The buzzed Thai tea, the pulled pork burrito and the bacon Belgian waffle were really well done. The decor is very much the of the nothing matches, ergo everything matches variety, although llamas/alpacas were a common element in a lot of rooms. Definitely gives off wild, college dorm type vibes, which was both entertaining and nostalgic.

We stopped here on our first morning on our honeymoon, and loved it so much we came back on our way back home!The smoked pulled pork burrito was absolutely incredible. I can see why they made it a signature item.The coffee was top notch. My wife loved her red velvet latte, and on my way back I grabbed a pistachio latte that I drank way too quickly (it was that good).

An excellent coffee house experience with friendly staff and excellent food and drink. With a relaxing atmosphere and some whimsical decor, it’s an inviting place to stay for a little while or a bit longer if you can spare it.The staff was courteous and masking while not at the table was observed. Outdoor dining and to go options are available. I recommend the bacon Belgian waffle, included in a picture.

Cute and quirky cafe, love the outdoor seating. My matcha latte was delicious and came in a huge ceramic mug which I loved. The 4 stars is only for the very long wait for not being that busy.

This is a special place. Its a house with so many rooms that are decorated uniquely and make you want you explore each room.The coffee and sweets are great.In all seriousness. It might be my favorite coffee shop and I try to visit as many as I can.Enjoy

A genuine gem in Sturgeon Bay, eclectic eats and delicacies accompanied by a wide array of matches, mochas, and more. You’ve got an outdoor area with prime seating and pooch sighting, diverse decor inside with a bathroom you’ve got to see. Seriously, check this spot out.

Really wonderful and helpful staff, delicious food and coffee, beautiful outdoor and indoor seating options. Would recommend the Cubano coffee and the other veggie burrito.

Really cute place that made me want to come in and try it out. We came at about 11:30 and there were two people in line ahead of us. We waited a good 20 minutes to put an order in, then another 20 minutes waiting for drinks. I kept watch of time on my phone. Cool menu and eclectic coffee, but not worth the wait.

Cute little place in a converted house. Lots of outdoor seating. Coffee was excellent and made to order correctly. Baked goods were a little odd - my scone tasted rather like a muffin mix.

Cutest shop EVER!!! A real coffee HOUSE! Adorable outdoor seating in good weather,or several rooms to pull up a chair or couch or table to enjoy your favorite coffee or smoothie, and their breakfast burritos are delicious! Also a large selection of baked goods. This will definitely be on our stop whenever we come to Door County!

Coffe was extremely bitter. Some may enjoy this, but I do not. Long wait to order. That being said I will try them again because of the good attitudes and smiles from servers. Also a very nice outdoor area.

In Sturgeon Bay for the weekend and looking for a good place for coffee. Wow! This was way better than good. Been here 2 days in a row now for coffees and a light breakfast. I had the sea salt and caramel both days, my husband had the caramel mocha and the llama. All drinks have been great! We also tried the lemon cake, a blueberry scone, the bacon waffle, and the chorizo burrito. All the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

I was standing here for 40 min just to get 3 coffee! Just 3..... and I got only 2, staff forgot about 3rd coffee and here we wait again! Terrible service! I tried to asked girls whats wrong?! No apologies, nothing, just we are little bit busy. People who made orders after us already got their drinks... Im very disappointed....

Oh my gosh!! I absolutely loved everything about this place. Cute and quaint inside. Plenty of outdoor seating. Picked a comfy spot on the front porch. My mom had the pork tacos which she kept saying how great the flavors were. I had the avacado ciabatta. Simple but super delicious! Definitely will be back many more times.

Review №22

I do not understand how this cafe has so many good reviews. The food is not very good, the coffee is horrible, and the service is horrendious. I have gone here three times and each time, I waited at least 30+ minutes, reguardless of how busy they were or what I ordered. I once overheard a customer say he had been waiting for his breakfast burrito for over an hour.

Review №23

The food was good but I was toldIt would be 30-40 minutes wait for breakfast and I was ok with that being the weekend, but we waited at least 1.5 hours for 2 breakfasts burritos. The coffee was good but we wasted door county time waiting for breakfast. Washington Island would have been better if we hadn’t wasted thattime in town.

We’ve been patrons for the last few years. We also travel for business and visit restaurants, cafes and coffee shops all over the country. On June 19,2021 we stopped in for coffee and breakfast. To our surprise, no one greeted us when we approached the inside counter. After standing there for 10 minutes, no one said hello or attempted to serve us. We went outside to order from the walk up window. At least 3 employees saw us as they filled orders, but still no greeting. While outside, a family entered the inside area to order for outside dining and was served before us. Yes, they were busy, but you need to serve your customers. Say, hello, let customers know you’re busy and there will be a longer than usual wait. After 10 more minutes outside, we decided that the customer service was so poor, that they simply didn’t deserve our business. This is a shame as we used to enjoy this place. You simply can not ignore your customers. At the very least, smile. Not a single employee smiled in the twenty or so minutes we were there. Wow. After the pandemic can you really afford to do business this way? EPIC Fail, Grade = F

I feel bad giving this average rating to a business that offers very good quality products: excellent food (scones in particular) and coffee, however they have an enormous logistic problem, queues to order are really slow and the waiting time for your order is 30 min+. My guess is that they could have been affected by the current workers shortage.I hope they can fix this and keep the good quality before the customers patience ends.

