What People Are Saying
from Google"One of my favorite coffee shops in Waukesha! The atmosphere is so bright and cozy! I typically get an iced latte and the espresso shots are always well balanced and smooth, never bitter. I also love the story behind the name and why the owner chose it. Whether I’m grabbing my drink to go or staying for a bit, I always leave happier than when I came in. Highly recommend!"
"Love this place already but love it more today. It's 3° and there's only one woman here working her butt off as she's short staffed. She killed it and was calm and kind. Good job!"
"The baristas were very friendly! The two girls working were patient, kind, and professional. I ordered a matcha latte with honey and the vegan blueberry coffee cake muffin. The matcha was pretty average (still enjoyable), but the muffin was absolutely superb! Absolutely delicious and the perfect breakfast item!"
"Update for new location (now 3 stars ) Copilot recent changed locations in downtown Waukesha. This is a small place, now located on an angular corner. To me the new space feels both more intimate, but very bright, probably due to the almost wrap-around windows. The staff was friendly, but a little low on the energy scale. Ordered a London Fog and a Coffee Cake Muffin. Asked for drink in a mug, but they missed that part and I got it in a paper cup. Also, the muffin got way over-nuked in the microwave, and was mess from all the melted brown sugar. Not an overall great experience. A little disappointed in the lack the other bakery items. All they had was muffins. No scones, coffees or bars. And the service was kind of mediocre. Several other coffee choices in the areas, so not likely to come back here. **************************************** First time here since they changed ownership. There are numerous other coffee shops in this area, so it's an effort if any one of them wants to stand out. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to order right away. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We ordered a couple of beverages and food items. The London Fog Latte was done exactly as I like it, with lavender, vanilla and extra foam. The Yogurt Parfait was a good portion with fresh fruit. I like the fact that you used plain yogurt and then get to add sweet toppings. The GF Muffin was good, but not great. A little too dense for me, but I also realize that it's a challenge with regular flour. Lots of places to sit, both in the front and rear areas. Lots of table space and nice for study groups. It's spacious, but not as coffee shop comfy as I prefer. Nice, but would not be my first choice for a Downtown Waukesha Coffee Shop."
"As we continue to explore new coffee shops, stopped into Copilot. Helpful staff on discussing menu options and customizations. Solid breakfast sandwich and some yummy vegan muffins. Will be back."
