Divine. We were…read moreenjoying a week in the north woods when I noticed Braise North and wondered if they were affiliated with Braise in Milwaukee--they are! They're only open Friday evenings and Sat-Sun. We stopped by on a Saturday morning and got the best meal of our trip. They're a cute spot with a lovely little indoor dining room as well as a patio. We opted to dine outdoors on the sunny Saturday morning we were there. I ordered the frittata and a caramel latte made with almond milk. The frittata came with a lightly dressed salad on the side. The salad was fine but the frittata was out of this world delicious. It was buttery with creamy goat cheese that was beautifully sharp and flavorful. My caramel latte was the best cup of coffee of my trip (so good with wonderfully rich espresso). My only hope is that they'll eventually expand their hours as I would have happily been in there every morning of my trip. They are a wine bar in the evenings as well (though we didn't stop by for that). The service was good if a bit disjointed (we received our meals and finished them before our coffee came out). But, aside from that small snag--exemplary all the way around. Get to it!

HIDDEN GEM ALERT…read more We've stopped here a few times for various chocolates, candies, and of course their ridiculously delicious homemade pies. I highly recommend the Dutch apple or blueberry which you can get frozen from the back. They also have a rotating fresh pie. Also huge selection of local jams with tons of flavors. Haven't tried them out for their other baked goods, mixes (ie soup, cookies, etc) or fresh deli meats and cheese but this place has it all!!! Extremely reasonable prices, friendly people and just a great local shoppe we love supporting!

First of all... when the waitress tells you that the portions are huge... believe her! I ordered…read morethe pancakes with blueberries (so many blueberries) and they were so delicious and massive! Literally plate size! My husband's 3 egg omelette was also massive. the service was good and the place was quaint. Also very affordable! It was quiet and slow but this is probably off season for them.

Sunday breakfast. The parking lot was full (with every vacationer going home from their weekend in…read morethe north woods). There was a sign on the door that said something like "we are understaffed, please be nice to those who did show up for work". We were weary that it might be a while, or it may not be worth the wait. Well, it was anything but a long wait. Maybe 5 mins, and we were at our seats. And as far as lack of staff, I sure didn't see it! Looked like (at least in my opinion) there were plenty of staff. I did find it a little weird that our waitress asked us to wait until she got our drinks before we could hit the breakfast buffet. The buffet was $13 (I think) and it was well stocked and the food was good. Maybe 6 main items, but all were tasty... especially the scrambled eggs and bacon. (If you are like me, who likes his bacon a little underdone (not crispy) you will love the bacon.) The buffet itself is a bit of a bottle neck because they have pancakes, fruit and some desserts on an added table on the end, which makes an "L" in the buffet line. This creates a back up at times at the buffet, but it's only a bit of a hold up. One of the people in my group ordered off the menu and she said her French Toast was very good. The food arrived pretty quickly, which was nice because she had food timely enough that she got to eat, and finish eating, with the rest of us. Would recommend this restaurant for its buffet and for those who want to order of the menu. I wouldn't let the busy parking lot keep you away. Things moved pretty quickly.

We bought a bunch of coffee beans that were so much cheaper than in Chicago: Colombian, Guatemalan, Costa Rican, and Brazilian beans. This shop has plenty of things to window-shop and buy.

As a coffee spot, it's much closer to 1-2 stars. In a recent trip to the area, I stopped by here twice. The first time the espresso drink (latte) I ordered was a solid ok. It wasn't good but wasn't bad. The second time, the espresso beverage I ordered (again a latte) was bitter and pretty terrible (I actually didn't bother finishing it). My dining companion had a similar issue. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. If they could get their coffee game dialed in--this would be a home run of a spot. Who doesn't love a little coffee while perusing a gift shop? As it stands now, though--just ok.
