This place is amazing. From their regular menu to their rotating specials, everything is always on point! Thank you Cafe Manna I can’t say enough good things about this establishment. If you’re a regular keep going, if you haven’t eaten here you’re missing out.

Delicious—and healthy!—vegetarian and vegan food! I loved that almost anything on the menu could be made vegan and gluten-free. The server even brought out some pieces of sweet potato for our dog who was with us on the patio. A lovely dining experience.

I’m not a vegetarian, but Café Manna completely won me over. The menu is huge, filled with flavor-packed dishes layered with rich, savory, umami notes that make every bite satisfying. Think vibrant plates that look as good as they taste. I’ll definitely be back soon! I'll more photos next time.

I've eaten here a couple times when I visit family since I'm vegan. Nice selection and fresh options. Non vegans enjoy the food, and there is a good dessert menu esp for vegans used to never getting a dessert. Plan to keep coming back when in town.

The food is incredible here. The temperature inside the restaurant was set at 68° F and it felt like I was sitting in a refrigerator. They told us there were no outside seats but I came to find that they had three tables behind the restaurant that were basically not being used except as a break area. For two people the total came to $100 and while the ingredients are impeccable I think there's a price value issue here. If money isn't a problem for you and you want some of the best vegetarian and vegan food you can find in southeast Wisconsin, this is your place. If you are susceptible to cold unless they have a table outside, I don't recommend it

I booked a reservation for 6:30 pm this past Saturday evening, for a date night. We decided to sit outside, and got sat at the exact same time as another 2 top outside. As we were walking out, I heard one of their servers ask if “they” had reservations (mind you there were 2 different couples: us, and the people who got there 30 seconds before us - the couple that arrived 30 seconds before us did not have reservations, and we did). Either way, the server told the other server an oversimplified “no” about “us” having reservations (we had reservations and the other couple did not). The server who asked then made an annoyed face. Truthfully I didn’t think too much about this interaction until 20 minutes later when we were sitting at our table without water, and without having been greeted… the table that arrived 30 seconds before us and was sat at the same time as us, had waters and the server came back with drinks for them without even having greeted us… y'all I am not high maintenance. I don’t like to leave bad reviews at restaurants… especially having been a server myself. But 20+ minutes without water, and without being greeted by a server, even to let us know they were busy and service might be a bit slow… left a bad taste in my mouth. That server could have easily set 2 extra waters on a tray and set them down at our table and let us know she was a bit busy tonight (we were sat at the exact same time as the other couple). I was a server for many years and this is exactly what I would have done. So yeah, never got to find out how the food was, because I asked my boyfriend to go inside to talk to someone to try to get us some water, and that took forever and still no one had come out to bring us water by the time he got back. I get they were busy, but given the situation, it made zero sense and I got bad vibes all around. I am not sure if the server who decided not to greet us, thought we were the ones who did not have reservations and therefore wanted to give us terrible service, but either way she was extremely unprofessional. I am so thankful we decided to leave to go to Vino Cappuccino instead (by the time we left, still no one had come outside with waters lol). We had an excellent time there, with outstanding service at Vino Cappuccino!

I traveled from Appleton to try this restaurant with my Vegan best friend. Jade was our server and she was awesome. I wasn’t a fan of my food and she not only took it off the bill, but remembered what other options I had in mind and asked me if I would like something different. She was very kind and personable. Though I wasn’t a fan of my meal, I will be back to try other things because this establishment has very kind servers and kitchen workers. Just all around a positive place.

I've been meaning to post a review for awhile. This is my favorite place. The food is amazing, and the staff is always so friendly! My friend and I come in occasionally and they always remember me and when I came alone they asked about him. The food is super reasonably priced. I feel like a lot of vegetarian/vegan restaurants charge more because it's sort of niche.
I have loved everything I've tried. The portobello burger with the au jus for dipping is my favorite but I also love the artichoke and asparagus grilled cheese and the spicy noodles. The sweet potato fries could be a little crispier, but they are still super delicious and come with a really good dipping sauce. I would highly suggest checking this place out even if you aren't vegetarian or vegan.

I have dined in years ago before covid and enjoyed the service and the atmosphere.

My most recent order was through Uber Eats, and is what this review is for.

