I’ll be the first to admit…my sweet tooth is almost as big as my feet. What can I say? Sasquatches love a dessert every once and a while. Lucky for me, there are seven spots throughout South Milwaukee to indulge in the most Sam-tastic sweet treats!
1. Virtue Coffee & Valor Wine
New Sam Approved spot alert! Virtue Coffee is now officially open in South Milwaukee—they even invited me to the ribbon cutting ceremony! Their breakfast menu includes donuts and specialty baked goods, while their dessert menu is chock full of various cakes and gelatos. So whether you swing by at 7am or 7pm, you’re in for a treat! P.S. Check out their rooftop patio, opening June 21st!
2. Ferch’s Beachside Grill
Now that summer is here, Ferch’s Beachside Grill is back in business! Conveniently located at beautiful Grant Park Beach, you can take a break from your swimming, tanning, or sandcastle-making for a fun frozen custard or shake. They even have my favorite treat of all time… a root beer float! You can catch me sipping on those all summer long.
