Trendy breakfast spot with a good mix of food options from savory and sweet to light and lean. The Table Cake was delicious, but will definitely fill you up. I'd recommend getting with 4 or more people to split with. The maple butter sauce and lemon zest paired well. The Crispy Cod Sandwich was good. Cod was flaky with a light crust and it was two smaller pieces versus one large filet. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

I wanted to like this place as the decor is very cute but I ordered a Daisy Cake and it was smothered in very sweet fake syrup. That is not my cup of tea at all and never mentioned in the description. When I explained to the server, she didn't apologize or offer to make it right. It did not taste good. read more

This place was so yum! I had the Mediterranean Harvest Bowl, which was a large portion size and very good. The breakfast potatoes and their classic daisy cakes are both a must have. The cakes were soft, fluffy, and melted, not to mention drenched in syrup. Parking can get a little chaotic when the Corners are busy, but it is only a short walk to the restaurant. The interior is very cute, complete with pink ceilings! Our server was very nice and checked on us often. read more

Came here a week earlier as part of a Yelp event. I liked it so much that I came back for breakfast and brought a friend. Food: They have an awesome menu with lots to choose from. I had fully intended to get the Norwegian Benedict, which I had sampled at the event, but the thought of having an entire Apple Pecan Daisy Cake to myself was just too hard to say no to. So that's what I ordered. Now I realize that might be more like dessert, but that's a whole other topic. The food came out in short order, and both my Daisy Cake and my friend's Classic Benedict were excellent. Good temperature, spot-on flavors, and generous portions. I had to get a box to take some home. I also ordered a Chai Latte, which they did an excellent job with. Lots of nice foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Service: We had great service the entire time. We were seated right away, and the waters and menus followed quickly. The place wasn't crowded, so we felt like we could take our time, and that worked out well. The server did a nice job checking in with us: "How's the food?", "Do you need more water?", and "Can I bring you a to-go box?" Friendly and efficient. Thanks, Ari. Atmosphere: This place is well designed. There's lots of bright natural light coming through the windows, and the seating offers plenty of options. The noise level was good (even at the Yelp event when the place was full). It feels both upscale and relaxed. This place checks all the boxes for either breakfast or lunch. I will definitely be returning. read more

Went for the first time this morning for a late breakfast. My first thought was the temperature of the restaurant. Due to the fact that the entrance is near where the tables are there is a lot of drafts in the front of the restaurant. We had to wait longer for a table because we did not want to be cold. When we sat down, the service started out good. The waitress was very attentive. As the meal went on, we were waiting on her to come to our table so we could ask for more creamer, more coffee, etc. The water brought to the table was also not cold. Maybe consider closing a smaller area around the front door? As for the food, three out of the four people had omelettes and they were extremely good! One of them was missing an ingredient ordered, but my friend chose not to say anything. The salad on the side could use a little bit more vinaigrette as it was a bit bland. I ordered the pastrami hash. The presentation was beautiful. The pastrami was a bit fatty, but overall the flavor was good. I think this restaurant has room to improve but simple fixes. read more

Waking Daisy is cute breakfast spot at the Corners in Brookfield that I'm happy to report checked all the boxes this chilly Saturday morning. Seated quickly and cheerfully greeted with a carafe of water, we started our meal with a small pot of Anodyne (my favorite) coffee. As we are avid coffee drinkers, I was concerned about the size of our pot of coffee but our server was quick to replace it with a fresh pot when we needed more. Our server was attentive and friendly from start to finish! I ordered my go to, classic Benedict, with pulled ham and a toasted English muffin. The petite greens were lightly dressed and a delicious side to the crispy potatoes and Benedict. The pulled ham wasn't as salty as I usually like but there was a generous amount of ham and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. I loved every bite of my breakfast! Overall, Waking Daisy was a great place for breakfast and we're already planning to come back to try the famous daisy pancake! read more

Waking Daisy had caught my eye from the road and I was excited to try their brunch offerings. I really enjoyed the Chicken & Pancake. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The pancake was thick and the syrup delicious - not too sweet, just how I like it. This is a standout Milwaukee brunch dish for me! The Irish coffee was a miss and service was a bit slow/didn't check back much. But I would be happy to come back and try more! read more

