Established "a long time ago" in downtown Milwaukee, Alderaan Coffee is a quiet coffeehouse boasting fresh-baked goodies, a coffee lover's choice of drip, cold brew, or pour-over, and syrups made in house. There's work space with solid wifi and ample outlets for students and business types. With a simple, modern aesthetic with warm wooden accents, the average customer might not think twice about the name. But for the nerds, there are details like the Imperial blend coffee beans, blue Bantha milk that can get added to any drink, and Star Wars sound effects that sound off the hour. The owner maintains a photo album of customers in cosplay and also keeps a stash of dice behind the bar for pencil-and-paper adventures.
