Great! When is opening day?

Hi, Craig - Cafe Agora hopes to open its doors either Monday March 12th or Wednesday March 14th.

Oasis failed its health inspection and Channel 4 reported it. Did they get so much less business after that that the owners decided to give it a change?

Will be looking forward to the new dining experience!! Good luck!!

Food is not the greatest!! 45 minutes to be served pretty poor. Will not return. Nothings changed other than the name

I thought the food was excellent.
Because it is new, I expected it to take a little longer to be served. The place was packed with people, that is always a good sign.
I hope they stay busy.

Tried it out this last week. The look and feel was new, and I thought it was a nice change and was done well. Prices are more comparable to the market (before they were so low - I don't know how they stayed in business with the older prices). The coffee is much better! The food was good as always, but with a little different twist.

Was there today for breakfast not bad of a wait. Considering it was a Sunday. Food came out amazing and the wait staff service was on top of the game. Delicious and more healthy items. We needed a restaurant like this can't compare to it before because it's a whole different concept and great reminding job! See you soon cafe agora!

Tried it twice. The first time was great, the server explained the new menu and recommended some great items (we loved it). The second time we had a server who had obviously worked there when it was named the Oasis. She informed us that it was the same old place (we just got a face lift and raised our prices). She did not recommend any of the new items we loved the first time. She made us feel as if we were back at the Oasis. The first time was well worth the wait and the price. The second visit was not at all.

Nothing has changed here except the decor, same wait staff, same choices. We checked out the menu on there website and we went in for breakfast. They did not have the same menu as the website has. We were excited to try some of the new pancakes and they would not make them. The blueberry crunch pancakes and the strawberry sundae pancakes sounded good on the menu, why they are not serving the foods they are advertising I do not know....we ignored the bad feedback on the website and decided to give it a try. I went back to the website and all of the comments have been removed and the customers are no longer able to give feedback on the site......very strange. Will not be back, this is just a re- decorated Oasis.

My wife and I had breakfast there this past Sunday. We were seated by a young lady who was not really on top of her game (she walked us to two different tables before seating us). Our server was great; she explained the menu and gave us some good suggestions, after that it was all downhill. We waited almost an hour after she took our order for our food, I could see her checking in the kitchen window where the food was coming out and looking for our orders and for other orders (I felt bad for her). When we finally got our food it was nasty, my wife’s omelet was partially raw in the middle and the sauce on my eggs Benedict was cold. If I had not watched the server take it out as soon as it was put up in the window and walked it 7-8 feet to our booth, I may have thought she had let it sit (it was served cold from the kitchen). We did not like the view we had of the kitchen. We would not have minded the increase in prices (the prices are very good for this type of a restaurant) had the omelet and eggs Benedict been edible. I cannot see this place staying in business long; I know we will not return. I would rather drive further and pay more so that I can eat cooked hot food in a timely manner.

We went in for breakfast last week about 10:30 am, We were seated by a young girl (16-17) she was very nice. We had looked at the website first and decided to try the place because of the gluten free items. Our server who was very nice explained that they were not serving the gluten free items. We asked for a manager because this was the reason we had come in. The same 16-17 year old came over after a few minutes and said she was the manager, she had to go talk with someone about the gluten free items and came back only to tell us they would no longer be served because the grill was not big enough. My mouth dropped open. Why are they still being advertised? Did the restaurant not know this when they advertised the items to begin with? The place was pretty empty also. A word of advice: have the items you advertise available and get some management (If she really was a manager) who knows how to deal with customers and who knows what is going on in your restaurant at all times. We will not return again. VERY DISAPOINTED.

My family of four got seated by a nice hostess younger lady. She sat us right away and promoted some specials like one of their smoothies. We waited 20 min for our food last saturday which was very reasonable, when they had a full house. Our waitress took care of us and actually came around to see if everything was ok unless like some other places where they just leave you and never come back. A good improvement was the kids menu they actually have coloring pads and coloring pencils which was nice because previously they did not have that. My stuffed strawberry french toast was amazing and something new. DEFINITELY WILL BE VISITING THEM SOON!