Had a great experience at Waking Daisy this morning. Open since July, they are running very smoothly. The servers are kind and attentive, making sure our table coffee pot was always never empty. This decor is super cute. The checkered green table tops are reminiscent of a neighborhood diner. Clean and bright, they've created an extremely pleasant environment to enjoy a breakfast or brunch. I had the Rita's Classic Combo with thick cut bacon. Eggs were perfectly over hard and the herb potatoes were a tasty addition to the plate. In my opinion, the only thing that needs improving is the cook of the bacon and the coffee pots on the table. I prefer my bacon crispier than how it was cooked and the coffee pots are far too small to have them on the table. They barely fill 2 cups on the table. These aren't enough to keep me away. I'll be back for sure read more

Ordered the Korean breakfast bowl and it hit the savory spot I was looking for. The egg was perfectly runny and meant to be mixed into the rice and pickled onions. And let's be honest--I've never met a pork belly I didn't like, and this one did not disappoint. Delicious and well balanced. The space is bright and comfortable, and our waitress was friendly and helpful, which was especially appreciated since this was my first visit. I'll definitely be back--next time when I'm in the mood for something sweet. read more

Wonderful service- so kind from host to server. Lots of tables and booths- and outside dining. Table cake- tasty!! Loved their homemade honey maple syrup...nice item to share. Our table enjoyed our meals- all egg dishes- from the rose's plate to steak and eggs. Coffee was hot and plentiful. Enjoyed our visit. A little pricey- but again, a nice place to come for a breakfast or lunch to meet friends. read more

Finally got to try waking daisy and it was all amazing! There is a huge parking lot outside so parking is not a problem. The restaurant had a nice vibe and perfect vibe for brunch and a good time. The service was amazing, we always had someone come check on us to make sure everything was okay. The food was delicious we got the table cake for the start and it was beyond fluffy. I also got the "that's my jam" burger and I did not think it was going to blow my mind away but it was packed full of flavors! I can't wait to come back and try more items. read more

I gave this restaurant an extra star because I liked the vibe inside. It's really cutesy. For the food. I tried the daisy cake and was excited to see what it would be like. I'm glad I tried it but I wasn't very fond of it. It was dense (not a problem) but the flavor was something I don't have to have again. For my meal I had the Korean breakfast bowl. The pork belly was flavorful but everything else fell a flat to me. Not much flavor unfortunately. I was with my mom and she got a pastrami sandwich which was salty for my taste but I will say the portion sizes are good. I'd be open to coming back and trying a couple more items. read more

I have a couple of girlfriends who love to go for brunch. Finding a new place that is as good as Waking Daisy is such a treat! I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes early and got to chat with Michael, who turned out to be the General Manager. He was a delight! So excited about the restaurant the menu! I found out that he is a chef and helped inspire the menu, and contributed recipes for several of the dishes. He also told me that Waking Daisy tries to source their ingredients locally, including their meats. The restaurant was bright and cheery and had comfortable tables and booths. They also have outdoor seating. Michael suggested that we try the Table Pancake, which is their Daisy Cake with Honey Maple Butter Sauce - oh my word! So delicious! We didn't finish it because we all wanted to enjoy our meals. I ordered the biscuits and gravy (because Michael suggested it and because I love biscuits and gravy). It was also delicious! And I would order it again! The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy and served atop nice, tender biscuits, then covered in gravy with pieces of locally sourced sausage. It was served with a salad that was lightly dressed with a citrusy dressing and great potatoes! One of my friends had the grilled cheese - and she's still talking about how great it was! It has homemade tomato jam, caramelized onions, goat cheese, and fontina grilled on sourdough bread. She chose the salad as her side and enjoyed it as well. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure that we didn't feel rushed to leave after we were done. I also got to meet the bar manager (I wish I could remember his name), he was also excited to be a part of this new restaurant. He told me that the owners also own the Fresh Fin restaurant, which is located right next door to Waking Daisy, and it's also outstanding! We all agreed that we should come back and bring our hubbies. Great job, Michael and crew!!!! read more

Came here with a couple of friends early Sunday morning and were seated promptly with no reservation. The decor is cutesy. It's a floral/picnic theme. Really bright colors that provide a cheerful vibe. Our waitress, Arika Y, was attentive and helpful with recommendations. Onto the food. We ordered the table cake (6/10). Really fluffy and I liked the honey sauce but there was a sharp taste to the pancake that I personally didn't enjoy. My friends had the pastrami hash and chorizo has which they enjoyed. I had the Korean breakfast bowl (8.5/10). It was pretty good but could have had a bit more seasoning on the rice although the pork belly was incredibly tender. Waking daisy seems like a great addition to the area and I'd definitely visit again. read more

