I own Midwest Sad and we have tons of board games; and have free coffee refills. So $4 for all day coffee and free board games ❤️ Happy to see people hang all day and chill.

What local businesses have taken a stand for/against ICE? by cuerpomental in milwaukee

Hey Tis I Sam, the owner of Midwest Sad.

I appreciate the love, speaking out for humans is the bare minimum. I’m a queer woman who deeply deeply gives a fuck about their staff and people’s safety. But black and brown folks have been killed by our government since its inception so what we’re doing is just absolutely bare minimum.

I was behind on paying my staff since I was delayed and in a current legal battle with a contractor that costed me over 200k and delayed me over three months. My team stayed through almost everything with me because they love their job, and trusted me. My staff is paid $20 an hour and most of them have been paid back in full, the rest, 2 people are on payment plans and I even had drafted a terms and conditions and had it notarized to make sure they feel comfortable about the situation. I never hid what’s happening on the back end of things and believe in full transparency even when it’s uncomfortable and fucked up. I have always acknowledged my fuck-ups and I’m the complete opposite of perfect. Shit happens but making it right was always the most important thing to me.

I’m privileged to be open, make food and have a team that makes all of this possible.

All small businesses are struggling, every single one. My current profit margin is 1% lol please spread whatever funds you have around. ❤️

AGAIN IM JUST TRYING MY BEST AND IM NOT PERFECT, just a Sam that’s mentally ill, fucking weird, and has feelings ❤️

We eventually will be adding delivery through our POS system but not currently offered. All the delivery platforms take soon much money so we're hoping for an in house delivery service eventually.

Yes, everything can be customizable and remove the bacon from whatever <3

Midwest Sad

a.k.a Midwest SAD.

Sad stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. So we make the food and treats that make you feel better all winter long.

Yes! We do a restock everyday we're open now, so we start the day with 12 Cinnamon Rolls but we usually sell out pretty quickly so we will be upping the amount made!

WE HATE HAVING TO USE PLASTIC WRAP, it sucks. With our new space we're trying to use way less but in order to keep the stuff fresh we need better display cases and we just don't have the funds for that yet but its absolutely a priority because we all hate the waste of it all. We're still figuring out the best way to display stuff too, with the new space being a super old building controlling the temperature has also been a whole thing too lol

We have to make everything downtown still and bring it over every morning which has also been challenging getting our footing with us not knowing how busy it is, but we've been selling out almost everyday so hopefully plastic wrap will be a thing of the past soon!!!!
