Pleasant Kafe, the quaint bi-level coffee shop and wine bar located at 1600 N. Jackson St., has closed its doors, according to an email sent to OnMilwaukee by the cafe this morning.

Pleasant Kafe, which offered coffee, pastries and tapas, along with wine and beer, opened in the former Dentice Bros. Italian Sausage shop in the summer of 2014.

The space is currently for lease. Interested parties can contact Gato City Properties at (414) 403-3855 or by email at gatocityproperties@gmail.com for additional information.

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. 

When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
