I stopped here on a recent visit to Wisconsin for a meal before my sister's wedding and I was not disappointed. It's a busy place so we had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday morning, but I was OK with it. The building itself is pretty good sized. They have a couple of different rooms with lots of tables and booths. They also have some tables outside to wait at, but I'm not sure if they have an actual outdoor patio to eat at. The service was great and everyone was friendly. They all definitely work well as a team. I started out with just a plain black coffee. They also have iced coffees and Frappuccino type coffees. I believe they have juices and can even make some cocktails like mimosas. They did offer me sugar and cream with my coffee, but I just like my coffee black so that's how I ordered it. For my entrée, I ordered the village omelette and added gyro. It comes with spinach, tomatoes, and feta so the gyro meat sounded delightful in it. It also came with a choice of side, and I opted for fresh fruit. And then finally, you can choose between pancakes or toast. I went with plain sourdough toast. Everything was great and super fresh. The omelette was filling and well-made. They have a gyro sandwich and based on that omelette, I would definitely get the sandwich. The meat was tender and flavorful. And the feta gave the perfect little salty tang. I actually want to re-create the omelette that I had there here in Kansas City because it was so so good. The fruit was fresh and was mainly just honeydew and cantaloupe. And the toast was a perfect vehicle for some of the omelette to my mouth. Overall, I loved this brunch spot. If I lived in the area, I would go pretty regularly. If you are up north in Wisconsin stop in and check them out because you will not be disappointed. read more

Rare is it that I go out for two meals in a day, and never before to the same restaurant for them! But yesterday, we had to drop off my car for some repair work, so indulged in breakfast out at The Coop, a favorite. The food is always delicious, the service is truly impeccable with well trained, friendly servers, and it's very clean and homey. I had an egg special, and my choices included two (perfectly cooked) poached eggs, three crisp on the outside sausages, a well balanced fruit bowl with fresh pineapple, melons, and grapes, and a short stack of their light and fluffy pancakes. My husband had over easy eggs, bacon, pancakes and fruit, plus we both had The Coop's rich, deeply flavorful coffee. Everything was excellent and at a most affordable price. Fast forward several hours: my daughter and her young sons were in the area on an errand, so we met up and of course the boys were hungry, so as The Coop was, once again, very close, we went there. My daughter was very happy to see decidedly different menu options for kids' meals than the usual. Two of them had grilled cheese sandwiches with fruit cups, the third had a scrambled egg, sausage, a pancake and fruit, my daughter had French toast, and I had two cheeseburger sliders with fries. Everyone loved their food and the atmosphere, and they all want to go back. Two great experiences in one day! read more

This was a disappointment. It was the top recommendation from Yelp, but does not hold up. How could they have the assortment of pancakes, waffles and French toast that they offer and NOT have real maple syrup? And how can they serve Lavazza coffee and only have synthetic creamers packaged in plastic? On the upside, the the Eggs Benedict were good, but not good enough for us to ever go back. read more

We ate here for the first time (four of us) last weekend on a busy Saturday morning and were blown away! I had the El Toro omelette with the Mama's Cheesy Hash which was exceptional! The others had the Down South Chicken N' Waffle, The Breakfast Tacos, and Country Fried Steak. It was all outstanding! (and the Cloud 9 Crepes and picture perfect stack of pancakes delivered to the table next to us looked mouthwatering as well!) Beto, who got us seated, gave recommendations and kept beverages filled, and was friendly and welcoming! I don't recall our server's name, but both were awesome! I can't recommend this restaurant enough and can't wait to go back! read more

Food and service is amazing. I like to try something different whenever I go there. I love their omelets.

Came here with a group for breakfast and the service was fast and friendly. She separated our checks which was very appreciated and was extremely accommodating to some guests coming later than others. I ordered the Southerner Benny. The gravy was yummy but the biscuit was a little too filling for me with how heavy the rest of the dish was - I'm sure people love it but it just wasn't for me. The cheesy hash browns were amazing, I mean who doesn't like cheesy hash browns.... This place is a classic family restaurant style/atmosphere but with more food options/variety. This was my first time and I can't wait to come again! read more

Always great food with good service. I LOVE the Kentucky Fried breakfast bowl. Their sweet options like the banana bread French toast and crème brûlée French toast are amazing! Also they have the best homemade chicken dumpling soup! Best breakfast spot in Waukesha! read more

Went for breakfast with a friend of mine. It's been a while since I've been here as there's so many options these days. I really enjoy the variety on the menu. It was a bit busy, but that's a good sign! The service was accurate and I enjoyed my bloody Mary. We will definitely be back in the future. read more

Great breakfast specials and lunch specials. Best bacon ever. My go to when I don't want to cook.

