Simple Cafe

Decided to come to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for a quick b-day getaway. On our last day there, I saw this place on Yelp and the food looked good so decided to try them on 12/1/24, a lazy cold Sunday morning. I was a little nervous because many of the reviews talked about having to wait awhile to be seated. We lucked up, this wasn't our situation as they seated us right away. It was packed in there. We got to sit by the window which was the perfect spot. At the particular time we got there, we didn't have to pay the metered parking which was sweet but please, make sure you check if you happen to park in those spaces to make sure you don't get a ticket. Our female waitress was wonderful - friendly, kind and very attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our food. Breakfast is served all day which I love places that do. Our food was delicious! Everything was fresh! Pancakes were so yummy and yes, they were just as good, buttery and fluffy as my picture shows! Homemade chicken sausage was really good. The red potatoes I really liked - they sauteed it with green onions which really gave it a good flavor (I want to try this at home and see if I can come close to how theirs were). The eggs get a paragraph all to themselves. My God! Those were the best eggs I have had in my life, do you hear me? They had to have just gotten those from a chicken - even the orangish-yellowish coloring of the eggs were different. I wanted to order more eggs but I couldn't fit it anywhere in my belly - I was too full :(I really enjoyed my meal and hubby did too as he had the Korean BBQ Breakfast Bowl. Both of our plates were clean when we finished. I definitely want to return here. They have a bakery next door should you want to treat yourself to a sweet.Simple Cafe, there is nothing Simple about you! Thank you for adding to our wonderful trip to Lake Geneva. A++++ all around in our books! Thanks so much!

Picked my Mom up on a whim on a Monday morning and asked where to go eat. She moaned there wasn't much in her area (Waterford), and she wasn't wrong! Yelp led us on a short 15 minute drive to Lake Geneva and Simple Cafe. Yelpers weren't wrong either!! Wonderful service, tasty good food, reasonably priced menu items, and all-round good vibes!! She'll be back!!

I bnb love simple cafe, but there are parts to it that isn't for everyone. My husband was super unhappy with the menu not having basic staple breakfast like biscuits and gravy. His thoughts are that this establishment is a bit more on the hipster end, which is not his vibe. If you're into clean, healthier food, this is the place. If I could change one thing, they need a liquor license. It's not brunch without a Bloody Mary or mimosa, lol. My favorite is the turkey hash, super delicious.

Stopped by in Sunday morning at 11 AM and they were busy! We only had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for a table. It was tight inside. They have seating that is kind of cramped but not too bad (more for the servers than the diners). The menu is full of interesting choices! Our server was very friendly, and our food came out quick. I had the mashed potato omelette. The hollandaise sauce was probably the best part. Otherwise it was very mild flavors. The pancakes, however - wow! They were perfect! Fluffy, light and delicious. We didn't realize the bakery was not part of the café. It's actually accessed via a separate entrance in the front of the building.

This restaurant was highly recommended to us for our weekend visit to Lake Geneva. We put our name in and grabbed coffee and a pastry at their sister bakery next door. It was the perfect treat while we waited for our table. We waited about 20 minutes on a Saturday morning. The restaurant is painted with bright colors and the vibe is lively. We had the chilaquiles and the breakfast tacos which were both delicious, had lots of flavor and were good portions. There are so many other dishes I wanted to try to on the menu, so we will definitely be back on our next visit to Lake Geneva!

I've been coming here for years and think it is the best brunch spot in LG! Definitely prepare for a wait though. On my most recent visit, we seemed to wait forever to be seated, even though we saw tons of open tables. The food is mainly farm to table and very fresh. I tried the chilaquiles for the first time and they were on the spicy side but still very tasty. Some of my favorites are the Korean bbq bowl, pumpkin pancakes, and corned beef hash, but you really can't go wrong with anything. If you can't get a table, definitely head to the attached bakery next door for an almond croissant.

So, so good! My kids and I went in for brunch. It is a very cute cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the eggs Benedict, simple breakfast sandwich, and eggs sardou. Everything was absolutely delicious! We will definitely go back again.

This is a pretty good breakfast place! We went there for a family breakfast before heading back to Chicago. And it did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and fast, the food was tasty and on point. Nothing that's going to blow you away but what they do is quality. I got the eggs Benedict and I enjoyed it. If I lived in this town or came through again, definitely would stop by.

Thoughtful and simple food! I stopped in on a rainy and dreary day, and nothing fits the bill better than a grilled cheese and soup. The grilled cheese is on housemade bread that is hearty. Great selection of cheese to put in your grilled sando, and I chose Gruyère. The tomato soup is simple, creamy PERFECTION. Service was prompt and friendly. Busy, but excellent hospitality!

Came in for a weekend brunch/lunch. This place can get busy and we had a 40 minute wait for a table. This has a relaxed ambiance and was good for a family (we had a 2 and 4 year old). There are lots of good options on the menu. Pancakes are nice a fluffy. The chicken and corn omelette had really good flavor as does the quinoa corn fritters.
