    Snowy owl (seasonal specialty coffee)
    Ophelia M.

    I was utterly charmed by this darling coffee shop nestled in downtown Port Washington. My husband and I were headed on a day trip to Green Bay when we were in need of a bite and some caffeine for the road. Enter Java Dock Cafe. I ordered a bagel and one of their specialty lattes, assuming I'd have to take it to go as their space is so small and there weren't any tables that I could see. I was wrong! They have an adorable dining space on the second floor. If you're able to navigate a flight of stairs, you can definitely enjoy your coffee and bites in house. The asiago bagel and cream cheese was toasted and delicious. The latte was lovely and the service was wonderful. Zero complaints. I would definitely stop in here the next time I'm in the area. Get to it!

    Spacious, cute upstairs!

    I like to bike to coffee shops near Cedarburg and this year I discovered the Java Dock Cafe in Port Washington. When you walk in you will see a smaller area where you order...it's cute but be sure you go upstairs....You will find a large, bright, tasteful room with lots of tables and lots of windows. The Oatmilk Latte I got was good and the Raspberry scone delish. They also have a few outdoor tables and a walk up order window. Most importantly, all of the employees seemed to care (you can tell). The Java Dock Cafe is not on the main downtown street (it's around the corner) so be sure you don't miss it.

    You can almost miss this nice place in Port Washington. We came on a Monday morning, and landed here since there were limited options. We enjoyed the breakfast burritos and scones, as well as some crafty coffee drinks. The upstairs is indeed a nice quiet place.

    A friendly small coffee house with a variety of roasters (Valentine, Anodyne, Collectivo, Stone Creek). The Scones are are not overly sweet and taste fresh out of the oven. I would visit more often if they started offering a tasty egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. There is a walk up window, seating outside and indoor upstairs.

    My kind of place.. some treats and other beverages.. a window to serve the folks outside (not a drive up!)

    Good coffee, scones and pleasant staff. Walk up window for when we're walking the pups. It's exactly what I'm looking for in the morning.

    Since moving to Grafton, we've heard good things about Twisted Willow in Port Washington, and last…read morenight, we decided give dine there. The wife ordered Short Rib and I ordered Walleye. We both had French Onion Soup (three stars) and for desert, we ordered the Flourless chocolate cake. (3 stars) I was happy very happy with the Walleye dinner (Five Stars) Fresh and cooked just right. The roasted vegetables were excellent. We were not happy with the Short rib with mashed potatoes. The Short rib was dry and lacked flavor. It tasted like overcooked pot roast. Mashed potatoes were not much better. (2 1/2 stars at best). A very nice venue/restaurant both inside and out. Great location. Our server was just okay. She seemed to be just "going through the motions" and was not very engaging. (3 Stars). I think that the Twisted Willow is probably a good restaurant with quality food. Perhaps we just came in on a bad night for Short Rib and engaging service. We will most likely give them another try.

Get there early or you'll end up waiting. Don't drink? Too bad; if you don't get there early, you'll wait. Salad bar (which I love), not here. Muddled old fashioned, not here. Cozy atmosphere and solid customer service, definitely in the right place. We arrived with a veteran couple. They got us there early, understood the ordering routine and found us a place to sit. We ordered appetizers and drinks. Definitely get the onion rings as they are incredible! Drinks were solidly poured and reasonably priced. We ordered and were surprised by how quickly we were seated. The vegetable tray and bread basket were good. Our meals came out shortly after we were seated. The salads were nice sized and the blue cheese dressing with crumbles was great. Our entrees (ribeye, tenderloin with chicken, prime rib and fish) were all sized nicely and prepared as ordered. My dining partner said the chicken was some of their all-time favorite. My ribeye was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Our dining partners loved their choices. Overall, I'd really like to give 4.5 stars, but my pals at Yelp still don't trust half stars. We all enjoyed our experience and will definitely put this on our list of supper clubs to return to!

We tried multiple different cocktails, and loved each one. We all enjoyed our dinner entrees, which were beautifully plated. The service was top notch, even offering to take photos for us to remember our fun evening. Their menu appears to rotate often and is somewhat limited, so make sure to check the menu before you go if you are someone with specific food interests. We found the menu to offer multiple things each of us would enjoy. We can't wait to visit again!

