Maybe some of the best (sandwich) bread I've had. The sandwich's we tried were the Noreaster and the Neptuna. Both of the sandwiches were good, but the bread they were served on was the real winner. Also had some type of potato soup that was only okay. Had to try a couple of desserts too! Both were pretty good, my favorite was some type of bread with strawberries. Don't remember the name, but it was a very unique banana breadlike dessert, only made with strawberries. Very cool vibes in the restaurant, surfer themed! Outdoor seating on the river is nice too. read more

Try Cleopatra Latte! It tasted so good---between sweet and bitter flavors. Sitting outside by the marina with a cup of coffee is the perfect afternoon stop. The atmosphere is a great vibe with lots of character. The baristas are ok. read more

First time here. We were staying at the American Club for the weekend and asked around for a good coffee shop in Sheboygan. This place was recommended, so we decided to give it a try on a cold Saturday morning. Food: We ordered a couple of lattes and some breakfast. For drinks, it was one Vanilla Latte and one London Fog Tea Latte. We asked for mugs, but they were served in glasses instead. Not quite the same, but acceptable. Both drinks were made well, with good texture, nice flavor, and the right temperature. For food, we ordered one Veggie Quiche and a piece of Spanakopita. After they were reheated properly (see Service below), both were very good. I had the Spanakopita, and it was loaded with spinach and feta. The dough-to-filling ratio was excellent. The flavors were rich and complex. The portion size was large, larger than my appetite, but I somehow managed to keep working on it until I was completely stuffed. Service: The service around the food was disappointing. Even though we were clearly dining in, our order was marked as takeout. This created a number of issues. When the food arrived in takeout containers, I mentioned that we were eating inside (especially obvious since our drinks were in glasses). The server simply shrugged and said, "Oh well, they are marked as takeout." I went to the counter and asked for plates and that the food be brought to the proper temperature. It took a while, but they eventually returned with the food reheated, served on plates, and replaced the plastic utensils with metal ones. There was very little acknowledgment that a mistake had been made, and no real apology for the delays. Atmosphere: The place is rustic and right on the water. It reminded me of a fish shanty, in a charming way. There are a couple of different rooms for seating, and we chose one in the back that was quieter. I liked the authentic feel of it. However, there were some areas with old furniture piled up for storage, which took away a bit from the overall look. They also have an outdoor patio that overlooks the river, which would be a lovely spot to sit on a warm day. We would go back. If we ordered food again, I would just make sure they clearly understood from the start that we were dining in so the details were handled correctly. read more

My fav go to place in a warm & inviting quaint & cozy setting with amazing riverfront views. And that's just the setting! The staff, the beverages & the food are all superb! Love going alone to bask in the sun outside & read a book over hot lemon tea. Or grab a table inside with friends to catch up on life over a coffee drink & a delicious muffin or an iced beverage & a sandwich or perhaps a slice of quiche! Stop supporting the big corporate coffee houses...support local gems like this in hometown Sheboygan! It will become your go to place too! read more

We enjoyed lunch at the Weather Cafe on the Sunday during Labor Day weekend. It was pretty busy and the wait time was pretty long (20 mins or more). Not sure if that is the norm or if it was because it was a holiday weekend and many other businesses were closed. We all enjoyed our meals. I especially liked the chicken curry wrap. You could tell all the food is made fresh. They have tables inside and outside. There are tables outside by the canal and some around the side of the building. We picked a table outside on the side, but a bee kept on trying to land on my sister's smoothie so we ended up eating and running. read more

I love the many bakery choices, especially the Granny Apple muffins with cream cheese frosting. Their coffee drinks are always made the right way and are delicious. I also like their location for a walk along the river after a good meal! The staff is very friendly. read more

I recently visited here with my dad for lunch. The space is a rustic fishing shack with little superfluous decor. There are two interior dining rooms and external patio seating. The menu provides options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. On the day we went we entered during a lull and shortly after we ordered they got a big line of people. Alas, this made for exceedingly slow food delivery for two sandwiches and some nachos. The food did taste great, however. read more

