We are not locals but there were a few in here with their laptops. My husband and I both had the special oatmeal this time. It comes with Carmel, butter, walnuts and pecans and cut up apple. A little pitcher of milk to pour over the top finished it off. My husband had an Apple fritter calling his name and I had a bite. It arrived warm and soft and was delicious. My husband got a dark roast which is his to go to and a large dark roast with a shop of expresso for the road. He say great coffee. If it wasn't we wouldn't be coming back even if the food is awesome. I don't drink coffee (still thinking about a way to learn to like it because I feel like I'm missing out). I use to drink cold chai tea but recently have a sensitivity to black tea and most of the spices in chai so I am having an awesome hot chocolate with hazelnut/vanilla and whipped cream.. Yum.

I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast sandwich was homemade and not a frozen sandwich warmed up in microwave (such a better option than a fast food restaurant!). The garlic aioli on the sandwich really made it stand out. Based in their Facebook page, it also looks like the bakery is made in house. I also really enjoyed my latte, with three different syrups in the drink, I was concerned it would be too sweet but it was perfect (I did add an extra shot of espresso to it). The service was nice and quick, similar to a Starbucks wait time. It's in an old bank drive thru so the space is kind of quirky and different. Definitely worth a try!

Today the service was downright hostile. We ordered our four coffees at half-sweetness to account for our taste and they were still very sweet. When my daughter went to ask, the barista was very rude to her about it. Additionally, when I went to collect our drinks, I asked which was which, the same barista was rude to me. We are polite patrons and the store was not overly busy. The only reason I can think for the way we were treated was because we did not put a tip on the charge when we paid. Our total for four coffees was $29 and change. That's quite a tab and I am happy to pay it as the coffees were a treat, but I wait to pay a tip to see how the service is. Given what we received, no thanks. I do not recommend this establishment. There are much friendlier coffee shops in the Minocqua area.
