First time here. Came with a friend for lunch. The place is cute, with small-town charm. It’s a welcoming storefront on a street packed with other restaurants and small businesses. There are a few cafe tables out front. Lots of room inside: seating in the front on the lower level, more seating up a short set of stairs (where they have board games like chess and checkers), and another room in the back that can be reserved for groups (not sure if there’s a cost).

We arrived a little after noon. There were a few other people there. We waited a little while to place our order. The cashier/barista apologized several times as they were preparing other people’s orders. Once it was our turn, we got a warm greeting and plenty of help with our menu questions. Lots of nice choices for beverages and sandwiches. We ended up with a couple of chai drinks (one hot, one cold), a grilled cheese sandwich, and a chicken salad croissant.

Then we waited… and waited… and waited some more. It took quite a while to get the drinks and the croissant sandwich. Then it took another long while to get the grilled cheese. At one point I asked if they were still working on it (it had been so long that I thought they might have forgotten). They apologized again and explained that the griddle they were using (a panini press) just takes forever. We weren’t in a hurry, but I noticed some other customers who were visibly upset.

The Chai Latte was excellent, as was the Harvest Chai (an ice cream drink). The Chicken Salad Croissant was also very good — fresh, with a good amount of chicken and not too much mayonnaise. Nice, crispy textures. The Grilled Cheese was good, but the bread wasn’t very “grilled” (maybe a limitation of the panini press?).

We didn’t get dessert, but they offered a few small samples of the Chocolate Shoppe ice cream — very tasty.

Lots to like about this place, but the wait times were way too long. 🙁

Love the atmosphere here in this small town coffee shop! It’s always clean, warm and welcoming. Staff is always friendly, there’s a great variety of snacks, drinks and ice creams, and the coffee is delicious. I had the Acai Berry Bowl last time I went and it was out of this world! The delicious special cookie that comes with every drink is always the cherry on top! Love it here!

A really nice coffee shop with incredible atmosphere. The 2nd level is really nice with ample seating, games, and great decor. I had a cruller and it was excellent. Especially dunking it. I also had a Cappuccino which had the perfect amount of foam and milk. Saw a church group there as well as students and folks just hanging out. Really nice quiet place.

Awesome customer service, calm and fun atmosphere. My teenage son loved that they had chess boards out.
Decent selection of food, drinks and desserts.
I’ve had several coffees here and all have been awesome.
This will quickly become a regular stop when we are in town.
For easier parking, there is a lot behind the shop and you can enter through a side door.

Lovely atmosphere with 2 floors for sitting. Lots of games and chess sets to use. Coffee, bakery and fantastic assortment of ice cream. Coffee isn’t that great, but still a lovely place.

Went here for the first time today with my wife and daughter. Great little coffee shop, love the ambience and staff was very friendly as well. My honey latte was delicious and my wife loved her iced chai too! We will definitely be back here next time we are in downtown Oconomowoc! ☕️

My husband and I have come here twice now. Best mocha he’s ever had. I loved my Matcha. Best mint brownie I’ve ever had. He’s enjoyed a couple different ice cream sandwiches. We love the atmosphere. We especially love the later hours: it’s hard finding quiet coffee spots open later! We’re not bar people, we’re coffee house people and YES enjoy coffee late!
I do have one complaint, however. That bathroom is seriously gross! The walls are gross. The sink is gross. There’s a fake plant with 3 years of dust on it touching my knee when I’m sitting on the toilet. It’s only one tiny bathroom and dirtier than a Mobile gas station. I just hope this isn’t an indication of cleanliness from where the food is coming from.

One of the best local spots in Oconomowoc. They have quality coffee and amazing homemade breads like banana bread. Not to mention…they also have ice cream!

The indoor seating is so cozy and there is quite a lot of options. In the very back they have a couch area which is nice for when you want to relax and read a book. They have plenty of other table options with a chess board provided too.

I love the tree they have up during the holidays. I definitely recommend stopping here if you haven’t already!

This coffee house is a must go to in Oconomowoc. Classic Sassy Cow ice cream, great coffee/chai and delish baked goods.

Family owned coffee shop in the heart of downtown Oconomowoc. I always get the iced, creamy caramel coffee. Delicious and creamy as listed! Coffee shop has a clean, old school vibe. Staff are friendly, and I never have to wait long for a drink. It’s the perfect stop before going on a walk around Fowler Lake.