Have been wanting to come here for a while- Enjoyed my meal! Lots of great options to choose from. You can get fruit or potatoes AND toast or a pancake with your omelet which I thought was great! Not super cheap but it's a lot of food. Also tried the banana bread latte which was okay but kind of watered down. All the workers were very friendly! I would come again! read more

There's plenty of parking and easy access in to restaurant. They are always busy and there was a 10-15 minute wait which was accurate. As soon as we walked in the NOISE smacks you right in the face and ears. The restaurant was spacious and clean with a nice menu but the NOISE makes it almost unbearable. My wife ordered the Crème brûlée French toast which looked good but was extremely sweet and quickly turned mushy. She would not order it again. My mother in law ordered French toast and bacon. The bacon was hard and difficult for her to eat and the French toast was average. I ordered a BLT, added an egg to make it a BELT, and then added cheese to make it a BELTCH sandwich with crispy fries and a cup of chicken dumpling soup which came with the meal. I even told the waitress that I hate soggy limp fries. Because I lost my smell and taste 5 months ago I asked my wife to try the soup, and when she took 2 spoons I knew she liked it and she told me it tasted good. My sandwich was nice and thick, full of good food and the lettuce was very fresh but they were hot house tomatoes. My fries arrived COLD and SOGGY . I would order it again, however, I doubt we will ever return to the restaurant. The WOMENs restroom is under construction so they have to share with the men and I would think that a restaurant that size with only one functioning restroom is a health code violation. While waiting in line to use the men's restroom, a very nice lady told me that it's been under construction for a very long time. I noticed that there were 4 men inside of the restroom standing around TALKING and NO WORK was being done. They made sure to try to keep the door closed every time someone walked by. I sure hope that they are not being paid by the hour. If you try out the restaurant, Take ear plugs and schedule extra time for your visit. The restaurant is average at best, read more

Excellent food, I especially love their scrambled eggs special, the eggs are always so incredibly fluffy, bacon is nice and thick, their sourdough toast is perfect, and they have options for fruit or various different types of potatoes, can't go wrong!! At peak times they can be busy and there can be await, however, it's not usually very long if you read a few emails while waiting the time flies and the weight is usually not as long as they suggest. read more

Always great food with great service! A fantastic breakfast spot and is often our go to.

We met up with some friends the morning after a wedding to enjoy some breakfast, we were seated right away. The menu is large enough, there is something for everyone. Our server was so friendly as we were all a little undecisive at first. I enjoyed a delicious creme brulee latte and the breakfast tacos. Others enjoyed some of the skillets and coffees. We thought the food was delicious and a good amount for the price. I would love to stop by another time and try more! read more

Hands down the best breakfast place in Waukesha. Excellent food, good portions, and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful service. Great place to check out. The food was better than expected and all the employees were so polite.

We keep coming back to this place due to the friendly service and consistently high quality breakfast. The place has a great location in Waukesha. Whether you order a skillet, omelet, or pancakes, the food is always perfectly prepared. The smoothies are really good as well. read more

Made another trip to The Coop on Friday and it was fine. I ordered the apple cinnamon French toast (an autumn special) and it was just alright. I ate about half of it, but the apple topping was essentially canned apple pie filling -- a little too goopy and artificial for my taste. I wouldn't recommend it as there are plenty of other yummy things on the menu. Our server wasn't spectacular. She only made one trip to our table to take our food and beverage order and then one more to drop off the food. It would have been nice to get a beverage refill. We had to wave her down for the check. As for ambiance, The Coop is a cute little diner. It's cozy and clean, but nothing too special. Even though this trip was mediocre, I'll probably visit The Coop again in the future. read more

