One of my absolute favorite restaurants. The food is superb, I love the old rustic house, the animals, the ever changing specials. The sour dough.... Chefs kiss y'all! read more

It's tough to whisper about this place when my whole family LOVED it! We had a big group, but we heard the food was worth the wait. That was absolutely right! The ambiance was down-to-earth and warm, very family friendly. We had two servers since our group was so big. It was tough to decide what we all wanted to order. I had the honor of getting the very last apple dumpling! That came with thick cut bacon (yum) and raisin bread toast. The bread was no joke - it was dense and delish! The servers were super friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home! Whispering Orchard has officially been added to our go to family breakfast list! I can't wait to try the other items on the menu. read more

Wonderful breakfast options made with local ingredients. I've tried the cranberry bread French toast and the apple filled French toast. Both are delicious. read more

We've been there a few times before And Service has always been excellent, the food was great as usual, and I can't say enough good things about whispering Orchards. read more

This was a fun pit stop on our road trip between Door County and Indianapolis. The location just off the highway couldn't be more ideal. We found the spot on Yelp and it was just the combination our family needed- delicious breakfast and leg stretching outside. The farm is filled with goats, peacocks, llamas and charm. Our waitress was friendly and we enjoyed the barn-like setting of the restaurant with stuffed animals, pine walls, etc. The menu offers some great seasonal dishes like French toast topped with in-season fruit, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed my apple cider grains that had a mix of healthy grains that had been milled on the farm. So hearty and delicious! We were also able to pick up some fabulous farm fresh eggs before checking out to hit the road. The only reason I'm holding off on the fifth star is the propaganda table located in the entryway about anti-vaccinating, politics, etc. we could have done without this... read more

Got in early for breakfast. The waitress was pretty nice and mostly responsive, she did forget to bring some flavored creamer the first time we asked, but other wise good. We sat upstairs and it's always nice up there. Look forward to next time we are in town. read more

Awesome place on an apple orchard & farm. Restaurant is upstairs. Great service. Great French toast. Beautiful, quiet farm. Nice apples, peaches and honey for sale downstairs. Off the beaten path, totally worth it. read more

My wife and I love this little hideaway. The food is always delicious and the service is great. We also love the country store, and farm atmosphere. Last time we went as a date and our kids were disappointed that they missed out on going. However it was perfect for a little quiet time together. read more

They have an unusual menu with great food and large portions. Interesting location the upstairs view is best.

Breakfast was over hyped. The portions are huge. The location is great. The food was just so-so. Thick slab bacon was good. Had the French toast sampler, apple cider oatmeal (not great) and the peach dumpling. Cute little store downstairs but was pretty bare bones when we went. Love the farm animals and apple trees that surround this place though. Customer service was also great. read more

I love this place for breakfast. They make great food but my favorite is the bread pudding. They do cherry, blueberry, rhubarb, & strawberry bread pudding. It comes with 2 eggs, bacon sausage or ham. They have a little animal area with alpacas, goats, a pony and chickens. Weekends are very busy. read more

The food quality swung this to 5 stars! I mean, this is the epitome of farm to table, since the farm is just outside. I could taste the fresh ingredients in everything I ate - and it made the meal wonderful. This hidden gem also features pleasant and friendly service. Jennifer was attentive and ensured we did not want for anything. Ambiance is modest, yet pleasant, with a distinctively back country rustic atmosphere that makes for relaxing dining. I wish I'd found this place sooner. Even though it is off the beaten path, it can be hopping, even on Monday morning. Highly recommend. read more

