Morning Bloom a new breakfast restaurant in the former Sweet Berry location to open

JANESVILLE— A new brunch restaurant, Morning Bloom, is preparing to open in the former Pearl of the Orient and Sweet Berry location, bringing another breakfast and brunch option to the area after Sweet Berry closed just three months after opening. The Alcohol licensing committee Tuesday morning, the committee unanimously recommended a positive approval to the city council for the restaurant's license. Bardil Ahmedi, the new restaurant owner, is opening a similar restaurant that will operate every day from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. The building at 2701 Milton Ave. housed Pearl of the Orient from late 2022 until early 2024. Rio Brazilian Steakhouse then planned to move into space, but backed out last year. Former owner Tommy Nguyen’s mother Xinh Le owned Sweet Berry. His mom has been the landlord for a building that houses Riverside Family restaurant in Rockford, Ill. Last year, Le had the idea to open a restaurant of her own in Janesville, and the idea blossomed from there. After purchasing the building, they repainted its exterior, repaved the parking lot, cleaned inside and constructed a bakery area that will serve as a mini-café serving items such as pastries, coffee and tea.

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Milwaukee, Wisconsin — a city where the lake wind carries the scent of garlic and basil, where Cream City brick glows golden in the afternoon sun, and where neighborhoods are stitched together by generations of dreamers, doers, and storytellers. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of families at Summerfest, in the hush of old churches, in the mingling voices of newcomers and old-timers, artists and teachers, cooks and dreamers. Milwaukee is a place where the skyline is a patchwork of glass and history, where the food scene is a living mosaic — Polish, German, Hmong, Black, Latinx, and Italian — each flavoring the city’s soul.

One Milwaukee Restaurant Is Giving Wisconsin Pizza Lovers A Delicious Reason To Visit

The pizza recipe here hasn’t changed since the 1950s. Same crust, same tangy sauce, same family running the show. The crust is so thin it earned its own trademarked name. Every pie gets cut into little squares, which makes stopping at just one piece a real challenge. I love...

REVIEW: First time at Kopp’s Frozen Custard

When you hear “Milwaukee,” what foods come to mind?. When I arrived here four years ago, I couldn’t answer that question, and truth be told, it remains that way. Growing up near Chicago, widely regarded as one of the country’s best food cities, I wondered what Milwaukee offered in comparison. I struggled to imagine how any city could surpass the Italian beef and deep-dish pizza I grew up with. Yet, throughout my time here, I kept hearing about some place called Kopp’s. Countless Milwaukee residents, from what I was told, considered it one of the best burger-and-custard spots in Milwaukee.

Eater names CASSIS one of the country's best new restaurants

One of Milwaukee's most buzzed-about new restaurants has landed on a list celebrating the nation's best. CASSIS , 333 S. Water St., has been named one of the 15 Best New Restaurants of the Year by Eater, a popular media site dedicated to restaurants, food and dining across the U.S. CASSIS shares space on the list with other newly opened restaurants including Chicago's Creepies, Philadelphia's Bomb Bomb Bar, Los Angeles's Maydan Market, New York City's Somsii and San Francisco's Restaurant Naides. To determine the list, Eater editors spent months scouting 44 cities across the country to identify winners in 20 different locations. Additional categories in this year's Eater Awards were Chef of the Year, Best New Bakery or Cafe, Dish of the Year and Best New Bars. CASSIS is the only Milwaukee restaurant recognized at the 2026 Eater Awards. "Cassis is big in every sense," wrote Eater Deputy Editor Hilary Pollack, adding that it "channels the conviviality and polish of a classic, old-world French brasserie while remaining distinctly Midwestern in spirit. It’s an all-day restaurant with both heart and panache." "Cassis could exist — and surely thrive — in New York or Las Vegas, but it’s more exciting in Milwaukee,

The Duck At This Restaurant In Wisconsin Is So Good, You’ll Crave It All Year

A kitchen in Wisconsin hand de-bones a roast half duck, then pairs it with scratch stuffing and homemade duck gravy. That’s not a weekend project, it’s a house specialty. The plate also comes with cranberry compote, so sweet and tart both get a seat at the table. Meanwhile, hand-painted murals started in 1933 cover the dining room walls around you.
