About This Venue
The City Market Café & Bakehouse is a locally-focused café and bakery with two Milwaukee-area locations in Shorewood and Wauwatosa, serving scratch-made salads, sandwiches, and fresh-baked goods in welcoming neighborhood environments.
With a commitment to wholesome, thoughtful food prepared with care, City Market offers everything from morning locally-brewed coffee to homemade lunch options and freshly baked pastries. Their signature menu features creative salads like the Strawberry Gorgonzola and Market Cobb, hearty sandwiches including the Market Masterpiece and Grilled Basil Chicken, and vegetarian options like the Fresh Veggie Stack and Grilled Chili Tofu Wrap. The bakery specializes in items like their celebrated Raisin Walnut roll and housemade cookies.
Both locations are known for their pleasant, character-filled atmospheres—the Wauwatosa café features a huge outdoor patio perfect for warmer Wisconsin days—and staff that prioritizes accuracy and courtesy. The business actively invests in the local community, and their catering services make them a go-to choice for box lunches and special occasions. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a leisurely lunch, or baked goods for an event, City Market delivers quality food at reasonable prices with genuine neighborhood appeal.
