As I was driving out to the Times Cinema last week to catch a MIFF screening I noticed that Another Blessings Café -- a relatively new coffee shop at 5010 W. Vliet St. that opened in the spring of 2006 -- is now a quaint Italian restaurant called Pizzeria Tazza.
I didn't want to be late for the movie, so I didn't go inside, although, from the street, the interior looked sleek and modern with nice alternative lighting. There was still a banner outside instead of permanent signage, implying its arrival is still pretty recent.
As Another Blessings Café, the West Side coffee spot owned by enthusiastic entrepreneur Eugene Bonner -- who you can read about in my interview with him here -- was short-lived and had replaced the previous, and equally as short-lived, Blessings Café.
Hopefully this Vliet Street location isn't one of those infamous Milwaukee "black holes," especially in the wake of such a successful and on-going Washington Heights resurgence.
Has anyone been there yet and tasted its fare?

I love this place. I had my baby shower here and it was friendly and fun. The pizza and service are great. My fave is actually the caprese salad because it is authentic. They usually are not made with balsamic and I found the greens to be fresh and delish! We always stop here for pizza, soda, and last time we tried the rolled eggplant and it was great. i would recommend this local business to anyone looking for a great family atmosphere and great food.

My husband and I live down the street from there, and have tried it a couple times. The pizza is fantastic, we love thin crust and they use great ingredients. Our fave is the white pizza with spinach, mushrooms and onions. However, their Caprese is not so good--romaine lettuce topped with tomato and fresh mozzarella and that's it. No basil, oil, nothing. We'll definitely be back though for the pizza, support your local eatery!!

My family has eaten at "the Pizza Cup" several times, and our reaction is... fabulous. The decor is extremely cool, with the "big Stuff" theme from the Cup carried through to the interior- big pizza slices for the back of the booths, big graters and slicers hanging from the ceiling, etc. The appetizers are tasky, and can be a meal if you choose. The pizza is great. Typically, it is thin crust, but they will make it thick if you prefer! And so tasty. And it even holds up to the breakfast test! This is a place to see old friends and meet new ones! Try it! You will not be disappointed!
