Jen’s Alpine Cafe and Soup Kitchen

Great local favorite!!!!

Best pies & soups I’ve ever eaten. Great place to eat breakfast & lunch!

What a fun place. Decor from the 1960s with all solid wood and quartersawn oak panels.

Exceptional Friday fish fry / bake, and they could easily accommodate one in our party that is gluten-free. And they even do the Wisconsin potato pancakes with applesauce. Prices are quite reasonable.

If you live in or around Baraboo, or you're just visiting from deep south Arizona like us, you really owe it to yourself to visit every Friday for this fish fry. Can't wait to come back.

Dietary restrictions: Easily accommodated gluten-free and dairy-free needs.

The Good:
The atmosphere is super cute.

The Bad:
Food: I've never been served eggs Benedict with a hard-boiled egg anywhere in my life. I'm normally someone who doesn't complain about food, but the yolk and hollandaise is the best part of an eggs Benedict.

Service: I didn't have a chance to ask about the hard-boiled egg on my Benedict because the server did not come by after dropping off our food. I have worked food service and understand when tables are full and service may not be as good. At the time our food was dropped off tables had cleared out and there was probably 2 or 3 other tables besides mine. The waitress walked by a couple times but not close enough to grab her attention and she didn't stop once to check in with us if we needed refills or anything else.

I love to try local foods and give my money to local businesses, but the food here was nothing to write home about and the service was lack luster.

Soups are AH-MAZING. Got here 12:30 on a Saturday. Sat right away, food a few minutes after we ordered. Desserts looked amazing, everything home made! It says a lot when the owner is there every day and takes her own tables. Thank you, Jen!

It’s been a little while since we were in here last but the couple times we’ve been in have not disappointed.
My toddler and I were in one day for lunch & we’re catered to like we were family. The older waitress was so kind and helpful!
The second time was my husband was with me and my son for breakfast & everything was excellent.
We love the older vibe and everyone is treated like family. Food is excellent! Portions are perfect and prices are reasonable.
Highly recommend & looking forward to the next visit!!

A great local establishment. Service and food were very good. Take note of some of the original architecture and the homemade soups, pies and granola.

Absolutely best breakfast in Baraboo. Food quality is excellent, and the daily and monthly specials offer unique options that I have never seen anywhere else. Service is exceptional, and Jen herself is 1 of a kind. I have, and will continue to recommend Jen's alpine cafe to anyone looking for an amazing meal.