We had accommodations at the Highland Lodge but since they no longer really serve food (muffins and cereal) we decided to make a quick trip down the road to this cafe for breakfast. Upon arrival the parking lot was packed. As we entered the cafe it seemed quiet for the amount of cars outside. It took a minute to be seated as I realized that most of the guests were seated upstairs and staff was hurrying up and down the stairs to serve them. We were seated downstairs in a small dining area. The food was delicious and was served quickly. Once we were finished up and headed to the front to pay, we went into a small store for purchasing items. We chose some bacon and a peacock feather for our daughter. We also picked up some sea salt chocolates. Everything was wonderful and if we ever visit this area again I would definitely return. I'm sure the place is packed when the orchard is in full bloom. We got to sneak a peak at a couple animals but it was extra chilly out the day we visited. Check out this little gem for sure if you are in town! read more

Awesome food and perhaps the nicest staff in America. For breakfast - this place is a complete dream. The only thing I held a star back for was how long it took for food to arrive after it was ordered - nearly 40 minutes. If you are around Kohler and have the time, this is a must stop. read more

The food is always delicious and bountiful! Homemade coffee cake and their own thick sliced bacon cooked to perfection. The wait staff is always very friendly. Upstairs has a Northwoods ambience. Kids love the decor. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing one of the best breakfast places in Wisconsin!!! read more

This place was quant but perfect. Loved their old style farm chairs and tables. Plus there is an upstairs with lots of sun or the kitchen/main level with that neighborly feel. Food was good too. read more

Charming country atmosphere, wonderful home made food, country store and petting zoo. Worth the drive!

Very nice surprise out in the countryside. Orchard, restaurant with great homemade entrees. Still trying to figure out how to make cinnamon roll pancakes! Yum read more

Staying in Elkhart Lake and came here for breakfast with our kids. Everything was delicious but make sure to get the Apple pancakes and some bacon. The upstairs room is charming and has a view of the Apple trees. Will definitely be back. read more

A hidden gem! Fresh and tasty farm-to-table style breakfast food, with of course lots of apple options. I had the apple pancakes, and my wife had the apple bread French toast. The locally produced bacon was also a hit. Ask for an upstairs table for a nice view of the landscape. read more

The Perfect Embodiment of Farm-to-Table How much more organic can you get when the actual farm that supplies your food is ten steps away from the restaurant you're dining at? At Whispering Orchards you can see the perfect example of how to execute humble brunch in an exemplary manner. Whispering Orchard serves simple food in an unpretentious manner that is simply delicious. In many ways it embodies the best of what Wisconsin has to offer. My Hearty Farmer breakfast started off my morning in a fantastic manner. The bacon was thick, delicious, and substantially better than any thin store bought bacon you could find. The eggs were seasoned properly, a rarity, and the ham demonstrated just how amazing livestock can be when it hasn't been flash frozen. The pancakes, although slightly denser than most, did an amazing job of absorbing Whispering Orchard's delicious syrup. This restaurant provided such a fantastic experience that I literally marched back in the next day. In terms of Sheboygan brunch, there's nothing more that I could recommend. read more

I ran across this place on our way back to Chicago from Greenbay. This joint has the best breakfast. I ordered the raspberry bread French toast and it was incredible! Their espresso lattes are great, too! Must stop by if you're ever in the area. Highly recommended! read more

This place was very disappointing to say the least. Walking in with my girlfriend and her family (of Mexican ethnicity) our group was treated terribly. After waiting an hour and a half to be seated, our group was sat at an unclean and unprepared table. We waited another 20 minutes to be attended to, despite the people around us (of white ethnicity) being attended to within a few minutes. The waitresses would give our group dirty looks and purposely ignore our requests for even the simplest items. When it takes 15 minutes to receive a few packets of creamer, one has to sense that it's intentional. It truly is a shame, as the food was actually good and well worth the price. Bottom line, if you are a POC, do not expect to be treated with respect or decent service in this establishment. read more

Super good pancakes and stuffed French toast. Coffee is so-so. Take a picture of the daily specials board and read them at your table, so you don't stand there like a dope. But get their early! Daily specials run out early on weekends. Admire the seasonally-dressed taxidermy. Feed the goats and lamas, avoid the peacocks, say hi to the Scottish Highland cows. If you like the toast, you can buy a loaf of bread or their local eggs. They have a little shop adjacent where you can pick up apple butter, apple cider and bags of apples. read more

