There’s something about a warm churro that makes you forget your winter coat. Milwaukee knows this better than most, especially when the lake wind cuts straight through your jacket on Water Street.

We chased the cinnamon-sugar crunch from Azteca Bakery’s made-to-order sticks to Blue Bat Kitchen’s chocolate-dunking bar tradition, and both deliver. Proof: one spot serves them with a Bloody Mary, the other with a full empanada menu.

So grab a napkin. The best churros in this town are worth the sugar crash.