The portabella melt and au jus did not disappoint, and is one of my favorites - ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

I tried the gyros, and wanted so much to love them. They have so much potential, but must I admit I have some constructive feedback, no offense intended.
1) The amount of fresh tomato, cucumber and red onion was right, but it was cut so thick it was hard to eat without it coming apart and difficult to get a bite of everything together. The veg was also under seasoned - cutting each ingredient a little thinner ( but still giving the same amount) and adding salt, pepper, and lemon would improve it imho.
2) I did not understand the tzatziki at all! Way too much mint. It was screaming for fresh lemon, fresh dill, as well as finely diced diced cucumber and white onion.
3) Vegan feta crumbles and kalamata olives would really elevate this dish. I would live to try again if it got a minor a makeover.

My daughter and I truly miss the Tu-No-Melt sandwich, and the Mediterranean platter you used to have with the fresh veggies and the three kinds of vegan cheese and the nut crisps/crackers. The walnut feta was my FAV! Very sad to have seen they have left the menu. I sure wish these items would make a come back!

To call this spot a gem would be an understatement. As a vegan or vegetarian, you get a true fine dining experience—without the fine dining prices. Everything on the menu is a 10/10, and their specials are always so on point that the hardest part of coming here is choosing what to order.

I've been coming to Café Mana for years and have introduced plenty of non-vegans and non-vegetarians to it—every single one has had amazing things to say. The food is always flavorful, our orders are always spot on, and even my dad—a self-proclaimed carnivore who usually wouldn't go near vegan food—really enjoyed his meal.

Even after moving out of the Milwaukee area, I still make the 1-hour-and-20-minute drive just to eat here. Every special occasion, big moment in my life, or birthday, I choose to celebrate at Café Mana.

They do get slammed at times, but the staff always does their best to keep things running smoothly, and the quality of service never takes a hit.

But what truly sets this place apart is the customer service. Theresa treats everyone like family, and I believe she’s the reason they have so many loyal regulars. She gives honest recommendations, makes every guest feel like an old friend, and goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each table she serves.

As a proud vegan, this is my absolute favorite restaurant in the world. Even if you're not vegan or vegetarian, it’s worth a visit especially for the "crab cakes"!

Called in a carry out order at nearly 5pm on a Friday for a roasted beet salad with a cheese substitution. Was ready in under 20 minutes, hostess greeted me quickly and asked if I needed utensils. Upon returning home I was anxiously ready to eat as I hadn’t been there in years. As much as I wanted to like the combination of beets and sweet potatoes, I just didn’t. It should maybe be called a Root Vegetable salad to give a more accurate description as there seemed to be more potatoes vs beets? I will return to try one of the other many gluten free and clean menu items.

My wife’s vegetarian and I’m trying a gluten free diet, so dining out is now a challenge. This was our first visit here but it won’t be the last. We had lunch and the serving sizes were such that we will not need dinner. We had superb and friendly service. Everything was delicious. For an appetizer we had what the menu described as a beverage – potassium broth – half of which was brought home it was so large an amount. I also had the Peace Bowl with noodles because it was gluten free. The mild coconut curry sauce in it made it really tasty. Again, it was so large I had to bring some home. My wife had a common vegetarian’s fall-back meal of Portabella Melt and declared it the best she’d ever had. Looking forward to going there again, even if I’m no longer on a gluten free diet.

Even though the air conditioning mechanics were on strike yesterday, prompting an early closure, Cafe Manna is back today, open for sociable service with special strawberry 🍓 cucumber 🥒 salad 🥗 (available only until September 4th).

There are also sustainable ingredients to spare in the standout Peace Bowl from the regular menu, providing heart health benefits with a curry coconut sauce!

A quaint patio offering fresh breeze during brunch, this is the best move when planning a vegan / vegetarian date, and, be prepared to order by checking the weekly special menu on their website for absolutely appetizing and colorful images. - Wow, the food is so happily and encouragingly-presented that I’d want to try something new every day!

Finally, when I picked up takeout today, the restaurant was cool inside and quite comfortable 😌

Thank you so much, Cafe Manna! I love being your customer!

Service was decent overall, but slow to start. We sat for several minutes with no water and no acknowledgement. We had decided on the whole meal (appetizers, mains, drinks) before the server came over and even said hi. The staff dynamic was a little strange there was a different lady who greeted us and she seemed to be helping buss tables but that was the limit to her capabilities?? I still don't know why she didn't bring us water after seating us. The restaurant is small and there were only 3 other tables when we arrived so the delay in service was just frustrating. The food, however, was pretty great and I normally say good food can't make up for bad service but I would be willing to try this place again just for the food!