While visiting relatives in Manitowoc, the idea to go out for breakfast on Sunday morning came up on Saturday after the Badgers game. Ann suggested Whispering Orchards. I looked at Yelp to see if there was a George Webb's in Manitowoc (I seem to remember one) but alas, no George. Ann went on to describe Whispering Orchards and it sounded like a great place! (Yelp confirmed her enthusiasm.) On top of it all, we'd be well on our way home since the place is in Sheboygan County, just a couple of clicks this side of the Manitowoc county line and a few clicks from Cleveland. Yes, Cleveland. You could look it up. No swashbucklers, no brownies and no aborigines with bats. If you elect to attempt a Sunday morning breakfast, be prepared to wait but unlike the usual suspects that feature long waits, at Whispering Orchards, there are enough interesting things to keep you occupied, so interesting that you have to pay attention lest you miss your name being called! There's a modified petting zoo, with an emu (I recommend you best not try petting him) along with lots of chickens, baby goats, exotic birds, a cute donkey and a llama. On our visit, there were several very tiny kittens, not afraid to explore or just sun themselves. There's a kid-sized fort made from hay bales and a vending machine that dispenses handfuls of feed that goats will gently eat from your hand. DO NOT MISS THE STORE! Naturally, the feature product is apples, sold by the half bushel, peck and half peck. Of course, an orchard isn't much of an orchard without bees, so honey is a featured product in small squeeze bottles (in the shape of a bear, of course) but also in pints, quarts,half gallons and gallons. In reality, honey is sold by weight, so I'm guessing at the size of the jars. There is also a huge, stainless steel tank and you can bring your own container and fill your own container with honey for less than five bucks a pound. You'll also find jams and jellies (I'm not adventuresome enough to try tomato jam. Seriously, tomato jam.) There are also several varieties of canned fruits and veggies, including pickled asparagus, hot pickled eggs, peaches and several other items. I suspect the availability changes. There is a wide selection of wines, apple cider (no, not apple jack) and a wide variety of gift items. When your name is finally called, you'll be ushered into a tiny dining room downstairs or a larger room upstairs. (No elevator, so tell them if you can't do stairs.) The dining room upstairs includes several stuffed animals including (but not limited to) a turkey, weasel, bobcat, badger, porcupine, beaver, prairie dog, deer and a bear that is mounted as if he's picking apples. Some of the animals are dressed for Christmas over the holidays but nothing scary at Halloween time. Speaking of Halloween, if you visit in the fall (as I did) you'll find hundreds of pumpkins to choose from. Back to the restaurant - come hungry! Eggs are fresh (you can't get much fresher than right on the farm) so there's a selection of omelets and egg dishes. You can order flapjacks by the short stack or stack, including apple pancakes (of course.) Add bacon, sausage or ham to your breakfast for a nominal addition. I opted for French toast, well soaked with fresh eggs. Maple syrup is on the table for you. If I lived in Cleveland, or even Sheboygan or Manitowoc, I fear I would be 15 pounds heavier from eating at the Whispering Orchards Cafe. It's over an hour from my home in the Milwaukee area, but I will be back, if for no other reason than to buy fresh eggs, jams, apples and (drum roll, please) honey. Note to my 414 friends - I'm telling you, make the drive to Whispering Orchards. You'll thank me later. read more

Never had a bad meal ever in 8 years. Might have to wait to get a table, but well worth the wait. Everything you eat here is from the farm or local farms. Eggs are fresh from the coop read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, kind staff. Bring quarters so you can feed the goats!

Loved it!! A working farm and orchard with huge portions for breakfast. Located somewhere near the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and worth every mile to get there. Highly recommended by the Elkhart Lake locals and we agree. read more

Fantastic farm and breakfast nook! Amazing French toast. Wonderful farm market. And extremely sweet owners and staff. Try their combo plates and go with the bacon. The binder was my wife's fav.

