Café Agora

Cafe Agora! What a fantastic spot to start your day! First things first — the coffee here is on point. And the breakfast? Just as impressive. The omelets were cooked to perfection, and I don’t know why, but the breakfast potatoes were so good — seriously, a must-try! Shoutout to Crystal, who was super attentive and made sure our coffee never ran out. We’ll definitely be back soon! ☕🍳

The crowd was great, the wait was short. We were promptly greeted by our waitstaff. Food came in a timely manner. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a must have! Extremely delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend!

Hanna was awesome! It was our first time here. The apple french toast was a wonderful surprise, in both taste and appearance. We will come back! Only one negative: no ramp or flat entrance for handicap.

Sunday breakfast on the way through. Busy, but they move service quickly. Collectivo coffee, always a favorite. Potato pancakes, hash browns, eggs your way, generous bacon, and selection of breads. All very good.

Food was fantastic, and the service was QUICK. They were super busy but we barely waited 10 minutes to be seated. Mary Beth was was friendly and our food came out pretty quickly after ordering. Great spot to spend a little time with friends or family-get the Wisconsin Scramble it was so good

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience at Café Agora! The food was delectable and our server, Hanna was attentive, personable, and so sweet. We had mentioned that we were out for my birthday and she went out of her way to have this made up for me (see attached). Would highly recommend dining at Café Agora!

Mary was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Would definitely eat here again.

Crystal K did a great job! She had so many tables but still was able to keep us all happy and taken care of. Peak service!

Really yummy brunch place in the Falls area. The menu is so comprehensive! There's American, Italian, and Greek options on the menu, savory and sweet options. Just pages and pages of dishes to choose from, it took like 15 minutes for us to decide what we wanted to eat. I went with the Italian skillet option which had Italian sausage and I got a pancake as a sub instead of toast (this cost an extra $2). I also ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice. Both ended up being about $26 with tax and tip, which is pretty reasonable for how much food there was. Service was friendly and efficient. Our waitress gave us some entree recommendations and came by pretty frequently to refill our coffee. Highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're in the area. I loved that the entrance had a closet for you to hang your jackets, because the booth was a little small to also have your bags and coats.

The best breakfast/lunch spot in the area! Farm fresh eggs with bright orange yolks, bakery quality sourdough muffin, butcher shoppe thick-cut Canadian bacon, take this common breakfast staple to new culinary levels. And it is just one of 10 Benedict variations on the menu. You will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and value at Agora Cafe.

Although busy on a Sunday, I was able to be seated with a friend in about 5 minutes! I ordered the "power morning," with a side of multi-grain toast, red potatoes, and a generously sized mimosa for good measure. The food came out in good timing for the amount of people filled in the cafe, and the presentation was nothing short of insta/yelp worthy to post! It's a relaxed cafe with a family friendly ambiance to boot. They have some items available for the kiddos and an abundance of delicious options to choose from for us adults, whether in the mood for breakfast/brunch, or something for lunch/dessert. You can't go wrong supporting local here, enjoy!

This was our second time at Cafe Agora for brunch; the food is consistently good (nothing fancy but still tasty) & the servers are kind. It was pretty busy today but our wait was still only around 10 minutes. Our server was attentive & the coffee was always refilled. I had the Forza Mozza Benedict: Brioche roll, tomato, spinach, fresh mozzarella, hollandaise sauce. I thought the brioche roll was an interesting choice but it was fluffy & added a nice sweetness. The hollandaise was good, well balanced, & there was a healthy portion. Overall, I would recommend this place for a casual brunch with folks who are into your classic staple foods; Cafe Agora does them well!

Fantastic service and delicious food! Close, great prices,delicious food, and knowledgeable staff!

they charged me $6 for a watered-down apple juice with no refill. I had two pancakes and two eggs and my total bill was $23 dollars without tip. The food is alright but nowhere near worth that.

Well, for some reason my Yelp profile reset itself and the site wants me to submit a whole new review. Alright, the food has been quality and the service attentive. The ambiance is just like a diner, kinda homey. The menu maybe a few dollars more than a local spot down the road, but you are paying for quality and service. Remember; servers provide with you service and are "usually" paid way less than minimum wage ($2-3 hour).....and if they are good, 20% shouldn't be an issue.

Great breakfast every time we stop there when we are in the area Porta Bella mushroom is excellant the best

Loved the gluten free options and service was great!! Very large menu, something for everyone. Can't wait to go back!

