    Chocolate peanut butter scone and psl
    Brooke A.

    Coffee was tasty but could have been a little hotter in my opinion. Peanut butter chocolate scone was delicious but also could have been warmed up for a better experience. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Still a handful of people lingering half hour before closing. Lots of seating options. Enjoyed the fire pit outside.

    Very cute little cafe that has delicious food and drinks. It's a bit expensive then I'd prefer, but the ambiance is great with a good mix of indoor and outdoor areas (couches, tables, bars, etc). Staff are really nice and goofy. It seems like it'd be a great study/meeting area. There's a little bit of parking as well. P.S. Pictures doesn't do it justice.

    Nice location with a small outdoor dining patio on the River. Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Nicely renovated old style building. A definite good stop for a morning beverage.

    A wonderful spot along the Milwaukee river for a coffee and a patio hang. The place has great vibes and a huge menu so looking forward to coming back soon to try more!

    Iced chai latte

    Love sitting out by the river enjoying a latte and muffin. The choco pumpkin muffin with oat flour was so good. Chai latte could use more spice, but it was okay.

    Fiddleheads is a great local coffee shop. This review is specifically for the Mequon location, however the Shorewood location is also great! (Those are the only 2 I've personally been to). The Mequon locations has an abundance of seating between their indoor seating, their heated glass enclosure (that also opens up for the summer time) and their outdoor patio. Located right next to the river, it makes for a scenic morning cup of joe. Their black coffee has good flavor, but I am a big fan of their breve lattes. Both my fiancée and I also love their breakfast sandwiches when we feel like treating ourselves. It's slightly pricier for a latte than some of the other coffee shops, however the quality is worth it.

    Whatever the little main street area of Thiensville might lack ever so slightly in the adorably charming factor (see: Cedarburg), in my mind it makes up for in convenience. Its slightly closer to get to from downtown, and the little yellow cottage with wraparound porch that houses the coffee shop is a block or so off the interurban trail. They have coffee and tea and all the drinks (lattes, chai, etc) one might expect. They also have smoothies, sandwiches (breakfast and otherwise) soups, baked goods, wraps, etc. Everything you might expect from a coffee shop. Theres outdoor seating on the little porch, as well as a number of tables and Adirondack chairs out back on a really beautiful patio facing the river. Inside its more like a little house, cottage-y like you'd find in a British mystery novel (or something). Staff has always been very pleasant and accommodating. A bike rack and parking lot are adjacent. The sign out front lists summer hours to 6:30 pm. I'm a fan - 4 stars.

    The new patio addition to Fiddleheads looks awesome!

    Sometimes perfection can be found in simplicity and that's just what this location has. Sitting by the river and enjoying a cup of their terrific coffee or one of their delicious sandwiches can make you forget you're right on Thiensville's Main St. but enjoying a seat in their quaint cafe during the cold months, which is most of them, can provide the same relaxation. And if that weren't enough, their new fire-place-heated patio, complete with garage doors on all three sides should do the trick.

    First and last time coming here! Should have just gone to Collectivo like usual. The lady at the counter was rude, no one in line behind us and she rushed our order. I didn't even end up getting what I wanted because she didn't give us time :(. Cookie was dry and had been sitting out all day. She didn't let me sign my receipt and I'm suspicious she added an undeserved tip. I don't think this new remodel can mask the rudeness. Don't make the mistake I did- GO TO COLLECTIVO!!!

The interior is huge, allows for a variety of seating, including the patio, has a butcher next door and provides both pastries and coffee at this location. The cases were filled to the brim with beautiful pastries of all kinds - both savory and sweet - handmade and absolutely delicious! We opted for a box of 6 pastries, ranging in taste and size, and my Honey Almond latte and I was in literal heaven. The pastries are HUGE and we happily split with family. The coffee was a little sweet but hit the spot! Although it's a little pricy, it's worth every single penny for the thoughtful service and quality of ingredients/items! YUMMMM!

    Date of visit: January 11, 2026…read more The latest edition of our monthly bakery stops brought us to Interurban Coffeehouse, the rare Foxtown outlet that doesn't actually have "fox" in the name. Points for the name, borrowed from the nearby trail and surely eliciting squeals of delight from the old school train crowd! Front of the house staff were very friendly and patiently explained the different pastry options on offer--many of which looked amazing. First we went with breakfast; my brioche egg sandwich was quite good though my husband found his english muffin sandwich to be bland and unremarkable. Unfortunately, their food system needs some work. I ordered the sandwiches for dine in with my name. The kitchen staff prepares the orders, hurriedly mumbles a name on their way out of the kitchen and unless you are standing in the right spot to hear him, you don't know if that's your order or not. Making matters worse, our food was prepped to go. Staff did offer to plate it, but it seemed silly to also dirty dishes and plastic containers so we declined the offer. The pastries are really where Interurban shines! I had half of my husband's cinnamon roll three days later and it was amazing. Like Costco cinnamon roll amazing. And my roasted pineapple cheese danish was phenomenal the next day hot out of the toaster oven! I was going to take a picture but I devoured it before my wits were totally about me, so you'll just have to take my word on that one.

My husband joined me on the trip and picked up some high-quality cinnamon. This will not be our last trip. Hope to see you soon, Lisa! Make sure you have the time to peruse all of their wares and if you have a moment you can sit in a comfy nook to check out The Food Network. If I have the time, I'd definitely check out their spices and get inspired for my evening meal. Next time, I plan on trying the sweet onion sugar as a glaze for my next ham. The hubs was impressed with their salt and pepper selections.

I normally get a London Fog Tea Latte, and they used to be very good. These last couple of times, it's as if they steep the tea and then add warmed milk to it. No foam, no creamy texture. Just a mug of tea with flat warm milk. So this time I took my drink back and talked to the barista. I showed her the drink, and she acknowledged that it definitely was not very creamy or foamy. But here is the part that really floored me. She said that they use an "auto steamer" (which is a steaming and frothing device used by larger coffee chains) and that there was nothing they could do about this situation. Seriously? They then just looked at me with blank stares. Totally bizarre for a small local shop that considers itself to be unique and focused on quality.

Food: I checked online before coming, and they have an impressive list of drinks, both hot and cold. We ordered a couple of lattes. Mine was a London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla) in a mug, and hers was a Coffee Vanilla Latte with almond milk. They did a great job with both of them. My London Fog had great flavor, well-textured foam, and was a good temperature. They did leave the tea bag in, which might be their standard practice, but I prefer the tea to be fully steeped and then have the bag removed. Otherwise, removing the bag later messes with all the wonderful foam (next time I would ask). Each of us got a scone. Mine was blueberry, and hers was white chocolate raspberry, warmed up and plated. Both were very good. If I had to be completely honest, these scones are more like muffins than traditional scones. However, they were both delicious. Service: As soon as we walked up to the counter, it was nothing but friendly vibes and helpful service. They stepped us through the details of the order ("whole milk okay, how much flavor, etc."). They didn't rush the orders and took their time getting them right. When the bakery items were heated up, they brought them to our table. I always got the feeling that they truly appreciated us being there. Atmosphere: The building is a quaint, wonderfully maintained historic brick building. There are café tables outside that would be great on a warmer day. When you enter, you are taken back in time. The vibe is authentic and relaxed. Much of the interior looks like it may be from long ago. It's a bit cluttered, which could be distracting, but I think it fits. There are enough windows to bring in a good amount of natural light. The counter has a large array of pastries, muffins, cookies, etc. The main area doesn't have a lot of seating, and I did find it a bit loud. There is a separate seating area toward the back with several more tables and much less noise, which is where we sat. A very good first visit. Would definitely come back again.
