Each listed place's page gives the hours, the phone number and the details its sources state. # How a place gets on this list A place is listed when it is locally owned today and would make less sense anywhere else, under the [inclusion rule](/about/inclusion-rule); each page cites at least two sources, and the editor and the [Neighborhood Mayors](/mayors) check new places and corrections [editorial-policy]. # Listed places 3 places listed. ## [Concordia](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/concordia) - [Fruition Mke](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/cafes/fruition-mke): Fruition Mke at 825 N 27th St in Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County. ## [Fernwood](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/fernwood) - [Sprocket Cafe](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/cafes/sprocket-cafe): Sprocket Cafe at 3385 S Kinnickinnic AV in Milwaukee, a locally owned place in Milwaukee County. ## [Triangle](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/triangle) - [Pilcrow Coffee](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/cafes/pilcrow-coffee): Pilcrow Coffee at 416 W Walnut ST in Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County. # On record Little Milwaukee builds each record here from public data, such as City of Milwaukee licenses, and files it under this category.