Review №31

Cute spot, they focused a lot on the esthetic of their establishment to make it unique. The thing that killed me was the wait. We walked up to the window and it took 10 minutes before someone took our order. It took 20 minutes to receive a coffee and 30 minutes for a milkshake. Our food took an hour and was pretty basic. Would have appreciated a warning that they were behind in the kitchen because it wasnt really worth an hour of my time.

Review №33

A favorite from our Door County vacation last year this cute coffee shop was a definite stop this year! The atmosphere of this coffee house is so awesome words and pictures just don’t do it justice!!While the drinks (dirty chai and red velvet frappe) were delicious I think decor is what keeps me coming back. From shabby chic features and fun art inside to a wide selection of creative seating outside you just never get bored! Our favorites are definitely the hammocks and chandelier table!!For those with pets or wanting to stay outside they even have a “walk up window”!

Review №36

Based just on the food this place is easily 5 stars… but it took over an hour of waiting for a to go order. It took an hour for just coffee and then even more time for a burrito. It was ridiculous. Some people were there for over 30 minutes waiting for coffee to go.

Such a delightful place. Drinks were delicious (spicy mocha 😍). Food was INCREDIBLE (chorizo & egg burrito 🤤😋🤤). It was fairly busy, but it seemed like there was always enough room for everyone. With big & small reusable mugs (and to-go cups, if you prefer), there is certainly a feel of the neighborhood come and stay a while place. I wish I could transplant this happy place home with me. ❤️

Dont let the outside fool you. It is in an older house converted to a coffee house. If you like llamas you will love the internal decorations. The coffee and scones are by far some of the best I have had and very reasonably priced. If you are in the area it is a must to stop here.

Typical pricey coffee. It was good dark roast coffee, thus I gave it two stars. But the deal breaker that upset me was the $1.00 charge for alternative milk! I am a vegan and requested almond milk instead of cows milk. That did not set well with me and my partner.

Llamas, dolls, and turquoise. Eclectic décor, but the food is not anything but straight good. Recommend their special pulled pork panini or southwest quesadillas. Coffee is good too, with many interesting flavours to pick from - something for everyone.

The food was incredible and so was my coffee! I even had leftovers. There was a bit of a wait but that’s because the inside is closed due to COVID and it was packed. So it wasn’t a big deal at all! The extra time allowed me to sit back and relax, taking in the cute and fun ambiance of the outdoor area. My friend and I ended up staying for almost 3 hours just chatting! The staff was so friendly and even came up to chat about our experience. I mentioned it was my first time there and they wanted to make sure I had a good time! I will100% be returning to try more drinks/food from the menu as well as enjoy the atmosphere!

Im so glad that we found this place on a whim! I ordered a matcha latte and my boyfriend ordered a pistachio frappe. They custom made a peppermint matcha latte for me that was to die for. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to us, even though we arrived pretty close to closing time! We will be back the next time we are in Door County! ❤🍵

Review №61

Love this place. Its fun to have an odd- vibe, off-the-beaten-path, genuinely original coffeehouse left to visit in this pre-wrapped, formulaic, mass-produced world. Weve come here everytime we visit Sturgeon Bay. Been coming since they first opened. Its got a special place in our hearts and the products are high quality. Good baristas, good bakery, good music choices. That is my favorite Door County coffeehouse.

Review №62

I was at this coffeehouse this morning. The coffee and scone were delicious. However, I have one concern. The girl inside who was taking money, making and handing out drinks and food, was not wearing a mask in the middle of the pandemic. It’s a state mandate. I would have felt much safer if she had been wearing one. If this isn’t enforced, what other safety precautions are being ignored?

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Not what I expected walking in, this place is cute, quaint and eclectic. Definitely has some real old school charm. Staff was great and recommended I get the pulled pork & egg burrito. I mustve been so excited about my meal, once I got it I was out the door - completely forgetting my purse. I hadnt noticed I didnt have my purse until home, which is 3 hours away. The owner kindly mailed it back to me! My faith in humanity was restored. Not only is this place a great stop for food & drink, but the owners are top notch. THANKS AGAIN!

I’ve been wanting to come here for a very very long time. Finally was able to make a mini vacation of door county and here was my chance to finally go. I waited well over 20 minutes for ONE latte before asking about where it was. Went to go ask and still had a long time to wait. I’m sure the coffee is fantastic (never got the latte) but wouldn’t recommend unless you want to spend quite a long time waiting. Even the people after me got their drinks before I did. Really sad and disappointed.

My wife loves the coffee, that was my first time going, since I work 3rd shift we cant do a date night so we go out for breakfast every Friday morning, and we chose 5th and J. Shes never been there to eat so we decided to give it a try. The food was great, but my only complaint is they give you very small portions. Thats not a place to go if youre hungry, its more of a meet up place with food if you want a snack.

A large London fog, a smoothie, a egg dish and a grilled cheese and a piece of the really really good coffee cake $31.00.

Coffee was OK and about right for $3 boutique coffee. However, charging $.50 for a spalsh of alternative almond milk in my coffee to accodate a vegan, was a deal breaker and we will not be back. Also, an answer from the owner to a previous review on why the cashier was not wearing a mask was a legalise excuse that was not a good answer.
