    We used to love this restaurant for breakfast. Unfortunately on our most recent visit, the prices had been raised at least 30%. Even having lived in New York and Chicago, I have never seen a piece of French toast for $20. We found an old receipt from 2016 showing the salmon mousse for $16 -- in August 2018, the price was $22. You can now also have the pleasure of paying more than $7 for a cappuccino. The food here is good, but not that good. Although this used to be a staple of our Door County visit, since the restaurant itself is very charming, I think sadly we will not be back. (That said, the Corsica bread at the bakery is amazing so we will continue to come for that.)

    Worth the drive! We went for breakfast and tasted lots of the bakery treats: cherry cheese danish, cinnamon roll, cherry turnover, cake doughnut, oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate glazed doughnut. The doughnuts weren't anything special, but the danish and turnover were excellent! Go with the cherries when it Door County!!! And they use a real espresso machine for mochas, cappuccino, and Americana coffee drinks which tasted really well. There's a larger breakfast menu, but since it's a bakery we just wanted to try their expertise. Also it's owned by genuinely nice people that work really hard to deliver exceptional quality. We talked to them for awhile to find out more about their story, and they do everything natural from scratch with real butter!!! You can taste the quality. Take the drive and taste the quality, even if it's just for carry out - is a really great bakery experience.

    The food is delicious, the sweets are quite tasty. They have a beautiful outside patio with a sweet family owners. The food is great, but theres a few things with it that could be troublesome. The food takes a little to get to you, and my meal came to me at room temperature. They have one waiter. The food is amazing! But the kids menu is very small also- you get a choice of pb&jam or grilled cheese. The bakery is amazing though!

    We drove out on Monday; found out they're closed on Mondays. Then we tried again, and drove out on Tuesday. Sign said they had to close due to an "emergency". So then today, Wednesday, we drove out once more. It's a good half hour drive from where we stay in Egg Harbor, but my dad was dying to get some of their amazing bakery... Unfortunately, we left disappointed, and as much as my dad loves their bakery, he vowed never to return. The main issue is the service. The woman serving us (older, gray hair, round black glasses) was very impolite, and inattentive. She couldn't care less about getting us what we asked for, and she acted very inconvenienced by us. The other issue is the prices. As others have mentioned, the prices are outrageous, to the point of actually being insulting. I noticed that there is no menu available to view online, so I snapped pictures. The bakery is delicious, but not worth the insult of the poor service and the ridiculous prices. Buyer beware.

    Was closed during our visit two different days during the week, so we had no opportunity to taste the various bakery or food

    If you're visiting Door County, you simply HAVE to experience Al Johnson's! This Sister Bay icon…read morehas been part of my Door County trips since I was in high school, and all these years later, I still love coming back. Yes, you're probably going to wait for a table -- just expect it and enjoy the experience! Once you're seated and place your order, though, the food comes out amazingly fast. You can't go wrong with the authentic Swedish pancakes and lingonberries, and I think you get a great meal for the price. I also tried the Swedish Sangria made with Brut, Swedish Glogg & Fruit this time, and it was tasty! And then there are the famous goats on the grass-covered roof! Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late in the day and apparently the goats had already called it quits. We even walked around back looking for them! No goats, but we did get to see their little staircase leading up to the roof. Next time, we'll have to get there earlier! Whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the gift shop aka Butik! Give yourself some time because there is SO much to look at -- Door County souvenirs, clothing, ornaments, home decor, gifts and plenty of Al Johnson's goodies to take home. We loaded up on Swedish pancake mix, cinnamon sugar, Door County cherry jam and gifts for family and friends. I think I spent almost 45 minutes in there! After coming here for more years than I'm going to admit, Al Johnson's is still one of those quintessential Door County experiences. Come for the Swedish pancakes, look for the goats, browse the gift shop and enjoy a little piece of Door County tradition.

    The food is good to average. The atmosphere is mixed: fun Swedish decor, but a very rushed,…read morefast-paced environment. This will not be a sit down and enjoy your meal experience. This is a We're-the-big-shots-in-town--aren't-you-so-lucky-you-get-to-dine-here?-Now-hurry-up experience. The service was rushed and the manner of the hostesses where you come in and where you pay is abysmal. No, really. I've never felt more like cattle in my life. The sour, amazingly unfriendly hostesses act annoyed you're even there the moment you walk in. No smile. No greeting. Only "What do you want? Stand there. Come this way." My wife apparently stepped too far past the host station and instead of, "I can take care of you there," the woman--without speaking a word and with a very annoyed expression on her face--walked in my wife's path and virtually pushed her in the direction she needed to be. After being rushed through our average meal, the person taking our money (all Al Johnson's wants) asked nothing about our meal, said no friendly word, made no eye contact, said no "enjoy your day" or "thanks for stopping in," only silently took the receipt and acted like it was an unwelcome interruption that I dared to even be standing there. I've been coming here since the mid-90s and wow has it changed. This place made their name with the Swedish pancakes and goats on the roof. They don't care anymore and they don't need to. You are a dollar sign and they will continue to be packed regardless. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. If you want a Door County classic, go to Julie's Cafe in Fish Creek. They're super friendly there and they aren't too big for their britches. Al Johnson's is a washed up, sub-par tourist attraction, one we will never be going back to nor recommending to anyone.
