I have learned that it is worth timing our drive from the Twin Cities to Lake Geneva, WI just so we catch open hour here. The fresh baked goods case is a show stopper! The coffee is very fresh – made with premium organic coffee beans. The environment was friendly, clean, pleasant, yet lively with customers and local conversation. The customer service, décor, and bright interior fit the spot.
It’s the food that is totally exceptional. We had a chance to meet the day’s baker and tell her thank you. My fruit scone – and I am a total scone nerd – was one of the best that I’ve ever had in three countries. The lemon frosted pound cake with a nice touch of grated lemon was moist and superb with all the taste you want in a pound cake.
We had the pulled pork sandwich on their homemade bread – again excellent! They are generous with the meat portion. The most amazing for me was the fresh daily garden salad. Filled with bacon, egg, avocado, sprouts, marinated peppers, and other garden vegies – it was so fresh one would think that you saw them pick the ingredients from the garden! It was served with a poppy seed dressing that was a perfect complement to the other flavors.
They source local organic milk and other ingredients from organic farmers in the area. I like that.
Wi-Fi is available and several folks inside and out were using it. Very reasonable prices. The scone was worth twice the price. The Almond & Oat Jam bars are gluten free – I don’t know how anyone enjoying the fragrance of them baking can resist one. Limited parking on the lot, but we had no problem finding a spot across the street.
Highly, highly recommended!!!