First visit to this newly opened breakfast/lunch spot at the Corners, and it won't be the last! We were welcomed in and seated quickly. Our server promptly stopped by. The decor and overall vibe are fun and relaxed. I tried the omelette this time - very good. A few tweaks would have made it awesome - a little seasoning (my friend who had the same agreed) and maybe chopping up those onions a little smaller so they cook a little more thoroughly and don't overwhelm. But it was tasty, the portion size was great, and the potatoes and greens on the side were a nice addition. Can't wait to come back and try another menu item soon - lots of dishes on my "need to try" list, like those signature Daisy cakes! read more

The cutiest breakfast place in the area! Servers are so friendly. One of the best things is that they open at 7! Perfect for a family like us who wake up early haha. It was not busy at all from 7:30 - 9 on the Saturday we went. The food and drinks were served fast. We enjoyed the Daisy Cake w Chicken Katsu and Pastrami Hash as a family (even our picky toddler ate a lot!). The fluffy Daisy Cake w the honey butter sauce was so good! Nice, clean, bright, delicious... a solid MKE breakfast and brunch place. Update: our second visit also happened on an early Sat morning for us. Quiet, bright but very friendly environment. Got a Mezze bowl, a Korean bowl and kids French toast and particularly liked the Mezze bowl. read more

I'll be honest. The entrees were not very good. The inside was really cute, had some good drink options, and the service was great! But the food lacked a lot and when you are paying $20 for breakfast food you expect it to be better than what you can make at home. Pastrami hash, was too salty, the greens on the side were of no addition to flavor or even a normal breakfast side. The Korean bowl should definitely have more than 2 pieces of meat as well. The croissant beignets were the best thing we had. Warm with a good sauce. Overall, I would not come again though unfortunately. read more

We went for Sunday monthly brunch and had such a great experience. This place has a simple, fresh look with a cozy vibe. Even though it was busy, we got seated quickly and never felt rushed to get ordering and get moving. Our server Grayce was so sweet checked in just enough without hovering which is something I have experienced in the past in other places. The food came fairly quickly and was delicious (my avocado toast was perfect, not too salty or overdone). My friends loved their breakfasts too. I really liked that each coffee came with its own little pot, so no waiting around for refills. The place was lively but still felt relaxed overall just a really nice atmosphere, great meal and right in the middle of all this stores so when we got done with breakfast, we all went to do some shopping around. read more

We tried this on a whim and it did not disappoint! We didn't know there were going to be so many Japanese inspired dishes but they were so good and flavorful! I can't wait to return and try their famous pancakes. The inside looks like a new retro inspired diner. They have cocktails and different coffee options. The service was quick and friendly. There was a wait of about 30 minutes. We went on a Sunday morning but it didn't take that long and was definitely worth it! read more

The decor of the place is cute and happy colors. The coffee corner and bar seating by the window makes the wait more tolerable and you can order drinks on your phone while waiting. We waited about 25mins during Saturday around 11am. My kid had pancakes which he loved, lemonade was a bit too sour for his taste. My Matcha Latte which I would prefer not sweet. The Kimchi made the katsu soggy, taste was good just wish the chicken was more crispy. read more

Service was totally awesome for this type of establishment and I'd definitely comeback just based on service. The entree that I had was cooked perfectly also Just wished that they were open on one day of week later than normal (until 5 pm maybe) People who are one a tight budget this restaurant would definitely be a great treat for everyone Only draw back in my opinion is "no free refills" on the lemonade Other drawback is that I couldn't tag my posts on Instagram since not everyone follows me on facebook read more

Ambiance was super cute. Arrived right at 9am, and we didn't have a wait to be seated. Small wait to be acknowledged by server, but overall all staff we interacted with were friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. Food was great. The table pancake is a must! The Honey Maple Butter Sauce was so good and the pancake was fluffy with just a hint of lemon. Both my husband and I loved our dishes, and we definitely want to come back to try other items! Payment of bill was easy as we could scan the receipt and pay right at the table without having to wait. read more

Hello All, i want to say this place is a cool, trendy place in Brookfield, WI. I was warned right from the start that it would be a little wait as they just opened 2 weeks ago and not quite prepared for how busy they were. I worked and was seated in the front window bar area. They wait was a little but not ridiculous. The server came and took my order and the order took 45 minutes. Holy slow. I do hope they get it fixed. The. My breakfast came it was really good. I do want to try more. But like i said! The wait i felt like I would not be back. But as my server laid my food down she said the owner is comping my meal. That tells me one thng! The Mangement pays attention to his customers and detals. Very classy move! I will be back and would recommend Waking Daisy! Thanks for the meal. Beat wished on your success!! read more