If you are looking for a morning pick-me-up this is the place to get it at! The "Rob Machado" has become a personal favorite while in town; mixing together some of the best flavors in coffee. And do not be fooled by the small kitchen, if you have an appetite it is worth a try. They manage to make the bottom of their muffin arguably as good as the top. To top it off, after needing a 2nd cup the following day, I forgot to have my stamp card stamped and the barista gave me no hassle at all when i went back in. I will be back time and time again! The only thing I wish was different was on their breakfast burrito. It tasted good, and it filled me up; but it was a loose roll. read more

We recently visited Sheboygan for the first time and this place came up in search. It's a cool spot right by the river, but the food is not great. The baked goods looked OK, but I got the breakfast burrito and it was basically flavorless, which, OK, but then pico came on the side. ZERO spice. And my gf got the quiche, which she ate a bite of and noped. All our food was served in styrofoam with plastic utensils, even though we were eating inside. Which sucks. Finally, although they weren't busy at all and the people behind the counter were kind of standing around, the bathroom was crazy gross. Straight up sh*t splatted all over the toilet seat. The extra star is b/c they were nice. Always a plus, but it can't be the only thing. NOPE! read more

Service was quick. We went during COVID and employees were not wearing masks but seating is reatricted to outside only. I understand we're all in different places in staying safe, but as a business, you should cater to all customers and error on the side of safety. The food menu is limited. No kids menu and nothing really for a typical kid to eat. As a result my kids went down to Parker Johns and I are at The Weather Center. After reading reviews and browsing the menu, I ordered the full salad for $10. I was expecting to be wow'd but instead was left feeling ho-hum...nothing special about the salad and a little jipped on how much I paid for it. read more

Good amount of vegan food options. A bit of an eclectic vibe exists (in a good way). OK outside seating options. More 'rustic', less inviting on the inside. A bit of a hidden, near miss location and somewhat limited opening hours. But defiantly worth a visit. read more

Very nice cafe and sandwich shop in an awesome location on the river. I almost gave it a fourth star just for the nice ambience. It has a retro fishing port shanty decor to it. Nice seating area along the docks in front. Fresh and tasty food. Ordering is done at the counter and then you find yourself a table. Very pleasant service, large portions (I should only have ordered a half sandwich), and delicious food. read more

The building may not look like much in fact you may miss this place completely. Those that do find Weather Center are in for a treat! An old nautical theme is the environment where you will find unique hot beverages. Try the honey breeze! The food is local as much as possible and the sizes are perfect. Service is warm and personal. read more

Came here during a day trip adventure for a little waterfront lunch. They have a quirky, fun ambiance inside and a beautiful waterfront patio with outdoor seating outside. It's an order at the counter and they'll bring your meal to you sort of set up. I ordered the Noreaster, which is a sandwich that consists of turkey, tomato, red onion, greens, and bleu cheese. It sounded dynamite. But, in reality was a solid a-ok. The star of the show, however, are their espresso drinks. I got an iced mocha. It was rich, whipped cream topped indulgence in a glass. I loved every sip. I waffled between 3 and 4 stars on this one. But, the patio (picturesque), mocha, and friendly service demanded fandom. Get to it! read more

Fine little cafe. Has seating on the water. As travelers on the road wanted a spot on the water w a great place to hang with our dog. They had a nice veggie burger (vegan) and good coffee. Enjoyed this spot and would come back if I found myself here again! Very low key chill vibe!! read more

Good food - sandwiches and salads in particular, but be prepared to wait! The line moves pretty slow and then the food takes a while to come out (as it's being made from scratch). If it was a little faster, particularly to place the order, I'd come more often. read more

