Beans & Barley is an institution on Milwaukee's East Side. The 35-year old business is known both as a social hub and a seller of wholesome, homemade food.

As a neighborhood "specialty" grocery store for the East Side and greater Milwaukee, they offer everything from fresh produce to "fresh" greeting cards. From its beginnings as a Hippie health food store, it has carried full lines of vitamins and supplements, as well as homeopathies, books, and body care.

The "all-homemade" deli, with a large selection of hot and cold foods to go, includes a full menu of carry-out food from the restaurant menu.

The restaurant itself seats eighty-five people indoors, in addition to summer patio seating, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. The menu includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian specialties, beer and wine.
