Beans & Barley Market & Café

I highly recommend this lovely restaurant if you are in downtown Milwaukee. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. I had white bean coconut soup, the Thai coconut curry stir fry, and a coconut kale smoothie. My husband had the mushroom lasagna,vegetarian chili, and a chocolate banana smoothie. We're gonna top off this deliciousness with a poppy seed torte. It'sreasonably priced and there's a parking lot in front of the building. There's also metered parking along the street. It's got anice shop with lots of gift items and a deli.

OK, so be fair I didn't realize what kind of restaurant I was at until now when Google asked me to review. It felt like a bunch of insane hippies that refused to make normal food. Ollie was INCREDIBLY helpful and worked with me to get garlic bread,apple pie and a chocolate milk. Thank you so much Ollie for being honest, and that I probably wasn't in the best restaurant forme. She was right, it's because I didn't know the area and was desperate. Food and service was great. If you're a meat andpotato guy, go somewhere else. Also, the atmosphere was nice) decent but the posters on the wall explains it all. Oh and the large chocolate milk is a joke. Get two.

I've always wanted a chance to have lunch at this location and I was not let down. I had a delicious roast turkey sandwich with roasted tomatoes and it was fabulous. Plus the smoothies are amazing! Now as far as the atmosphere I love locations that displaylocal art to support the local arts community. Do yourself a favor and go have lunch there sometime it's totally worth it!

Fantastic, friendly, and professional. I love that it's options for everyone. I hope they offer refills or larger glasses for drinks in the future. Thank you for recooking my son's grilled chicken. My only suggestion would be to offer a healthy seasoningoption on it. My mushroom burger was flavorful! The quesadilla my other son loved. And the grilled cheese sandwich made my otherson very happy. My husband had a burrito that was fantastic! We will be back! Make sure you walk through the grocery-like marketthey have on the other side. I bought a hibiscus and ginger ready to drink cold tea that is slap you good! But it has gifts, petstuff, hot food, and groceries. Great place! Great location.

One of our favorite local spots! Grocery/deli/beer/wine/gifts plus fabulous restaurant! Can?t go wrong here for healthy reasonably price food/drink. All natural fresh ingredients for vegans to carnivores there something for everyone! Plus amazingrotating artists on the restaurant walls! Great patio right off of North Ave for outdoor dining too.
