Cinnamon Roll

We love this cafe. Amazing food and service. From scratch bakery/desserts, soups, and specials you don't see everywhere along with the classics. They've become our go-to breakfast stop anytime we're in the area. You simply can't go wrong here.

We found this adorable little place on our way to play Whistling Straights golf course in WI. This is located in a small little town in Portage WI. Excellent food, impeccable service, really clean , amazing coffee menu for such a small town. Highly recommend if you're passing through.

Finished biscuits and gravy

I must admit there's nothing better than a great breakfast place. The place is pretty small but greatly decorated. The staff was super friendly and handled annoying customers very well. But the food was the real kicker everything I had was flavorful and warm and fresh and they do have a smaller menu but that's most great restaurant. Five stars would recommend

Inside

The outside is pretty unassuming but inside is nicely decorated and super clean. Came in for breakfast with our two little boys. Our food was delicious and everyone working was super friendly. Will definitely come back for the Brekky croissant with ham. Our youngest had on red shorts so is now on the wall of fame!

Veggie omelet!  Delish!!
Kate G.

This was our 1st visit to the Red Shorts Cafe! We both decided to try some breakfast offerings on the menu! So we both enjoyed the delicious Veggie Omelet! It was filled with wonderful veggies (tomato, spinach, mushrooms and onions) as well as fontina cheese. I ordered the rye bread and my hubby the wheat toast. Both were homemade and served with homemade raspberry jams and honey butter. We definitely will be back and next time perhaps order some lunch items from their menu! Great place!

Overcooked eggs and bacon and toast.
Bart C.

I would give this 3.5 stars. I ordered fried eggs over medium with bacon and hash browns. I ordered an extra egg, for 3 total. The eggs were over cooked so there was very little yolk. You also only get 1slice of toast and 2 pieces of bacon. Except for the over cooked eggs, the bacon toast and hash browns were good. Most breakfast places give you 3 pieces of bacon and 2 slices of toast.

Mr Muenster. Ham, blackberry jam, fried onions and muenster on sourdough. Delicious!

Was driving through the area and stopped in for lunch. Cute place, very friendly staff, small town charm. My Mr. Muenster sandwich was excellent. I got carded for my mimosa so extra point for the wait staff (I'm almost 40). Would come back if I'm ever in the area again.

We had a very good lunch. The waitress was nice and we chatted a little. The atmosphere is very nice and it works really well for a breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant. We'll definitely go there again in the future.

Great food. Great ambience. Just not the best place to bring little little kids. It's kind of tight spacing

A sad experience. We came in to fresh popcorn being made…read more The caramel corn, yummy! The employee said isn't that a good advertisement? Yea! I'm buying! Or not ... I went up to counter to get some. Nope. They do not sell the fresh. You have to buy what is bagged already. They said it is made within 24 H. True? Who knows. I didn't buy anything. Not stopping again.

After seeing billboards all over town featuring big ass cookies that looked delicious, we stopped…read moreinto Caramel Crisp while bumming around town. A good decision that was!! This shop is half store, half bakery/cafe/delicious eats! I browsed around the store - which was full of local trinkets, clothing, magnets, and other that was just fun to look around. The bakery/shop was filled with trinkets, souvenirs, clothing, wine, snacks, popcorn and cookies! When I say this is popcorn heaven, I mean any and every flavor you could think of, is here. White Chocolate, Loaded backed Potato, cheese curd, everything! While the popcorn is impressive, it's the cookie bar that's insane....and what we came for! All cookies are made and decorated in house - with the coolest flavors and pairings around. For $15, we could pick 6 cookies of our choosing - all of which were fancier than a simple chocolate chip. I can't remember our flavors, but all were moist, delicious, and reminiscent of a Crumbl cookie - only better! We left with a few Wisconsin items and noshed on the cookies all weekend. If in Oshkosh again, we'd happily return here!
