The Essential Café & Bistro is focused on providing high-quality food and service in order to promote an unforgettable experience when visiting us - we will do everything we can to exceed your expectations!  

Not just any cafe...
More than just a "coffee shop" we offer a comfortable modern environment that includes indoor and outdoor seating.   We make and  serve delicious wholesome, natural, and organic food  (made here on-site) by only using the most premium whole ingredients.  

Here at the Essential Cafe/Bistro we support local businesses!  We proudly serve Alterra coffee & Rishi Teas along with many other  products produced here locally in our great state of Wisconsin.

We have a variety of offerings to choose from.  Look around our website and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact us!
