Less than a month after the Bay View location opened, Alterra announced plans for expansion of the Wauwatosa cafe.

Tosa Alterra to expand

Published Sept. 4, 2012 at 6:59 p.m.

The Alterra cafe in Wauwatosa, 9125 W. North Ave., will soon expand into the former Locker's Flowers space next door, according to Alterra co-owner Lincoln Fowler.

"Yes, our cafe at Swan and North is going to get some much needed space. We are still planning the renovation, so I have no hard timeline," says Fowler. "Our guess is we will take roughly half of the Locker's space – the western half – and we hope to have it done yet this year."

Agreed--there *IS* life west of 124th St... and we do like coffee and need places to socialize beyond the 2pm closing time of every other small business on the weekends. :)

Good news. Now it's time for Alterra to open up some joints in Waukesha County. We like great coffee, too. And bakery. And breakfast. And lunch.

It's Small Biz Week

Published Monday, May 20

We`re all in it together, so this week the City of Milwaukee`s Small Business Conference will feature meetings, conferences, work shops, round tables and more. All with the goal of growing and developing the area`s business arena. Kickoff is tonight with events all week.

Folk made in Milwaukee

Published Monday, May 20

As part of "The Avant Garde Coffee House Project" exhibit currently on view, there`s a glass-topped case with some posters and a record. It`s a pretty nondescript thing, frankly, with a black and white photo and some not especially artful text. But that little record - "Blues, Rags and Hollers," by folk blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover - made a big bang when it was released in June 1963. And it was made in Milwaukee.

Bike to Work Week events

Published Wednesday, May 8

Don`t feel like you need to ditch your car. The overall goal is participation. Don`t feel bad if you can`t ride all seven days, but don`t give up after only one. Take small steps towards enjoying riding a bike. If you find a problem, ask around for a solution; odds are someone has already figured it out. Bike to Work Week may not convert you to a spandex-loving gear head, but it might provide you with a new, fun weekly goal.

Speakeasy vibes

Published Wednesday, April 17

While Prohibition shuttered The Glunz - which recently reopened after 90 years - the 14-year ban on booze that began in 1919 sparked the era of the secret world of the speakeasy, especially in Chicago, where Capone and his contemporaries ran the show. Now, the Windy City`s passion for the speakeasy has been rekindled in a big way.

Avant Garde exhibit

Published Monday, April 15

Despite the fact that we had Dan Ball - a member of the legendary Velvet Whip - write about the new Avant Garde Coffee House show at UWM`s Inova Gallery in the Kenilworth Building, 2155 N. Prospect Ave., I stopped in last week to get a tour from organizer John Stropes.

Eating at Mitchell

Published Sunday, April 14

There was a time, not all that long ago, when a hungry traveler at Mitchell International Airport could choose from Burger King, a spinning hot dog and Famous Amos cookies. And that was about it. But, kids, this ain`t your daddy`s Mitchell Field anymore.

One cup coffee maker

Door Co. in winter

Published Friday, March 29

Door County is something of a ghost town this time of year - and frankly, that`s just how we like it. Seeing Fish Creek, Ephraim, Egg Harbor and Sister Bay all but abandoned in the middle of winter is reminiscent of the tranquil, removed setting and slowed-down pace that made these towns a tourist hotspot in the first place.
