This swiftly growing coffee company has created quite a buzz both in Milwaukee and in the national coffee industry, and it's easy to see why. They serve the strongest cup of joe around -- but do offer a daily mild blend, if you prefer -- and pay obsessively close attention to quality and taste control.

Comet Coffeeshop's food sometimes takes up to twenty minutes to arrive and it's a little different every time. Mayo portions range from a light spread to a thick smear and chili is just as likely to be ladled over elbow macaroni as rainbow rotini, but this is one of the reason diners return again and again.
