Welcome Our New Businesses!

We’d like to extend a super sweet welcome to Blooming Lotus Gourmet Bakery and Milwaukee Yoga Center who opened recently at 3948 Maryland Avenue. For those who aren’t familiar, Milwaukee Yoga Center recently celebrated their 20 year anniversary. In addition, this is Blooming Lotus Bakery’s 2nd location. (Two different companies with the same owner in the same space) The bakery offers an amazing variety of gluten free, vegan, egg free, grain free, soy free and Kosher treats which are all ridiculously delicious. Stop in and grab some for the Halloween weekend – open Thursday thru Sunday from 9am to 1pm!

Coming Soon!

In spite of the pandemic raging on, we are excited that there are a few businesses heading our way soon. Opening sometime in November (fingers crossed) we are looking forward to checking out Scout Wine. “Luke and I are thrilled to introduce to Scout Wine Merchants to Shorewood. Through Scout we can follow our passions of exploration and discovery all while introducing people to new experiences and products in an environment where the neighborhood can relax and enjoy.” said owner, Emily Laga.

We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of Fiddleheads Coffee Roasters, scheduled to open before the end of the year. Founded in Thiensville, WI, Fiddleheads is a family-owned specialty coffee company with multiple cafes, a small-batch coffee roastery, and artisan bakery. I don’t know about all of you, but to me there is no such thing as too much coffee…

Stay tuned – more businesses coming soon!