My daughter and I and my three little grandchildren had lunch here today. The food was very good, the restaurant was clean, but the staff - wow!!! Very welcoming, answered all out questions, and our server was especially kind to the kids. But what really stood out about the staff was their immediate response, concern, and over-the-top positive reactions when the youngest child, almost 3, got sick (not from the food - he hadn't eaten anything, likely because his tummy was hurting) all over the floor, chair, and an empty plate. My daughter tried to begin to clean things up, but the server wouldn't allow her to, and an incredibly kind older teen boy came and cleaned up what the server couldn't, telling us not to feel badly. I'm only sorry I was a bit rattled and didn't get the names of these wonderful staffers - they are to be commended for their genuinely concerned and caring reactions. Kudos to all!! (And the little guy felt much better later and enjoyed every bite of his French toast!) We will definitely be returning - but with no repeat performance!

What a gem this place is for Menomonee Falls!!! We are in the area from Ohio for work and noticed the parking lot always has so many cars in it so we decided to give it a try on a Sunday at noon...10 minute wait and it was worth it! The manager/owner sat down and talked with us as he sat us. The food is local sourced and delicious!! Look how rich the egg yolks are being from a local farm. The coffee is Colectivo coffee which is made just for this restaurant. Service was great, the waitress was helpful with the menu. We will be frequenting this cafe!!

Great service and great food! Opened with French fries, some of the best I've had anywhere. Tried the Agora burger. Phenomenal. Can't wait to try other items on the new menu!

I had to start work an hour earlier than usual, which meant trying to find a breakfast place open at or by 6am to make it to work on time. Although I have quite a few breakfast places bookmarked, not too many fit the bill of being open that early. Luckily, Cafe Agora isn't far from where I live and is one of only a couple that worked timing wise. Minutes after they opened I ordered the Agora Breakfast Wrap (bacon, egg, cheese, and spinach) without the onion and tomato and got fresh fruit for my side. The fruit was fine. Good size container and all of it was chilled. The pineapple and grapes were the best part. Either the cantaloupe and honeydew aren't in season or somebody didn't pick the most flavorful ones, but they still had some flavor. Not a bad option if you're looking for a healthier side compared to hash browns. When I open the container with the burrito I was surprised to see a tomato tortilla. The menu doesn't list that and usually places will highlight it if they have special flavor tortillas. Unexpected, but not unwelcome. The burrito was a tale of two halves. The first half didn't have much bacon and the bits I did find were more fatty than meaty. The second half, however, had much more bacon in it and they were meaty chunks. Not sure why there was such a discrepancy, but I'm glad the second half was able to redeem the first half. If I could give ratings with a half star, the food by itself would be a 3.5. The fact that they're open at 6am pushes the overall rating to a 4. In a post pandemic world where restaurants have cut back hours and are struggling to find staff for when they are open, I appreciate the ones that still manage to be open for the early birds.

This was my first time at Cafe Agora. The food is AMAZING! Breakfast was delicious. The eggs were the perfect texture and the food is often locally sourced and so fresh! Service was friendly and our waiter, Drew, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Clean and delicious.

Very cute place! Wonderful food! Service was amazing!! Eggs Benedict was fantastic and so many options! French toast was addictive! Highly recommend!!

Great place to get quality breakfast made from scratch with quality ingredients. Collectivo coffee to boot! Portions are just right and staff is friendly and helpful.

The food was very bland and way overpriced for it not being that great. You also don't get any sides with your meal, you have to pay extra for them which is odd. Not sure we would come back here.

We found Agora by accident and it was a great accident. We walked in on a Saturday morning Define the restaurant pleasantly busy but by no means overcrowded or loud. Customer service was immediate and friendly, the restaurant was absolutely clean. The menu was replete with too many great choices. Our group of four settled on the Iron Man omelette, 2+2+2, a cheese omelette with pancakes, and the Nutella banana French toast. We noticed how busy the staff was throughout the restaurant, and peculiarly we noticed that our server was the only one for our half of the restaurant. She was running from table to table swiftly yet attentive and friendly to all. She had no busser or other helper. We were impressed, felt bad for her and were surprised at the restaurant didn't have someone else in that dining room. At one point, the owner of the restaurant came over just to greet us and she was absolutely charming and lovely, graceful and caring. She instantly won us over. Our meals arrived and we knew we would leave pull and happy. Everything looked fantastic, although the only really colorful and exciting looking plate was the Nutella banana French toast which came with fresh cut strawberries, pecans and fresh whipped cream. We also noticed that the syrup served was quite warm and a high-quality service, and that was a treat. The boost of it all, of course, was that each meal tasted fresh and carefully made, and quite good. The restaurant makes efforts to use organic products and we were appreciative of that. Prices for the large meals were reasonable, although not on the low end.

