. It included some interesting food stands, restaurants and unique little shops. It’s definitely worth setting aside some time on your visit to Milwaukee to check out...More

    What a city market should be.

    On a recent visit I was reminded of the much larger Time Out Market in Lisbon. The high quality of seafood, meats (especially sausage), and cheeses from local sources were the closest parallel, but the good food and beverages were further similarities, as was the...More

    Small High End Food Court

    A high end food court that is pretty small but has lots of options. Some seating outside where a lot of people had brought their lunch.

    Small but nice

    This is a very cool area, although it's small. There are several buildings offering a number of small shops. It was a good stop!

    Great spot for eating and shopping

    The market had a variety of restaurants and shops where you can purchase wine, cheese, crackers, fruit, etc. Lots of variety so should have something for everyone from smoothies to pizza to beer.

    Great variety

    Our family went here to accommodate our different dietary needs. Got a delicious blueberry dairy-free smoothie at On The Bus. Also got a very tasty salad for a reasonable price at The Green Kitchen.

    Small market, but worth exploring

    Milwaukee Public Market is great! It's not the largest market, but it had several stands and stores (St. Paul Fish Company, The Green Kitchen, Kehr's Candies, On the Bus, The Spice House, Aladdin/Pitaworks, Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co., West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe). It's fun...More

    Didn't know what to expect but ended up loving it

    Read multiple reviews and sort of expected it to be sort of a big indoor food court but sound it was more like being in an Asian street food market (minus Asian anything). Glad we came and discovered it, quite a variety of independent food...More