I tried the place hoping for a good vegetarian place but was left disappointed. I got the brown butter bolognese, and my boyfriend got the portobello sandwich. His sandwich was great, good bread and a nice dipping sauce. The side of vegetables could have been done longer. The bolognese was awful, it somehow smelled and tasted like barbecue sauce??? I don’t understand how that happens to a simple tomato sauce. I only took two bites and told the waitress about the issue. They didn’t take it off the bill. Also my boyfriend got what was supposed to be a passion fruit blackberry cocktail, but they only gave him the blackberry half of the drink. I just can’t get over how terrible the pasta was, and that they didn’t take it off the bill.

I really wanted to take my son out for good vegetarian food when he was visiting recently as he is so good about eating at other non vegetarian restaurants. Several people recommended cafe manna. No one warned us to get reservations and I wasn’t sure of the time as we were getting him from the airport. When we arrived there were two empty tables and she asked if we had reservations and essentially looked at us like dirt had just walked into her restaurant. When we said no she didn’t offer to put us down for later or to wait. A nearby table offered their table and it was obvious that annoyed her as well. She said she needed their table as well. It was 5:05 and we asked what the wait would be. She said 20 minutes but that wasn’t really an option. So if she had two tables plus one leaving soon and the wait was 20 minutes it was pretty clear she was just determined not to seat us. I guess we had ‘not from Brookfield’ stamped on our foreheads. Went back to Wauwatosa to eat at one of their fine less judgmental restaurants. Taking this one off the list. In reference to the owners comment the problem wasn’t that we could not be seated right away. She didn’t say there were no reservation times open the rest of the night. She said the wait was 20 minutes but waiting was not an option for us. It was loud and rude and actually embarrassed the customer that offered their table. Most of the restaurant was aware of what was going on. For whatever reason we were not good enough to eat there so we won’t be making that mistake again.

I am vegan and this restaurant provides so many amazing vegan options! I have been going to Cafe Manna for many years. The flavors and quality of food I have not experienced anywhere else! The customer service is always very friendly and knowledgeable. Jade and Theresa are amazing servers! I don't like brussel sprouts at all, but I love Cafe Manna's garlic roasted brussel sprouts:) I have many favorite dishes on the menu but I really like the weekly specials menu. The desserts are good and the frosting is not overwhelmingly sweet but loaded with flavor! I would highly recommend Cafe Manna as I have traveled all around the States and visited many vegan restaurants but never found a restaurant that has exceeded Cafe Manna's food or experience!

Cafe Manna is one of my favorite restaurants and while I’ve been going there for years (maybe a decade?) I decided to finally post a review of my all time faves. Their food is creative, very flavorful, and always wants me coming back to try something new. It blows my mind that some of my favorites are vegan because I love dairy. But I would never know! Also I have a slight obsession with their limonade which is amazing. And yes there is a kids menu but my daughter and I usually share the faves. Portions are generous so yay for leftovers! Pictured is the limonade, Thai peanut cauliflower dish, and the chocolate chip torte (all three vegan).
GO HERE if you love FLAVOR. I’m a meat eater and love my dairy and cheese, but I will continue to come back for the delicious food and thoughtful dishes.

Desserts are heavenly!

They have great vegan and vegetarian options. I would like them to make desserts without Earth Balance or other oils which tend to make dishes heavy. More oil-free options for the other courses would also be appreciated. Café Manna has a winning idea of a restaurant without meat. They have vegan, raw, and gluten free icons for each dish. It would be great if they added an oil free icon for the many plant based whole foods eaters who avoid processed foods.

We just ate there last night 1-27-24 and we had an excellent server. I think her name was Jade. She informed me which meals were oil-free and she asked the chef to make my crab cakes without oil. She also gave me a side sauce that didn't have oil. So I was very satisfied with my meal ! As for the dessert, she told me that chocolacados were the dessert with the least oil. Boy we're they delicious !

I would love the chef to create an oil-free option and icon for whole foods plant based eaters like me. There are an increasing number of us. That would attract this group of people who are trying to have the most nutrient-dense meals.

We love Cafe Manna for celebrations like birthdays and such. We travel over an hour to eat there !