The menu here was huge, and my entire group had difficulty deciding what to order. I got the harvest skillet, and there was a mixup with my order not being put in, so I had to wait while the rest of my group ate. No big deal though. The food was good, but it lacked a little seasoning. We had to add salt and pepper for sure. The sweet potatoes in the harvest skillet were awesome! There was also a mixup with the waitress switching up two omelettes that were ordered, so members of my group started eating meals that weren't actually theirs. Overall, I'd return!

I ate breakfast there for the first time this morning, after a visit to the hospital nearby. So it was just a random choice. What a find. Wonderful food, large servings, and a very nice waitress name Crystal. Almost worth a trip to the hospital just to eat there.

Great food and service. I love that I can order half a panini sandwich which is still a big sandwich. They also have a fantastic bakery.

Service is always great. I love the food here, it's a little on the pricier side but I enjoy going when I do. Ambience is usually in the quieter side and I'm able to enjoy my company and food.

I had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant several weeks ago. While the food and service was good I will not be back. The owner was extremely rude and yelling at customers that obviously were celebrating a special occasion. He was very degrading and discriminating towards the women. Indicating he would only speak to the men. My heart goes out to all his female employees as if this is how he treats female customers in public I can't even imagine how he treats women in private. From what I hear and saw, he is running a scam for groups, taking a security deposit and then being rude, very unprofessional and uncooperative to try to get them to cancel since he has the money and if they don't cancel he still keeps the money. As a woman I will not patronize this male chauvinist establishment

I stopped here as a last minute decision after my son's Taekwondo belt testing. We were seated within a minute of walking in. The waitress came over within 3 minutes of us being seated to get drink orders. Once we ordered our food, it didn't take long for the food to come out. I had the create your own omelette and I did cheddar cheese, ham and portabella mushrooms - DELICIOUS! They used just the right amount of each item and it was very flavorful plus a generous portion size. I was stuffed after eating and ready for a nap! I will definitely be back again.

Went on Easter Sunday, but place was surprisingly not too busy. I felt like our server was hard to find sometimes - like when we sat down and didn't have a drink order yet, they just kind of left instead of letting us look it over and say what we wanted. Overall just didn't feel like we were on their radar. A large group came in at the same time as we did/seated near us, and they got their food and drinks much quicker than we did. We were all happy with our food, especially portion size - a lot of food for the cost. However, my food would've been better with hot sauce and I was going to ask for it but didn't see the server to flag them down until I was over half way done with my food, which was a bit disappointing. That's my advice for the Wisconsin scramble though - ask for hot sauce!

Nice quiet, homey space. Food was flavorful and the eggs were very fresh! Our waitress was attentive and sweet! Would return and recommend :)

Beautiful building, nice decorations, seated and served almost immediately. Staff is super nice and table was very clean. Food brought out less than ten minutes after ordering. Tasted incredible, great amount of food for the price. Will come again.

Came here for lunch with my daughter. She ordered the berry french toast which was amazing. Huge portions with lots of berries, mascarpone in the middle and whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top - 5 stars all the way! I wish I'd taken a picture but forgot my phone in the car. I got the Reuben sandwich which would have been 5 stars, except the quality of the corned beef was poor. The grilled sandwich, cheese, kraut etc we're super tasty but meat was fatty, chewy and not tender. Kind of disappointing given how good the sandwich would have been if not for that. Will definitely be back to try other menu items as we live not too far away and I'm sure my daughter will be asking for that French toast again soon!

I am traveling in the area for the holidays and came to Cafe Agora with my boyfriend, who has come here for years. It was the most delicious breakfast I've ever had. I had the harvest skillet and the cinnamon roll french toast. my boyfriend had the cheese curd skillet and he loved it as well. the service was fast and friendly and they have a HUGE menu! it's one of those places where you know anything you get will be great. the menu is also very creative and unique. I wish this place was closer to home, I'd be here every weekend!

