Jesters Coffee — Restaurant in Brookfield

Recently, I started physical therapy in Brookfield and nearly every time I went, I would pass this cute little shack called Jester’s Coffee. Always eager to try a new coffee shop, I decided to stop in. Unfortunately, both the atmosphere and the food left a lot to be desired.

Walking in, I wish Jester’s had more charm to match their whimsical namesake. The interior was bare with grey muted tones, and worn down leather seating. For a coffee shop and cafe, I wish they had more treats on display.

In terms of food, I ordered a Turkish Latte and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I decided to eat inside and everything was out relatively quickly.

Unfortunately, not only did I not enjoy my food, I was actually disgusted by it. The Turkish Latte was generally fine, albeit lacking in true flavor.

As much as I like the people who work here, I can't keep coming to this place if they don't have what their customers want and it takes almost three times as long...

When I went in for a sandwich last Saturday afternoon, there were three girls working behind the counter. They were more concerned with talking to each other, and not completely about work, than tending to customers. The one who took my order was not fully engaged in what she was doing; therefore, not surprisingly, the order came out wrong. I told her three times "no tomatoes" please. Of course, when I opened up the sandwich, there were tomatoes. I asked for onions and black pepper - didn't get those.

Other than that, the decor and atmosphere of the place were quaint, it was clean, and the...
