Great little gem off the main road but highly worth it. The name should be anything but simple. Eggs, homemade "hash" which was potatoes, sweet squash diced, shredded turkey that was juicy & just the right amount. Whole grain bread was good with homemade strawberry jam & honey butter. Toasted apple cinnamon French Toast with cinnamon crumble was to die for. Even the coffee was hot, strong & plentiful. They even have a little store next door to take home homemade bake good & fresh coffee beans. Great find.

First time diners. We were there for a late weekday breakfast. No wait to be seated. Coffee was great! We had the corned beef hash & BBQ Korean BBQ Breakfast Bowl. Both meals were amazing & full of flavor. And our waitress for so friendly. Highly recommend.

We spent three days in Lake Geneva and went with the mission to not repeat a restaurant. This place was so good we had to break our own rules. Even when it was packed with a morning crowd the sound wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear each other. The food was excellent. The service was spot on.

I Googled farm to table lunch in Lake Geneva and ended up at this amazing Cafe! Huge selection of breakfast options but I went with the lunch side and ordered a chicken salad sandwich that was perfect. All of the ingredients were balanced, allowing me to get tastes of everything included but nothing was overpowering. I got hints of the smokey chicken, then the sweet grapes kicked in followed by the fresh arugula and then nothing but happiness in my mouth. Ordered a lemon and ginger tea, which was very refreshing. Huge selection of healthy fresh options and the staff were great. Love this place and can't wait to come back and try some breakfast options!

Met family here for breakfast. Wasn't sure if I would find something for me on the menu or not. I was pleasantly surprised by multiple options that caught my attention. Very happy that I went with the corned beef hash and anxious to try something else next time! This place is down a little from the main street but very worth the couple minutes to drive or walk from the main strip and check out the shops between. Either way is a great choice! UPDATE - We enjoyed this place so much the last time, we had to try it again. We were seated quickly, they accommodated the 2 small children in the group and the food and service were consistently good. The menu has good selections for everyone in the party to enjoy. Even if they have food restrictions. Haven't been disappointed here yet and I would be surprised if I ever was. Simple Cafe is definitely on my list of "go to" places!

Decided to come to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for a quick b-day getaway. On our last day there, I saw this place on Yelp and the food looked good so decided to try them on 12/1/24, a lazy cold Sunday morning. I was a little nervous because many of the reviews talked about having to wait awhile to be seated. We lucked up, this wasn't our situation as they seated us right away. It was packed in there. We got to sit by the window which was the perfect spot. At the particular time we got there, we didn't have to pay the metered parking which was sweet but please, make sure you check if you happen to park in those spaces to make sure you don't get a ticket. Our female waitress was wonderful - friendly, kind and very attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our food. Breakfast is served all day which I love places that do. Our food was delicious! Everything was fresh! Pancakes were so yummy and yes, they were just as good, buttery and fluffy as my picture shows! Homemade chicken sausage was really good. The red potatoes I really liked - they sauteed it with green onions which really gave it a good flavor (I want to try this at home and see if I can come close to how theirs were). The eggs get a paragraph all to themselves. My God! Those were the best eggs I have had in my life, do you hear me? They had to have just gotten those from a chicken - even the orangish-yellowish coloring of the eggs were different. I wanted to order more eggs but I couldn't fit it anywhere in my belly - I was too full :( I really enjoyed my meal and hubby did too as he had the Korean BBQ Breakfast Bowl. Both of our plates were clean when we finished. I definitely want to return here. They have a bakery next door should you want to treat yourself to a sweet. Simple Cafe, there is nothing Simple about you! Thank you for adding to our wonderful trip to Lake Geneva. A all around in our books! Thanks so much!
