Baked oatmeal
Nabila M.

Stooped by for breakfast before heading home from camping. We ordered coffee which was great, love the self serve coffee station. I ordered the baked oatmeal which i absolutely love and wow it was scrumptious! I want to come back just for this oatmeal. My bf ordered their breakfast sandwich which had an aoili and it was soooooo good. We will definitely come back to this cafe. Again the baked oatmeal was chef's kiss!

Flight - this $&@! Just got serious, Zanzibar , cotton candy twist, yippee skippee

I stopped by on a Saturday for a quick ice ctream. I went for a flight as always. This $&@! Just got serious, and Zanzibar were my favorite flavors. Cotton candy twist and yippee skippee were good flavors as well. There were some video games as well. At noon time, there were no players. So I did some car racing as well.

Spinach artichoke panini

Visited again this weekend and tried their nitro cold brew for the first time, it was delicious! If you enjoy good coffee please go order this. I now plan to go get it anytime I'm in the area. I haven't found a better cold brew in the Madison area yet.

Anne's ciabatta sandwich, black tea, Breakfast Combo
Debi O.

We went to the McFarland house for breakfast while on a little getaway to the area, and it was definitely worth the stop! I'll start off saying the coffee was really good! I had the breakfast sandwich with egg, tomato and goat cheese and my companion had the traditional breakfast with eggs, bacon, and toast. Both were really well prepared and very tasty! You order from the counter and your food is delivered to you right from the kitchen. It was a very nice place to eat, a great casual vibe. It lad a really nice somewhat industrial interior, very nice place to sit and eat and chat. Oh and the iced tea and iced mocha to go were great as well! We will be back for breakfast again this week!

Cute historic home has vintage feel inside with a separate garage turned into ice cream shop. Great prices on coffees and well made by their staff. Menu is seasonal, limited and a little pricey for the portions. You can tell they use good ingredients and keep it simple.

Blueberry muffin & herbal tea
Ericka B.

Stopped here to grab lunch and an afternoon snack on a Friday. There was actually a pretty steady crowd for 2pm! The woman who took our order was super friendly and drinks were made promptly. I got the unsweetened berry iced tea, which was just what I was looking for. It was nice to see that they also had a couple of options of iced teas. I also got the blueberry muffin, which had a decent flavor, but was a little crumbly from dryness. My friends all got sandwiches and they said it was exactly what they were looking for. Great selection and flavor! We also went to the other building which houses the Ice cream parlor and an arcade! Large selection of ice cream, sorbet, and bars and ice cream sandwiches. Everyone went away happy, full, and cooled off from the heat! We'll definitely have to add this into the restaurant rotation.

A historical landmark coffee shop. Friendly atmosphere, lovely places to sit outside and inside. They also had a small icecream place next door. Like going back in time. Not super disabled friendly but worth a visit.

Smoked Trout Salad BLT with Broccoli Slaw and Chips
Sarah C.

A quaint cafe with plenty of beverage and food options. My friend and I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. We walked into the cafe and picked up a paper menu next to the entrance. The first thing we noticed was that their breakfast options ended at 11am, but no worries there was a variety of pastries, sandwiches, paninis, wraps, burritos, soups and salads to choose from. Don't forget to look at the specials written by the cash register! That's how I decided on the smoked trout sandwich. It sounded too good to pass up. My friend chose the smoked trout toast which was another special. We browsed the extensive drink menu - coffee, tea, non caffeinated beverages, smoothies, rishi tea, and I believe I saw some alcoholic beverages in the fridge. My friend settled on a cortado and myself with tap water. The person at the register was friendly and kind. We proceeded to find a seat at one of the high top tables. There were plenty of seats available. One thing I first noticed when sitting down was that there were usb and power outlets on the table lamps. The convince of the outlets is a huge plus for those who require them. Once seated we only waited a couple of minutes before our food arrived. Everything was fantastic! We both loved the smoked trout. With the smoked trout sandwich it came with delicious broccoli slaw with the perfect amount of mayo. There was a fresh pickle spear and a decently large portion of chips as well. We devoured our meals and both agreed that our lunch hit the spot. Overall I enjoyed my experience at the McFarland Cafe. I will 100% return!! I would love to try one of their coffees and another sandwich the next time. The ambiance was a perfect casual spot for any time of the day. They have anything from a snack to a full meal to keep you satisfied. There are plenty of tables with outlets for those who come to study. There are bike racks outside and street parking is ample. This is the perfect spot for your next meal :)

Just what I was looking for. In need of a little comfort food and they did not disappoint. Incredibly cute place, friendly service and yummy veg sandwich. I just love it that breakfast is served all day!

Waubesa Chicken Salad
Sarah L.

Mixed feelings on McFarland House! I stopped for a post-hike coffee and lunch (was hoping for breakfast sandwich but they stop serving those at 11). I decided on a small caramel macchiato and the Waubesa chicken salad. The macchiato was alright, a little too sweet for my taste. I appreciated having a real mug. The salad was okay. It originally came without chicken, and I felt bad asking for it even though the chicken is in the name. They quickly resolved the problem, which was good, although it seemed like the chicken was just sitting in the kitchen and was quite cold. It tasted pretty packaged. The salad was otherwise alright, greens were alright with plentiful fruit. Vinaigrette also a little sweeter than I'd like so I'm glad it was on the side. Decent service, but for $20 (including tip) I was a little disappointed. Maybe will try it someday for breakfast!

S@$* just got serious and door county cherry (back) and cake batter fudge and pb hearts chocolate (front)

See all
