've been to plenty of coffee shops, including Anodyne's other local locations. This one has a very…read moredifferent vibe and doesn't quite offer the elevated experience I've come to expect from the brand. Food: We ordered a couple of hot mochas with whipped cream. Unfortunately, they were some of the blandest lattes I've had in a long time. Even my wife commented on how lackluster they were. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, and cheese. It was disappointing as well. The sausage patty was warm around the edges, but still cold in the middle, and the sandwich looked like it had simply been dropped into the to-go box without much care. Service: One staff member was handling the register, taking orders, and preparing the food, all while doing their best to keep up with customers. During that time, another employee was stocking shelves and organizing bags of coffee. From a customer's perspective, it seemed like helping with the line and food preparation would have been the higher priority. Atmosphere: This location definitely caters to a different clientele. Since it's part of the Public Market, you don't really get the traditional coffee shop experience that Anodyne is known for. We found a couple of chairs at a small table outside, which was a pleasant place to enjoy our drinks. This location just didn't live up to the experience I've had at Anodyne's other cafés. It's probably not one I'd plan to return to.

Anodyne, although is a staple, is not a coffee shop I enjoyed very much.

I found the coffee to become bitter after sitting for a few minutes and quite expensive. The service took extremely long and people after us, although we had just ordered two lattes, were receiving their food and drinks before us. The location is a bit out of the way. Street parking is usually available. The interior is beautiful.

I also got to try the cinnamon date latte and that one was amazing, too. Service was fast and friendly! The space inside is lovely and modern and has lots of tables.

I was too full from dinner, but their pastries and food choices looked delicious, so I need to get back.

Been here several times before, and it has always been good. Today I showed up around 8:00. Decided…read moreto get a hot beverage, some bakery, and spend some time with a book. The building is essentially stand alone, with an attached "Take 5" oil change business (I'd want to grab a coffee while waiting for an oil change). In the front, there are a few outside café tables. Inside is large, with plenty of tables and seating for different size groups. There are design and decoration elements that are religious in nature, but I don't find them overpowering. The place was mostly empty when I arrived. There were a few cars using the drive thru. Got a nice greeting from the cashier. Placed my order for a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), and got it in a mug. I would have ordered a scone, but all they had in the case were muffins. Since I couldn't get a scone, I found the most decadent muffin, which was a Caramel Apple Pecan. It took a few minutes to make the London Fog (which is a good sign that they are giving it a good steep). They also left the bag in the mug, which I prefer. The beverage was excellent, the right temperature, good flavor, and the texture was right. The muffin was also very good. It was a very good experience and would make me come back again. Maybe next time they'll offer a scone or two.

Been here several times…read more It's a "nice" place on Pewaukee Lake. The signage is a little confusing, in that it's attached to another business (VeloCity Cycling), but just open the door and walk in. There are plenty of windows, so you know that you're in the right place. There are several different places to sit. Inside by the counter, a glass enclosed patio with a better view of the lake (the sunny can be overly bright and glaring), and outside seating during warmer weather. Got a friendly greeting by the staff, and help with the ordering. Got a couple hot drinks, including a London Fog Latte, and two scones (one blueberry, and another chocolate chip). The drinks were done nicely, with the London Fog including the necessary vanilla, lavender, and extra foam. The scones were good, but definitely not a traditional recipe. These were essentially muffins that were cooked on a cookie sheet and not a muffin tin. Had great muffing texture, not the tender/dry/crumble that you get with a real scone. I did ask, and apparently they make everything from scratch in house. When we arrived, there were just several tables of customers, but within the hour the entire place filled up. It's a popular place, and at times it could be hard to hold a conversation. It's a nice spot, with a great view, friendly staff and well made beverages. Would stop in again.

We were a group of seven and were able to find a couple of tables to pull together. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. They make excellent tea lattes. I usually go with a London Fog, and they do a very nice job with it, even adding some latte art. If I could make one suggestion, it would be offering a 16 oz option. They currently have 12 oz mugs, and sometimes I'm just looking for a little more. A tiny issue. Thanks!

Interesting setup for a local coffee shop. It shares a lobby area with a church, which probably…read moremakes it convenient to attendees, though it reminded me more of a common area in a college. They are at the other end of a strip mall from a Piggly Wiggly and they have a drive thru, so I suspect that a lot of people just use that instead of coming inside. I just had the s'mores coffee, which was good, and I hung out for awhile. It was midday on a Sunday, so it wasn't particularly busy. Just from the size of the area, it's not super cozy, but it seemed like an okay place to stop by for a few minutes

The big windows on the front give lots of natural light. There wasn't anyone else in the place when we arrived. Got a friendly greeting by the Barista. Ordered my usual London Fog, (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam. The Barista questioned by request for the Lavender. Insisted that London Fogs are made with Blackberry Syrup and not Lavender. Never heard that one before, so I gave it a try. No scones, so I got the Chocolate Chip Muffin. The London Fog came in a nice mug. Not nearly enough foam for my liking. The Blackberry flavor was interesting, but a bit too much, and overwhelmed the tea. The muffin was nice and moist. We were there for about 3 hours, and only 2 other people came during that time. It was easy to have a conversation. But seemed a bit odd (too quiet?).

I was less adventurous and got a red eye with the blueberry casserole that was on special. The blueberry casserole was a delicious muffin base with fresh blueberries and creamy mascarpone filling. Talked a bit with the new owners, they were very friendly. They also own a bakery and feature many of the sweets from their other business. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

We did have an issue finding a table this time - it's been so cold and I think everyone and their mother was a stone creek to get out and do something. Luckily we were able to find a bar seat! The staff is always so friendly, patient and helpful - and they do beautiful latte art for drinks in house.