Ordered their Reuben sandwich and fries. The sandwich was very good but could have used a little more thousand island dressing. The fries were good and received a nice portion. Also order an iced coffee, nothing fancy, just coffee over ice, nothing else. The cost was $4.95 with no refill. their hot coffee is $3.25 and is refilled as you would like. It can't cost $1.70 to add ice and not providing any refill makes it that much worse. read more

Awesome breakfast / brunch / lunch place with table service. Went on a Friday around noon and were seated right away. Our server was friendly and prompt. Menu has a lot of options - everyone can find something they will love. I had the Coop burger and fries, delicious. Too big, had to take half the burger home. Same with the Coop skillet - fantastic taste and enough leftovers for breakfast for 2 of us (we added some additional eggs). We had a small kiddo making a fair bit of noise toward the end of our meal, but other than that the restaurant was not too loud and was very clean. We considered coming back another day during my visit to Waukesha, it was that good. read more

Wow!! This place is amazing. We were seated right away. The place was extremely clean. I ordered the daily special ham and cheese omelette. The portions were huge. My omelette came with red skinned potatoes and toast. Food was fresh and served hot. My husband had peach cobbler pancakes that he said was excellent. Peaches were so fresh. Great prices for the amount of food you got. Will definitely come back if ever in this area of the country again. Worth going out of your way to try this place read more

A personal favorite of mine, their use of local coffee brand, Colectivo, exacerbates their local feel and reputation. The chicken and dumpling soup is one of the greatest soups in Waukesha I have ever tasted, perfectly seasoned to perfection, and the dumplings are soft and tender. The soup keeps calling me back every time I put down the spoon. Like a pie in a window seal, I can't help but get drawn to its amazing flavors. The Southwest chicken wrap is a perfect example of textbook food science working for the betterment of the dish, the texture makes my mouth burst with flavor that would otherwise be lost if made sloppy, the perfect ratio of lettuce, tomato, onion, corn, beans, sauce, and chicken create a classy cotillion on my taste buds. Overall the service was phenomenal, the food was delicious, the coffee was eye opening, and their atmosphere is sweet, cozy, and local. 10/10 in all categories read more

Great restaurant friendly people! Whether your passing through or new in town.This is your place makes you feel at home!

We enjoy a nice brunch at the Coop but it's usually pretty last minute. Despite how little time we leave ourselves, we know we'll always be able to find a spot (after a little wait) there, and be able to get our hands on some excellent food. It's your typical diner fare, but we have always left happy. And I'm a fan of the tiramisu iced coffee... read more

Espanola skillet Offering great food, expertly prepared at a good price, this was a great choice for brunch. The menu covered all the basics. I had the Espanola skillet, delivered exactly as ordered, with jalapeños and salsa on the side. The two-egg skillet with eggs on top meant the eggs disappeared pretty quickly but the portions of chicken and ham were particularly generous, with plenty of each leftover in my to-go box. Taylor took good care of us and let my husband believe his jokes were funny. There wasn't much room for improvement, except maybe a better distribution strategy for the cheese, which was super thick in some areas and pretty light in others. If you're looking for brunch in Waukesha, you can't go wrong here. read more

The coop is a cute breakfast spot that has somewhat of an old school feel with the seating but with a modern and delicious menu. The tacos were incredible. Healthy serving of chicken any eggs and the sauce was very tasty. They are a bit messy as the tortillas are very full of filling. It is not clear on the menu but the chicken is an extra charge for the tacos, they can be ordered without additional meat. It was good but next time I will get them without to have it a more traditional breakfast taco flavor. The waitress was very pleasant and kept our coffees and waters full throughout the our meal. The check can be paid off of a QR code while sitting at your table which is very convenient if there is a line at the front register. Overall highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area. I haven'y tried something I haven't liked yet. read more

LOVE the Coop! Used to go there with my recently departed Dad (and before that, with my departed mom as well). ALWAYS good food and great service. The food is plentiful, tasty, and filling. I ordered the breakfast tacos which were HUGE, I took nearly all of it home for meals for the next 2 days! The ONLY suggestion would be to offer customers the choice of EITHER corn tortillas or flour tortillas for the tacos, for those who prefer one over the other. But overall, I give the Coop two thumbs up, and will be back again! read more
