I have been here a couple times and have always had a good experience. I like all their drinks, specially the lotus ones. I personally love the garlic chicken parm sandwich, the chips that come with it are delicious and fresh. Good breakfast options!

Google sent us, and thrilled it did. The burger made our top 3 Wisconsin burger list!

Each dish had its own unique taste! Really good food. Nice waitress. Good HOT coffee, not the lukewarm overheated stuff from other places.

This place is fantastic! I had the SW avocado toast with breakfeast potatoes and she had the hot honey chicken wrap. Both came out piping hot and quite delicious all at a very reasonable price. And the service...it is so good to see young people providing excellent service...that cannot be found everywhere anymore. And EACH of the young ladies were hard working and worked very well together

Big shoes to fill because Cafe on main was amazing. Wait staff was nice and there were a lot of them. Food came pretty fast. It's better than the other breakfast place in town but not quite up to Cafe on main if that's what you were expecting. The new interior is great it looks amazing inside. Like that they are using some local goods.

My husband and I made the trip here for the first time just last week after seeing all of their posts on Facebook. We were very happy with how friendly the staff was and how delicious the food was. We will for sure be returning again when we are in the area. I ordered the Bacon Jam Sandwich (incredible) and my husband ordered the French toast with sides (he loved his meal). We even ordered poutine to go for my father. We tried a bite of his food and it was amazing too! Definitely needs to be added to the menu. Can’t wait to try more!
