My husband & I do Thursday date nights, to avoid the crowds and found Izumi to over half full and saw at least 6-8 to go orders served while we ate.

“After exploring the exhibits and perhaps witnessing a live calf birth, visitors can relax in the café, savoring dishes that pay homage to Wisconsin’s farming traditions. The staff’s warmth and the café’s cozy ambiance make it a perfect spot to reflect on the day’s learnings.
Even if you’re just passing through Manitowoc, the café at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is worth a stop on its own. It’s a small but well-run spot that delivers on taste, quality, and Wisconsin charm. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something fresh and local, this café is a hidden gem.”

When we returned for dinner on Wednesday, I noticed she was there but she informed me she wasn't our server, so since we requested her to be. She took good care of my colleagues and I again. Met all our needs and even got me a brownie bite for my birthday. When I return, I hope Brooke M is working so we can have A1 service yet again.”

“I want to give a huge shout out to the manager! Shes so very sweet and works her butt off every time we stop in. A few months back my card kept getting declined and I was a total wreck because being a single mom and it declining was so embarrassing. She even sat with me while I called my bank, but morale of the story, she paid for us. And now its because of her being so kind, we come back to see her! I really wish there were more people like her in this world!”
