There's a new spot in the Riverwest neighborhood to stock up on delicious take-and-bake dishes and support a variety of local makers.
Cafe Corazon, 3129 N. Bremen St., has converted its dining area into a quaint shopping destination featuring a combination of handmade goods and edible items from the cafe.
Step into the Corazon General Store and you'll find a variety of crafts, jewelry, pottery and handmade clothing, including adorable masks and server aprons from Carol Ann Armstrong of Snip Stitch & Patch.
Shoppers can also purchase a variety of housemade items from Cafe Corazon including bottles of their spicy salsa verde (proceeds go to supporting the Corazon restaurant crew), plus jams and frozen take-and-bake items including burritos and enchiladas.
The general store is currently open daily from noon to 8 p.m. Don't forget to wear your mask.
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.
