Est. Milwaukee · East Side
Craft coffee at dawn. Small plates at dusk. Cocktails that don't rush you out the door. Quarters is Milwaukee's East Side destination for people who savor the in-between moments.
Our Story
Quarters lives on E Center Street in Milwaukee's East Side — a neighborhood that understands the value of a good conversation and a well-made drink. We opened our doors with a simple conviction: that a café and a bar shouldn't be two different worlds.
By day, our espresso bar is all about precision and warmth. By night, the same space transforms — lower lights, deeper flavors, and a cocktail program that treats every glass like a small act of hospitality.
We don't measure success by how fast you leave. We measure it by how good you feel while you're here.
What We Offer
Single-origin pour-overs, silky lattes, and cold brews pulled fresh throughout the day. Every cup is sourced from roasters who care about the craft.
Seasonal, locally sourced, and designed to share. From avocado toast with a twist to charcuterie boards that change with the week — our kitchen keeps it simple and honest.
Our bar program leans into Milwaukee's brewing heritage while reaching beyond it. House-infused spirits, seasonal syrups, and cocktails that tell a story in every sip.
Daylight Hours
Open from early morning, Quarters is where Milwaukee comes to work, read, or simply sit still with a perfectly pulled espresso. Wi-Fi is fast, the music is low, and the pastries arrive fresh every morning at 7.
After Dark
When the sun drops, so do the lights. Our cocktail menu shifts — darker, bolder, more experimental. The energy softens. Conversations deepen. This is the Quarters most people have never experienced, and the one they remember longest.
