This is my favorite brunch when I'm back home. During the summer they serve strawberry rhubarb French toast, the brioche is filled with compote and custard, it's not too sweet and so delicate. The bloody Mary's with the little beer sidecar are a must on the patio. I'm sad they had a fire and I hope they open up again soon :( need this place in my life!! read more

Its a kenosha breakfast staple. Easily one of the top 2 or 3 breakfast options in town. Prices are high for breakfast. I believe you will spend about 20$ per person on average Food and menu options are excellent in my opinion its a must try if you have never been . read more

It was a quaint little stop as I was walking around the area. Drinks and food were good. One of the better Reuben's I've had. I sat outside and the patio was nice. They are cash only which I didn't know. read more

The Coffee Pot - Reuben - Diners Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Went for breakfast with my wife on our 45th Anniversary. In one and one half hours, we got a cup of coffee, and this is not an exaggeration. I talked to the waitress twice. The second time around was at the hour and a half mark. She came back and said, "I think they are just putting it down now." These things happen I know, but we got up and left telling the hostess what had happened. She said, "Sorry" Sorry? We are way past sorry. If she had said something a little more attuned to customer service, we would have gone back. Not happening. Not us, not our family, and not our friends. Bad business. read more

Good food. This place is a Kenosha staple but this visit, there seems to have been something going on with the wait staff and ours wasn't very happy. Oh well, people have days. The place was cozy and packed...always a sign of good food! read more

The Coffee Pot was a cozy breakfast place, with traditional dinner food. I had the Perkalator and a Herbavor Omellet. Both were good. The toast is made in house... it was very filling. I read the comments about the rude service, although no one was rude to us, there were some servers that didn't seem happy to be there. And yes, it's cash only... but there is a ATM on site. read more

The Coffee Pot - two plates of food on a table - Diners Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

A nice locally owned great place for breakfast or lunch. Cute and decorated so nicely. They never disappoint- the eggs are cooked to order....beautifully. The omelets are huge- 3 eggs with lots of ingredients. Pancakes and stuffed French toast are delish. Lunch items are great for a nice soup of the day - and choices of deli sandwiches, Rueben's, burgers and the like. Service is wonderful. Kind, relaxing and allows you to enjoy your time while at the Coffee Pot. read more

Went out for breakfast and decided to go to the coffee pot. We were seated right away and service was fast. We got our Drinks right away and placed our order. I will say that my coffee cup did not go under half at anytime!! We got our food and was definitely hot to the last bite since it came off the flat top and to the table. I ordered the omnivore, wife ordered the two eggs, toast hash browns, and ham. Our. Kid ordered the biscuits and gravy w/ two eggs. All the food was hot and delicious. We definitely will go back! And all reasonably priced. Service was great! The restaurant had a nice and quaint feel. read more

The Coffee Pot - Omnivore Omelette w hash browns and homemade toast - Diners Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Food was good but not great .haven't been there for a while. Nice waitresses. Decor is a bit dated .good coffee.

This place is amazing! The service with a heartfelt welcome, truly smiles!! Cool old school stools around the counter seats! Always a favorite place to sit at a dinner and got lucky to grab 5 seats w/reservation. Crowded, but moves in and out quickly. Our fresh bread of the day was oatmeal and superb!!! No butter needed, try dunking toast in coffee, no butter necessary! Biscuits and gravy, not salty and perfect ratio. Be aware--- HÜGE PORTIONS, so option of half orders suggested. Flat top sausage patty (no links) thin flatopped crisped on outside and tender inside. Well, of course the perfect hair of the dog after a night of a bar crawl in Kenosha!! THE Bloody Mary, a surprise crisp bacon strip added to garnish. Excellent nonstop coffee. My first visit and will be back. CASH ONLY! read more

I heard nice things about The Coffee Pot. I found out most of what I heard was true. We arrived late in the morning and were more interested in lunch. I had the half pound hamburger with cheddar. The MRS went for a BLT. We weren't pressed to order quickly, difficult task with the menu size and seeing all of the other plates pass by. We didn't expect a hot dog stand speed turn around on getting or order either. The shelves of old nick knacks occupied us until the food arrived. Wait wasn't long either. We were both very impressed with the plating. While enjoying our meal, I got a whiff of something sweet n' cinnamon. There was a big tray of fresh rolls on the counter and it got to be too much to handle. We took one to split at home. Come again? Sure thing! I had just had knee surgery and was using a walker. Hint, use the side door. Oh, the coffee...5 out of 5. read more

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast. Always welcoming and kind. Hot coffee and food was great as always.

