I had a latte, and it had this mouth feel like it was coating my tongue and just tasted of bitterness. I looked on my visor mirror and sure enough, it left a brown coating on my tongue. Very unpleasant. That and the soggy paper straw. The paninis are good. Salads fresh and that maple vinaigrette perfectly balanced. The pizza however. F for effort there. The sauce is too sweet and right out of the can. You can taste the can on it. I really wanted to love this place, but for a panini and a side salad, I just can't, when all I wanna do is go home and scrub my tongue

Iola, WI. Perhaps an OK place for lunch, but apparently the…read morefocus is on gelato for children. The flavors are bright and shiny and have names like "Cookie Dough". I have had a few flavors in the past that had names like "Coffee". The more grown up flavors were quite tasty but not to be had on this trip. The real reason for our return here was for lunch. We ordered a Hawaiian (Pineapple and Ham) sandwich, a Reuben, and a turkey pesto sandwich. Our waitress was timid and not forthcoming with information. She took our order and our food was ready 30 minutes later. Our small group was the only table being served, another table had already been served. I was getting hungry during that wait and was surprised at the miniature sandwiches that arrived. My Reuben was supposed to be on rye but was served with one of those fluffy two toned breads that have no taste. The sandwich tasted very good, just not enough of it. The sauerkraut was in there but had no distinctive taste at all.My mother liked her Hawaiian sandwich, the size was good for her. My sisters turkey pesto was good but "That's About All". "Too Small" she added. So our waitress completely disappeared after dropping off our dishes. Apparently she doesn't bring the check to the table here, you go to the register. My mother wanted a refill on her coffee so we had to track her down. It took her 15 minutes to refill the coffee. But it wasn't a refill per se. She brought out a new cup! When I paid the bill I was astounded that she charged me for two cups at three dollars each. So here is my brief summation of this place: Food tastes OK. No refills on coffee. Pay at the register, not at the table. Kids meal sized portions. Candy flavored gelato. The vacuous atmosphere of a failing business (OK Maybe That's Too Harsh? Just Seemed Like It).

Whew...we were camping nearby, it was the day we were set to pack up, and it was pouring rain…read more Packing up a pop-up camper in the pouring rain? Not super fun. We were drenched and decided that some hot coffee on the way out of town would be just the thing. Aquamos Coffee Collaborative to the rescue! It's in downtown Waupaca, so the parking is basically street or street angled parking. My husband was able to find a spot to sit with the car and camper while I ran in and got our coffee. Since it was lunch time and I noticed what sounded like a pretty stellar breakfast sandwich on their menu, I ordered us a couple of those as well. For our coffee we got the caramel roll latte (caramel-y, ever so slightly cinnamon-y deliciousness). They also have alternative milks, if you so desire. The breakfast sandwich was a sesame bagel with chipotle mayo, egg, bacon, and sharp cheddar--it was super flavorful and absolutely delicious. Oh...and I believe they're dog friendly. We were warmed up by the hot coffee and kickin' eats in no time. Thanks Aquamos! Get to it!

There's even a Weds pizza night, featuring their own signature homemade sourdough crust and a rotating menu of featured pizza combos! I've tried a few and they've all been amazing. The mushroom pizza was my favorite. In addition to the baked goods, the kitchen makes salads and wraps and has a fridge with a bunch of tasty grab and go items, savory and sweet. They sell canned teas and drinks, make espresso drinks and there's a freezer too where they sell the day old items, frozen, at a discount, which is really nice on a hot day lol. There's Iola Mills homemade gelato too, which is extra nice, since the ice cream place in the village isn't open anymore. Oh yeah and there are gifts and other non-edible treats available too. They even have an Airbnb upstairs now. I love that the place has a commercial kitchen that multiple businesses use to craft their products in and I saw on the website they have baking classes for kids too. Very cool spot, a total asset to the area.
