“Such a better alternative to your chain coffee shop. Birch n Banyan also has a rewards program and I just scored a free specialty drink! The service is impeccable, always kind, professional, and never pushy. The place is beautiful with delicious coffee and food-there are options of both healthy and indulgent!Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, sugar restriction, conscious eater.“
“Amazing food amazing staff amazing everything! Always so welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. The bakery is to die for. I just can't get enough. Always willing to explain what all the different bakery options they have! Each week it's something different and fresh! LOVE IT! Had a breakfast sandwich today and it just melted in my mouth! So yummy! It even came with fruit! Highly recommend to everyone to stop in for some fresh yummy food!“
“First time at the Hartbrook Cafe in a few years, after I left I told myself I won't wait as long between visits! The portions are generous and the staff was very friendly - I ordered a thick piece of French Toast and a side of sausage links, it was fantastic :)“
“The food was delicious, but it is a little overpriced... I'm sorry, but $17 plus tax for a breakfast sandwich is just too much for me.They have some lovely, albeit pricey pastries... But as the woman told us, they change constantly so they can't put prices on them... It makes it very difficult to figure out what to order.The young lady who took care of us was very competent and knowledgeable and pleasant, but again, she had to deal with us asking about prices, not a good situation. It really kind of irritated us.Oh, I should mention that we went at lunch time but ordered the breakfast sandwich.“
“I love everything about this location and coffee shop. They have a nice outdoor space to relax and drink a delicious cup of coffee (or plenty of non coffee drinks). It's a good space for kids. They are always quick with service as well. My favorite drink is the Ugg boot. Their seasonal cold brews are also always great! My must have is the sausage breakfast sandwich. Whatever their secret sauce is hits the spot. We have to go here at least once a month to satisfy the craving!“
“We ate at Gondola for the first time on Saturday night. The food was excellent! I love Italian food and this chef hit it out of the ballpark! My beet salad was scrumptious and my gorgonzola gnocchi with prosciutto was phenomenal! We will definitely be back. It's so nice to have a restaurant in Lake Country with gourmet level food. There aren't a lot of them.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Love this local coffee spot. I can't believe how inexpensive their pour over is. Great they use Valentine beans as well. I've had some of the muffins that were delicious also the breakfast sandwich. The staff are typically pretty friendly but understand being busy. Go to spot since it's close to where I stay when visiting. outdoor seating is alright, booths inside are comfy but limited overall space. More of a grab and go spot for me.“
“Actually can not coplain. It would have 5 stars all the way other than having to wait for the second coffee on the order and when they announced my name I went up to pick it up and it was so strong I couldn't drink it. It was ordered as mild.However the Cuban sandwich was delicious ?.“
“Absolutely love this place! The play area is fantastic – it's my top choice for meetups in bad weather or when I need to tire out my kiddo. The coffee area is not only clean but also chic, and there's plenty of seating available. A reliable go-to spot for sure!Kid-friendliness: Perfect place for kiddos!“
“What a cute place serving breakfast, lunch and coffee! Great coffee, delicious sandwiches, and fabulous service. I loved the chicken pesto sandwich! I will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Egg dishes, granolas, vegie sandwichesDietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are available“
“Wandered into this gem today looking for a coffee and muffin. Was cheerefully greeted and made feel welcome immediately. I ordered a simple black coffee and blueberry muffin. The coffee was amazing and roasted to absolute perfection. The blueberry muffin was life altering though. The top/crown had just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. The blueberries had a perfect balance of sweet and tartness. It was so dense yet airy and flavorful. This thing should be on everyone's bucket list. It's that good! Here's the kicker though, they have other homemade pastries and sandwiches as well. I mean this place is a little piece of heaven! The only thing I'd would recommend is to order more than one so your not overcome with sorrow when it's gone. 10 out of 5 stars!!!“
“It was a bit loud, though it was later in the day before closing. But it was still really nice to sit there in the sunlight and draw. I enjoyed one of their seasonal drinks, it was like a dirty chai and it was delicious it made me wished I ordered a large.“
“The barista's here are so nice and friendly! I always ask for their suggestions with drinks and they never fail to come up with something tasty. They remember me when I come and and it makes me feel seen. I love that there are bagels right next door it is like a two in one. I love this coffee shop and the ambiance is so great! I will be coming back again and again.“
“Decided to stop in to do a little work while eating, instead of going to Panera or some other big chain. The staff were nice, though obviously young and a little slower in responding to needs during a lunch rush. The food was fine - the selection is fair for a cafe, but nothing to write much about. It reminded me of school lunch - maybe I'll give it another shot someday since I seem to be in the minority in this experience. The mocha blend shake, on the other hand, made up for the meh welcome. The space is clean and there is a good amount of seating. The parking lot is a nice option in the busy area, and makes it convenient to come in. They have a nice sun room you can sit in to enjoy the Pewaukee lake view, but you are only allowed to be there for an hour...so don't plan to be able to stick around for long. I wonder how the knitting group gets around that rule...“
“While the food here is very good, the employees are extremely cold to customers unless you're a regular. I ordered some food and a drink, and the barista wasn't very friendly. Pretty disappointed in that, cuz again, the food is really good!“
“When we went this afternoon, my brother got a smoothie. I got hot chocolate they were both good the staff are nice and willing to wait for your decision. Keep up the good work we will need back.Kid-friendliness: Both me and my brother are teens, but when we entered, we saw little kids enjoying the muffin and drink they got with a smile on their face.“
“I am one to love a good coffee, but I usually have to have a breakfast sandwich or some kind of snack to go along with it. Biggby has the absolute best breakfast sandwiches!! I will drive here just to get a breakfast sandwich and a coffee on the side??? (The coffee is amazing too!)“
“I was having THE WORST morning today. woke up late. Toddler being a toddler. I was finally on my way to work and decided I needed caffeine to get me through the day! get to the window and realize my wallet is not with me, apologized profusely and asked the barista in the drive thru to cancel my order. She let me have have my coffee anyways ? bless her soul for giving me life this morning. Seriously, thank you so much to the nicest gal in the window around 7:45 this morning. you did not need to do that but I'm so incredibly grateful you did! I'll be paying it forward big time at my next visit! ?“
“It is a nice quiet place to enjoy your coffee and people-watch. The staff is great. The baristas know what they are doing and make the drink the way you want to perfection.Good selection of various sundries to buy.Do not expect a lot of seating, though. It looks to me that they took a lot of seats out of the store. I have no idea why. But at least there is seating. A sad thing for me is that so many Starbucks now are standing room only.“
“Shout out to Candy the barista. You don't know this but I went to the wrong Starbucks twice this morning and when I got to you I was late picking up my order but my coffee was still hot and you were so nice and chipper and I really appreciated just the gesture of being kind. I hope you have a really amazing day. I really am thankful you turned my morning around very quickly and I am very appreciative“
“I’ve been going to this starbucks for a few years and pretty much all the time have a wonderful experience. I go so much that I got to know Travis and Emily and sometimes they even know my order! They always ask how my day is or any plans for the day.. Makes me feel very appreciated.“
“We lucked out when our local 'favorite' coffee shop wasn't able to serve food this morning. We now have another favorite to add to our list! We didn't ask from where their coffee was sourced, but it was some of the best we've ever had. I've always preferred plenty of cream in mine, but it smelled so good I drank it all without much cream at all!! What a great 'find!' The people, coffee, food, atmosphere all made this place a must go-to in the future. All this & yet they top it off with kind, fully capable staff that includes people with all abilities. Can't wait to go back!Parking: Right in front of the coffee shop.“
