Here is the Riverwest Co-op's phone number, (414) 264-7933, and here is why you want it: As of Monday, Oct. 1 the co-op delivers its deliciously prepared vegetarian and vegan fare right to your door step.
Being the environmentally conscious group that it is at the Co-op located at 733 E. Clarke St., all deliveries are done via bicycle, limiting the delivery zones to Riverwest, the UWM neighborhood and select areas of Downtown. You can ask if your address qualifies when you call to place an order.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Co-op's menu, you can peruse the made-to-order sandwiches, soups, desserts, smoothies and breakfast items -- which are now available daily, until 11 a.m. on weekdays and 2 p.m. on weekends -- here.
Delivery hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (with a one-hour break between 3 and 4 p.m.) and Saturdays, 5 to 9 p.m. All deliveries add $2 to the bill and although cash is preferred, credit cards are accepted.
Thank you Riverwest Co-op for your dedication (the staff is all volunteer) and congrats on your third birthday yesterday!
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
