What a hidden delight this cafe is! A friend & I went for lunch on a Monday, get there early, it filled up quickly. Our waitress was great with recommendations. We opted for the grilled burrito & the chicken & smoked gouda sandwich. The sandwich was delicious & i was a little jelly at her burrito....it looked so good. We visited their bakery across the way & the staff was equally as pleasant & helpful. The manager? came over & asked if this was our first time & how nice it was to see smiling faces. What a lovely person! We'll definitely be back. read more

Nice selection of healthier foods. Great variety. Nice place to go for lunch or breakfast.

Very nice place for breakfast and lunch. Good Bakery too. A bit different menu, very healthy with vegan options.

Have stopped here twice on trips through Wisconsin and have loved it both times!! Had the most amazing leek & cream cheese omelet the first time through that I still dream about. This trip enjoyed the bacon blue omelet that was also all fresh ingredients and tasty. Coffee extremely smooth. Glad to find a bag in their cafe to buy for home. Neat shops also if you have a few extra minutes to look around. read more

What a cute place! And I really cool idea to have a bar a café and a deli/coffee shop segregated but all together. They definitely get a star for ambience! And another for drinks :-) I had the Verde Mary and my husband had the basic Bloody Mary and they were both delicious. The third star is for value... Plates are reasonably priced. I appreciated that they extend brunch to 3 o'clock on Saturday and Sunday. The first time I went there with a friend hoping to get brunch on a weekday and unfortunately we had to choose from the lunch menu because it was 11 o'clock and breakfast had already stopped. Maybe it was just a coincidence that my choice the first time and then again the second time didn't satisfy my expectations. I ordered the salmon salad and was disappointed that it was shredded salmon on top of lettuce. I guess I expected a nice piece of salmon placed on the lettuce instead of bitter fish that Left me questioning if it was from I can. The second time I patronized this establishment I ordered the butternut squash lasagna. (See attached photo). A creamy sauce would've done this plate wonders! Instead it just seem like squash placed between tasteless lasagna noodles. Both of my companions on these two occasions were "OK" with their food so maybe it was just my bad luck in what I ordered :-(. That is what I thought the first time so gave it a second chance... I simply expected that no matter what I ordered it should be good. I always ask myself would I order this again. Now I aask would I come to this place again. I would have to say a resounding no. read more

First time at Cafe 1505. This cafe has a quant post-Sunday church brunch spot feel. We were greeted with smiling faces and great service. Started with a delicious complimentary carrot, raisin, walnut muffin that tasted fresh and homemade. The pumpkin spice latte was well made and not overpowering with the sugar. I had a house favorite, quinoa bowl, and my husband made his own omelette. Both dishes were hardy, perfect for a Sunday brunch. I wish the quinoa bowl had a touch more flavor/ spice and same with the omelette, hence the four stars. We will be going back! read more

Always can count on Cafe 1505 for a great brunch or lunch! Great food at a reasonable price!

took my mom here for lunch and it did not disappoint! was super delicious! my mom and i both had the lunch combos where you can pick two of the following: soup, salads (egg, chicken, etc), green salads, and sandwiches. they were super accommodating and allowed me to do the weekly special curry chicken salad with mine. i did that and the turkey cran sandwich. i ate everything!! so good! my mom got the turkey blt, which she really enjoyed, and the lentil carrot soup.. which she did not like at all. it was a texture thing. it almost had the texture of overcooked potatoes. it also lacked flavor.. we had a rhuby slipper and mimosa and both were very good! highly recommend checking this restaurant out! great service as well! will definitely be back. read more

As an Instagram follower, I've been hoping to try Cafe 1505 for a hot minute. I was meeting a vendor for lunch today in Mequon, so was excited at the opportunity to suggest the cafe. My first impression was that the restaurant is really cute! The crowd is a tad older, I'm not sure if this is how this place always is, but there is nothing more exciting than seeing a women 80+ years old wearing a wig and leopard print sipping a martini on a Monday at noon. Side note - this is when I learned that they, indeed, do serve alcohol. The set up is really unique - the cafe is set up in two sections - one section being more of a sit down, the other set up like a small grab and go coffee shop. We got there a bit early before the lunch rush, but it appeared as though there may have been a wait for a seat on my way out (12:45ish). I overheard another older lady, (this one in a studded Christmas sweater that would be the envy of all ugly sweater holiday partiers) say that she had a reservation. Booze and reservable tables - ACES! I had the veggie burger with the red cabbage slaw. Can I just point out that I love that they put all the ingredients in their food on the menu? I'm not health junky and have no allergies - but a 'veggie' burger can mean alot of things. I liked that it had a list of contents. Anyways, it was absolutely delicious! The menu appeared to have alot of options! Sandwiches, soups - very casual lunch menu with good portion sizes. The service was quick and attentive. Our waitress was also super friendly! I would definitely recommend trying Cafe 1505 - I will be definitely be coming back! read more

A great locally owned restaurant with consistently good food and service. Kind of like the "Cheers" of Mequon since you always see someone you know. A nice atmosphere perfect for celebrating birthdays or just lunching with the girls. read more