It is quintessential Brookfield. It has a classy atmosphere and the food is good. However, if you have a nut allergy, be careful - there is a lot of cross contamination, and cashews are in everything. Ask for specific ingredients.

My wife and I came here for an anniversary dinner after I did some research on local vegan places. We aren't vegan but my wife can't eat dairy so it can be challenging to find places with good options.

The space itself is fairly small so it did get a little loud at times, but nothing too bad. The two servers were quite busy handling all of the tables and the take out, but our service was still great.
Everything on the menu is clearly labeled vegan/vegetarian/gluten free.

For starters we tried the potato skins and the nachos. I'd recommend either but the potatoes were the favorite. For dinner my wife has the veggie burgers which she said was the best one she's had. I had the Thai peanut cauliflower which was good and definitely a large portion. For dessert we tried the truffles and chocolate torte and both were fantastic.

Finding vegan options in the area is a bit limited compared to some other large cities/areas, but Cafe manna offered a good selection and we left full. We will be back in the future

This is an updated review.
I've knocked one star off because 20% mandatory gratuity is being charged on all takeout orders. Who is getting that gratuity? The server? The cook? The OWNERS? Being a waitress myself for the last 25 years -- this is unheard of. I take to go orders all day long at my job and never once have we penalized the guests for not wanting to dine in. So, this makes me question the ethics of the owners. I need answers. I've messaged the owners to see what their reply will be.

Still my favorite restaurant in Wisconsin! Love the raw nachos, limeade, chocolate torte and our awesome server, Teresa. Worth every penny and the 2 hour drive one-way.

Get there NOW! You won't regret it!

I don’t know how I haven’t written a review sooner! Cafe Manna is AMAZING! I love that they are always adding new things to try with their weekly specials. The service is always quite good. You can tell the ingredients are quality and the concoctions they put together are to die for! In terms of plant based and “whole/healthy” eating you can’t get any better. Seriously, this place is probably the best restaurant I’ve tried as a vegetarian. A couple times Theresa was my server and she is nothing short of amazing. She has a positive attitude that really puts you at peace. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is like that as well. The music is tranquil and instrumental and it’s a nice break in my day whenever I decide to make the trip out to Cafe Manna. I drive over a half hour and I’d go much further for them. I hope they start opening more locations! PS: if they ever have the reuben sandwich you will not regret getting it!

I'm not vegetarian and I thought this place was great! I got the portabella mushroom melt sandwich and it was amazing!

Only complaint was that the place is small and it took forever to be waited on. We were seated and waited 10 mins before anyone checked in with us.

This is a vegetarian place. Very good. Got the limonade and green juice. They are fresh pressed. Had the chili, that was great. Did not care for my gyro. Tu-no is a big hit with us. Lettuce wraps were decent, and the "crab" cake was good. Service is always pleasant. Recommended. It is a tad pricey though, but everything is fresh.

I mentioned to my server Theresa I would post these pictures. I'm not vegan. But I was amazed by the flavoring of their chili! I will definitely be back! The smiles and hospitality were second to none! I highly recommend this place. Those that know me ,know..... I'm very picky!

A little pricy but certainly a great more luxurious vegan/vegetarian dining experience! Great service, such beautiful fresh foods, good cocktails, wonderful. I will be back, I felt so special ordering off of a fully veg menu! Delish food that isn't all salads, but has LOTS of healthy options.

Food is good and having a fully vegetarian restaurant is great. However, for takeout there is a 20% mandatory gratuity which is out of line.

Whenever I am in Brookfield I come to this place. This is my favorite restaurant. I highly recommend coming here. The waitstaff is friendly. ( Teresa is best one here) I would highly recommend asking for her. The food is delicious, and one the only places that I found that is gluten Free, vegan and vegetarian needs.

This is probably my favorite place to go for vegan and gluten-free dining in the Milwaukee area! Food has been great every time I’ve gone there, the restaurant is very simple and clean, and the service has been outstanding.

First I want to say that I don't usually go to vegetarian/vegan restaurants. My friend us vegan so I chose this place based on their menu sounding appetizing. They did not disappoint. I had the portobello melt with Brussels sprouts and I normally don't eat Brussels sprouts but they were actually delicious and I would order them again from there. My sandwich was so so good and it came with au jus to dip it in, the cheese was melty and the mushrooms and onions all blended together in a way that you would've thought you were eating meat. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing and peaceful. I also had the hot apple cider and I can truly say I've never had better at any other restaurant I've been to. I'm definitely adding this place to my list of places to eat at again and again.

