First time here. Been to the other Ally's Bistro location in Menomonee Falls, which is a nice spot, but I like this one more. It's the old Power House station for Wauwatosa and was renovated in 2020. It's a beautiful building with brick walls, high ceilings, and classic looking doors and windows. There are a couple of other businesses that reside in this space. Came for breakfast with my brother. There were several other small groups there. The ordering counter is just inside the entrance. There are a couple of difficult areas to sit, and plenty of space between the tables, high tops, bar, and counters. The noise level was quiet, so perfect for having casual conversations. We got a couple of hot beverages, and they did a great job with my London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra foam), in a heavy mug. For food, he got a Pat's Scramble and the Mikey's French Toast. It didn't take long to get our food; hot, good flavors, and nice portions. The French Toast has this crispy coating (crushed corn flakes? I should have asked?), and it's grilled to perfection. The berries and whipped cream made it seem like a dessert. So good! The entire time we got terrific service from the staff that brought the drinks, the food, and cleared our plates. Very friendly and attentive the entire time. Would definitely come back again!

We held our holiday at Ally's Powerhouse in Wauwatosa and couldn't have been more impressed. Amazing staff, service, food and drinks! Beyond our expectations!!! The venue was decorated perfectly. Plenty of room for guests to move about. Thank you to Michelle and her staff for our favorite holiday party yet!

This is a cafe that feels like a restaurant and bar. It's a really unique vibe that works well. Atmosphere is nice. It's clean. Definitely a bit of a younger crowd. It's kind of handicap accessible - there's a chair lift to the lower sitting area but not to the far back space. The food was pretty good. The long way home wrap was phenomenal. The crispy french toast is interesting - it's definitely crispy. The hash browns are crispy, not too seasoned, and we're really good. The fruit was fresh. The service was good - they delivered food timely, we were greeted immediately come in. They waitresses are polite, thorough, and very helpful. This was a nice little find, we were not expecting it to be here.
