What People Are Saying About Louisa's Bakery & Cafe

The Scene – Louisa's patrons like to linger over reading or conversation. Charming Luise Mooney and her friendly staff draw houseboaters and everyone else who lives in the Eastlake neighborhood. Patrons fit in as if the place were their own. Even the musical-chairs rush to find a place to sit is familiar. All the same characters seem to be hanging around, too: writing groups, business people, new-age types and rumpled youths clutching notebooks. – – The Food – They all come for comfort and big breakfasts (check out the paprika-tinged country potatoes), fresh baked…

My favorite place for breakfast
by Lewjean
A neighborhood icon! Going strong under new owners and still filling up with neighbors, friends meeting friends, groups, singles reading the paper with a watchful eye. A great place for food and catching up.
- Pros: Great baked goods, potatoes & eggs

Horrendous Owner & employees
by russovr
I must admit that the food is excellent; however, one Sunday I went in and ordered breakfast. Louisa waited on me. When I mentioned that $10.75 seemed a little high for scrambled eggs, she went off on me. Said "I asked you if you wanted sides" and I said Yes. Then she said, well I must not have heard you. She was so angry, she yanked the menu away from me and was literally shaking. Personally, 14-Carrot Cafe is better and you won't have a psycho waiting on you. I have never felt so attacked in my life. And of course, they left off the toast........Are there any good psychiatrists out there willing to take her on?
- Pros: Good breakfast
- Cons: horrible rude employees and owner

Can't keep away from the food, even though I'd like to...

Louisas' food is really really good~ which is why I tolerate the terrible service. I don't think they're discriminatory, as is noted in other reviews, I think it's equal opportunity rudeness. The owner is the worst offender by far and the rest of the staff just follow suit. Think of going to Louisa's like the soup-nazi from Seinfeld. You won't get special treatment or service, but you'll get a hell of a good meal! Their pastries are fantastic and breakfasts are fabulous, too. My dogs love the bowser bisquits as well.
- Pros: kick-ass food
- Cons: horrible service