I thought I wrote a review years ago! I guess they are all on Facebook.

If you are vegan, you absolutely MUST give Cafe Manna a try. They have something for everyone. Soup, salad and incredible entrees. The desserts are amazing and don’t worry there are seasonal changes.

What I love most is the option to order during the holidays. I’ve ordered the past few years. Cafe Manna NEVER disappoints. Never! Ordering for the holiday is an absolute delight because the vegan food is delicious, fresh, plentiful and good quality.

This year I ordered the mushroom artichoke Rockefeller, truffle Mac n cheese and the Manna Thanksgiving Plate. Yum!!!

So grateful for this place.

I was soooo excited to learn of a vegetarian spot in this area! Visiting family in a nearby area always causes challenges in finding locations with more than 1 or 2 (if any!) vegetarian or vegan options, so to find this place was an absolute delight and relief. Everyone loved their food and there was also great local beer options.

I met a friend at Café Maná for lunch today (7/6/22). I don’t wanting to try this place for sometime but couldn’t find anybody that would go with me to a place that served mostly vegan, raw, and gluten-free food. The past reviews were definitely right on point.

I had the special which was three jackfruit tacos with black beans and it was wonderful. The guy I was with had the Portabella mushroom sandwich and really enjoyed it. We shared the Asian lettuce wraps as an appetizer and they were very tasty and had just the right amount of heat with the sauce they spring it with. There was only one server that was working the restaurant and outside today and yet the service was impeccable. Our server was very efficient and she also took time to tell us what she liked on the menu and answer questions.

I have celiac and did not get sick. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to anyone.

The only downside to this visit is that my blood sugar went crazy after eating there. I went from 160 up to about 380 and sat there for a couple of hours. I may have missed judged the amount of carbs but my guess is that there was more sugar in the foods than I would’ve thought. Regardless - great place, great food, and great service.

Usually one of my go to places, but the food just wasn't the same today. Ordered the cauliflower dish and there was NO spice and the sauce wasn't consistent. The taste was very wartey. Hope this doesn't become a regular occurance.

***Update: Have been back a few times because I have to give small businesses the benefit of the doubt. We all have bad days. The food has been amazing every time!! The service is always great, so definetly go and have lunch, dinner or brunch!!

We joined another couple at Cafe Manna for lunch. We aren't vegetarians, but this was really good food.

We were impressed by the Cafe's commitment to the environment. They have really gone green! Essentially everything is locally sourced, and everything had green in mind, including the tables and chairs...even the floors were bamboo.

Even better, the food was very good!

I had the "Peace Bowl", featuring a base of brown rice and quinoa, with pan roasted cauliflower, broccoli, bell pepper, and sweet potato, accompanied by a sweet coconut curry and cashews. I really liked that dish.

My wife had the "Asian Lettuce Wraps", with wild mushrooms, bean sprouts, green onion, and tofu, sauteed with maple ginger tamari sauce. Served with crispy rice sticks, sambal chili sauce, and mango salsa, along with tender butter lettuce for wrapping. That was good, but a bit hard to eat. The rice sticks kept popping out of the wrap.

Another order was the "Spicy Cashew Cauliflower". That was a lightly breaded and baked cauliflower, tossed with carrot, celery, onion, and edamame in a spicy glaze. It came with udon noodles, with a ginger cashew sauce. That was excellent...I'll go for that next time.

The coffee was really good too!

We topped it off with a dessert plate of chocolates. Terrific!

I am always in search of delicious vegan food, and sometimes it’s hard to come by, even in Milwaukee! This was not the case at Cafe Manna - the food here was OUTSTANDING. We went all out and had the crab cakes, lettuce wraps, miso bowl, Philly cheese steak sandwich, Brussels sprouts, and spicy cauliflower bowl, all vegan. It was all above and beyond fantastic! Even the presentation was fabulous. They have a great beer and wine selection, and I was served a mini vegan funfetti cake for my birthday which was to die for. A huge thank you Theresa who was our lovely server and made our experience so pleasant 💜 We are so lucky to have discovered this beautiful veggie gem and cannot wait to come back.

Pro tip: if you have a choice of cheese, the house made nut cheese is the way to go. Absolutely delicious.
