Erin Kelly, owner of the newly opened Kelly’s Greens, shares her 8 favorite spots in Wauwatosa.

Ray’s Growler Gallery. We love our friends at the Growler Gallery. It’s the perfect place to enjoy top-notch beer, wine or spirits with great company. It’s the kind of place that is filled with a lovely cast of characters that live in the Ray-borhood. And, their events are ALWAYS amazing.

Le Reve. The lovely patio is the perfect place for brunch after the farmers’ market. The planters are overflowing with gorgeous flowers, the coffee is strong, and the brunch is seriously the best around. And that bakery case? Swoon.

Tosa Farmers’ Market. I love a good day at the farmers’ market. Especially when the Heirloom tomatoes are ripe. Picking up all of the fixings for a late summer BLT is what dreams are made.

Draft & Vessel Tosa. So many great beer options on tap, and their outdoor patio tucked in the back is a gem. They host live music and Irish sessions, too. I’m always a sucker for a place with a shuffleboard table.

Niemann’s Candies. Niemann’s is the dreamiest old-school candy shop around. They’re making candy like Lucy and Ethel, folks. It’s adorable, and the candy is out of this world. They make the family recipe toffee in a giant copper kettle over a live flame. AND they make homemade ice cream with their candy. Unreal.

Tosa Tonight. Live music in a park is the best. Add in a picnic basket of bevies and snacks and it’s a perfect night out.

Celtic MKE/Irish Fest Office. I mean, when you’re the original Irish Fest Freckle contest winner(1986), the Celtic MKE office is essential. It sure makes it convenient to attend meetings for volunteers to get the scoop about what to expect at the next Irish Fest. When I say 80, you say 6!

Kelly’s Greens. In my totally unbiased opinion, the best spot to grab some tasty CBD treats! In all seriousness, it has been a dream to be able to open up my shop in the wonderful Wauwatosa community. I feel so lucky to be able to help people have access to safe (and delicious!) products.
