Backyard Discovery: Zak's Cafe

I recently checked out the new Zak's Cafe in Milwaukee's Walker's Point. I love how Walker's Point neighborhood is being revitalized by new street face-lift, restaurants, condos, breweries, the UWM School of Fresh Water and hotels. Current business like La Merenda, Transfer, South 2nd Street Antiques, Clinton Street Antiques, Soup Bros., and Triskele's are keeping a heartbeat to the neighborhood, so the new development will really reawaken that part of the city.

Zak's Cafe is a perfect addition to all this new growth. Their menu heavily features breakfast and brunch items, but I was more intrigued with the lunch and dinner options like portobello sandwiches, roast duck, and a Friday Fish Fry with perch and walleye.

See the rest of their menu HERE.

Tues-Thurs 6:30am-9pm

Milwaukee Faves: Walker's Point rock sculpture

"Stone Bracelet" by Zoran Mojsilov in Paliafito Park, Walker's Point Neighborhood

This park is hidden on 3rd and Walker amongst old mansions, some homeless shelters, and the Michoacana cart routes. Surprisingly, I find it a very peaceful place to stop mid-day and eat lunch or catch up on paperwork.
