Road-coder's haven: the Apollo Café in Milwaukee

It is not often that I will write a rave review of a Café, but the Apollo in Milwaukee (1310 E Brady St, across from Rochambo) is like a dream come true, especially for a road-coder like myself, away from home over a holiday.

Excellent dining meets good, honest, black coffee (and plenty of it) in a clean, smoke-free, well managed and unobtrusive atmosphere. I highly recommend the food, the prices are excellent, and the entire experience lends itself to study and especially to software development.

I found several electrical outlets, and was able to piggyback on the Rochambo coffee shop's wireless network (password protected, you might want to stop in and make a purchase, get the password and relocate across the street for a smoke-free afternoon.) I have been more impressed with this little gem than with any other Café in Milwaukee, including Rochambo and Anodyne, both of which came highly recommended but left much to be desired. I will definitely look forward to stopping into the Apollo during my next visit to Milwaukee.
