Tasty food and customer focused. Usually a quiet atmosphere allowing for conversation. A great place to meet a friend for lunch.

Went to get a mocha and do a little work. Mocha was ok, but I didn't know they closed at 3. Instead of telling me they where closing they shut off the WiFi and gave me dirty looks until I figured it out. Would be l not recommend.

Hate to be the bad guy here as I ate here a couple months ago and the food was outstanding. Today I traveled 2 hours to have lunch here. Checked hours with google and yelp... open until 4. When we got there at 2:45 the sign outside said closes at 3 but when we entered we were told the kitchen closed at 230. So sad. Traveled from Chicago..... won't do that again. Didn't know how many stars to give for our disappointment.

The place is nice, food no really impressed, coffee a little bitter for me and one of the ladies of the staff, she looks that was having a bad day.They have a sing something like “Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” I hope that lady can resolve her personal battle and feels better soon, because was easy to feel her energy.

Daughter ordered a oat milk latte, heard the barista say "I think this is sketch " as she opened the oat milk - and made the latte anyway was aweful, could not be drunk. My Americano was fine, and I did like the tea biscuit I had.

Everything was wonderful - food, staff and atmosphere. The paninis and wraps were very fresh and full of flavor.

I loved this place! The food was unique without being too weird and was delicious. I loved that they had homemade lemon meringue pie as it’s a favorite of mine. The staff at was friendly and the service was quick. I loved the atmosphere. It made for a perfect cute romantic lunch. I wish I lived closer so I visit there frequently.

A much more extensive menu then I expected - the half/half options were fantastic: pretty much any half sandwich or salad paired with any other half or side. The cubana and mango chicken paininis were great, very crispy, and the Greek salad with pickled beets was very refreshing.Also, the rhubarb pie was a delight - sour, and perfect. Life is short - eat the pie!Parking: Street parking is available for several blocks.Wheelchair accessibility: Limited, but it looks like a few tables could be ADA compliant.

Stopped here for lunch today. I really enjoyed the ambiance, colorful, quaint cafe like you'd find in Havana, but with mostly Wisconsin food. Service was super friendly and efficient. I had half the house grilled cheese and half Greek salad. Both were very nummy. Enjoyed the beets in the salad. Hubby had the Asian wrap and kettle chips. Said it was good, with fresh ingredients. Personally, I wanted something with Wisconsin cheese. Definitely recommend this spot.

The Cook's room is my go to place for lunch. The food is fresh and very tasty. Try the Cubano, mmmm good. The staff is always friendly and I feel well taken care of. It has a small, intimate, cozy feeling and I highly recommend this gem for coffee, dessert and lunch!.
