“If you’re in Oconomowoc I highly recommend Whelan’s! If you’re like me and truly, truly enjoy high quality coffee then this is the go-to place! I’ve tried other coffee shops in the area and they all fell flat in comparison. From the friendly staff (Laurel and Julie), to the selection of baked goods and ice cream, to the “kick back and relax” hometown vibe, Whelan’s is truly a diamond in the rough!“
“Absolutely love this place! The play area is fantastic – it's my top choice for meetups in bad weather or when I need to tire out my kiddo. The coffee area is not only clean but also chic, and there's plenty of seating available. A reliable go-to spot for sure!Kid-friendliness: Perfect place for kiddos!“
“The barista's here are so nice and friendly! I always ask for their suggestions with drinks and they never fail to come up with something tasty. They remember me when I come and and it makes me feel seen. I love that there are bagels right next door it is like a two in one. I love this coffee shop and the ambiance is so great! I will be coming back again and again.“
“Stopped for lunch this weekend with my father who's currently at Shorehaven for rehab. Quick, friendly service, good food and fair prices. Lady at the counter, Kelly, was super friendly and helpful. What a great part of the Shorehaven campus to have patients/residents/guests to have an option for a change of scenery and the opportunity to dine together.“
“I had some time to kill while waiting to pick up someone, I was in town visiting from CA and thought, I really need caffeine. Yelped a few places that were close to where I was and this one popped up. Super cute little place, I could have purchased way too much. They have lots of fresh coffee, beans and espresso beans and honey and all sorts of goodies, so I check out the menu and immediately focus in on the Montecristo. I haven't had one in quite a while so I thought you know what, why not, I'll take the Montecristo and I'll also try a piece of coffee cake sitting in the display case amongst lots of goodies and a large dirty chai tea. Dirty Chai came with 4 shots of espresso, which is exactly what I needed. It came relatively fast along with a warm coffee cake. Chai tea wasn't your classic chai with cardamom and all the other spices and herbs in it but it was pretty good. It was strong and hot, it was cold out and it hit the spot. Coffee cake was absolutely amazing, super moist and buttery cinnamon crumb was nice and thick, this was on point and I loved it. Sandwich took a bit of time, actually thought they forgot about it. But it finally made its way to my table. OK . . . so I have never seen a Monte Cristo sandwich prepared like this one, I'm use to it having Mayo, Dijon Mustard, red current or raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar. As you can see from the photo, it wasn't "dolled up" nor pretty and it was served with a side of maple syrup. I have to admit, I was taken aback, but put a lil maple syrup on top and sliced into it, huh ok well that's not bad, a lil different, but very tasty. Instead of Mayo/Mustard I think it was Cream Cheese? Bread was a lightly dipped French Toast this is where the Maple Syrup came into play. I had a few bites, but took it to go. Came back at it the next day after heating it up in the microwave, again just a drizzle of maple syrup and finally decided, wow this is actually pretty darn good. My ONLY suggestion, the inside needed to be hotter so the cheese would be melted and gooey however, I understand that probably would be harder to achieve with the cream cheese. Overall pleasantly surprised, nice job.“
“One of the best!I really do love this place. When I first passed through Oconomowoc 3 years ago by happen chance, I stopped by Roots for lunch. The experience of seeing City Beach, eating lunch at Roots, and driving through downtown Oconomowoc was enough for me to pack up and move here 4 months later from an hour away.I think they have the best coffee/Lattes in town.Their food quality/service has always been top notch.The interior is cozy and contemporary, Intimate and relaxing. This has been a repeat business I have spent $100s of dollars with in the last 3 years. I love it.I just wanted to say that it is absolutely crazy that the breakfast burrito I ate today was 1/3 filled with corn. Not even fresh corn. FROZEN CORN! I’m still shocked. The texture and taste of frozen corn is beyond recognizable and barely palatable on a plate with butter let alone wrapped up and reheated in a breakfast burrito. Ya’ll need to remove the corn and replace with potato and even bell peppers (both can be frozen and reheated) - using frozen corn in a breakfast meal as an ingredient is crazy.The other thing was I had a hard time reading the menu today with the baby blue background and fine font. I overheard the elderly couple behind me discussing the same thing.I love Roots and will continue to patronize this business - but please guys tweak that burrito a little bit ???“
“We visited the Oconomowoc site and enjoyed our coffee and croissants. Two of our party were in Paris less than a year ago (where we ate croissants daily) and these were just as amazing- really. And I enjoyed the Americanized stuff ham version so much. I love when people take a great idea and make it better. Good customer service too, which I appreciate.“
“Really though..5 ⭐️ Golosi truly have a vibe that radiates authenticity. I can't express how perfect every café drink the owner has made for me. Truly a great barista. One day i Stopped here after work for espresso/cappuccino one day, and ill definitely keep coming back.“
