My recent trip to Rupena's was a bit of a mixed bag…read more We stopped by in search of their chicken salad, some potato salad for a picnic on our boat with friends, and then we were hoping to shop around to pick up a few things for the week. I was surprised to enter and find their shelves all nearly empty. They had signs and it seems as though their business is struggling and they're currently prioritizing the meat counter and deli. Fortunately, we were primarily there for their deli. That said, something to note, this isn't a store I'd stop in thinking I might be able to get a few shelf staples. Their shelves were bare. I went to the deli and clearly the word is out on their chicken salad. They have a sign that explains they are limiting customers to two pounds of chicken salad due to high demand. We got a pound of that, a pound of their mustard potato salad, and a pound of their deilved egg potato salad. The chicken salad was really good. One thing I loved about it was the texture. It was finely shredded which I prefer. It was well seasoned and wasn't overly mayo-y. Of the two potato salads, I thought prefer the deviled egg potato salad. It was good but a bit plain for me. The mustard potato salad, on the other hand, was great with just the right amount of mustard and seasoning. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it.

They now have a great little cafe in honor of the owner's son. They make great sandwiches. Service can be a bit slow and they are sometimes understaffed, but they are doing their best to rebuild the store after some hard times. Please support this wonderful local gem, so we can enjoy it for another 100 years.

I haven't had a breakfast option I haven't completely enjoyed yet - some favs are the breakfast sandwich and the skillet! There is also a small store attached with lots of yummy items for purchase - can make a great gift basket! It gets busy and crowded especially on weekend mornings, so plan accordingly! Not a ton of indoor or outdoor seating, but we've never had to wait too long! You can also take food to go!

Regarding the restaurant side Personally the meatloaf…read moresandwich was okay. Maybe because I didn't care for the cheese and red sauce (ketchup sauce) on my sandwich Partly my fault for not reading the menu closely But they do have a good menu to pick from.

I practically live here. It's such a good market and we stop in to stock up at least once a month…read more Usually more. I can almost always find what I need here. Some Korean ingredients, some Japanese, Chinese. It's all in one convenient spot. They're well stocked on any buns and dumplings you'd need, veggies not carried in chain grocers, fresh meat and seafood, condiments for days. Teas, dried herbs, noodles, fresh baked goods, snacks, utensils and cookware. There's a lot packed into this little shop. The aisles can feel cramped at times, so patience is key. Take your time, maybe you'll discover some new! I really love the convenience of pre-sliced meats for cooking hotpot. Pre-packaged soup bases are also amazing. I'm a fan of little sheep brand. They also carry my favorite brand of milk tea from Japan. The wall of ramen is also impressive, as there are many varieties to choose from.

Since my last time here, seems like upkeep has been a problem. Produce was wilty, fish tanks were…read morefishy and smelly (and no, not all fish tanks reek. I can tell the difference between a clean fish tank and an unkept one), and price labels were missing. It felt cramped. On the plus side, everything was well stocked, I didn't see any expired shelf items, freezer section was clean and price was ok. Wish the upkeep is better so I don't feel as cringy when shopping here, since selection is good (minus produce and fish).

First off I absolutely hate and despise rice crispy treats and I never touch them when they come…read morearound on special occasions but today would change that. When I saw that this place was upping the rice crispy game with like 50 different flavors I had to reevaluate my distain for the treat. The place is small and very busy on my visit and hard to move around to look at all of the different flavors. Buy four and save a $1 I heard but I was going to baby step it with 3, 2 for me and 1 for my neighborhood bar tender which he was surprised and looked like he really appreciated my little gift. I got the peanut butter cup and and a maple pecan for me. OMG the peanut butter cup was f#cking delicious with a peanut butter center. Had my whole life the rice crispy treats been this creative I would have never had a deep dislike for them. With my new found fondness for the rice crispy treat I would definitely be back in the future. For the people who came up with this fantastic idea of elevating the rice crispy treats to a gourmet premium treat, hats off to you. They definitely hit this one out of the park.

What a great idea! I've been hearing more about this business from my family and friends who either…read morelive here or travel past this business. I've seen their product on vacations, but recently stopped in with my bestie on a roadtrip. She wanted to stock up on her puppy chow and I purchased 8 of random flavors. Preference really is subjective, but the one that stood out to me the most was coffee toffee. I want more! Cannot wait to go back to grab 8 of those specifically! They also had some small slices for $1 at the checkout area which I would recommend if you're on the fence of some flavors.

It's smaller sized but packs a punch with the wide variety of things that they have from candies, nuts, jelly beans, and more! They also have various limited edition candies for the holidays. I find their prices very fair and great values compared to regular stores. They often have candies that you can't find in store either. Not pictured but they had cute tins you can buy and put candies or chocolates in for an additional price. The staff are always very friendly too! I hear the owners/family has very deep history in Milwaukee as well!

Recently we held a brat forward event and tried the traditional, honey mustard, jalapeño cheddar, Reuben and chicken feta. Each type was amazing. The honey mustard was a favorite for anyone who chose it. I tried both the jalapeño cheddar and the Reuben. I love a jalapeño cheddar brat and this is the best! Warm heat and perfect proportion of cheddar and sausage. Delicious right off the grill and amazing reheated later. Enjoyed with pasta for a lunch and with potatoes for a breakfast. I tried the Reuben brat out of curiosity. I am a fan of a Rachel and not a Reuben but gave this a go. It was wonderful. The perfection of flavors and the best cheese bite every bite of the sausage. Also reheated and was delicious as leftover. Could not recommend this place higher.

Bunzels is one of my favorite lunch spots on Fridays. I almost always get the fried cod sandwich…read more It's a great deal, two meaty pieces of cod and all the toppings you'd like for just over $5 on a fresh hoagie... I usually get cheddar, lettuce tomato, tartar, and creamy coleslaw on mine. As you can see from the picture it's usually enough for two meals. Yes, when you walk in around lunch time that deli counter will be swamped, but I encourage you to grab a number and know that these employees are efficient so you won't be waiting that long. Aside from the great lunch specials, they also have great customer service, everyone that works there is really friendly. I love bunzel's!
