Turkey  The Gobbler
Mikayla T.

10/10 times I would travel the 25 minutes to Brookfield just to get a table pancake... and the seasonal compote on top just adds to the rich Johnny cakes! Service was fast, whole place was super clean, waitresses were on top of things and very nice. I also got a seasonal sandwich with friends- I do wish I would have tried another breakfast option. It was hard for me to find an option that was what I was wanting. Overall, Waking Daisy is such a fun concept and the perfect place to stop for brunch.

I really had high hopes for this place. It's in a great location and the menu looked intriguing. Staff was attentive and friendly, which is always a bonus these days! Anodyne coffee was a hard pass as I find it bitter and could not drink it. My dining companion and I decided to try a starter of a daisy cake. It was sour and not edible! Unfortunately, things just went downhill from there when I received a COLD plate of eggs Benedict! The only time I look for cold eggs is when it's egg salad. Well, I gave it a shot, but I will not be back. The only thing I enjoyed were the potatoes.

Early Bird Burrito

We decided to give Waking Daisy another try after a few months, but unfortunately, the service was just as disappointing. It was early on a Saturday and the restaurant wasn't too busy yet we waited about 15 minutes before being greeted. Other nearby tables were seated after us and already receiving drinks by their server. We sat outside and our table was also crooked, making it tricky with the water carafe. The food was great, but after experiencing poor service twice now, it's hard to overlook.

My husband and I went to Waking Daisy for brunch on a Sunday. When we arrived, there were a lot of people in the restaurant but we were able to get a table. I love getting quality ingredients at farm to fork restaurants. I had the biscuits and gravy which came with eggs, mixed greens, and potatoes. My husband got the strawberry French toast. Our food was really good we had a great time. I highly recommend Waking Daisy!

Yum!
Christina S.

We went on a Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait much for a seat. It was very busy but they were turning tables over quickly. We had the Daisy pancake and wow was it good! So fluffy, yet thick, dense and delicious! Can't wait to go back for another. I had the turkey sandwich and my friend had the smash burger. Both were very good! I can't wait to come back for more brunch items!

Mediterranean Harvest Bowl, Potatoes, Daisy Cake
Suha M.

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.

Crispy Cod Sandwich
Mike V.

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.

Chai Latte
Scott W.

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.

Pastrami hash
Julie P.

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.

Classic Benedict
Natalie R.

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!

Crab Cake Benedict
Elaine W.

This week I visited Waking Daisy for the fourth time this summer. There's a reason for that! This place is excellent! Very bright and cheery decor, friendly staff, and excellent service. My meal this week was wonderful - the BEST Crab-cake Benedict I've ever tasted!! Delicious crab with the correct ratio to breadcrumb, expertly poached eggs, bright green and fresh sautéed spinach on a perfectly toasted English muffin, and a glorious hollandaise sauce that was light and bright with lemon. This was served with delicious, garlicky roasted potatoes and a lovely green salad tossed with a light, citrusy vinaigrette. The coffee is outstanding - served in a carafe to the table which I really appreciate. Waking Daisy is perfect spot for families and brunch with friend or any occasion. Parking is plentiful and close.

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!

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

GF didn't even want to get out of CAR. Can you believe it? If she had then I might've had some assistance and what kind of custard to get but I panicked and felt went out. You can't go wrong with the original so I just went with original vanilla but there was something else that intrigued me and now I will never know. Not to say the original vanilla wasn't absolutely fantastic and completely worth it. Creamy, not too sweet but just sweet enough. Very affordable and worth every fucking penny. I would put my face in it but I don't know how that would go for my skin.

Nothing Bundt Cakes saved my party planning life recently…read more Ok, maybe an overstatement, but they really did come in clutch! I was planning a dinner birthday party for eight and had ordered a pie from another business. I remembered their pies to be large but when I got it, it was smaller than I had remembered and I suddenly was concerned that it wasn't going to be enough for folks to be able to enjoy without having to get only a small sliver. The birthday guy loves all things citrus so my plan was to get a sad grocery store lemon meringue pie to help cover my bases. I was in Brookfield picking up party supplies when I saw Nothing Bundt Cakes and remembered they have an incredible lemon bundt cake. I dropped by without a lot of hope that they'd have one I could pick up on such short notice, but they did! They have multiple sizes from bundtinis that are just a bite or two to their Big Bundt that serves 18. I went for their 'the bundt' size which reportedly serves 8. It was a perfect supplement and most folks at the party couldn't pick between the pie and the cake and chose a small sliver of each and were equally wowed by both! Their cakes are flavorful and moist and just some of the tastiest cakes around without being overwhelmed by frosting. The prices aren't bad. For the size I got, it was 32ish dollars (which I'd paid $40 for the pie, so that felt reasonable!). They have a cute little shop that's neat as a pin and service was lovely as well. Get to it!