I ordered orange juice and the waitress handed me a glass with a bunch of ground up orange seeds floating in the drink, and when i brought it up she said it's supposed to be like that (i've never had fresh squeezed orange juice where there are ground up seeds in it), then i ordered a meal and a dessert, she forgot to bring out the dessert and when i mentioned it she lied and said she must not have heard me because it wasn't on the ticket, instead of apologizing for forgetting to put it on the ticket. on her way bringing us the dish i saw her shoulder check another waitress on accident. overall the food was okay but nothing i would come back for. I will not be returning to this business, i really did not appreciate our server and the food was very average. The men's bathroom stall door also opens directly into the urinal area so if someone's using a urinal, you almost have to ask them to step aside to open the door. And the smoothie i ordered tasted fine but i was served it with a very small thin straw which is not easy to drink a thick smoothie out of.

This place is too good. Every kind of American breakfast food you can imagine. Pulled ham eggs Benedict was phenomenal, fresh syrup on the waffles, classic biscuits and gravy were all great. Service was friendly and fast. It gets pretty busy but they kept up with the crowd well. The only criticism I have is that the apple juice was $6 for a glass, which is like what Disney would charge for the same. Just order water and the food will make up for it. This place is great.

BEWARE!!! SCAM!!! We put a security deposit down months ago so we could bring a larger group in for our wedding brunch. Shachen was wonderful when we met with him and very accommodating. We were so happy that we almost booked our bridal shower there as well. After we put the deposit down, his demeanor changed. He became very rude and kept trying to change the time we had agreed upon. He became upset by our group size (the size we originally agreed upon) and then when less people RSVP'd, he was upset about the smaller group size. He never gave us the full security deposit back (he informed us we'd get the full amount of $250 back if we didn't cancel). He kept coming up with different reasons as to why he wasn't giving it back. I believe he pretends to be very accommodating and then when he gets your deposit, it makes your reservation as difficult as possible so you cancel. If you cancel, he gets to keep the $250. We considered canceling multiple times because of how he was treating us. We ended up keeping our reservation and he still kept half the deposit. So he got all our business plus an extra $100. He's running a scam. He was also very disrespectful and unprofessional towards the women in our family.

Our group of 5 ladies went to have breakfast at Cafe Agora today after reading positive reviews on this restaurant. Needless to say, my review is NOT positive!! One of the ladies did not receive her omelet until the others were half done with their meals. Two ladies ordered a side order of bacon, which was brought when they were half done with their meals. Eggs were cold. While leaving, the older lady at the desk asked how was our meals - When told she said she couldn't do anything about it. Cafe Agora has seen the last of us!! Don't waste your time and money on a place that has poor service / not so great food.

Be prepared to wait if you decide to brunch here on the weekends! Although the wait was long, it was well worth it. Stopped in for food with friends on a Sunday morning and waited forever for our server, and then forever to get our drinks, and then even longer to get our food! Once we actually did get a chance to eat the food was fantastic. I had the omelette topped with hollandaise and my boyfriend had the breakfast bread bowl stuffed with brisket, egg, and veggies. I was so stuffed, but did manage to grab a container of their homemade soup next to the cashier...only $2.99 for a quart?? Thought it was a great deal and though it isn't my favorite broccoli cheese, it is better than Campbell's so I can't complain.

An eclectic mix of everything you'd expect from breakfast. Substantial portions and "solid" food (no fluff). Service was efficient and our server was attentive. The venue was mostly empty, but perhaps it was the time and day we went? In any regard, I have no complaints! Pro tip: Go with a guest - order something unusual and something traditional, and split to share!

We used to come here very often... service I'd always good .... real friendly and professional service... the food wait time is always somewhat slow... the prices are just a few dollars more than some other breakfast places we go to .. the food is good amd we like it here... great service always

Wouldn't make something because the kitchen was training (there were only two other people in the place at 7am on a Saturday) and it took too long to make. Nice big menu. Crepes were OK. Standard french toast was very good. Apple Cinnamon french toast was fine but the corn flakes were weird and I don't think the whip was real (very dense, too sweet, never lost it's shape from heat). Had brunch buffet or something one time and it was fine.

Cafe agora was a pleasant surprise. The hostess and waitress were excellent. The food was great. Portions were more than adequate. Highly recommended!

