Hear from our valued guests
Food is always exceptional, the staff & service are wonderful. We've tried a few things from their menu & have not had any complaints. Best breakfast potatoes in town, our kids love the berry blast pancakes and the cheese cream stuffed pancakes are delish! The serving portions are generous & totally worth the buck.
Wow! Delicious food and a great atmosphere with wonderful service! I loved my pancakes! Fresh squeezed OJ and other amazing drinks too!
What a spot! Awesome menu with great choices you don’t see elsewhere. I’m a huge Benedict fan and they had all kinds of great options to choose. I was getting overwhelmed. My wife got the sweet potato beef hash and it was great. Great food, awesome place to sit down for breakfast, and kind service. We took lemon ricotta pancakes to go and they were also so good! One of the top breakfast places we’ve been to!
First time here with 2 friends and we were very pleased. They were very busy, but still managed to get us in within 10 minutes. The waitress and staff were friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and enough for 2 to share or take home leftovers for another meal at home.
The best breakfast you'll ever have! Era Cafe has consistently provided the most delicious breakfast meals and unbeatable service. It's hard to choose what to eat off of the menu when you go here since everything is so good, but you can't go wrong with any of their pancakes, french toast, or crepes. My favorite has to be the strawberry tres leches pancakes, which are so thick, fluffy, and rich that they're to die for, but everything on their menu is delicious. If you're in the area, definitely check Era Cafe out. The delicious food, exceptional service, and relaxing atmosphere make it the ideal place to have a great breakfast/brunch!
Excellent customer service. Waitperson was very attentive. Delicious decaf and regular coffee. The pancakes were delicious and huge! The French Toast was very good. Nice, warm maple syrup is served. Breakfast is served all day. Pancakes. Waffles, Crepes, omelets, oatmeal, etc. Gluten free options available. Highly recommend.
My server Daisy H was fantastic. Helpful, friendly, and fast. The food was tasty and well prepared. I was at first expecting to feel cramped due to the time of day for a breakfast restaurant but the layout was well designed and never felt uncomfortable. All in all nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Thank you Daisy for making my day that little bit better.
Absolutely delicious, as usual! This is a great place to grab breakfast or brunch. They are always busy, so it’s never a bad idea to call ahead to see if you can get on a waiting list. We waited about 15 minutes at 10 am on a Sunday, so not bad at all. I ordered the Latin skillet and substituted for veggie chorizo, and they did not do an up charge, which was awesome! They also have lots of gluten free options and even made the tiramisu pancakes gluten free for our friends, which was an added bonus! A final, extra bonus for us, was that the prices are very reasonable for a breakfast place. All around awesome experience!
We're from Appleton and had come to visit Rib Mountain and make a day of it in the Wausau area. We searched 'highly-rated brunch spots' in Wausau, and Era Cafe popped up. They are very deserving of the high rating: the food was delicious, the portions were substantial, the service was excellent, and the vibe was warm and inviting. We arrived around 12:30, and it was busy, which is to be expected on a beautiful Saturday--but the wait wasn't bad at all (I think we were seated within 15 minutes of giving our name). I had the ham, gruyere, and onion egg skillet with a side pancake that I shared with my boyfriend--- I highly recommend it all! <chef's kiss> The pancake was so fluffy and delicious. My boyfriend had the Era omelette with double fruit (instead of toast or pancake since we shared mine) and said it was delicious. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Wausau.
Husband and I decided to try something new for breakfast the other day, and decided to try Era for the first time. I was impressed from walking in to leaving! The building is stunning the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming! We were greeted right away. And seated. Our waitress was a super sweet Hispanic woman she was so funny and personable I wish I would have got her name! She made the experience that much better! We ordered macchiatos and I Ordered the breakfast bagel with the side of hashbrowns and my husband ordered the era omelette with breakfast potatoes… We both gave the food a 10 out of 10 not only did it come out super quick, but it was the perfect temperature. The perfect flavor and the presentation was gorgeous as well.!! I usually don’t go so in depth with my reviews, but this place was a 10 out of 10 hands-down!! It was a little expensive, but we also have a large family so we don’t have much for funds to begin with, But you get what you pay for and that is such a true statement with this place! We will definitely be coming back. I just wish it could be sooner.!! Delicious!
