Charming little gem with good Anodyne coffee and scrumptious bakery.Just one thing I wish they would fix - please post bakery item prices.Otherwise, every single treat was absolutely delicious.I was seriously wowed.The owner (? I think) named everything I pointed to before giving them to me, but I don’t remember all the names. I have to go by what they look like. (Please post bakery item names along with the price!) (Oh and sorry for the bad picture - he looks mad in the picture, but he was actually just really nice and smiling most of the time. I didn’t realize until way later that he looks mad in the picture lol)The big puffy cinnamon sugary puff - totally the best thing I had here. Super soft inside and kinda crusty outside, perfectly sweet but not too much.The little mini chocolate croissant lookalike but denser looking things - good, but not necessarily what I’d come back here for.Blueberry scone textured rectangular thing - not airy, but dense, packed with flavor, very filling and delicious.

Absolutely every pastry and bread is fabulous. Order cinnamon buns ahead because they sell out. My bank account is happy I don't live nearby but my tastebuds are very, very sad.

A slice of sunshine in the Milwaukee area! Personable staff, excellent pastries, and a good cup of coffee. Chat with the barista, buy the morning bun, and enjoy this lovely little cafe!

Top 5 places to go in milwaukee for great cafe vibes!!A place that focuses on healthy, doesn't upset your stomach food options including rotating high quality soups, breads, sandwiches, salads, bakery goodies, you can't ask for a better place to go to! Must try the high quality bowl of soup with a side of bread and a sweet and savory morning bun for later! To add, the owner is so nice and friendly and overall great service and atmosphere!! 5/5

This place is the best! Incredible bakery treats! I only wish they could change their hours and be open on Sundays!!!Sunday is the day for relaxing with family that includes breakfast lunch brunch dinner and all of that should have Amaranth Bakery with it. THANK YOU!

I stopped in for a coffee and breakfast with my mom and sister. Everything was amazing! We had the best croissant we’ve ever tasted, amazing quiches and the beet and feta galette was outstanding. The service was also wonderful! I definitely recommend this place!

What to say that would even do justice to this Milwaukee hidden gem!? Located on a forgotten little stretch of Lisbon, it is easy to pass by unnoticed - don't make that mistake! If you want to feel like you are in a welcoming little café in France, enjoying mouth-watering specialties, you need to check out Amaranth. You can taste the difference in every morsel, clearly made with love. Every soup, salad, and sandwich is sure to be the best you've ever had! I personally LOVE the savory gallettes (not sure I spelled that right). I like that they are more dense (more bread like than flakey) and just right in every way. And don't forget about the dessert- oh my God so good. Who needs a trip to France when you have this adorable place with fantastic food right in your own backyard.