My co-workers and I work the night shift and occasionally like going out for a relaxing breakfast after our shift, this was not the place to do it. We thought the new menu looked good when we checked it out on line. The prime rib hash and the undersea omelet. They had neither item. As a matter of fact they did not have any of the specials that they had on the daily breakfast special list. I ended up with the corned beef hash that was not made from scratch at all. The same girl sat us, waited on us and worked the register. I believe she was there as a waitress before the place remodeled. So, I am not sure what has really changed here. Another work associate went there this past Saturday for a late lunch and the place was closed before 4. She said the front door was shattered and broken. The place was empty both times we went in and closed early on a Saturday afternoon, not a good sign. It was freezing cold inside and we could not get the items we wanted either time. We are now taking bets on how long it will be before they close the doors for good. We waited a long time for this to open. A new name and a remodeling job do not make a new restaurant.

I have visited Cafe Agora 3 times since it's been opened, and i was pleasantly surprised at the amazing food! The red velvet pancakes are to die for! so are the crepes stuffed with spinach and mushrooms....The fish fry was delicious...the ocean perch was the best i've had and the homemade tomato basil soup is a must to try....i will definitely be going there very soon!

My wife is an employee at Café Agora and yes, they have had a few bumps in the road as every business does when they first open. These bumps have been smoothed over and the Café Agora is on track. The food is ALL freshly made from scratch and made to order. The Café Agora cannot be compared to the Oasis as it is a completely different type of restaurant now. The new menu, décor and concept are what Menomonee Falls has needed for a very long time. The great items on the menu cannot be found in this area at any other restaurant. The cinnamon roll French toast is a favorite, they bake the rolls themselves and then slice and make the French toast with their own homemade cream cheese icing (it tastes just like a Cinnabon) if not better. The pecan wood smoked bacon is thick cut and also, cannot be found in this area. Please remember that change (even a good change like this) is hard for everyone (customers, servers, owners and employees) and give the Café Agora another try. Let them know when you come in that you had visited before and that it may not have been a good experience I guarantee you will have a very different opinion when you leave this time as, Their number one priority is customer satisfaction.

I love the place.. I have been in there several times since it has opened. I bring in my laptop as they have free wi- fi and I do my homework or study while I eat. The atmosphere is great. It is nice to be able to go somewhere and have a fresh fruit smoothie or a caramel macchiato (it is better, bigger and cheaper then Starbucks). The fresh made to order burgers are also great with the choice of fries, fresh fruit or red potatoes. You even get a cup of homemade soup with it. It was a little crazy when they first opened but I can honestly say that it has gotten better every time. I will continue to eat here.

Vasso Bavela – Owner of Café Agora
Thank you everyone for your comments positive or not. I appreciate your honesty and want to comment on what I have read to date.
I realize that some of you did not have a good experience and I admit that we have stumbled and struggled in our first few weeks. We opened with a new concept new menu new computer system new kitchen and everyone struggling with a learning curve.We quickly realized that our menu was too big for the kitchen to execute in a timely manner, our new computer system had bugs, and some of our cooks “could not handle the heat!” We found ourselves hiring and training new cooks within the first week.
We think we have worked through the start up struggles and I can tell you that things are running much smoother. We have streamlined our daily menu for now. Specialty items that we found to be too time-consuming to offer everyday, will be run as daily specials from time to time. We intend to add to our menu as we know we can efficiently prepare and serve it quickly.
I feel badly that some of you did not have a pleasant experience at Café Agora. I apologize for this. Your honesty motivates me, and we are working hard to improve. I am confident you will have a good experience in your next visit. So…please, give us a second chance. Thank you all who have taken time to provide feedback. We are striving to be the best, and we want our customers to be happy.

Just got back from a very bad experience dining at the new cafe agora.Being a Sunday, we expected a liitlle wait to be seated which was fine, only 10 minutes. What we didnt expect was to wait for almost 45 minutes to get three breakfast meals. When we did get our meals half of the order was missing and everything was warm, not hot. I would have to say the food was average, nothing special. We were very dissapointed in that we thought things were going to be different from Oasis(bad experience last year) We will stick to our normal breakfast establishment down the road.

