Then I just started waiting by the window and they ask if I put a crunch wrap in for Kai that's not my name I even spelled it out for the lady taking my order so the handed me Kai's food that was done 30 minutes ago and then wouldn't comeback out to window when I just wanted them to reheat it so I didn't have to eat a luke warm burrito crunch wrap. It was also the worst burrito crunch wrap I had in my life. Also the staff was not friendly

We were on our way back to Milwaukee from a visit to northern Wisconsin and were looking for a…read more"better for you" option for a place to eat on the way home. The cafe caught our attention. 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.

My kids and I decided to eat here because we were visiting the Food + Farm center. We had just…read moremissed breakfast and had to order off the lunch menu. For a place that caters to kids, they only had 3 things on the kids menu. A quesadilla, buttered noodles, and a ham/turkey sandwich. My picky kids were starving and one was basically crying there was nothing he liked. He ate chips. The other two had a sandwich. I'm not sure it was worth $7. I had the caprese sandwich with chips. For $14 I would have expected a bigger sandwich. It was fairly small. It tasted good though. If I was by myself I would try a few other things on the menu, because many of the wraps and sandwiches sounded good, but I won't bring my kids back.

I made a morning stop at Ruby Coffee Roasters while passing through town, and it instantly felt…read morelike a place locals genuinely appreciate. I went with a grilled chai tea latte and an order of French toast. The chai had a layered spice profile -- hints of cinnamon and cardamom came through clearly without turning sugary. It had a comforting warmth and a smooth finish that made it easy to savor slowly. The French toast was beautifully prepared. Lightly crisp on the outside with a soft, custardy center, it had a subtle sweetness that didn't rely on drowning it in syrup. You could tell care went into the preparation, from the golden color to the balanced texture. The café itself has a modern yet welcoming design, with a calm atmosphere that makes it a great place to sit and relax. The team behind the counter moved efficiently and were happy to answer questions about their roasts. Ruby Coffee Roasters left a strong impression -- thoughtful drinks, well-made food, and a space that invites you to linger a little longer.

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.
