★★★★☆ 4.0 Alan Martens · Nov 2025

stopped for a quick breakfast. Excellent service I felt the prices were really reasonable. Food was great. I love the open area atmosphere and the ability to see outside. See the streets and what’s going on around the capital. Location is great for work around the capital. I’d say give it a try in a heartbeat.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda Weisensel · Dec 2025

Gooseberry is in a league of their own! There is nothing like them on the capitol square that offers an extensively fresh, full salad bar along with made to order breakfast and lunch staples at a very reasonable cost! This place is a gem and we're lucky to have this breakfast and lunch spot close by on the square!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Austin Campbell · Mar 2023

The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering, which was remarkably fast. I ordered a Swiss and Mushroom Omelette. For a Wisconsin restaurant the Swiss was notably lacking. The mushrooms were slightly undercooked and the whole omelette itself was not seasoned. Dear restaurants, please season your food while you’re cooking it. The eggs were fine but tasted like they had been cooked really fast. It seems like they care more about efficiency than they do about quality. I also had the wheat toast which was pretty decent. They give you for half pieces which is quite a lot and provide jelly and butter options. The coffee is Collectivo coffee which is fine but the house coffee is more expensive than the to go because it’s bottomless. They should add a in house coffee option that’s just one cu

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kyle Segrass · Apr 2023

I have wanted to visit this place for a very long time. Unfortunately i was largely disappointed. This place is not very health conscious. Everything in the menu is bacon, sausage, chorizo. It’s also expansive if you ask ,e. Salads are $8.50/lb that is just wow, no unlimited! They. Barge for everything. To wrap it up the staff “looks friendly” but isn’t very friendly. Coffee was cold, hey didn’t have stevia. Just a not so good experience. On a positive note the food was delicious. Atmosphere was not energetic at all very very quiet and sleepy.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Chirag Soni · Jun 2022

(chicken/turkey) Sandwiches are okayish (6/10), fries felt really weird and too crisp (double fried i guess) maybe I am not used to it but the fries shouldn't be like that. The ambience and the vibe is really good and the location is right behind the Capitol. Prices are justified for the location and vibe food should be the least priority while coming here. Even the coffee was bad. Never coming back!
