Alterra is more than just Milwaukee’s answer to
Starbucks—its menu offers more diversity than its competitor. In addition to
retail coffee and plenty of caffeinated beverages, Alterra offers salads,
sandwiches and baked goods. Breakfast is served all day. The newest Alterra
location is at 4500 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood. Although the building is new,
concrete floors and exposed ceiling mechanicals give it the look of a loft in
the Historic Third Ward. Seating can be found at tables with mismatched wooden
chairs and a counter that stretches along the Oakland Avenue window. There also
are a few sofas and easy chairs. Alterra is a great local success story, one
that continues to build—the Shorewood locale was busy within days of opening.

I absolutely love the new Alterra in Shorewood. It's wonderful to have one right in the neighborhood. The corner of Kensington and Oakland is really coming to life. The Shorewood redevelopment plan seems to going quite well so far. Keep up the good work and thanks for moving in Alterra!
