One of my favorite local spots. The staff is always so kind and warm, the food is excellent, best coffee in the area, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Definitely a must go. Get the breakfast burrito - you won’t regret it!

Baked goods were very fresh and tasted wonderful. Cozy place. Liked the vintage touches for decor and tableware. Tea and hot chocolate were very good. Friendly staff. Definitively will be a repeat customer.

The BEST cinnamon twist I’ve had, probably ever! Chai has a lovely spice and perfect balance of sweet. Happy people here, on both sides of counter. This shop is a much appreciated gem in an adorable town. Thank you!

My wife treated me to a birthday breakfast at Cafe Sonder the other day. I drive by several times a week but had never stopped. I expect that will be changing. On one level Cafe Sonder is "just another local coffee cafe," not unlike thousands of places around the country, and a goodly number in the Minocqua area as well. But it's not part of an ubiquitous chain -- so for that reason alone it deserves your patronage. The decor is pleasant and welcoming -- including about a hundred photos of friends and patrons -- if you know people around town you might recognize someone -- I did. It was a cool autumn morning when we visited, but if you stop by in the summer or a warm day in the spring or fall there is a nice outdoor seating area right on the main street heading south through town. Seating is somewhat limited inside and out, so you might have to wait for a seat, or opt for take away, on a busy day I started out with a cup of the house blend coffee. I take mine black and it was just right -- dark and rich, fairly strong but not overly bitter. For my food I went with their Nordic Breakfast Sandwich -- basically an everything bagel. cream cheese and smoked salmon, served with a green salad on the side. For me it was a perfect birthday breakfast featuring ingredients I rarely have on hand at home. Everything was fresh and tasty. The amount of salmon was more than ample for the price point of the plate. I really enjoyed it. Cafe Sonder is a decent but average establishment. That said, I will be stopping in again when I get a hankering for some bagels and lox and I'm confident that it will meet my expectations.

Wowza! $10 for some plain avo toast---bread isn't even toasted. Wasn't bad, was worth the price.Coffee is nice and strong tho .
This is definitely a necessary stop if you're coming through Minocqua! The environment is second to none in comparison to the other shops in the area and it has a very warm, homey feel to it! All of the staff is super nice and respectful as well. The raspberry croissant is also a must-buy, 10/10!

First time visiting Cafe Sonder. Newer coffee shop in town. Positive and friendly staff. Short wait time. Tried the cortado and maple spice almond latte. Both delicious! Highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back.
