What a gem of a spot! The food was superb! Coffee was perfect. Staff was all very attentive, professional, and kind. What a fun, upbeat, breath of fresh air in the Wausau / Rib Mountain dining scene. I would eat here for any meal of the day – not just breakfast! Sampled/Pictured: The Savory Dutch Baby (Gruyère Fondu!?!?! To die for!), a steak and egg brekki, and some super tasty cold brew concoctions!

Breakfast Bear in Wausau is such a gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with simple, minimal décor that feels refreshing and not overwhelming. The place is spotless, and the service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. I absolutely loved the freshly squeezed orange juice—it tasted so bright and fresh. Breakfast itself was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. This spot has quickly become a favorite, and I can’t wait to come back again!

We stopped at Breakfast Bear on a whim, first time ever. I had one of their signature, Fig & Prosciutto toast plate with an extra poached egg. My husband had the Huevos Rancheros. Food was amazing and such a welcoming CLEAN atmosphere. I’d drive the 2 hours just to stop here again. Our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) was so sweet, prompt and attentive.

This was a wonderful choice for brunch today! We got here around 11:35, and only had a 25 minute wait. They were very accommodating with food restrictions and substituted vegetarian sausage for bacon on the Heirloom Honey Bear and did not charge extra for the substitution! Everything we had was delicious, and we would definitely come back for another meal!

We stopped here for my daughter’s birthday breakfast. I saw that they had 4+ stars on Google so I trusted that. We got seated and our server brought us waters. I saw the menu and I was a little surprised by the prices. Fast forward, my daughter was brought a free cinnamon roll for her birthday, she ordered French toast, I got an omelet with hashbrowns and pancakes, and my son got a skillet. I am not lying when I say that everything I tried was phenomenal. I’ve never had a better breakfast. Even the pancakes (which I am not a huge fan of pancakes cus they get soggy faster than waffles or french toast) were cooked to perfection where they didn’t get soggy and the flavor was out of this world amazing. Everything was 100% so tasty. For the 3 of us it ended up being $50 (no drinks) but in the end it was worth it. Best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life.

We had breakfast with family here recently. It has a nice spacious open feel, soft booths so the kids can easily eat without hurting themselves. The decor is nice and modern with soft little quirky touches (ie Bear in chair suspended from ceiling). Staff did a great job. The food was overall pretty great. I wasn’t a fan of the amount of caramel on my Dutch baby (my husband also said the sauce in his Bananas Foster French Toast was a little too much) and that the whipped topping was Cool Whip vs real cream, but now I know. Outside of that-the coffee, eggs, breakfast meats, and pancakes, French toast, etc. were all good. The fresh fruit was a very nice touch-it wasn’t just unripe melon like many restaurants have, it was a mix of berries, bananas and green grapes. I would definitely go again, but might ask for very light sauce (or on the side) if I order pancakes, French toast, etc.

Short wait for a table, and well worth it. Service was outstanding, and food was excellent. We got breakfast and the portions were perfect. Prices are very reasonable.

First time here and we were all impressed. It was busy but we got a table right away. My daughter got the breakfast plate and finished everything. There was generous portions and almost no leftovers. We are looking forward to going back, so many good choices. I had the chicken and waffles.

We had brunch at Breakfast Bear, and it was an absolute hidden gem—tucked a little out of the way but well worth the detour. The menu is fun, creative, and offers something for everyone.
Everything we tried was fresh, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure our drinks were always full.
The turkey club was a star of the meal—stacked with thick slices of turkey and bacon, elevated by cranberry mayo and hearty rye bread. It was more than just a sandwich; it was comfort food with a gourmet twist. The burgers were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right, while the loaded tots came piled high with toppings that made them impossible to stop eating.
Whether you’re looking for a hearty brunch, a quick bite, or a spot to relax over great food, Breakfast Bear is absolutely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back.

First time here! The good reviews brought us in and the delicious food will have us coming back! Despite it being very busy there was no large wait times to be seated or for the food to come out. Both the brie & fig omelette and potato hash were great!