Nice place for breakfast, I order the big 1505, the farm eggs are tasted way better than regular, non-preservative bacon cooked just right, cafe was just right. The potato could be less salty or sub for more fruit. Overall it is a great place for breakfast and seems for lunch too. Especially you are care about eating healthy. Come back 2nd day, ordered power breakfast, it was GREAT! Update to 5 stars! 3rd edit: ordered lunch- three salads combo: balsamic chicken, quinoa, kale. Well made salad and service consistently being great! read more

This is my go-to for brunch. I've only had breakfast items, but I've heard the sandwiches are amazing. :). They have a full bar and their bourbon Bloody Mary is great! I also loved the bourbon maple latte! They make fantastic bacon and I love the different toasts and French toasts they have. Husband loved the different Benedicts. Just a heads up.... this place gets busy, so be prepared to wait! It's certainly worth it!!! read more

I was so pleased with my meal that I had to ask to speak with the manager. I live in San Francisco, so we are spoiled when it comes to food options and ingredients. So when I tried the quiche, lentil and carrot soup, and my friend's chicken salad on raisin bread, I was blown away! I loved every part of that meal. If I had room, I would have ordered more food. And their desserts looked heavenly. I can't wait to go back again next time I'm in the area. read more

Without a doubt, the BEST BREAKFAST I have ever had in my life!!!!! Great service, drinks and food. Do NOT miss this place if you are within 30 miles!! It's was FANTASTIC read more

Had the build your own breakfast sandwich. It was incredible and better than I expected!

This is my first time at Cafe 1505 but it's one of my boyfriends favorite places to eat in Mequon. We arrived around 11 am and requested a table for 4, there was a 15 minute wait, so we walked around the indoor mall area. They gave us a beeper to let us know when our table was ready. We didn't wait long, exactly like what they predicted--15 minutes. This places serves brunch and breakfast items. As soon as they seated us, our waitress came and asked for drink orders. I got the Bloody Mary and it was delicious! It has a hint of spicy-ness to it but not overly powerful, just enough of a kick. So, if you like bloodies, definitely order one. After our drinks they served us these complimentary free carrot cake bites that were delicious. One could probably get full off of eating these things because they're so good you wouldn't realize it till it's too late. As for my entree, I got the meat omelette with turkey sausage, ham, and andouille sausage. The omelette was a bit underwhelming for me. The eggs weren't fluffy at all or soft and it was overly cooked that the eggs were too dry and the fact that they didn't add cheese in the omelette, it felt more like I was eating a meat taco. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict and he says that it's usually really good but this time it wasn't as tasty and a bit disappointing. I give this place 3 stars because of the quality of our entrees and the service was kind of poor--it took us almost an hour to get our food. Other than those things I would probably try it again but I didn't feel like it was anything special. read more

I love this place. Food is good and they have lots of healthy options. Daily soups are great too.

Great place to stop by when I am driving up on I-43 and need a place to eat, close by the highway, healthy, and taste good. I got the parmesan-crust panini - it was deliciious! Coffee was great too. I also tried the sit-down cafe. That was also good - a bit slow in terms of service but overall also good. read more

Cafe 1505 - Parmesan-crusted veg panini with wild rice salad on the side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mequon, Wisconsin

the food is good - like the menu - BUT - its always freezing in there - staff says they can't adjust temp, its set by the overall mall. be sure to wear layers. AND - their chairs are all "shot" - that is, they are old, and the seats have lost their cushioning, so when seated you are rubbing against the framing. really uncomfortable. so, I don't go there any longer. no matter how good the food is, its too uncomfortable to eat there read more

Cafe 1505 was fantastic! The strawberry ricotta Challah french toast I ordered was unbelievably well done. The mimosas we ordered were served in adorable little glasses and our server was attentive, helpful AND funny! We asked for advice on what we should see while visiting and she had tons of ideas and even brought a manager over to chat with us. We will DEFINITELY be visiting again! read more

I was here for breakfast, and was not impressed. The food was mediocre and the service was about the same. I won't be going back.

Arrived at 9:30 am Friday and sat at the bar (busy but not to the point of standing in line). Relocated over a few seats due to the overhead light shining in my face. The acoustics are not the greatest and the music playing was in my opinion not the best for breakfast. Maybe if I was 20 years younger it would have been perfect. I did like the look inside and out and I'm sure the food would have been great. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow at the bar and I had finished a cup of coffee and still the server had come to take my order. I also thought the prices were a bit high (~$8.00 for a blueberry granola pancake and $3.50 for a turkey sausage link). I ended up leaving because of my travel schedule and I was not relaxed while waiting for service. I had to walk around to find someone to pay for my coffee (good coffee at $2.65 in case anyone is wondering). Based on the Yelp reviews/photos, I was very much looking to have breakfast here. It may have just been and off day for the restaurant and/or me. read more

