Cronies

Delicious, creative cuisine. Great coffee. Accomodating staff. Cronies provides a welcoming atmosphere along with some of the best food in Waupaca. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out.

Just got a vanilla latte and a drip to go. The drip tasted like a McDonalds brand and the latte was bizarre as if made by someone with no barista training.
I may go back for food next time I’m in town, but will be hesitant to go there for a caffeine fix.

The service here has definitely taken a dive in the last 6 mos. How hard is it to be greeted when you arrive? If you are willing to wait for either your latte or meal upwards of an hour, the food is delicious. But… it is often cold.

This small town café creates meals you struggle to find anywhere in Wisconsin. Each and every dish is plated beautiful and tastes wonderful! The selection was surprisingly unique with fun options for all tastes. The staff was very friendly in a cozy and welcoming environment. Check this place out!

Great breakfast spot in waupaca! We loved everything about Cronies! The vibe was awesome, the waitstaff was great. super nice and helpful! The expresso bar is a super cool touch on a breakfast place. I loved the separate section on the menu for just the coffee options. There are some
Interesting combinations you wouldn’t think of trying in your coffee but Cronies does a good job of making this combos taste great! I got a coconut Carmel iced latte and it was not too strong on the coconut side which I appreciated and also not to sweet.
The food menu is great too, I went with the farmers omelette which did not disappoint. Boyfriend got the stuffed French toast and he said it was great!!! I will
Be telling my friends and family to come here next time we Are in waupaca for the yearly vacation!

Feeling disappointed — a grilled cheese sandwich on regular bread and a little bowl of tomato soup delivered was over $ 9.00 — sandwich was nothing to brag about — and 3 people ordered they charged each one of us a delivery fee for the same place… taking cronies off my lunch rotation. sorry

This place is a true gem in this smaller town. Main Street has plenty of charm, and Cronie’s adds so much more to it.
The breakfast choices are your usual, but with a twist. The cherry granola oatmeal? Simple and absolutely delicious. The omelets are all tasty and filling. The coffee choices and scones are to die for.
The only small negative is that it can be loud at times when really busy, but don’t let that turn you away. Cronie’s is a must-​visit!

Our first trip here. The breakfast was good at a good price. We grabbed a booth the 4 of us. The coffee came quick big mugs with big waters too. The coffee was really strong (too strong for me). We ordered and waited about 20 minutes to get our breakfast (a little over average) when our breakfast arrived they had forgotten my wife’s order. The waiter apologized and we ate while she waited. Unfortunately we had finished our meal before she got hers. I’d would’ve been nice to receive a discount for the mistake or some sort of concession. I know people make mistakes and I’m not slamming this place by any means. It had a nice clean atmosphere. I’m just trying to leave an honest review. We will go back someday and give it another try.

All homemade foods and a great ambiance, Cronies is a great place to grab lunch or just a cup of coffee! I absolutely loved my meal and would recommend this place to anyone!

My dad always told me that if the windows are clean in a restaurant, it meant the owner is running a good establishment. Well, the windows are sparkling! So is the menu… all baked goods are homemade in the place. Lots of selections and good fast service. I have to admit being pleasantly surprised by this place. Seemed like a place you’d stumble across in an up and coming area of a big city. Oh, and when you ask for a BIG cup of coffee… you really get one! Pancakes are huge so beware of ordering more than one. I loved this place! (Good suggestion Sophie!!)

This is the perfect hidden gem in the middle of Wisconsin! Being a coffee snob and vegan it’s usually very hard to find a break breakfast place up there. Through a lil searching on Unilocal this perfect place was found. I must also say, my boyfriends is not a vegan and he equally loves this place.
Everyday they will post their breakfast and lunch special on the chalkboard and social media. Everything is super fresh and homemade. Because nothing is premade they can alter the ingredients for me. They have the best tofu scrambler for breakfast that I can add fresh veggies to to make it even better.
The coffee is the best I’ve ever had hands down. They offer everything from just a cup of black coffee to their flavored special of the day to the most amazing lattes. The Butterball and the Snickers have to be my 2 favorite.
Is so hard living 4 hours away from this place because I’d be there everyday of I lived closer. It’s a great treat to be able to go all summer though.

Just ate at Cronies. Loved the menu. There was several turkey and vegetarian choices. We recommend the red pepper goat cheese with tomato spinach and walnuts on 12 grain bread was outstanding. I also liked the berry smoothie because they didn’t add extra sugar. What a great find for lunch! We wish that we had a place like this where we live.

We have not had a bad meal at this place. Food is great

Thumbs up. First time here. Good food. Great service!

This place was top notch, lifetimes better than anything I’d expected to find in the ways of a little café in central Wisconsin.

They have Internet available, great food and coffees. Super great staff… I’m coming back for sure.

Nice diner on Main Street in Waupaca. Nice counter to sit at, as well as lots of tables. Owned/​run by a lady who loves baking, loves taking good care of her customers. The results are obvious in that the place was very full on midday Saturday. Her «turtle cookie» is to die for. The espresso was good, but at the risk of sounding incredibly pretentious, espresso deserves to be served in a demitasse, not a coffee cup.

This is a really nice little place! I stopped in and had coffee, which was good. The menu looked great, and the atmosphere was nice. I’ll definitely be back to try their food!

The food, coffee, and service is great!
Many vegetarian options to boot, which makes it an ideal place when visiting Waupaca.

Excellent coffee and menu selections. Top it all off with great service from a friendly staff and you can see why it is one of our favorite places in Waupaca!
