Great food and cute shop, but while trying to place a order over the phone was hung up on multiple times and never got my order through. It might have been misunderstanding between conversations but otherwise the cafe is great.

Strong and tasty espresso I really enjoy the drinks here. Have you guys considered getting on the Joe app? It would be a perfect use for your pickup window.

The espresso is incredible. This is a quiet little shop with cute vibes. The lunch special is always good, with locally grown greens and delicious bread. Definitely recommend for a little get together, a study spot, or a quick lunch stop

I have never experienced such rude service from the owner in my life. I bought a coffee at 11am, we were sitting with our laptops for not even 5 minutes and the owner asks us to leave within the hour for lunch rush. I told her we will buy lunch there so that she won't be inconvenienced. I go to buy lunch a little later and I sit back down. She then comes back to our table and yells at us and accuses us of being there since 9am (we had hardly been there an hour at this point and spent $35 on food and drinks). There were several tables open in the restaurant. She made us move tables right as my lunch came out, but at this point I was crying because of how mean she was and I did not touch my lunch. One of the waitresses came and apologized for how mean the owner was and gave me a cookie. The cookie smelled nice, but tasted salty because of the tears I got on it.
I would say it is common courtesy to not yell at your guest.

Wow amazing! I’ve been waiting for a place like this in Minocqua. Not only are the people/workers especially kind but the food is out of this world. The bakery items are some of the best I’ve had anywhere! We pre order items and they happily accommodate. We went in there and it was packed!! With covid and short staff all over the country hope others will be patient and appreciate what they are trying to do in the Northwoods. We are lucky to have them here!

Cafe Sonder is a GREAT addition to downtown Minocqua. The staff is sweet and the environment is welcoming and friendly. A great place to sit and read or catch up with friends. Coffee and selection of beans as well as tasty pastries was the best around!

Stopped in early Sunday morning on our way out of town - We had no idea what a treat we were in for!
We ordered a pumpkin spice latte, two different flavors of chai latte, and two types of muffins. All were great, but the sour cream cinnamon muffins need a call-out for one of the best, most moist muffins I’ve ever had.
Baked goods are freshly made by “Grandma” in the back, and they also have quiche. They said they will be rolling out a full menu in the future. There are a few tables and chairs inside, including an electric fireplace, and a small patio out front.
Highly recommend - we look forward to becoming regulars at this new establishment.
UPDATE: I had a concern about mask wearing at Cafe Sonder and the owner addressed it. I look forward to a return trip there.

Everything was clean and neat when I walked in. I was super excited about trying this new place. After all I only get to Minoqua one a year so I’m always excited about trying the new restaurants. While I was waiting for my coffee. The owner or manager kept screaming at the people to shut the door because the ac was on. Very rude I thought. But after 25 minutes of waiting for my coffee that never showed up I was forced to leave. I couldnt bear to listen to the women scream about the ac any longer. Enjoy my $6 dollar tip

Quant yet cute little cafe in the down town area of Minocqua. Family owned and run. Quality cafe drinks for those not looking for diner coffee or hotel coffee. Friendly staff and bakery is quite tasty! All good smiles too! For true coffee people.