Amazing place with a soul. Seating indoor is rustic but friendly and original. Outdoor seating along the river on the boardwalk is amazing when it's sunny and not too windy. The coffee drinks are rich and done with care with a classic percolator espresso machine. The smoothies are made to order with real fruits and taste like at home, and the pastries are generous in size and the best in town! (Muffins are just amazing: Salted-Caramel, Expresso-Chocolat, and the classic Blueberry). For a quick bite at lunch, the revisited Southwestern Chicken Quesadilla is one of my favorites, with its home-made cumin-flavored sour cream side, that if complemented with a dash of Tapatio Hot Sauce will make everything on the plate so addictive! The place feels like a small-town neighborhood cafe - charming and a bit quirky - where locals often meet to chat about anything and everything. The proud and complete opposite of your ubiquitous corporate coffee powerhouse! A gem! read more

There's truly something special about the Weather Center Cafe. It combines charm and ambiance, great local food, and the relaxation of Sheboygan's harbor into a very appealing adventure. What a locally-owned treasure! I visited Sheboygan with a friend who formerly lived in the area and for him the trip was nostalgic. He remembered the Weather Center's homemade Granny Smith apple muffins - and a few decades later they still make them. The staff told him they were sold out for the day, adding "you have to get here really early for those." Regardless there was an impressive array of mile-high quiche, spanakopita, baklava and other baked goods available. We were there at lunchtime, so I ordered the Southwestern Chicken Quesadilla and he got the Typhoon, a burrito with beans, onion, tomatoes and cheddar adding in avocado and black olives for good measure. It's always fun to sample and share. My quesadilla was a healthy portion of chicken, pico, melted cheddar cheese, red onion and red pepper. The tortilla it was wrapped in was crisply toasted, perfect. It had a side of pico, sour cream and lemony tortilla chips that were to die for. The burrito delivered on its promise. It was loaded with beans and rich and cheesy. The avocado blended well. We didn't notice any black olives but we may have missed them. There were other items - sandwiches on freshly-baked French bread that other patrons raved over, salads, coffee drinks and smoothies, in a fun-themed menu that named side items "debris". The nachos on the "debris" menu could had fed a family of four, they were enormous! We sat outside and watched the numerous charter fishing boats glide in and out of the harbor with customers. The water was entrancing, mesmerizing and relaxing. We would have stayed longer but the weather darkened a bit so we headed for indoor space. For me it was a great introduction to an awesome place. He was happy to see something so great from his past is thriving today! read more

Atmosphere was sort of weird, like it had just opened. The coffee was amazing and my husband had the best banana shake he'd ever had.

Excellent coffee beans. The baked goods are delicious. Macaroon are moist and the best. The staff is super friendly and usually remember my order. Cozy, warm atmosphere with patio space n the river. Nice views. read more

I asked for an egg and cheese sandwich and they gave me a very hard time about this. All but one girl on the floor gave me they we don't do this, even after I paid over 4 dollars for the sandwhich on a bagel that they don't do. I told them I will not be coming back so this is the last time they will have to make it. Terribly rude and if I hadn't already paid I would have left right there and then! If you don't like what they have on the menu they refuse to accomodate. Watch out for this 'cafe'. read more

This coffee shop has great coffee and pastries. We get take out from here when we stay at the Blue Harbor across the street. I ordered their bread pudding and it was not only a huge portion but it was amazingly good and fresh. I also tried their Mexican Mocha coffee and it came topped with a cinnamon stick and whipped cream. It also had a hint of a subtle pepper that I found had great taste all together. read more

Everything there is made from scratch. The bakery is so fresh and delicious. The salads, soups, and sandwiches are delicious and filling. The interior is cozy and unique, with a nautical theme.

I've been coming here for many years and everything is consistent and fantastic. I highly recommend you try this place. read more

Bland stuff. I got the banana smoothie which tasted like banana milk and was the texture of it too. Their cheesy scone was hard and not edible without tons of butter and asking them to reheat it multiple times... the best thing was the milk and honey drink with spices on top! I wouldn't return based on my experience though. read more

