At first glance, the place presents itself as a neighborhood dive--a worn-in local haunt where the…read moredécor is secondary to the conversation. But the illusion fades the moment a Bloody Mary arrives at the table. This is a bar that takes its craft seriously. The cocktail was thoughtfully prepared and balanced, revealing an attention to detail rarely found in establishments trading on casual charm alone. The atmosphere is equally compelling: lively without being chaotic, welcoming without feeling manufactured. It possesses the kind of authenticity that cannot be designed or replicated. In an era of increasingly curated hospitality, this remains a genuinely local gathering place--unpretentious, distinctive, and unmistakably its own.

We like our walleye and eggs for breakfast, and decided to try out the Squirrel's Nest. It is a…read moresmall establishment with a bar to the left and seating area, to the right, with two smaller tables on the side of the bar. We arrived about 10:00 am, and it was packed. It was very loud with people talking, due to the small space. We sat at our table and waited awhile for a server, but didn't know if we needed to order at the bar. After a while, a waitress arrived to take our order. She was very joyful and friendly. We both ordered the walleye and eggs, which included hashbrowns and toast. My husband added cheese and onions on the hashbrowns at no extra cost. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, which came with a chaser. They arrived with a spear of mozzarella cheese, pimento olive, smoked sausage, and a dill pickle. The walleye had a nice thin crust and the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. My better half said that he didn't taste any onions in the hashbrowns and they used American cheese, which made them runny. It was a good breakfast, and we enjoyed our time there. However, due to the loudness, we probably won't go back, as it was hard to have a conversation. Be aware that they only take cash, but they do have an ATM in the building. This establishment definitely had a great atmosphere and service, with friendly staff.

I asked about cold foam and the person who I was speaking with only gave me an option of mango lemon cold foam? I asked again, as I know cold foam can be vanilla or salted caramel and maybe I miss understood. She again said mango lemon? I then said to just give me a splash of half and half. As I went to the drive thru window the girl asked what cold foam I wanted? I told her I didn't order the cold foam because the flavor was odd to me and didn't sound good in cold brew. She told me that they do have vanilla and salted caramel and asked me if I wanted her to add that and the charge to my order? I told her no thank you and paid for my iced cold brew ( honestly the cold foam at that point should have been no charge with all the confusion ). She handed me my drink and then I asked if they have a loyalty program and then the girl ( named Shirley) said that they do and I asked if she could add me. She took my phone number and then I asked if the drink I just purchased would be included in my reward loyalty program. She said that it wouldn't be because she had already rang me up and I paid. This was not a good experience in my opinion. Lots of misses How does the cold brew taste you ask? Meh, It is bitter and I am sad to say that

The owner is so wicked-smart with worldliness featured with maps on all walls. Just yesterday workers there somehow surmised I'd want bread with my soup and given it was late in the day they'd run out. They actually counseled me on my purchase. That kind of support you just don't find everywhere. And that kind of supportive, joint-decision making on even a small purchase makes us come back. Now I did accidentally have a blind date show up at the EAST WASH location, so it's best to be real clear which one you mean. He did have a coffee waiting for me when I hightailed it over to see him.

As far as coffee goes, I opted for the pour-over. I expected a lot more brighter notes than what I got. If I didn't know, I would've thought it was drip. My papusa was also not as good as I remember from my last visit. Still tasty but not a must get. It was a little too soft for my liking and the pork lacked flavor. Finca's use of plastic forks and knives (along with paper plates) makes it difficult as well to cut the papusa into bite size pieces. I understand their kitchen space is small but real eating utensils and plates would go a long way (and more eco friendly).
