It was a cute cafe and loved that the ingredients are locally sourced. The cafe is accessible even if you aren't going into the Farm Exploration center, and it provides a good amount of options including sandwiches, bakery, and variety of drinks and other snacks. We both go the Turkey panini and a beverage and it was delicious. Came with a side of potatoes and small salad, perfect for what we were looking for. We popped in the gift shop and checked out the World's Largest Potato Masher while we visited and it was great to learn a little bit about the grounds and facilities, we will definitely come back to check out the rest of the building.

(although, I have heard from others that their specialty drinks are also great, which I don't doubt.) And I always get at least one bag of beans to go because with Ruby's to start my morning, i know i'll be happy. staff is always kind and willing to help if you face menu fatigue. it can get busy, but even at its peak rush hours, the vibes are good. my one disappointment from the most recent visit was that they used to have this espresso chocolate chip scone, that i will never forget... for your sake, dear reader, I hope they bring it back.

Coffee - 2 stars Breakfast- 8 stars!!!!…read more This bird's nest breakfast was the best thing I ate all week! The meal was huge, kept me full well past lunch time. The homemade bread with a light toasting and the egg in the middle, avocado in the side and the greens. Such a lovely surprise! The latte was honestly disappointing. Very weak. Flavor was ok. The inside is cute, good amount of tables to sit and eat, or work. Service was pleasant and fast.

Whether you're taking coffee to go or staying for a while, it's a great experience. The baristas are friendly and helpful and the coffee is hot, fresh, and flavorful. I really enjoyed a recent visit when I was able to sit and have coffee and a muffin (blueberry, cranberry - yum!) in a mug. There's nothing like coffee in a 'real' cup! It was a quiet morning and I just did some people watching. Ask the barista for a password for free wifi. You'll enjoy your visit to this sweet place right in downtown Stevens Point.

Which is the one criteria that makes restaurants worthwhile for me. I had a chicken salad croissant, which turned out to be chicken curry. It would have been nice to know before I ordered that it was chicken curry, because I would have ordered something different. Nine dollars for a sandwich I wasn't thrilled about, a teeny bag of chips and a funky-tasting iced tea was my experience. I may come back and try something different, but this place doesn't get my overwhelming vote of confidence.

STEEL WOOL IN SOUP We brought friends here from out of town…read morefor lunch. We ordered soup, and found steel wool in it. The incompetent waitress, did not tell anyone about this mishap as she said she would, example owners, Lisa and Chris, but when we left we brought it up. They only offered excuses. The poorest of customer service. I used to run a restaurant out of state, and you do what you can to remedy the situation. This was not done. Food is just ok. Service was inadequate on this day. When we go to eat there, they push their Paranormal details when we are eating. Coming to our table, not invited. BIG NOTE: Do not go to their Paranormal Investigations for $40.00. We also brought our friends there the same weekend. Huge letdown. Their was no investigation. The ladies did nothing for 3.5 hours and wasted our time. They had some broken toys they called their equipment. People have to know that this is a misrepresentation of Paranormal. This was the worst of my lowest expectations . We went back 3 weeks later to discuss our disappointment with the ladies, and yet again only excuses. They really must think they are something. They could not answer questions completely, and rambled on about nothing basically for the entire time we were there. I would not have expected this from these "seemingly" nice ladies. What a joke. We gave them some time, to maybe write a letter or something, and there was nothing. I have never been so let down and "fooled" by people. Our 4 other friends felt the same. This was our last visit to the Cottage. We have them a chance, for 3 weeks. Surprised and Disappointed. (Just to let you know all other restaurants in the area are fantastic, example, Paradise, Mikey's, Asochel, SkyClub, Christians, Samoeuns, Club Forest and so many others. Nice selection of Plover restaurants, but NOT the Cottage Café.

And then when our orders were up they wouldn't say anything they'd just put it on the table and assume you'd notice and make sure it's yours and when I asked if it was mine she just told me well if you look at the numbers on your drink and the bag if they match it is yours. Like why couldn't you just tell me it's mine? They just seemed super inconvenienced and annoyed with us. If you don't like people, probably don't work in food service. But they did anyways don't go here if you're sensitive.

I got the mother earth smoothie which had mango, banana, blueberry, ginger, spinach, yogurt, and honey. This was super tasty and refreshing, with a little earthiness from the spinach.

This smoothie was a lot more tart and tangy than mother earth, but tastes very fresh. Definitely want to come back for some more smoothies!
