Awesome little dinner with AMAZING food and atmosphere. I’ve never had anything but great food and service. The bakery case is always full of sweets and is so pretty to look at too. I normally order pancakes with fruit but today I went for the French toast and bacon which was a hearty thick cut style and oh so good! I always splurge for the up charge on real maple syrup. It’s worth it, and they totally should charge for it. Also in the pic is an omelet, fruit side, and coffee. If you go on a Saturday morning, swing by the farmers market kiddy corner from them!

Nice quant family restaurant, I had the Saturday Veggie omelette (it had Brussel sprouts and Asparagus too) that I added Jalapeños to. It was very good, and i especially liked the addition of the Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts in addition to all the “other” veggies. I also had their home made Rye toast, which was fantastic!! My wife had the Grilled Buffalo Chicken and we shared them. Her sandwich was also extremely tasty. The coffee was good and they stopped often to refresh my cup. If you are in or near Waupaca you need to stop in.

very busy place, nice atmosphere, little pricey for a sandwich, chips and a pickle. We ordered and asked for fries for hubs burger and onion rings for my blt on homemade rye(which we had to pay extra for). Hubs enjoyed his, and u can see by the pic. the quantity of fries he received, but that burger was barely done(glad i wasn't eating it). my blt was just ok, the bread was dry and crumbly, wouldn't order again, very little tomato. and mayo. as u can see by the pic that the onion rings were way overcooked, in my opinion, should never have been served. some were inedible. My hub was asked if he wanted more of his drink, but i was never asked! For $44 i expected better than what i recieved. Will not be on my list for a return visit. Sorry.

The competition for Wisconsin’s best breakfast is heating up with Little Fat Gretchen’s as a real contender. A tasty breakfast served quickly by a friendly staff. Choose to be seated at a booth, traditional counter, or enjoy one of the retro tables. Nicely decorated with local art and plenty of available parking. I enjoyed the 2 farm-fresh eggs cooked to medium per my request, sourdough toast and hash browns. I chose to accent my dish with a side of sausage patties. For those with a sweet tooth, enjoy the home baked goods with your coffee. Daily specials include omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and French toast.

Full chefs kiss. All fresh made, amazing quality of food ingredients, plus retro style! I personally recommend the veggie wrap or for breakfast there’s the 2 egg, swap toast for pancakes. Hash browns are made from red russets!! Plus full bakery goods and daily special! Our server Danielle gave service with a smile and those great at home vibes. Come here and you will never be sorrry!!!

I had the strawberry rhubarb french toast and it was so delish. Not too sweet and just enough of everything to make it work. Keep this on the menu for your specials. Anything rhubarb works for me. Just wish I knew what the specials were on line. My husband had the basics egg, bacon potatoes, and he had no problem clearing his plate. Keep up the great work.

I can't get over how good this place is! Last time I visited for lunch and had the buffalo chicken wrap which was nothing short of amazing and today I tried the Cheesehead burger....SO GOOD!!! Not only was the food outstanding, the service was top notch. Let's just say I did not feel disgruntled leaving a tip for all their hard work, THANK YOU!!!

Very accommodating to the vegan/plant based folks. I recommend getting the omelet without egg, substitute with hashbrowns and load it with veggies. So delicious. The service was so quick and amazing too! Danielle and the whole staff are on top of it.