We went there for a birthday breakfast. My daughter had pancakes which she said were very good. I order steak and eggs - what i got was NOT steak, i have no idea "what" it was as the taste was very strange and not at all good. The hash browns and eggs were tasteless. I was hoping for a new great place for breakfast and was sorely disappointed.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I GO THERE 2-3 TIMES A WEEK AND I HAVE NOT A BAD MEAL YET. THEIR BREAD IS REAL BREAD ... THE WHOLE WHEAT IS THE BEST I EVER HAD!! THE BACON IS FULL OF FLAVOR AND THE CINAMMON FRENCH TOAST MY WIFE'S FAVOR!
NEW LOOK AND GREAT FOOD!! MENOMONEE FALLS NEEDED A PLACE LIKE THIS!!

We went there today for lunch. Service was super slow. The server did everything she could to not have eye contact with the diners until she was ready to deal with them. The food was OK, I guess. It seems that there were more wait staff than necessary. They spent more time chatting with each other than serving their tables.
I will give it another chance someday, but not too soon.

Went for mothers day. Always enjoyed the restraunt before the change. Prices are exuberant. 3 dollars for a glass of milk? Had the 14 dollar buffet of 5 items. Hashbrowns or should I say potato mush, was litteraly the most disgusting thing I ever tasted. Should have stayed the restraunt it was before. My family will never go back. Wish I would have checked this website to see that more than 50% didn't enjoy this place. Would have chosen someplace that was actually worth those kinds of prices.

Went for Mother's Day buffet with my husband, mother, and two grandchildren. The restaurant was very busy, but we were quickly seated. 4 of us had the buffet which was excellent...the best turkey I ever had...just melted in my mouth. My elderly mother who usually doesn't have much of an appetite ate more than I'd seen her eat in a long time. It was a nice buffet with a big selection of meats and various potato dishes...The red roasted potatos are excellent. The sauted vegetables were very fresh, as well as fresh fruit and a nice variety of homemade muffins, breads and biscuits. The buffet also included a full breakfast select including my favorite which is their cinnamon roll french toast. My husband was happy because he could enjoy endless helpings of at least 6 different meats. It was good food and a nice atmosphere. We'll be back.

My husband and I had lunch there today and being a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all yet it took quite a while to get our food. The menu was very sparse and even the Greek food didn't seem very Greek to me! I had a coupon for $2 off an appetizer, but when I asked about them, the waitress had no idea about the coupon and worse yet, when she asked someone, they had no real appetizers to choose from! So my husband ordered eggs and pancakes (so not a big deal as far as taste) and I ordered a classic burger with soup, homemade chips and onion rings. The only good tasting thing on the plate was the beer brat cheese soup! The burger was dry and bland with no flavor at all, the homemade chips were way too salty and full of garlic, and the onion rings were nothing to write home about either! I left most of my food and so did my husband! Very disappointed in Cafe Agora's food and will NOT be back there any time soon!

I went to Cafe Agora for breakfast on Saturday and I was very satisfied!! I had the build-your-own skillet and it was fantastic!! The chicken was fresh and very well marinated, and the vegetables tasted very fresh!! The waitress was very kind and constantly came to check if everything was alright. Overall, a very modern and beautiful interior, great service and amazing food! I will definitely be coming back and recommending this to my friends and family!!

Went Friday night with my husband and two kids and had perhaps the best fish fry and clam chowder soup! My children had the mickey mouse pancakes which were decorated very nicely with whip cream, chocolate syrup, and a strawberry glaze. I had the beer batter fish with the red potatoes and it was excellent! Overall, the food and atmosphere was warm, and the wait staff was on top of their game! Well done Cafe Agora!

I stopped in by cafe agora today to get a quick breakfast before work. I herd alot of good comments from my neighbours so decided to try it out for my self. I went with a friend of mine got sat down right away. The decor in their is very up to date and clean. I had the country omlete while my friend had the blueberry waffle. The food was excellent came out within 15 min. It was fresh and we had the option with our food to get fruit bowls. So we got that as well. Over all a great breakfast restaurant! Next time i am coming their for fathers day as i see they will have a buffet!

Well i was there for my third time for the sunday buffet and i have to say this time there was something different about it. They switched it up and added better stuff like doughnuts and more pastries and their quiche was good! My kids liked their brownies something they didnt have in the past. I love the ham and the red potatoes! I am glad they added the other table in addition to their buffet counter helps out! It was needed. I was there at 10am and it was packed!
