The Red Onion Cafe — Restaurant in Racine

Updated Review - 12/30/23: My wife met a friend of ours for breakfast today at The Red Onion Cafe. I was surprised when she got home because she brought me my favorite… Bagels and Lox! Mmm!!! It was delicious! I get it almost every time I go there. As usual… I highly recommend The Red Onion Cafe! —————————————————————————— Updated Review - 3/18/23: We woke up and decided we wanted to go out for breakfast. It was the morning after St. Patrick’s Day, and we were hoping we could find somewhere that had corned beef and sauerkraut is some form or fashion for breakfast. We were in luck…. The Red Onion Cafe had a couple of specials…. The Reuben Omelet and the Reuben Quiche. WOW! They were both delicious!!! I also got my favorite drink…. The Cobra Chai Latte…. Mmmm!!! Everything was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. As usual, I would highly recommend The Red Onion Cafe! —————————————————————————- Updated Review - 12/30/22: Last minute, we decided to go out for breakfast. The first place we thought of was the Red Onion Cafe. It is only five minutes from our house…. Super convenient! We sat down and immediately saw our former neighbor and his son walking in. They sat with us. Five minutes later another neighbor and his wife walked in. That is what we like about the Red Onion…. it is GREAT neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious…. The atmosphere is great…. And the service is fast and friendly. We highly recommend The Red Onion Cafe! ————————————————————————— Updated Review - 12/1/23: We stopped in for a quick coffee and chai tea latte. They apologized for being short-handed... but we got our drinks in record time! The service is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Our drinks were perfect. Super hot... Just like we like them. I tried the Cobra Chai Tea Latte... SUPER delicious. It is a normal Chai Tea Latter with Hot Honey in it. We didn't get anything to eat... But I can tell you that everything I have ever got there is delicious! I will always recommend The Red Onion Cafe! One of my favorites! Updated Review - 8/27/22: Once again…. One of our favorite places to eat breakfast in Racine… on a Saturday morning. Easy to find, easy parking, great atmosphere, friendly fast service, and delicious food. What more could you ask for. Again, I highly recommend The Red Onion Cafe! —————————————————————————— Original Review - A fun place to eat on a Saturday morning. The food is delicious... The coffee is great... And the service is incredible! My favorite is the Bagels and Lox. I get it almost every time I eat there. My wife's favorite is the Door County Cherry French Toast. There are tables outside when the weather is warm. The Red Onion is open every day but Sunday... I wish it was open every day. I highly recommend...

The Red Onion Cafe has delicious breakfast, Great quality coffee, and excellent staff. I feel inclined to mention a slight blunder I had shortly before writing this review.

I occasionally come to Red Onion to purchase a torpedo ( basically three or four espresso shots and ice) and a caramel macchiato for my mom. This day was no different. As I made my purchase, I went home looking at my cup in suspicion and concluded that I had half the amount I purchased (8oz. in a 16oz. cup). I returned to the cafe prepared to express my disappointment and frustration.

As I stated my grievances, the young lady was attentive and professional. She attempted to explain to me with the cup sizes, unfortunately I was still not getting it and continued to argue. Another young lady came to assist and explained the (now) glaringly obvious detail that espresso shots are not that high in volume and very potent in caffeine. They had, in fact, gave me the correct amount for my purchase. I feel foolish, but I also feel refreshed to see how well they solved the problem on the spot. My only excuse is I should've had a sip of that torpedo before I tried to start a debate.

On another note; I suggest trying the scrambled eggs with toast, its a solid breakfast to...

First time here. Stopped in after a nice bike ride along the lake. Checked out the reviews before hand and everyone seemed to love the food/place. I would agree. It's located on the ground floor of an office building. During normal business hours you can access it through the building main entrance, but it was saturday and you enter through a side door on the south side. The dining area is nice, but not especially cozy. (why atmosphere is 4 stars) It was nearly noon and the place was starting to get busy. The staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. It was past breakfast we ordered a sandwich and salad. A TAB, Turkey, Apple and Bacon sandwich, with curry spread. And a Smoked Turkey, Apple and Cranberry Salad. Both were excellent. The roll with the salad was just okay (a piece of baguette would have been an improvement). Overall, a great...
