Super cute, great food and coffee and nice outdoor area. NOTE, however that it’s not ideal for remote/laptop working. They will ask you to leave if you’re using your laptop, and there aren’t many outlets available.

Great for meeting up with a friend or grabbing a quick coffee and lunch. However, if you’re looking for a local cafe from which to work, try Bottled Bean instead.

Most of the time it’s good, just annoying when I’ve gone in repeatedly, ordered a drink and a pastry and did not receive the pastry. The fact that this has happened multiple times is irritable, to say the least. Especially when they are slow. Overall ok experience, just wish they’d remember to give you your pastry because just $9 for your coffee and forgetfulness is not the best practice for a business.

We've been coming to Minocqua for vacation for decades and we were so excited to see this new Cafe downtown. The food is absolutely delicious. The avocado toast is the best I've ever had--compliments to the chef. The coffee selection is vast and the oat milk lattes are delicious. I applaud the owners for recognizing a need in the local marketplace and filling it. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was remarkably fast given the high volume of customers.

We hope to add this cafe to annual roster of "must visits".

This is a small cute business in a great location with wonderful service. There was a barista in training so my drink wasn't exactly how I wanted. I didn't even have to ask and the owner offered to remake it and wow am I happy about that! My easy-sweet brown butter toffee iced latte was divine 🤤 Thanks <3

I've been visiting Cafe Sonder for a little over a year. Never once have I have a bad experience. I love the comradery present between the staff and customers. The laid back and cozy atmosphere here are unmatched from any place I've visited prior.

Their menu is varied but nothing seems out of place, I've had just about everything atleast once and none of it seemed hashed in or like it was a rushed idea they slapped on for fluff.

They have a handful of different options in terms of bakery items which are always worth trying.

They have a large menu when it comes to the variety of coffee or coffee related beverages you can order or modify. Along side this they have a cooler with sodas and other drinks for those who do not drink coffee.

The grownup grilled cheese paired with their maple ginger cold brew and a raspberry croissant is my personal favorite combo to order, and I swear is a gift from God.

They sell quite a few coffee roasts all of which are unique in their own way and come in beautifully designed bags. I own several and love the flavor of each.

Overall I heavily recommend Cafe Sonder to anyone in the area or passing through. Amazing people, amazing atmosphere, and amazing food.

Everything was clean and neat when I walked in. I was super excited about trying this new place. After all I only get to Minoqua one a year so I’m always excited about trying the new restaurants. While I was waiting for my coffee. The owner or manager kept screaming at the people to shut the door because the ac was on. Very rude I thought. But after 25 minutes of waiting for my coffee that never showed up I was forced to leave. I couldnt bear to listen to the women scream about the ac any longer. Enjoy my $6 dollar tip

Cool and funky little place. Our service was very good. A much needed coffee and quick light food venue. Thanks for saving this downtown location after the revolving door of failures there! We both had the chicken salad sandwich and it was not good. A goopy mix of maybe miracle whip and some chicken, on dry wheat bread. Bad memories of junior high cafeteria. Check out chicken salad at the Wild Berry, local grocery deli’s, or Pinterest for ideas. Will be back.

Stopped in early Sunday morning on our way out of town - We had no idea what a treat we were in for!

We ordered a pumpkin spice latte, two different flavors of chai latte, and two types of muffins. All were great, but the sour cream cinnamon muffins need a call-out for one of the best, most moist muffins I’ve ever had.

Baked goods are freshly made by “Grandma” in the back, and they also have quiche. They said they will be rolling out a full menu in the future. There are a few tables and chairs inside, including an electric fireplace, and a small patio out front.

Highly recommend - we look forward to becoming regulars at this new establishment.

UPDATE: I had a concern about mask wearing at Cafe Sonder and the owner addressed it. I look forward to a return trip there.
