Wow! I was thoroughly excited for a new spot for breakfast in Kenosha. KTOWN cafe has some great menu options. Menu is very similar to Meli Cafe in Racine, and I LOVE that place, so i was excited Kenosha has a similar offering.
I walk in, there are two waittresses going to and fro the counter in a disordely fashion. Im not sure if its self seating or assigned seating, so i wait by the door for a greeting. No greeting came after 30 sec. I see they're still moving, so i enter in further waiting for a greeting or ins(truction. Still nada.
I walk right across thier trailway, and enter all the way towards the register. Thinking "is this where they greet people?" They still didnt. They were literally behind the counter & i was in front. ...still. not. even. a. nod.
They appeared busy with figuring out an error with a users payment. But they both seemed to purposefully ignore me completely.
I then noticed my takout order on the stand next to me. I grabbed it and headed out with not even a glance from the waitresses.
Once I got a chance to dig in, the steak breakfast bowl with eggs, potatoes, onions, & peppers was quite flavorful & delicious. The blueberry pancakes were ok.
I've seen this location go from a coffee shop, to a deli place, back to a coffee shop, then a burger joint, and now its a cafe. Based on the service complaints I experienced and see others complain about, the breakfast cafe won't last long either!
Maybe it was a bad day, maybe they normally dont greet guests walking in, but its highly unlikely...
Read moreBased on all the positive reviews, we were excited to try this cafe on the north side, however after trying it we were underwhelmed by the food and service. Maybe we just went when they were having a bad day. Like other reviews stated, the ventilation system needs improved. We reeked of the restaurant cooking fumes when we left. It was super strong and off putting. The food was just ok. I had a veggie skillet and substituted hashbrowns for the diced potatoes with eggs over easy and iced tea. The tea was great. Service was prompt, not overly friendly but efficient. The eggs were cooked as ordered, but the thin layer of veggie medley seemed like it came from a bag of frozen vegetables and was under cooked and barely room temperature with very little hashbrowns or cheese. It looked great but the cold temperature and crisp, under heated veggies were meh. I would have sent it back, if our server had checked on us after delivering the food, however this wasn’t the case. My hubby had the breakfast wrap and diced potatoes. Again, looked great but just ok. It wasn’t served hot either. We might have given this restaurant another chance with different menu choices, except the smell of the place was on us all day and...
Read moreThe food was very good, and came out quickly. Unfortunately the service wasn't great. We walked in to be stared at by the 4 women working without a greeting. Had to approach them and ask where we should sit. There were only 3 other tables sat and yet the server took 10 minutes to come over for an initial drink order. By this time we were ready to order our meals as well. Our server then proceeded to walk around chatting with other workers and sprucing up her lipstick. 2 more tables came in during that time and they were given drinks by the host and orders taken (still no drinks to us). Finally was able to catch her attention and ask for our drinks. She brought them out and the food came out at the same time. Never saw our server at our table again. Another server brought us the bill. Since the food was good, maybe we'll try this place again in a few months/year if they're...
