"1/22/2026 Update My first time here was a disappointment (see below), and the owner was interested in better understanding my experience, so we ended up having a great conversation on the phone. So glad that I returned a week later. I get the idea that everybody has different expectations for what makes for a great coffee shop experience. Coffee shops have a tough time meeting everyone's needs. And while not every coffee shop has the ability to meet these needs, the best places are the ones that are good at listening to customers and doing their best to accommodate them. I would say that DW Coffee is doing just that, being very receptive to feedback and trying to make things better. I brought a different friend along for this visit. We ordered a couple of lattes. Mine was a London Fog Tea Latte. Instead of my usual scone, I went with the Morning Bun. The owner happened to be there and took my drink order. She was able to make it exactly as I like it: fully steep the tea, add a couple pumps each of lavender and vanilla, then add the creamy frothed milk. It ended up having the right flavors, a nice texture with the milk/foam, and the perfect temperature (140°F-ish). You know you are getting quality frothed milk when the foam lasts to the very bottom of the cup. The Morning Bun was excellent. They warmed it up and included a little plastic cup of cinnamon/honey butter—just enough to add a bit to every piece that I tore off. So delicious. There are a lot of really good coffee shops to choose from. People have different reasons for sticking with the ones that meet and/or exceed their expectations. With that in mind, I’ll be sure to return to this one! 1/15/2026 Original (edited for space) Been to DW Coffee in Rochester several times, and I really love that space. So when I learned they were opening one in Wind Lake, which is closer to Muskego, I was very excited. I took the opportunity to bring a friend along and was glad to finally check it out. Food: We ordered a couple of lattes and some bakery items. I got my usual London Fog Tea Latte and a scone. When ordering, I made sure to let them know exactly what I wanted: whole milk, a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra frothy. When the London Fog was delivered to the table, it was filled so high that the tea was spilling onto the plate. There was a little foam on top, but not much texture underneath. It was the right temperature and had good flavor. One small suggestion on the tea latte: most places steep the tea to the right strength, remove the tea bag, and then add the frothed milk. Leaving the tea bag in tends to disrupt the texture and takes away from that smooth, luxurious foam. They didn’t have any scones in the case at first, but I was in luck because they had just brought some out from the kitchen. I assumed that meant they were freshly baked. Unfortunately, when I received mine, it was actually cold. It almost felt like it had been thawed rather than freshly baked. I took it back and asked if they could warm it up a bit, which definitely helped. Service: All of the staff we interacted with were nice and welcoming. We got friendly greetings, and they helped us through the ordering process, asking the right questions about tea and flavorings. One small miss was that they didn’t ask if we wanted the bakery item warmed up. Atmosphere: The place is newly opened and has been lovingly remodeled. The interior isn’t very large, but it feels bright and inviting. There are large windows across the front that bring in lots of natural light. Everything inside looks new, from the floors to the walls to the counters, and it’s all very well done. I’m glad we stopped in. This side of town can really benefit from a solid coffee shop. For me, they still need to work out some of the kinks with the tea lattes and the bakery items. With a little attention to detail and continued feedback, I think they can get there. I definitely plan to give them another try in the not too distant future."

"Great food, coffee, and energy drink. Good service. Even though it wasn’t very deep, given the number of employees behind the counter, somebody should have shoveled the snow before noon when it started melting. Support our local coffee shop! I look forward to going back and trying something else."

"Great little coffee shop that has a drive through! Good food with a decent sized menu. I love the coffee here and everyone is friendly"

"I love DW so much. My usual drink is a large cold brew with caramel and espresso. This morning I got the English muffin sandwich and it was the best egg sandwich I have ever had!! So fresh and delicious. I will happily go to DW over Starbucks any day."

"I’m ashamed to say that I finally just carved out the time to check this little coffee shop out!! It’s absolutely amazing! What a fabulous addition to the Windlake area - Staff was excellent service was excellent food also excellent! I went inside for my first visit, thinking that would be easier to review their menu and I’m so glad I did as I had no idea how charming and adorable the interior Mercantile is. This is by far my new favorite coffeehouse and the best part is that it is only a couple miles from my home. I had the Cubana Panini, which came with a pickle spear and potato chips, and you will see in my pictures how absolutely charming it was packaged for my to go order, it was amazing and perfectly made. I also had the Java chip Frappuccino, which was the best one I’ve ever had.. I will be Going here often!!"
