The Coffee Talk Bakery
S52W28809 Saylesville RdHomemade delicious! The setting is in a refurbished barn.
Located on the Morning Star golf course. Hickory Sticks is in the subdivision adjacent to ours. Jeff recommends the fish fry with Spotted Cow batter. Homemade potato pancakes! I enjoy the Cajun blackened cod. The atmosphere ranges from lively chats about competitive golf games, to couples and families enjoying a relaxing dinner. We typically sit in the bar area. Check ahead for hours during the week. We usually sit in the bar area for dinner on Fridays and we don't make reservations. Occasionally they have special events so they are not open to the public on those nights. Nice views of the course and they have a large deck for outdoor seating.

A local landmark for decades due to the "baked in a paper bag" apple pie. The bakery is delicious cannot go wrong with anything they bake! They have a deli and ice cream. You can pick up Wisconsin favorite food items. Nice place to pick up gifts for your family and friends. Pricey $$$
