Era Cafe

The atmosphere is great! It kinda feels like a very high-end place but also has a very homey feel. The food was great. The potatoes in my meatlovers skillet were some of the best I've had since starting my Saturday breakfast trips! The fruit on the French toast was massive compared to most places I've been to. Plus they put different garnishes on each dish. Our waitress was very delightful. She eagerly waited in us and answered what questions the other person who joined me asked. Plus after we were done, she was very friendly and talkative. Her name was Evelyn. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a good breakfast and an amazing atmosphere. I plan on going again sometime!

After an active morning, my husband and I stopped by Era Cafe for brunch. This was our first dining experience in Waunakee and we were both very impressed. The vibe of Era Cafe is modern and chic but homey. I was a big fan of their decor and design. And the food was even better! I ordered the blueberry cheesecake pancakes with a side of breakfast potatoes. The serving size was very generous, and whoever came up with blueberry cheese pancakes is a genius. My husband got the country fried steak. He was very pleased with his meal and blown away by how much food you get for such a fair price. Everything was so delicious. I have a feeling we will visit again the next time we want a tasty brunch!

Loved everything about our experience. Our sever was awesome and the food was fantastic. The atmosphere was so cute and well done. The iced shaken espresso was great! The banana split french toast was beyond amazing and the presentation was a beautiful surprise!

I randomly stumbled into this place with my 6 year old daughter and decided to give it a try. The vibe is SO CUTE and we were pleasantly surprised! We both got pancakes for dinner (because why not) and they were delicious. They had a nicely folded kid’s menu with some activities. Our server was lovely and very timely. The place was very clean and cute (including the bathrooms!) and we had a lovely time! Pancakes were 👌. We will definitely be back!!

My husband and I came here with friends of ours for brunch today. The ambiance is so nice!! My husband got the mimosa flight and Nashville hot chicken and waffles. I got the Birria grilled cheese. He said his waffles were not spicy at all, tasted like regular chicken tenders. So was a bit bland. My Birria grilled cheese was pretty good, but much smaller than I expected. The fries were good, I would compare them to McDonald’s (not in a bad way) but a little less grease. Overall, what we ordered was just okay, I probably wouldn’t order again.

We'll be back... Saturday 830 am and got seated right away. Got busy later though...Staff was friendly, still in training but did a good job. Husband is picky with his coffee and they almost nailed it. The sweet cream wasn't warmed up so it made the whole espresso could... He drank it anyway but that's a typical fail for amateur baristas. The banana French toast was amazing and beautiful presentation... The Avocado toast was also amazing... Looking forward to trying other things!

Just go here. But also, please don’t go here - because it’s going to eventually get too busy to get a table. 😂 We got seated right away on a Tuesday morning. Comfy and spacious booth. Waters were delivered and we browsed the menu… I wanted to order one of everything. Coffee was outstanding. I had a cold brew and my girlfriend had a macchiato - both were superb. Million dollar bacon was perfectly crispy and seasoned. Maple syrup was a perfect compliment. Avocado toast was out of this world. Absolutely elite-tier. The eggs were plentiful, the toast was perfect and it had featured a nice hint of butter under all of the flavors. The beef sausage and eggs was insanely huge - easily shared by two people. The eggs were buttery and fluffy - perfectly cooked. The sausages were brisket based, smoky and so flavorful. Breakfast potatoes were crispy yet fluffy inside and the toast was to die for. Service was always perfectly timed, friendly and professional. Perfection. Change nothing.

What a beautiful place. Came here for Father’s Day and it did not disappoint!! Food was amazing and our server was so wonderful and friendly! Definitely can’t wait to go back and recommend to everyone. Had the Banana Bread French Toast and OMG!! Nothing like it. Fantastic!

Our 2nd visit. Just as wonderful as our first. Thank you especially to the bartender for the wonderful looking cocktail as well as tasty!

I took out food on a Friday evening. It was not that busy at that time. Oreo infusion pancakes was my favorite item. It was real big. I got 2 and couldn't finish it. May be I could have finished one. Nashville chicken and waffle and Corned beef was good.

Food was delicious! There were tons of options to pick from on the menu. Service was very fast. We didn't have to wait for a table for 2 on a Sunday morning. The "side" pancake could be a whole meal on its own. Best pancakes I've had!

Went here for brunch with my daughter and the food was phenomenal! Coffee and service was great as well. The decor is super pretty and reminds me of an upscale Chicago cafe. We'll be back again and again.

Food and coffee is great and the prices are very reasonable. Service is always friendly and efficient as well.

A breakfast/brunch destination in Waunakee is Era! Many choices but the crepes with fresh fruit were wonderful. Go easy on the pancake order unless you're really hungry.

Great service! Very quick and a variety of foods. Had the ham, fig, and cheese crepe.

Had breakfast here with my family of 9, and everything was great! Our entire family, kids included, all enjoyed our meals. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and the omelettes were cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and handled our big group with ease. This place is definitely a must-try--highly recommend for a fantastic family breakfast!

As long as they serve potatoes ONLY deep fried we will not eat there again. The other products are very good except for the pancakes that break apart when you put a fork in them. We hope that they soon recognize that they not competing with MacDonalds or Culvers.

Very busy when we went and service was still excellent. The food was delicious and filling. For as busy as they were we received our foot pretty quick. We will definitely be going again!

Gluten free pancakes were genuinely not edible despite the berries and whip cream, they tasted absolutely awful. Both of us who got gluten free couldnt finish more than a bite or two. Waitress was super unfriendly and didnt appear to know how to handle a table of 6 people. the coffee was the only highlight.

Won't eat here again. Seated next to a construction crew working on the booths next to us. They were drilling, pounding talking loud disrupting we could not hear each other. Everyone else in restaurant was seated in another room. When I asked to speak to manager, she came said she would be right back but never showed up and we had to leave. WHY DIDN'T THEY MOVE US. I mentioned the noise and the waitress said, "We didn't know they would be working back here". Service is a big part of the experience

This restraunt is a place you never want to go, rude waitress, the food was so cold, also the workers had attitude the whole time
