First, their two new menu items include 1) the Sunrise sandwich with eggs, bacon, chihuahua cheese, arugula, and homemade tomato jam and 2) the Baja Burrito packed with eggs, bacon, crispy potatoes, avocado, beans, caramelized onion, and peppers. Both absolutely delicious and well worth it! I've also had their "new for the summer" smoked salmon bagel with cucumber, pickled shallots, arugula, caper cream cheese, and lox on an everything bagel that was so refreshing and perfect for a nice day. Such great additions to the menu! Other honorable mentions that aren't a new are the breakfast bowl and the açaí bowl for a lighter breakfast! My go to coffee order is either a vanilla latte or the Vietnamese cold brew, both delicious and get the job done. I just love the vibes of this coffee shop both on the inside and the quaint outside neighborhood seating. I definitely recommend!

It was my second visit here. I met a friend in the morning for a beverage and a pastry…read more Food: This time I noticed they had a nice selection of signature drinks. The one that caught my eye was the Tahini Caramel Latte. It was rich and flavorful. The only thing I would have changed was the temperature. It was just under 120°F, and I personally prefer my lattes to be at least 130°F. Next time, I'll simply ask for it extra hot. I also ordered the Almond Croissant, and it was truly delicious. It had a great texture and was topped with sliced almonds and a drizzle of chocolate. They warmed it up, so the filling was perfectly soft and gooey. Service: The service was super friendly. It didn't take long for our drinks and pastry to be prepared, and everyone was welcoming and pleasant. Atmosphere: The interior is spacious, bright, and clean. The noise level makes it easy to have a conversation, and there are a variety of seating options with plenty of room between the tables. Definitely a place I'd like to return to.

The vegetarian quiche available when I was there was pepper-jack...awfully tasty and a good-sized slice too. You order at the counter and find a table. We were there with about 6 people and, although it was fairly busy, it didn't take long (on a late Wednesday morning) for us to find a place for all of us. They've got couches and comfy chairs, as well as regular tables and chairs for a more traditional dining experience. We dug the atmosphere and overall local vibe of the place. They're coffees and things that go in the coffees (milks and honey) are locally sourced, so a good amount of thought goes into what goes into what they're serving you. We'd definitely go again!

First time here, came with friends on a Sunday for lunch. It's located right across from Lake…read moreFowler, so you can choose to dine inside or take your order to-go and sit at one of the lakeside tables. Inside, there are numerous seating areas for different-sized groups, spread across several "rooms" that give you a sense of privacy. Large front windows let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel open and bright. We arrived right around noon, just as the lunch crowd was filling in. There was a short line that moved quickly. Service was friendly and helpful while we placed our order. We decided on the Brie Salad and the Avocado Toast, along with a Lemonade and a London Fog Tea Latte. I gave them my special instructions for the latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam, in a mug), and they were happy to make it exactly as requested. Orders come with a number, and the staff delivers your food right to your table. The wait was short before our food arrived, and the entire meal was excellent. My Avocado Toast was a treat -- layered with toast, cream cheese (yes, cream cheese!), avocado, and feta on top. It was so good as is, but next time I'll ask if they can add a poached egg on top -- that would make it even more amazing. A great first-time experience here. I'd definitely come back for breakfast (or maybe try another lunch).

The food menu is extensive (however definitely more of a breakfast/brunch place), I do wish they had more enticing lunch options. The kids play area is a nice addition that gives my toddlers something to do when we go. We did have an issue finding a table this time - it's been so cold and I think everyone and their mother was a stone creek to get out and do something. Luckily we were able to find a bar seat! The staff is always so friendly, patient and helpful - and they do beautiful latte art for drinks in house.

You wouldb't expect it…read morelooking from outside of the building but this café is super spacious, ample seating and types of seating furniture. It feels like a hotel lobby with conference rooms you can reserve, couches, lounge chairs, low cafe tables, and high top tables. They also carry merch if you're a big fan of the cafe! I tried a Hazelnut Latte with their special of the day Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal. The oatmeal was on the mushy side, I like mine kind of in the middle where I can feel more of the oatmeal texture before it gets to the soft texture, flavor was tasty! Service was easy, there's a visible "Order Here" sign and it didn't take long for my order to be ready. Connecting to WiFi worked, similar to connecting to WiFi in a hotel or Starbucks coffee shop where you have a browser pop up and you click to log in-no ads. Parking was easy to find in a weekday.

Been here a few times in the past. This time, I came with a friend to get a hot beverage and a…read morepastry. Food: They have a large selection of breakfast pastries, including scones, cinnamon rolls, hand pies, and more. There are also some savory items, such as a rosemary biscuit. It was a tough choice, but when in doubt, I go for a scone, and they had a Maple Cinnamon one. I had it warmed up a bit, and it was delicious. These scones are not muffins in disguise, which means the texture is a bit drier and more crumbly--perfect alongside a hot beverage. For my drink, I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte. I was hoping to have it served in an actual ceramic mug, but those are only offered to customers who order drip coffee. That said, they made a very good London Fog, with a little extra lavender and plenty of foam. For my taste, it could have been a bit hotter. Service: Everyone who helped us was kind and helpful and gave us plenty of time to choose the perfect pastries. When ordering the London Fog, they explained how they make theirs and how they would add the extra lavender, which I appreciated. As mentioned above, they do not provide mugs for specialty drinks, using mugs instead to keep track of customers who have paid for bottomless drip coffee. I could bring my own mug from home, but I am not a fan of carrying around coffee shop essentials. Atmosphere: The building is nicely designed on the outside and sits on a corner with plenty of large windows that bring in natural light. It faces north, so you avoid the glaring morning sun. Upon entering, there is a short walk to the counter, where you can view all of the bakery and pastry items. A menu board above clearly displays the breakfast and lunch offerings, making it easy for first time visitors. There are numerous tables that accommodate small groups, and a fireplace with a couple of upholstered chairs offers a cozy seating option. Even after filling up with customers, the noise level was very good, and easy to have casual conversations. A nice visit and a place I would enjoy coming back to.

They even have jugs of water for you to take to your table which I appreciated a lot. Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to come back and try a coffee!

Been here several times…read more It's a "nice" place on Pewaukee Lake. The signage is a little confusing, in that it's attached to another business (VeloCity Cycling), but just open the door and walk in. There are plenty of windows, so you know that you're in the right place. There are several different places to sit. Inside by the counter, a glass enclosed patio with a better view of the lake (the sunny can be overly bright and glaring), and outside seating during warmer weather. Got a friendly greeting by the staff, and help with the ordering. Got a couple hot drinks, including a London Fog Latte, and two scones (one blueberry, and another chocolate chip). The drinks were done nicely, with the London Fog including the necessary vanilla, lavender, and extra foam. The scones were good, but definitely not a traditional recipe. These were essentially muffins that were cooked on a cookie sheet and not a muffin tin. Had great muffing texture, not the tender/dry/crumble that you get with a real scone. I did ask, and apparently they make everything from scratch in house. When we arrived, there were just several tables of customers, but within the hour the entire place filled up. It's a popular place, and at times it could be hard to hold a conversation. It's a nice spot, with a great view, friendly staff and well made beverages. Would stop in again.