This is a cute little diner nearly on Lake Michigan. It's great for a good home cooked breakfast. It is a favorite to go to in downtown Kenosha. We've tried a variety of dishes, omelets and pancakes. Everything has been good. No complaints really, but also, nothing that sticks out that makes this place any better than other favorites. It's a solid place for all breakfast foods and I believe they serve lunch as well. My favorite meal here was sitting at the counters in the back watching them prepare food. The cooks wow'ed me with their ability to quickly and efficiently prepare multiple meals on the same hot plate at the same time. If you're in the area, check out this place out. They were cash only, but have an atm in their restaurant. read more

I ordered the Percolator, which is supposed to contain eggs, sausage, green pepper, onion, jalapenos, and shredded potato, all hashed together. I got a platter of potato with green pepper and onion. I saw tiny specs of egg, so I'm assuming an egg was added at some point. I certainly couldn't taste it. Sausage was nowhere in sight. I tasted jalapeno pepper in one bite, that was it. Coffee was ok, toast was the high point. Big disappointment overall. read more

Breakfast art. Originally opened in the 1930s, the Coffee Pot has had different names, but remains at the original location serving the same delicious breakfast and lunch menu. Although they can be very busy on the weekends, the table turnover seems to go quickly and within minutes you'll be seated sipping fresh brewed coffee while pondering the lengthy and innovate menu. We went with something new and something traditional. The "Reuben Omelet" is just what is sounds like, a fluffy three egg omelet wrapped around corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and even thousand island dressing if you want it. Or get it on the side for dipping. I went with ham and eggs, a thick slice of ham "off the bone" ( a think in these parts), a nice little char from the grill on it, two perfectly cooked eggs over easy, crispy breakfast potatoes and house-baked toast. The menu offers some old favorites and new dishes at lunch time. Fresh made sandwiches, juicy burgers, crisp salads and even a veggie plate. They're proud of their bloody marys and mimosas and have some craft beers and splits of wine on hand. The Coffee Pot has recently added a couple of "hotel" rooms upstairs, if you're inclined to explore the neighborhood for the weekend and have a couple great meals brought upstairs to you. Burgers in bed anyone? Yes please. read more

Either the first experience here was off the charts outstanding or things have slid down hill...not sure, but I'm here a lot and can recognize huge degrees of variability in the experience and food. Super Meh trend... Service - when you get it, it's fine. Getting it is the hard part. Why? It's nearly impossible to figure who, when or where you need to check in with a host. There is no hostess station... crazy concept ... one stationary person managing patron and seating - I know crazy. If that catches on remember I invented it. The host may be a bartender, it could be wait staff, they could be bussing, they might be inside, they might be outside... who knows, but what they will always be is annoyed that EVERYONE is annoyed with them. This is such a total fail. Service, like the kind Tina, delivers, is awesome... others seem troubled, bothered or or just indifferent, not all but many. Food has been really inconsistent to include this morning. The chili... never the same, warm, sometimes hot. Scrambled eggs do not exist...they are merely the same as the omelet... just chopped up thin omelets... super dry! Ham steak, eggs, chili, consistent theme with food temp... appears cooked and hot but is warm at best. Super in consistent. Taken as whole, it's tougher and tougher to consider acceptable. read more

Found this breakfast spot on a whim. There was a little bit of a wait. This place had good reviews and I was curious about the bennies on the menu. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, and was not disappointed. The poached eggs were on a delicious piece of bread, instead of the standard English muffin. The bread seemed homemade. Loved the hollandaise sauce and the dill and capers went together perfectly. We also tried the pecan tartlets with bacon and goat cheese. These were to die for. The coffee was decent as well. Needless to say, we were happy to stop here, even if it gets pretty loud inside. read more

We've gone to The Coffee Pot a few times, usually in the summer and we've sat outside. This past weekend we went inside and again we had a lovely experience. We were greeted by our server Arika (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly), she was so pleasant and friendly and has a beautiful smile. Then the food came and it was also delicious and well prepared. Arika came by to check on us and spoke a little Spanish and my husband who also speaks Spanish picked up on it and they started talking to each other. It was fun. She makes the place with her positive attitude and sunny disposition and the food is great too. They make their own bread and corned beef hash - so good! I had left-over hash and it was delicious on the reheat with eggs two days later. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

The best pancakes ever! Also, there is a real mom and pop feel to the venue. The staff are fun and friendly, and the service is quick. The one down side, CASH ONLY! While I get the concept, get with the times please. Not many people carry cash anymore. And when I have to stop at the atm, before I come to your business, I just might not come. As long as you have cash on hand, prepare your tastebuds for one hell of a ride. read more

I lived in Kenosha for about 10 years and most of them were three blocks away on the same street and side but I never stopped by and what a shame because this is a pretty cool breakfast spot. The place is old school looking with black/white checker floors, tin ceilings and the old school lunch counter with the permanent round stools. 50s kitchen tables and chairs were a nice touch to finish off the look. The menu had a nice selection of breakfast with biscuits/gravy, duck bacon, Benny's, omelettes etc but the hand carved ham with eggs just sounded good. The breakfast came with three eggs, home made toast, hash browns and a nice looking piece of real ham. The plate looked pretty mangled was my first thought, WTF happened to my sunny side eggs and this is how there going to serve them to me, so much for presentation. I can't believe they screwed up my eggs and sent it over to me anyway. The home made toast was so freaking awesome with a tasty butter, my butter doesn't taste this good, dam good toast. Thick cut and dense, like the texture of good corn bread that is fresh. The ham was not cooked to death with a juicy sweet fresh flavor, not the smokey in your face kind. The hash browns were ok and nothing special. The service was not very attentive once the food came because the servers talk to all the regulars or each other but not horrible. Overall I like menu, I like the place, I like the food for the most part and I think it has great potential for great breakfast spot, I would stop back to try some more of the cool menu and update this review with a different experience. read more

