Food Around UWM

Milwaukee is home to plenty of great restuarants, no matter what you're in the mood for! UWM is nestled between quite a few gems - here are just a few you should make sure to visit!

BelAir Cantina has two locations in Milwaukee, and is a perfect choice for $2 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays! They also have a ton of different options, from burrito bowls to tamales. Not to mention, BelAir is a great environment to hang out with friends.


 If you're leaning towards Greek, check out Oakland Gyros - just a short walk from campus and open until 3 a.m., you can get a ton of great food here without spending too much money!




Maybe you prefer a classic diner - then Ma Fischer's is perfect for you! Open 24/7, this restaurant has a ton of comfort food if you're missing your parent's home-cooked meals. Or maybe you just got done seeing a movie at the beautiful Oriental Theater, and Ma Fischer's is just down the road. Either way, if you find your way here, you won't be disappointed with their large servings and variety of food to choose from.

     If you're on Downer, make sure to check out Cafe Hollander. As a grand cafe with award winning food, you're almost guaranteed to find something you love! With foods such as chocolate dipped waffles and jalapeno bbq burgers, I'd be surprised if you don't go back!

One of my personal favorites is Beans & Barley - just a few minutes walk from Cambridge (or, you can take the shuttle and get off at Kenilworth), they use local ingredients and also offer a variety of vegan and vegetarian options - it tastes good, and is good for you!

 If you're just looking for coffee, be sure to check out Colectivo! With locations all over the city, you're sure to find one to pick up your daily coffee or tea. They also have smoothies, baked goods, and food, and it's locally owned and operated!



Or, if  you're running out of money and looking for a great place that takes meal plan, be sure to check out Ian's Pizza! Your meal plan works for dine-in and delivery, so whether you want classic cheese or one of their famous specialty pizza's, you're in luck! Through the GET platform, you can access a full list of all restaurants that take your UWM Meal Plan or Gold Account - but remember, you won't get the 50% discount that you get at the Cafe's and Palm Gardens.


These are just a few of the amazing places to eat around UW - Milwaukee. Be sure to try them out, and let us know your favorites!