Cafe 1505 has been in this spot for as long as I can remember. This is an excellent spot for a really good brunch, but be warned if you come during peak hours, you might have to to wait. They do have outdoor seating if wanted, and if your in a hurry, you could probably be sat, eat, and pay your bill in around 30-40 minutes thanks to they prompt service and fast turnaround times on ordering. There's also a small deli with to-go items across the hall from the main restaurant itself. The menu offers a large variety of normal brunch and breakfast items, and they serve carrot-muffins on the side to start every meal. read more

Recently moved to the area. Found this place "accidentally". Excellent fresh breakfasts with amazing breads to go along with anything you choose. Upscale food without the upscale prices. An absolute gem! Definitely my go-to place for breakfast and lunch! read more

Loved my experience at cafe 1505 this morning so much that I had to review. The cafe is fresh and open. They also have a grab n go deli which is super convenient and a nice bar area. My mom had the pumpkin bread French toast and I had the banana bread French toast, both were delicious!! The best part of the experience though, was her server! Our server was super kind. When we mentioned we had a long drive home, we got free bakery for the ride! I wish I knew the name of our server to give credit but unfortunately didn't get it... read more

I have only been here one time and loved it. It's hard to find restaurants hat offer whole real foods without frying everything and still maintaining flavor. Their salad was awesome. I need to go back again because I loved that hey had so many healthy options. read more

Great food & service, both in the main dining room and the deli area. A favorite in our household!

Great quick breakfast! We stopped in on our way to a movie and had a 30 minute wait before getting a spot at the bar. The hostess was very friendly and apologized for the delay, even giving us a little carrot cake treat to make up for the wait! I ordered a brie, asparagus, and avocado egg white omelet, which was extra cheesey! My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles, which was a special. The food was all delicious and he said the special was defiantly worth the try. While we were not drinking, everyone around us was ordering bloody mary's, which looked fantastic. The atmosphere is cozy and you can never go wrong with the food. I could not recommend more if you are in Mequon! read more

food is okay, service isn't noticeably good, cool setting and ambiance i guess but nothing special.

Classic breakfast/brunch location. Lots of local produce. Seems to know what it wants to be and does it well. Happy to recommend.

I enjoyed having brunch here. I must say I really liked their hot chocolate, and also a whisky latte that was superb! My husband and I had brunch. We shared a stack of pancakes which were very large by the way! Three pancakes could definitely be shared by three people lol. I had bacon, eggs and toast. My husband had something similar but with potatoes. In all I think the brunch was well worth it. We got there Aron d 11 and it was about a 20 minute wait. It is definitely Italy a cozy spot and in a cute plaza. I did enjoy the fact that they use local farmers, fresh food and attentive service. In all for our food and drinks is we spent roughly 32.00 read more

We enjoyed the Good food. We loved the outdoor sitting area. Our first waiter didn't know what she was doing, but someone else took over and did a wonderful job. read more

Their sweet potato quesadilla is to die for. Great salads and quiches. The Deli is perfect for those on the go but don't want fast food. Dining room is always busy. Sign of a great place. Not cheap though but not your average place Looking forward to dining in once Covid is over. read more

What a wonderfully fresh menu with lots of healthy choices... but of course, being Wisconsin lots of cheese makes the food rich. Our waitress suggested we ask for easy cheese...how right on. I had the green eggs & ham with a side of cranberry walnut bread... a large pot of Earl Grey tea, which they cheerfully refilled. Do try this lovely cafe. read more

Haven't been here in a long time, probably over 7 years ago. It was late Sunday morning and the crowd was heavy. Rather than put our name on the waiting list with a 25 minute quote, we asked to sit at the bar. Waited a bit and I left to use the restroom. When I returned, my wife ordered herself tea and coffee for myself. My son had a coke. Waited just a bit and the server returned to take our order. I had just came back from the bathroom and told her I wasn't ready yet having not looked at the menu. It was another 4-5 minutes before she returned, which I felt was too long. We gave her our order and I glanced at the clock nearby indicating 10:51am. Time passed and it was 11:01, which I consider the latest time in which to receive our order or to be advise us of the status. Well another 5-7 minutes passed and still nothing. Not even a refill on my coffee which was gone way before that. Finally at 11:12 our breakfast arrived. I ordered Blueberry cakes (short stack), my wife a Broccoli and cheese omelet and my son a cheese omelet. My wife and I asked for a side of bacon and my son American fries. I got my bacon but my wife didn't. I wanted to ask for more syrup as the amount I received was in a small creamer which was not enough and to mention about my wife's bacon. We never saw the server again until we finish or meal. So I didn't finish my pancakes because not enough syrup, my wife said the broccoli was under cooked and there was water on the plate which the walnut raisin bread she ordered had absorbed! Yuck. My wife and I both felt the server had an attitude problem after telling her we weren't ready to order. I can only comment how we were treated and the problem with the food. I did tell the server I wasn't gonna pay for the Bacon we didn't receive. The bill came and we were not charged any bacon. I can only assumed the server didn't get my wife's bacon order. She did asked for it to be very crisp, which mine was not. So she thought I meant we didn't receive any bacon, which wasn't the case. Needless to say it was a very poor experience. It maybe another seven years before I return. read more