Whispering Orchards - Entrance from MM. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Wisconsin

This local, family owned establishment is so great! From the restaurant to the store and the hobby farm, it's awesome and a great place to enjoy brunch with family! They offer many fun and unique brunch options and even Apple Cider Mimosas!! Oh yum!! The Zucchini Bread French Toast on the specials menu was phenomenal! The sausage was yummy and oh man the Bacon!! It's so thick and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Oh. So. Yum! The taxidermy is fun to look at upstairs. There's an upstairs and downstairs area to eat, but we ate upstairs both times. The store has some fun things to buy. I bought a child's size knitted hat, because I have such a SMALL head. We also got a caramel and peanut candy apple which was good, a frozen apple pie-not so good, and a bag of Pala Red Apples-yum! They're the perfect combo of sweet and slightly tart! The hobby farm is by far my favorite part of Whispering Orchard and specifically the Donkey, Pedro! He is the most sweet and docile Donkey! I could just play and cuddle with him all day! I want heem!! read more

Just took my wife out here for breakfast. Still as good as it can get. Wonderful omelet and everything else, very friendly and attentive waitress. For people who complain that the place is too crowded and slow, this is the time of the year to patronize this wonderful restaurant. There were only two other couples when we were there. Their business is pretty slow these days; but they are keeping their normal hours until February, when they will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. A nice ride in the country leads you to this destination restaurant. Free range eggs and premium ingredients make this the best breakfast in the area. read more

Great hidden gem out in the countryside. The breakfast was very good. We enjoyed walking around the property for the views of the land and their goats that your could feel for a quarter or two. Along with goats they have some cows, sheep chickens and even an emu to see! We look forward to visiting again and buying some produce from their little store. read more

Great atmosphere and good food. It takes a while to get your food but it's worth it. My kids also liked it and really enjoyed being able to see the animals outside, even though it's winter. Nice restaurant that I'd recommend. read more

Truly farm to table experience! As fresh as you can get it. The pancakes and French toast are the winners with yummy toppings like strawberry rhubarb, apple or strawberry & cream. The bread is homemade and the apple cider jam is delicious. The prices are fair and the customer service is great. It was worth the visit! read more

This place is special. Homeade food, fresh apples and eggs, cute farm animals outside to visit and set in an apple orchard. There is nothing like this around anymore and it's worth a visit. Really friendly staff and delicious food. Set in a country setting, this place screams charm. Visit and take some treats to go, you won't regret it. read more

This is an extremely solid breakfast stop. It's even better for the family as small kids (and grown ones too) can visit and feed the goats, alpacas, rabbits and chickens after eating. My eggs were farm fresh with deep yokes and a creamy taste. The sausage, bacon, and jelly were also excellent. There is a shop in back where you can buy other goodies. We got some local mustard. Definitely a great restaurant, even if you don't feed the animals. read more

Stopped in for my 2nd time today. It is a cozy destination for breakfast or brunch. The staff is incredibly friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Today was really busy with the Sunday church crowd so the food took a while to come out.. probably close to an hour. Food wasn't as hot as we wanted either but i am overlooking that because it is so tasty! Can't wait to come back when my farm friends are outside! The eggs are amazingly fresh The toast is deliciously thick The cheese is rich The hash browns are done just right read more

This is my absolutely favorite breakfast place in Sheboygan County! Their breakfasts cannot be beat. Everything is made from scratch, including the several choices of bread (rye, whole-wheat, raisin), They also offer great treats along with large breakfasts, such as a homemade apple dumpling, or homemade coffee cakes of various types, such as blueberry, cherry... In the fall, they also sell apples and other homemade jams & jellies! So check it out soon! read more

Great food at an amazing price. My girlfriend and I took friends and family from out of town to this fine establishment and we were all impressed. Bring an appetite! It's a shame you can't feed or pet the animals anymore but we know it's not their fault. Hope that comes back but the kids still had fun looking at them from afar. Can't wait to go back read more
