| - I've been coming here since 1982. Full disclosure: I've been stopping here on my way to trout fishing and/or Gov Dodge St Park every few years since 1982. Here is what my impression was 30 years ago: quiet, old-fashioned, handmade, hearty, great tastes, great pastry, great bread, nice atmosphere. I would not say that much has changed here. They still make authentic baked goods, whose taste and texture contrast strongly with the defrosted microwaved stuff you get at supermarkets and chain restaurants. Their cinnamon bread is incredible. You'd really be a fool not to leave with a loaf. Their other breads are very good.
The last time I was here I had eggs and potato sausage. The sausage is excellent, and as good as I have ever had. OK, I can only compare with Ann Sather's but this was as good or better. My GF had the Lefke (sp?) wrap which was very substantial, and delicious.
Their prices are very reasonable, especially for someone used to paying big-city tabs. I have never eaten anything but breakfast here, so of lunch and dinner I cannot comment.
I dig the country look with the old painted designs on the wall and the old counter. Never change that. It's a trademark. Also, stick with the local art. It suits this place.
Here is what they could change: Get better coffee, cover the pastries that sit on the counter...I wanted to buy some, but there were flies on them, so, no way Jose. Just cover them, no matter what season. Also, the glass cases need serious renovation or replacement.
I am always so glad, every time I visit SW Wisconsin, that a place like Schubert's still exists.