I had been seeing the coming soon signs up in this store front in the Corners of Brookfield for a while so I was eager to visit them on their first day for breakfast. Nice bright environment inside and they offer outdoor seating as well. Started with a Mimosa that was made well, didn't skimp on the champagne but not overly strong either. Coffee was good although the cup was very small and I was afraid I would need constant refills but my server also brought a carafe for me to refill as needed. A good variety of items in the menu made it difficult to pick an entree however I went with the Classic Benedict and I couldn't resist ordering something called a Daisy Cake as a side. The Benedict was a bit unique as the ham was shred (pulled) and it was piled on, the egg was perfectly cooked for a Benedict, and the Hollandaise had a nice light lemon flavor and an appropriate amount was layered on. My only suggestion would be to toast the English muffin a bit more as it needed a little more structure. The Daisy Cake was just outstanding. If I wasn't going to be able to finish eating everything, I was going to finish that cake. Think of a pancake on steroids that's a little more dense than a pancake with honey butter and maple sauce on top, it was amazing. I highly recommend stopping in and having a meal here. I'm trying the Pastrami Hash and another Daisy Cake on my next visit. They also give you the option of ordering online and paying your bill by scanning a QR code on the table. Shoutout to my server Samantha who was fantastic. read more

Waking Daisy - Korean breakfast bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

This is my new favorite late breakfast spot. Cool cocktails. The food is all scratch made and many dishes like their smoked salmon eggs Benedict are classics with an upgrade. Love the creative garnishes like a bit of caviar, some pickled onions judiciously placed, or micro greens. They currently close at 3 but SOON they will be open for dinner on Fri/Sat. I was there for an event and found the staff competent, friendly and getting the job done! Try the braised beef for dinner over mashed potatoes. Better than grandmas. The beignets were similar to puff pastry bites with a delicious blueberry jam. I tried the eggs, pork belly, Benedict, smashburger, and shrimp scampi. Everything was really top notch. My only complaint was the polenta under the shrimp which was quite stodgy over garlicked (is that a word??) and overcooked. At an event shrimp is not the thing to hold as they go rubbery. But if it was cooked to order I would not be afraid to give that another try. Overall exceptional. Give them a go! Prices are a bit on the high side but not bad considering the quality of the food and experience. read more

Wildly disappointing. 4 eggs at our table order sunny side up and not a drop of runny yoke to be found. Eggs were destroyed, my potato's in my pastrami hash were uncooked and had an awkward consistency. My wife's steak and eggs seemed okay aside from the eggs. She didn't get a steak knife and my toast was too black to enjoy. Atmosphere seemed nice and the place had a good vibe but not sure I will be back. A breakfast place that can't cook eggs is concerning. read more

Went here for Easter brunch. The food was ok, but was cold, food was forgotten on my plate and it was cramped. I watched a cook eat a meal and drink and continue to cook with his mouth full chewing outwardly. This was not worth it and will not recommend. The service fee was ridiculous for a table of 2 with poor service. read more

Everything was excellent. Cute place, nice people and excellent food and drinks Definitely would be back

Great service and really good food! One of the best pancakes I've ever had! My wife ordered an omelette which was delicious while I ordered the chilaquiles, a seasonable item that I highly recommend. My only critique is that my dish was slightly more heavy on the lime flavor. Would definitely come back again! read more

We had a great time at Waking Daisy! The menu is interesting and varied, the decor is adorable and the staff was extremely friendly. I really loved my iced latte; great quality. The omelette was another highlight with really great breakfast potatoes and thick-cut multigrain toast on the side. The Breakfast Bowl was also fantastic. Just the right kick of spice and the chorizo beets were fantastic. Love that they have a variety of vegetarian options. Our young kids didn't love the pancake as much as they expected because it was complex and for a more refined palette, so if your kids want a plain pancake, maybe go for the french toast instead. Very cute. Will definitely be back to try the croissant beignets! read more

I came here on a Sunday - late morning and fully expected for them to have a long wait but thankfully, that wasn't the case. We were greeted right away by the owner and he was fully transparent in saying they were pretty short staffed and the wait would be between 15-20 min. After a short wait, I was seated with a friend and my 4 year old son. Service was great, food was wonderful and I overall had a great experience. My friend got the Korean breakfast bowl, which she loved. I had a customized omelet and my son-a pancake, all wonderful! Highly recommend. read more