The vibe is on point, low lighting, rustic - a versatile spot to go with girlfriends or for a date night. The wait staff is always attentive and informational, providing suggestions when we are looking for guidance on what to choose. This time around I went with a girlfriend and we decided to share a couple apps and an entre. We started with their seasonal burrata that was bursting with flavor. It was both savory and citrusy, a really nice compliment. We did have to order a side of bread with it, so that's one improvement the restaurant could make - bread is a necessity with a cheese dish! Next up we ordered their Mixed Greens Salad which was a perfect light & tangy salad with a little bit of sweetness. Highly recommend. Finally, we shared the seared walleye entree. I pretty much order fish everytime I come here because they cook it to perfection and it's something I can't make at home as easily. The walleye did not disappoint and was so flavorful and enough food for us to share. We ordered the perfect amount to split between the 2 of us. Can't wait to go back, keep up the good work!

The café occupies one end of the building. I stopped in with a friend for an early lunch, and what a great surprise this turned out to be. Food: Their menu contains regular items as well as some R&D (Research and Development) selections. R&D items are not your typical flavor combinations and are great choices if you like trying different things. We got a couple of hot beverages. My friend ordered the hot chocolate, and I decided to try the special Carrot Cake Chai (with fresh carrots and spices). The hot chocolate was expertly made. It was rich, had excellent foam, and featured special latte art. The Carrot Cake Chai had strong flavor and a wonderful creamy texture. It was a bit sweet for my tastes (and I like sweet), and I didn't finish it. I talked to the barista, and they said they could easily adjust the sweetness level by using one less pump of the syrup. For food, I got the Wisco Avocado Toast, and my friend ordered the Devil Egg Salad Sandwich. My toast was good, with a generous amount of fresh avocado. The grape tomatoes were flavorful, but there was a bit too much of the chili crisp seasoning. The side salad was a small mix of lettuce with a few sliced radishes. My friend really enjoyed the egg salad. It was fresh, flavorful, had the right amount of mayo, and came in a good portion. Service: Super friendly service from the staff. I got a lot of helpful suggestions from the person taking the order, and the barista did an amazing job with the drinks. They give you a number and deliver your meal to your table. Food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. Atmosphere: This place has a terrific layout. You can choose from several different seating areas. Some are set up for a quick meal, while others, like the upstairs area, feel more like a lounge. We sat in the back where there is a couch and several high-top tables. The place has an upscale yet casual feel to it. Before leaving, I picked up several of their sample packs of the most popular sauces: dark, white, and caramel. They will make great gifts for friends. Definitely a place worth checking out or visiting again.

I ordered a white hot chocolate & the "Lucky Pig" French Toast Bake bowl, and my husband ordered a regular hot chocolate & the Breakfast Champion bowl. Now, I love a good white hot chocolate (prefer it over normal hot cocoa), and maybe I set my expectations a little too high, but I found the white hot chocolate here was lacking flavor. Texture was creamy and frothy, and it was served in a nice ceramic mug, but I was disappointed that it looked better than it tasted. Their regular hot chocolate, on the other hand, was incredibly rich and flavorful. Smooth, velvety, divine chocolatey goodness. The bowls were also fantastic. The individual elements in the Lucky Pig bowl were each absolutely delicious. Together? A symphony in the mouth. Although initially I thought the portion was a tad small, it was plenty. The gingerbread brioche French toast bake was fluffy, spiced perfectly, and pleasingly sweet. The healthy helping of almond mascarpone cream that topped the bake was not overly sweet or tart, but had the right amount of cool, sweet tang with a delicate almond flavor. And the raspberry creme purée with almond streusel I could eat by the spoonful, it was that good. My husband found his Breakfast bowl to be equally satisfying, noting that his favorite part was the sausage & bacon crumble, which added the right amount of smokey-salty flavor to the whole dish. There were other things on the menu we'd like to try but that would be for future visits. We definitely will be back.
