Supernova Coffee & Doughnuts

3rd Steet Market Hall – 275 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee

This is the coffee and doughnut place in the relatively new 3rd Street Market Hall (replacing the Applebee’s and “food court” from the old Grand Ave Mall—in case you’ve been gone for a while). Supernova is near the Wisconsin Ave. entrance, and they have a cute little seating area with a few tables and a couch. I got an espresso, which was good, and sat a few minutes—it wouldn’t be a bad place to meet someone and talk—and there were two small groups doing just that. It’s always a little sad getting espresso in a paper cup, but here, at least, it gives you the flexibility to go sit anywhere in the place—or even to leave the Market altogether (the piped in music is dreadful), and there are a number of quieter tables along the skywalk, which now extends from the Hyatt to the other side of the river. I asked about the future of gluten-free doughnuts (an obsession of mine) and the woman working hinted that they may move their location within the Market Hall, add more space, and expand to include GF doughnuts, fried in a GF fryer—which is rare indeed. When that time comes, I’ll do another review, and it will include doughnuts.
