This food was horrific, spent $40 on two coffees and 3 sandwiches. The coffees were bitter and flavorless, also were charged an extra dollar per coffee to get a single pump of French vanilla flavoring we couldn’t taste. The sandwiches were soggy and smelled incredibly like fermentation. You can see the microwaves they cook everything in right when you walk through the door. The chicken on these sandwiches was as thin as cardboard and tasted that way. Asked for a refund and was only retuned the money for the coffees which was $10 we used to get gas station coffee instead. Never go here for it’s a waste of every cent you spend.

Great sandwiches and desserts! I was shocked at how quickly they were able to turn around an order for takeout. Both staff members I’ve met have been very friendly.

I used to love love love coming here for the fresh salads and delicious soups for lunch during work. Last few times there’s been mishaps where I would have to mention something but today… I give up. Cheese was becoming liquified (I didn’t have a creamy dressing) and a few tomatoes had fuzz. 🙁

I’ll begin by saying that this is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to write a review about a negative restaurant experience, but the entire thing is so blatantly disrespectful that I just had to speak up.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch. Friendly and courteous young men were working. Great atmosphere. I ordered the Prima Cobbler, which was delicious. My husband ordered the Italian Beef Su Prima, but didn’t really care for it-not much flavor.

Been coming here for the best cup of coffee for over 10 years. Always enjoyed the atmosphere and the people. However, your barista doesn’t know how to make a breve, doesn’t even know what’s in it. Perhaps maybe you need a new barista. Worst cup of coffee. Taken from a pot made with milk. Won’t be going back if you can’t better train your employees. I understand being new at a job, but leaving someone out there not knowing what he is doing is really not a good plan.

Located in a charming area downtown. Love this place! Has 3 tables outdoors and limited seating indoors. Coffee, desserts, breakfast bakery, soups, and a wide variety of sandwhiches…all fresh and from scratch! Both of our choices were great! PLUS frozen meals & soups! Always a stop when driving through Wausau.

First I tried to call and order but no one answered the phone. When we arrived, We ordered three cold sandwiches and was about a 35 min wait. I would rate the service as trying but inexperienced. Sandwiches were so so and my coffee was cold.

Croissants were delicious but the Italian beef “piled high with peppers on a crispy bun” had 4 green peppers, no cheese, and definitely not crispy bread.

This place used to survive on the off campus lunch crowd from Wausau east (the old building). Since then its transformed itself into a coffee shop but maintained the menu that it used to have. Overall its one of the better places to go in town for an informal lunch or a place to read and use wifi.
