A coffee shop known for pairing espresso drinks with over-the-top dessert milkshakes has landed on one of Muskego’s busiest commercial strips, giving Waukesha County commuters a new drive-thru option for their morning fix. Better Together Cafe opened its second storefront at W137S6360 W. Janesville Road, following a soft opening in March and an official grand opening on March 21, 2026.
The expansion marks a milestone for founders Becky and Zachary Kinzer, who built the business from a mobile espresso and milkshake trailer into a full-fledged cafe brand, according to the Better Business Bureau. The couple’s first permanent location opened in August 2021 at 1301 N. Chicago Avenue in South Milwaukee, a roughly 25-seat spot that established the brand’s signature mix of espresso beverages and craft milkshakes, as reported by Urban Milwaukee. FOX6 News Milwaukee’s Brian Kramp visited the Muskego shop in a segment that aired Monday, describing it as a new coffee hot spot bringing people together one cup at a time, according to fox6now.com.
The Muskego location adds something the original South Milwaukee shop doesn’t have: a drive-thru lane alongside indoor seating, catering to commuters along Janesville Road. Standard hours run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, per the cafe’s announcement of its opening.
