The Amaranth Cafe and Bakery

The Amaranth Café and Bakery was started by Dave Boucher, an Urban Studies major from UWM, whose goal is to improve the area he calls home. Mr. Boucher lives on 34th street and West Lisbon, which is also where his bakery is located. Dave Boucher has gone through a lot of trials when dealing with the neighborhood that he lives in, but has faith that one day his efforts will be paid off and improvements in this crime-ridden area will be celebrated. The main goal behind the bakery that he opened was to expose the neighborhood to the healthy alternatives that can be made in place of fast food joints. All his baked goods and food is all natural and very healthy. On Tuesday nights, he offers “Pay what you can soup nights”, where he opens up his café to anyone who would like to have some healthy soups (which are delicious) for whatever they can afford. By having his café located where a drug house used to be, Dave Boucher is showing the public that change is a very good thing. Amaranth Bakery & Cafe is located at 3329 W. Lisbon Avenue Milwaukee WI. His phone number is (414) 934-0587. Email- amaranthbc@gmail.com. Amaranth Bakery & Cafe Hours are Tuesday - Saturday 7:00 am- 2:00 Tuesday nights are open late for "Pay what you can soup night"
