About Us

It all started with our flagship location, established back in 2007 in Milwaukee’s Historic Downer Avenue neighborhood. Our first Grand Café came to fruition after many cycling excursions to the lowlands region of Europe. Inspired by the landmark Grand Cafés and our attachment to all things bicycling, Belgian biers, mussels, and frites (with heaps of aioli). Café Hollander integrates much of the area’s rich culture and recognizes the significance, and necessity for, that well-acquainted “neighborhood place” to gather, dine, and drink time and time again.

Throughout the years we have expanded our locations to Wauwatosa, Mequon, Madison, and Brookfield, and our story continues to be intimately rooted in each of the communities where we preside.
