Crossroads Collective

After six vibrant years at the heart of the East Side, Crossroads Collective is closing its doors, but its legacy will live on.

More than just a food hall, Crossroads Collective was a launchpad for dozens of local entrepreneurs. It offered an accessible, supportive home to small food vendors finding their footing, and it opened its doors to countless artists, makers, and community organizers through pop-up markets, showcases, and events. It wasn’t just a place to eat—it was a place to connect.

Crossroads was also a key player in shaping some of the East Side’s most memorable community events, including Sunset Sounds and Black Cat Rising concerts. Its team worked with heart, creativity, and a true love for the neighborhood, bringing people together and helping our community grow.

To the Crossroads Collective team: thank you for everything. The East Side is better because of the space you created and the dreams you helped bring to life. You’ll be missed, and your impact will be felt for years to come.

While we bid farewell to Crossroads Collective, we're excited to welcome a new chapter at 2238 N. Farwell Ave. This fall, Nadi Plates , a family-run Italian food truck and catering business, will open its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in the former food hall space. The new establishment will feature Italian small plates, a European-style espresso bar, and a full bar with cocktails and wine, all with a focus on plant-based and gluten-free options. In the meantime, Nadi Plates plans to host a series of pop-up events in Ivanhoe Plaza this summer to introduce themselves to the neighborhood.

It’s Last Call, Milwaukee! 🍻 Join us tomorrow for our final gathering at Crossroads Collective, one last night of food, drinks, live music, and pop-ups in Ivanhoe Plaza. As a thank you, if you stop in and make a purchase at any vendor from now through tomorrow night, you’ll score a FREE Crossroads T-Shirt or hat while supplies last. Come grab a bite, a drink, and a little piece of Crossroads before we close this chapter.
