Your Trusted Restaurant & Catering Service in Milwaukee Since 1973
Established in 1973, Beans & Barley has grown from a small health-food store into a beloved Milwaukee institution. Our journey began with a commitment to quality, value, and fun, which remains at the heart of everything we do. Over decades, we expanded our offerings to include a full-service deli, an 80-seat cafe serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a comprehensive catering department. Despite a devastating fire in 1993, we rebuilt stronger, maintaining our dedication to fresh, homemade food that caters to vegetarians, non-vegetarians, and vegans alike.Today, our market features groceries, home goods, and unique gifts, while our catering services accommodate events from intimate gatherings to weddings for 200 guests. We prioritize customer satisfaction through flexible ordering options, including online pickup and delivery, and maintain transparent communication via direct phone contact. Our team combines decades of culinary expertise with a passion for community, ensuring every guest experiences real, good food in a welcoming environment.
