Been here several times, and the experience has always been very good…read more It's located on a moderately quiet street in Hartland. It has a few small tables outside in front. Inside, there is seating downstairs or upstairs, which tends to be a bit quieter (my choice). Also upstairs is a meeting room that you can reserve. The counter to order is at the back of the shop, which can feel a little distracting if you are sitting downstairs, with people lining up across the room. On this visit, I got a super friendly greeting from the cashier. Ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (a little vanilla, a little lavender, extra foam) in a mug, and a blueberry lemon scone. They do a nice job with the latte, and the scone was very good (might ask to have it warmed up next time). The place has a great vibe. The staff seem to enjoy themselves and treat everyone with kindness and respect. It's a great example of what a coffee shop should be.

Things that were off-putting: seems like a local fan-favorite and outsiders passing through are "meh". Not the warm and fuzzy welcome / vibe I typically find and enjoy at a coffee shop. Also the main entrance is not accessible. However, we did discover an accessible ramp on the side of the building (all under construction / roped off at the time of our visit but good to know for future visits). Lastly, it's a small and cozy place but there was a lot of merch scattered about where maybe an extra table could have been squeezed in. Just some thoughts!

I've increasingly become such a fan of this spot…read more The coffee menu is fun and varied and the drinks are delightful. The bites are lovely--if you know what to order. I think in my last review I had gotten the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel and mentioned it was pretty basic (your order was pretty basic, you may have shouted at the screen--you're not wrong, gentle reader). Since then I've grown, I've taken responsibility for my uninspired ordering and can now confidently say--they have some of the best coffee shop breakfast bites around. What should you order? Their strawberry avocado toast. Strawberries on avocado? I'm unsure, you may be muttering. Please do yourself a favor, stop muttering, and just order the dang toast. It's goat cheese sprinkled, balsamic reduction drizzled, and quite simply some of the best avocado toast I've had the pleasure of consuming. What else? The baked oatmeal with berries. Warm, comforting, and adorned with fresh berries--it's the stuff winter dreams are made of. I love during the holidays they have some fun holiday lattes (s/o to the jingle bells latte) and I've also recently ordered and enjoyed their tangerine mocha (citrus-y delight!). The service is always above-and-beyond lovely. And, dining/seating area is clean and comfortable. Get to it!

Inclusion, as the name implies, employs individuals who are neurodiverse. It's a terrific mission, and the people working there make it all happen in a very authentic way. Kudos! The café is on the end of a small strip mall. There's outdoor patio seating with tables for small groups. Inside, it's a spacious setting with plenty of seating at counters or small tables, and lots of light from the big front windows. The vibe is rustic chic. We got a cheerful greeting from the cashier. I ordered my very favorite drink, a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam) in a mug, along with a warmed-up Heath Scone. My friend ordered the coffee cake muffin and a Chai Latte. Everything was excellent. My London Fog even had lots of microbubbles -- perfect. One curious thing: they made my London Fog in a paper cup, then gave me a mug with it. It was easy enough to pour from the cup into the mug (and I was careful not to deflate the wonderful foam), but I wondered why they did it that way. I know, I should simply have asked :) A wonderful café with a great mission. I'll definitely be back.

From wine to tea to matcha and coffee, the selection is great. I have been loving their white mocha, but they recently had a vanilla rose latte for February that was delicious!!

My last couple of times have been disappointing. The place is still super cute, and the bakery is…read moredelish, but the latte drinks have really taken a turn for the worse. I normally get a London Fog Tea Latte, and they used to be very good. These last couple of times, it's as if they steep the tea and then add warmed milk to it. No foam, no creamy texture. Just a mug of tea with flat warm milk. So this time I took my drink back and talked to the barista. I showed her the drink, and she acknowledged that it definitely was not very creamy or foamy. But here is the part that really floored me. She said that they use an "auto steamer" (which is a steaming and frothing device used by larger coffee chains) and that there was nothing they could do about this situation. Seriously? They then just looked at me with blank stares. Totally bizarre for a small local shop that considers itself to be unique and focused on quality.

Creole Cafe has been on my radar for awhile and finally made it there for breakfast. When we first…read moreentered the cafe, we received a warm welcome! I've been hearing how good their biscuits and gravy (we added an egg to this) are as well as their French toast so of course we had to try those. We also ordered a vanilla latte and regular latte. Everything was delicious. The sausage gravy was seasoned well and the biscuits were crispy on the edges and fluffy in the center. The French toast had a nice caramelized exterior and was cooked perfectly. I couldn't pass up some bakery to take home and got a blueberry muffin and a peanut butter/chocolate chip scone. This scone was fantastic; not too sweet with a great balance of chocolate and peanut butter. What really makes this a five star place is their service. We have tried other places in the surrounding area and the owners will usually ignore us since we aren't regulars. While Creole Cafe definitely has their regular customers, but what sets them apart from some of the other spots is that we didn't feel out of place and the owners made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be frequenting Creole Cafe in the future!

It would be a difficult spot to access…read moreduring busy hours, I'd assume, as people getting off of roundabout wouldn't want to stop behind you as you're trying to get into their parking lot. Thankfully, the road wasn't busy when we came, and we didn't run into this trouble at all. I'm just assuming, since roundabouts are made on roads that are busy during traffic hours. The coffeeshop itself is quaint and cozy inside. Service was slow, as there was only one person working on making all the drinks, taking the orders, taking payments, and getting food out. There were only 2 people ahead of us, but it took a while for us to get an acknowledgment for being there, as she was working hard on making the drinks for them. Our group mostly stuck with regular coffee, and the cafe uses Stone Creek Coffee. The latte was good and creamy. Vibes inside were cozy and warm on a cold December day. And the neighborhood was nice! All the other visitors in the cafe were so nice!

Been here several times…read more It's a "nice" place on Pewaukee Lake. The signage is a little confusing, in that it's attached to another business (VeloCity Cycling), but just open the door and walk in. There are plenty of windows, so you know that you're in the right place. There are several different places to sit. Inside by the counter, a glass enclosed patio with a better view of the lake (the sunny can be overly bright and glaring), and outside seating during warmer weather. Got a friendly greeting by the staff, and help with the ordering. Got a couple hot drinks, including a London Fog Latte, and two scones (one blueberry, and another chocolate chip). The drinks were done nicely, with the London Fog including the necessary vanilla, lavender, and extra foam. The scones were good, but definitely not a traditional recipe. These were essentially muffins that were cooked on a cookie sheet and not a muffin tin. Had great muffing texture, not the tender/dry/crumble that you get with a real scone. I did ask, and apparently they make everything from scratch in house. When we arrived, there were just several tables of customers, but within the hour the entire place filled up. It's a popular place, and at times it could be hard to hold a conversation. It's a nice spot, with a great view, friendly staff and well made beverages. Would stop in again.

I would come back and try the coffee drinks sometime because they did look really cool. Lots of fun options on the menu. TBH not a fan of the decor - I know the theme is "blue collar" and they were going for a steel shop vibe but the cafe is pretty dark and feels smaller than it is because of the scrap metal on the walls. Wouldn't be somewhere I'd sit and study but fine for grab and go for me. Maybe I'm just a boomer but I liked the way it was decorated when it was Milwaukee Street Traders and miss how cozy and light it was then. I did LOVE the pay it forward wall. So sweet to encourage kindness in the community and to leave tickets for people to redeem a free drink when they're having a bad day/a nurse/a best friend/etc. Overall, I'd recommend this spot if you're coming to grab something quick but would not recommend the matcha. :)