Great local cafe featuring a vast menu of waffles, omelettes, pancakes, many different variations of eggs Benedict among many many other options including a delicious NY Steak & Eggs. The kids got an omelette and the Mickey Mouse Pancakes while I got the amazing Huevos rancheros which was dynamite. Very nice inside dining area reminding me of a little place long ago. And for the coffee lovers they serve the deliciously famous Colectivo coffee! Must try if you're in the mood for some breakfast/brunch food!

Great food been there at least a hundred times and only had one meal that wasn't up to par. I only had breakfast so far.

I'm amazed this place isn't more popular. Hubby and I had an early Sunday breakfast at 8:45am, and were seated immediately to a sparsely filled dining room. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress, who quickly brought coffees (Colectivo!) and the most delicious fresh squeezed OJ I've had since Cancun. The menu, let's just say, is insane. It's not crazy big, but it's the sort of menu where you want to taste everything on it. The choice was really hard...but I'm a sucker for a good eggs Benedict, and narrowed it down to this incredible tostada variation with beef barbacoa, fresh spinach, Oaxaca cheese, and eggs over easy on top. Wow. With the choice of potato (red or hash brown) or fruit, I opted for both. SO happy I did. The fresh berries and melon with strawberries was delightful! I expected the usual shitty oranges and grapes most places usually throw in, so I was pleasantly surprised. I ate every bit. I can't say the same for the Benedict and hash browns...this is for sure a two person breakfast. For $12, you can easily split a meal and save some money! The hardest part will be agreeing what to order. Next time, I want to try either the chicken and waffles (bacon infused waffle?! Sausage gravy?!) or the pecan banana and blueberry pancakes. Oh, and they have two bacon choices, too: peppered or apple. They really do brunch right, and it makes a great lunch stop too! They close at 3 and on Mondays, so plan accordingly. I'm hungry again just thinking about it!

Breakfast Barbecoa Tostada's were amazing, wait staff was super friendly! I would highly recommend this place, food came out quick and was priced fair.

$15.99 for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and some soggy hashbrowns. Re think you're pricing. The sandwich was good, but that's a rip off

We went here for breakfast. We loved it! We got the cheese curd skillet and it was delicious. The coffee was good, too.

Looking for a breakfast place in the area, found this restaurant, we were not disappointed. The restaurant was busy and looked nice. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We were seated immediately. The breakfast menu had a nice variety. There was a slight delay in getting our food, but the food was delicious. We tried a country side skillet, garden delight omelet, and chicken and waffles...all was delicious! Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Typical Greek-style dining. Adequate food. Pleasant service. Yet, too pricey for what is offered.

Upon walking into this adorable restaurant I was promptly greeted in a very warm and welcoming manor. I was very impressed at how happy the staff and customers appeared thus creating an inviting atmosphere. As we were introduced to the server it was a smooth handoff creating that "welcome home" feel. The energy was very much like going home to see family you haven't seen in a long time. The server was very nice and tentative while also giving the perfect amount of time between asking. The server was also very knowledgeable about the menu when asked about specific items, and for me that is a BIG PLUS! The food was very quick to be delivered to the table. Overall the service was out of this world impressive. The food came out perfect and piping hot showing that there was zero lag between being cooked, plated, and served. My only feedback to the owner/manager is please please please encourage the servers to pick up the dirty dishes when people are finished. Especially when they are moved to the edge of the table. Overall for a first time visit to the establishment I am very much impressed and I look forward to returning again in the very near future. Thank you again Cafe Agora

I was in town and spotted this place and decided to give it try. Food was excellent and fairly priced for the quality. The burger was cooked perfectly with a buttery flavor and the slightest hint of char. Also the construction of the burger was masterful with veggies stacked and placed in such a way that blended into a totally unique and satisfying flavor and experience. Service was everything it needed to be. Great place for a superior breakfast/lunch.

The farmers benidict was great. It is 1 biscuit split, with two sausage pattis shreded ham, poached egg and sauage gravy. With a side of hashbrowns. Portion size was perfect fpr a hearty appitie without being wasteful. The staff was very warm and freindly. The place looks to be an old ihop. So i love to see a mom n pop replace a chain. My one qualm was that the resturant was less than 1/3 rd full and they were still seating people right next to each other? Why not leverage all this space and allow for some social distancing. I mean there is still a pandemic.