Probably my favorite cafe/restaurant anywhere ever! I have to stop every time I'm anywhere near my hometown. The food is always excellent with fresh ingredients. I usually get the Half sandwich and cup of soup when it's cold out, or a fiesta wrap and a Rainbow Delight smoothie in the warmer months. I've never had a better smoothie, and anyone I introduce to a Weather Center smoothie agrees. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is just right for the Sheboygan Boardwalk (though I'd say the Weather Center pretty much defines the boardwalk). The only negatives I could possibly think of is that sometimes Alterra Coffee is a bit on the strong side for me (to others this is usually a good thing!), and I've had an extended wait for my meal probably once every 7 or so visits, but those times are usually quite busy, and I can forgive a wait for fresh food. Also I don't mind waiting in a place as nice and comfortable as the Weather Center. Definitely check it out if you like fresh natural food, delicious pastries, smoothies, real coffee, and a warm environment! read more

Had a morning coffee and a muffin. Everything tasted good and was adequately priced. Decided to get a couple things for later and they put all of my items in one big paper bag with no protection or way to keep anything separated, and of course when I got back to the room and looked in my bag I saw squished pastries everywhere jumbled together. They need to invest in boxes or some sort of contraptions to help keep muffins apart and in one piece. If you are eating at the place it's very good just not a good place to take stuff with you read more

Love visiting here every time I am back in Sheboygan. Memories of my younger years and my father's friends linger around. The coffee is good and so are the teas.

I got a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito which took an abnormally long time to receive. When I did finally receive my order it was incorrect and it wasn't even worth it to go back and have it fixed if it meant waiting another 30 ish minutes. It wasn't even very busy. Just one other couple in line ahead of us. read more

This is a great place to get a healthy meal. I agree that the place is shabby chic. They might want to do a sprucing up one of these days. Other than that, I have enjoyed everything I have eaten there. All the food is prepared fresh, with good ingredients. I've had sandwiches and soup, it's all good. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. You order at the counter and they bring your meal to you. They lost my fifth star because they seem to struggle serving hot food. More often that not the coffee is luke warm; and the soups tepid. But the food is worth the trip. Outside seating along the Sheboygan River is an added plus. read more

I am writing this review in hopes that the restaurant will improve. I used to live in Sheboygan 15 yrs ago and this was my favorite spot to get a coffee and/or a sandwich. Excellent location and granola crunchy type cafe. I was there yesterday and I have to say I was so disappointed in my neptune sandwich. There was hardly anything on it. the layer of tuna was so thin along with the fixings. the bread is delicious and homemade but they skimped on the ingredients. my boyfriend's nor'easter was the same way- not enough Turkey and other stuff. we asked for chips to go with our sandwich. the guy at the counter didn't tell us that they don't have potato chips. they make their own chips but he failed to tell us that one order would suffice for 3 people. we received 3 huge styrofoam boxes full of chips. completely unnecessary and what's with the styro foam? you are so careful about recycling other stuff? i would only go again for coffee and bakery. I would not go for their sandwiches anymore. read more

You haven't lived until you've tried a rainbow smoothie. Sadly since this place is in Sheboygan the vast majority of the world will never live. My aunt lives in Sheboygan, as did her two daughters who have since moved away but still had their weddings here. I've been to Sheboygan three times now and every time I absolutely have to stop by the Weather Center. The food here is pretty good. Lots of vegetarian options. I've had a few sandwiches from here and some of the pastries and I have never been disappointed. Everything is great and worth trying. But what they do better than anyone else are smoothies. Well scratch that. The rainbow smoothie. I've never tried any other flavor because this one is just so good. The consistency. The flavor. I could live off of this smoothie. I just want to put on a wetsuit and snorkel and dive into a pool full of rainbow smoothie and drink until I explode (well hopefully I'll have the wherewithal to stop before then...but I'm not sure if I trust myself). So if you live in or near Sheboygan and have tried the rainbow smoothie yet...what is wrong with you? Get over there! And if you're ever in town then head over to the weather center and order that smoothie. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ate here with the daughter last weekend. She had the Neptuna which was amazing. Next time we go there I'll have the Neptuna. Every time I go there I'll have the Neptuna! We ate outside as well. Great food in a great environment. We did t have dessert but the bread pudding looked fabulous. read more
