Describe Yourself:
A glowing, little café with warm service, good food, and reasonable prices, centro café is the realization of a dream, long held by Patrick Moore.

Pat, along with his wife Peg Karpfinger, own and operate the café; a storefront they purchased in 2003 and proceeded, slowly, to rehabilitate.

The space shines with the loving care dedicated to its restoration.

Walter Williams calmly works his magic behind the front of house grill.

Flames intermittently flare up and reflect in the mirrors on the opposite wall.

Piping hot dishes, prepared individually, arrive at marble tables still steaming.

7/10/2010 I walked over for brunch and had a fritatta, delicious orange juice, and a lemon sorbetto (You HAVE to eat one of these. It's vegan, it's creamy, it's delicious, I'm hungry just writing about it...) for what I would call a totally reasonable price. It's not cheap, but man are you getting what you pay for.

Service was laid-back but very friendly, the room was charming, and the windows were thrown wide open to let in a beautiful summer morning in Milwaukee. What a great find.

6/27/2010 Centro Cafe might just be my new favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. We went for brunch and were very impressed by the flavors of the food and the great prices. The Vegetariano sandwich had so much flavor, even a die-hard meat eater would be impressed. The food is made fresh to order, which was made evident by the chef who was preparing food right there in the dining room. There was a plate of fresh vegetables sitting on his counter, which he would chop fresh as needed. Just like at home!

They cater to vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters. Nothing on the menu was more than $11. The restaurant is TINY, so don't try to come here with a large group. My friends who live nearby told me they have a very long wait for dinner.

I can't wait to go back to try more delicious food!
