Milwaukee, WI – Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. in Walker’s Point will host its THIRD annual Bean Plant Block Party on Sunday, September 22 from 12 – 9 p.m.

The event will take place outside on Bruce St. between 2nd and 3rd streets and will feature skateboard ramps and obstacles provided by Cream City Skatepark, a portable rock wall from Adventure Rock, beer from Indeed Brewing Co, snacks and beverages from Station 1848 (City Tours MKE), vintage market by 414Flea, live music, food trucks and more!

The event is free and open to the public, and skaters of all skill levels are encouraged to participate!

“It’s hard to believe we’re reflecting on 25 years of roasting coffee and building community in Milwaukee and we wanted to celebrate in a big way,” says Erica Karls, Events Director and event co-organizer.


Since Anodyne’s start in 1999 on Brady Street, the company has grown to include four cafes across the city including a 5,000+ square foot roastery that doubles as a unique private event space.

Anodyne Coffee will host the outdoor event from 12 – 5 p.m. and then shift indoors to the intimate stage for a very special FREE Anniversary Concert from 6 – 9 p.m. All are welcome!

New this year, the folks at Cream City will be hosting an open skate session for kids from 12 – 12:45 p.m. Boards and pads will be provided for any kiddos looking to safely dip their toes! Waivers will be required for your child to participate.

“With so many skaters and musicians working at Anodyne, this feels like the perfect way to throw a solid party with our local community, cafe regulars, wholesale customers, and the whole Anodyne crew,” says Drew Kasten, Digital Marketing and Design Manager.
