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.

Interesting location, right on one corner of a roundabout. It would be a difficult spot to access…read moreduring busy hours, I'd assume, as people getting off of roundabout wouldn't want to stop behind you as you're trying to get into their parking lot. Thankfully, the road wasn't busy when we came, and we didn't run into this trouble at all. I'm just assuming, since roundabouts are made on roads that are busy during traffic hours. The coffeeshop itself is quaint and cozy inside. Service was slow, as there was only one person working on making all the drinks, taking the orders, taking payments, and getting food out. There were only 2 people ahead of us, but it took a while for us to get an acknowledgment for being there, as she was working hard on making the drinks for them. Our group mostly stuck with regular coffee, and the cafe uses Stone Creek Coffee. The latte was good and creamy. Vibes inside were cozy and warm on a cold December day. And the neighborhood was nice! All the other visitors in the cafe were so nice!

We were there with about 6 people and, although it was fairly busy, it didn't take long (on a late Wednesday morning) for us to find a place for all of us. They've got couches and comfy chairs, as well as regular tables and chairs for a more traditional dining experience. We dug the atmosphere and overall local vibe of the place. They're coffees and things that go in the coffees (milks and honey) are locally sourced, so a good amount of thought goes into what goes into what they're serving you. We'd definitely go again!

First time here, came with friends on a Sunday for lunch. It's located right across from Lake…read moreFowler, so you can choose to dine inside or take your order to-go and sit at one of the lakeside tables. Inside, there are numerous seating areas for different-sized groups, spread across several "rooms" that give you a sense of privacy. Large front windows let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel open and bright. We arrived right around noon, just as the lunch crowd was filling in. There was a short line that moved quickly. Service was friendly and helpful while we placed our order. We decided on the Brie Salad and the Avocado Toast, along with a Lemonade and a London Fog Tea Latte. I gave them my special instructions for the latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam, in a mug), and they were happy to make it exactly as requested. Orders come with a number, and the staff delivers your food right to your table. The wait was short before our food arrived, and the entire meal was excellent. My Avocado Toast was a treat -- layered with toast, cream cheese (yes, cream cheese!), avocado, and feta on top. It was so good as is, but next time I'll ask if they can add a poached egg on top -- that would make it even more amazing. A great first-time experience here. I'd definitely come back for breakfast (or maybe try another lunch).

It's a…read moregreat building with windows along one side, and a drive through around the back (or is it the front). Inside there are different seating areas, and even a fireplace with a couple of chairs. The door opened right to the outside, which can be a little chilly like today, when someone enters/exits. The inside reflects the name, Mercantile and Bean. There are unique items for sale, ranging from honey to candles to apparel items. For me, this space could have been better purposed for additional seating. But I get the idea that they offer what they consider "Artisanal" items for sale. Just not what I want in a coffee shop. Stopped in with a friend for some lunch. It was about half full, and there were mostly individuals or couple seated in the dining area. Got to order right away, and got friendly service the entire time. Got a London Fog Tea Latte, and they did a good job with my order (little vanilla, little lavender, and extra foam). They also left the tea bags, so that I might steep a little longer. Chose the Greek Salad, which was made up in the typical fashion, although this one had a bit of avocado (nice addition). The bakery case some unique items that you might not find in other places. I got a piece of Chai Masala Coffee Cake. It was moist, flavorful, and was a generous portion. It also had a nice brown sugar crunchy top. It was a good experience, but leaning more towards a Cafe and Merch shop, and less than a traditional coffee shop.

Groups of people having a good time, but the noise level was pretty high.

I got their seasonal special - it's a dark chocolate pecan drink, I asked for less sweet, decaf and almond milk. My husband had a double espresso. Both of us enjoyed our drinks, and the barista is professional and friendly. I think my coffee is better than the taste of almost coffee shops in San Diego, I loved it. We also tried their breakfast items, I had a ham and cheese crepe and my husband had a breakfast sandwich, the size is huge and the price is reasonable. Also they are delicious! I'm impressed!

A modern exterior, with a color scheme that is eye catching. I looked up the word "Kuumba," and Kuumba is Swahili and means "creativity." I think that's a fitting word. There is a patio out back for seating, and inside are tables for different sized groups. We found a comfortable four top. Got a friendly greeting and patience with us figuring out our order. Lots of interesting hot and cold beverages. Not an extensive list of food choices, but ones that we were interested in. We ordered some hot beverages. I got my London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam). Black coffee, and Bright Sunny Day Fresh Juice. A couple of Breakfast Sandwiches and Avocado Toast. There was only one person working, so it took a little while to get everything made, but it was all prepared with care, and the sandwiches were warm. The pork sausage on the sandwich was ginger maple, but I didn't find it that flavorful. They had several hot sauces available (not a "hot" fan), and I added just a bit to give it some interest. Some kind of aioli would have been a nice option. The Avocado Toast was made with what looked like a spread and had quite a bit of pepper. The London Fog was very good, and they even provided me with the bit of extra that was in the frothing cup. Would stop again and give it another try.

The owner actually taught us a new game and encouraged addition people to play together (if they wanted) providing friend making opportunities! Inside is super sleek and inviting. Theres high tops and regular tables that can be pushed together. The street front is a lot of glass, allowing great sunlight in. They also have a ton of to go purchases, premixed loose leaf, bagged, and other tea accessories. Besides teas, there's also coffee, snacks, some beers, and soup of the day. The soup that day was a lentil curry. There was one tea pre iced, Tutti Fruity (strawberry, raspberry & honeybush). Since I'm difficult I asked to have it slightly sweetened, which was perfect. I later got the After Dinner (ginger, mint & licorice root) which was refreshing without being overpowering.
