Brewer’s Two catered my bridal shower at the Loft on the Lake - right down the street from them off Pewaukee Lakefront! One of the things that really caught our eye was their ‘Espresso Bar’ that fit perfect with my “Love is Brewing” theme. The café itself is very cozy and has a warm atmosphere. Mckena was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to planning for our event. She helped us pick out various sandwiches and wraps, a pastry assortment, and fruit and veggie platters that would cover our guest count of about 50 people. She was also very mindful and reassuring of guests who may have allergies. The day of my bridal shower, she and another team member, James, brought over and set up the entire espresso bar and beautiful food platters. They were so efficient in making different types of drinks for guests throughout the shower, replacing empty food trays, and cleaning up after guests so they could continue carrying conversations, participate in the games, etc. In the end, all we had to do was return a couple of utensils! We received a ton of compliments about their food and service from guests. We are so, so happy with our experience with the...
Read moreService off the bat was awesome. We stared at the menu awhile and the counter person was wonderfully patient and accommodating. We ordered the green detox smoothie, iced strawberries & cream, and vanilla frappe with almond milk. Food smelled so delicious. The ham and egg croissant was toasty and flaky. Ham was very good. Tuna salad sandwich was pretty good. The celery adds a nice depth missed at some concepts. Bread was a whole grain and was okay. Nothing special. Preliminary thoughts on tomato and cheese grilled sandwich were not toasted enough and the cheese was not completely melted. Unfortunately deprived of a cheese pull. Good seasonings, though, just wished it was toasted and melted more. The savory scones served with the soup are very good and maybe my favorite part of the visit, honestly. Can i buy just those? :D The mushroom soup was okay. Quality in between diner and something fancier. I did not dislike it, but not the best thing on the table. I did not like the chicken cordon bleu soup. It had an off putting flavor, perhaps the mix between whatever swiss type cheese flavor they were going for. Scones still great though! All in all...
Read moreTwo of us stopped by in the afternoon on Monday hoping to grab some coffees and a late lunch. It looked like a nice place in a nice location. Plenty of parking, and near the beach.
The signs stated that food was served until 3:00pm; but the cashier somewhat rudely stated that the kitchen was closed (this was 2:45pm to 2:50pm). We ended up ordering a scone, a blended mocha coffee, and an iced coffee.
I was disappointed by the taste of both coffees - it had a very "burned" coffee bean taste to them, as if they were over-roasted. The orange and blueberry scone was okay, but I honestly didn't get much orange flavor.
During our relatively short stay, two other patrons separately entered and tried to order food but were both told that they were too late and that the kitchen had already closed for the day. We intended to finish the scone in the store, but were a little frustrated with the workers' attitudes and audible comments as they scrolled through their phones on instagram. We left at approximately 3:00pm.
I'm unlikely to return to this location to give it...