I live in Michigan. Every time I come to Wisconsin to visit family, this place is a must stop! Always friendly. Always good food! Pretty much get the Veggie Benny and it's consistently fabulous! Today my husband got the banana chocolate chip French Toast. Had a bite and I almost wish I would have gotten the same. Almost. Look at this pic'o-yumminess! Never dissatisfied. They top off your life blood... I mean coffee, lol, without asking. Completely and totally recommend this place. This Michigander is jealous of you Wisconsinites.... Well, for the packers and the coffee pot! If you live in the state and haven't been here? Why? read more

Come early or you will be in for a wait. We were happy to set outside as the flow is pretty fast here. After about 10-15 min wait we were seated at the outside bar. We were asked our drunk order in a few mins and were also able to place our food order. Bloody Mary's and mimosas are available. My wife had the salmon benedict and I had the carnivore omelette. The weather was perfect to enjoy a great breakfast. read more

Great place good breakfast having been eating on and off there for 10 yrs now it is busy so don't give up

The food is fine and nothing remarkable. The staff seemed unhappy when I asked to see a menu, which is weird. It also felt needlessly hostel when I ordered. I hope it was a bad day for everyone. Food was fine. Everyone on staff was unpleasant read more

Great place for breakfasts especially when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. The homemade toast is always rockstar. Any of the Benedict's are done well. I actually don't think you can go wrong with anything you get. read more

This place is awful. Love the location and it is a cute quaint restaurant but the food is BAD. Ordered French toast on homemade bread and I could tell the bread was good, but it was waaay undercooked, the bread was HARD and want even warm in the middle - like they did a 2 second egg dip and slapped it on the griddle for a minute. Friend also had regular French toast and it was soggy and undercooked. They charged $4 for a tiny OJ that I literally saw them pour out of the Tropicana bottle. When I NICELY asked the cook to put the French toast back on the griddle, she had a crappy attitude and literally dumped it back in the grill with the same crappy attitude. As my dad used to say..,I wouldn't bring my dog here.... Service was fine. read more

The food was just okay but the service was awful!! They never came back to refill anything. The waitress was annoyed that I forgot it was cash only (yes, I had cash so they didn't make a fee on forcing me to use their ATM). It is hard to find a breakfast joint with gluten/dairy free but I'll keep looking! I tried to give zero stars but apparently you cannot!! read more

First time eating here! I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I just had to have giant (bigger than your face) buttermilk pancakes for breakfast. Door dash offered free delivery from this restaurant, so I went for it. I was not disappointed! The pancakes were delicious, and the biscuits and gravy were great too! A little runnier than I'm used to, but still good! read more

Cute little pay cash or CHECK cafe. Lol Friendly service but food was hit or miss. Eggs. Yum. Homemade bread French today. Meh. Too dry. Great actual chocolate milk. Strawberries on top of original French toast are either compote or frozen and thawed. Not fresh. They were really nice and remade the French today plain when our waitress heard my young granddaughter complaining about it to me. Bacon. Yum. Buttered toast. Also yum. Overall, it's nice and we'll be back. But we'll stick with protein food. Or maybe try the lemon poppyseed French toast if it's there. read more

My husband and I absolutely loved this place. The corned beef hash was probably the best we've had and the service was wonderful as well!!

We were looking for a nice place to grab a drink and bite to eat and we found The Coffee Pot. The food and drinks and service were really good! The only complaint we have is that we got there apparently right before they closed and we felt rushed when our meal came because they were putting up all the chairs and sweeping the floors and one of the employees made a comment saying that they are all done because they are closed. We really wish we would have been told they were closing so we would have known that we wouldn't have time to sit back and enjoy our meal. I am a slow eater so I ended up taking half my meal home. The other thing is that they are cash only, but they do have an ATM. read more

I am visiting from the north east and I am so happy that I found this local gem! If you have been to the little towns in Vermont and know the joy of finding the local breakfast spot that sets you up to have an awesome day, both physically and emotionally ally, then you will understand my appreciation of finding The Coffee Pot!!! This is old school charm both in the food that fills your plate and the atmosphere. You may have a short wait for a table but there is a very good reason people wait. The coffee is perfect, the slices of homemade toast are worth the trip alone, and the menu has something for everyone! As much as I would love to sit down to pancakes or French toast, that is not what my body works well with. But my breakfast bowl of quinoa, veggies and poached eggs made me feel like I missed out on nothing! Gluten free options, veggie options s. This place is an all star treasure!!!! read more
