History

Established in 1991.

Started as La Boulangerie in 1991 when the Shops at East Towne Square were built. Changed to café 1505 in 1999 and have enjoyed the Mequon community ever since. For 20 plus years served breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch along with our prepared foods and gourmet take-​out in our expanded deli!

Café 1505 expanded in early 2014 to include a brand new space for the deli with extra seating and more daily prepared food options in a casual and relaxed space. Good for off hours like coffee and a good book mid morning, a small lunch or snack at 3, or a quick stop for grab and go dinner.

With the deli expansion a bar was added. Featuring WI craft bottled beers and spirits, tap/​glass/​bottle wines, and specialty cocktails. Great place for an app and a tap.

Love this place! Never disappoints on service and food. Had the barbecue sandwich special and it was fresh and tasty. Love the Asian slaw too.

Café 1505 was fantastic! The strawberry ricotta Challah french toast I ordered was unbelievably well done. The mimosas we ordered were served in adorable little glasses and our server was attentive, helpful AND funny!
We asked for advice on what we should see while visiting and she had tons of ideas and even brought a manager over to chat with us.
We will DEFINITELY be visiting again!

Stopped here en route home from the Milwaukee airport. As a vegetarian, I am used to having limited choices, but I had a difficult time deciding what to choose! The cinnamon bun French toast was delicious but I will definitely be back to try the quesadilla and the house made veggie burger. There is patio seating and that is what we asked for, however, after being seated, the wind kicked up and we asked to be re-​seated inside. This request was graciously accommodated. The atmosphere is pleasant and the recently expanded gourmet take out section was very tempting.

Went there for sunday brunch. They had good food. The service was ok. Could be a bit more friendly. The place does have very good deserts.

Service was terrible. They forgot about us multiple times and took almost until the end of the meal to get a drink we ordered at the beginning of the meal. Also they didn’t ask and grouped all of mine and my friends bills together. When we asked to have it divided they acted like that was the hardest task for them. Food wasn’t very good and overpriced for what it’s worth. Had a hard time finding something I wanted to eat and I’m not a picky eater. I won’t be going back ever again.

Came here for a fundraiser based on wine and beer, but couldn’t resist trying the «Monticello Mary,» their signature Bloody Mary made with sage liqueur. It was delicious! Read the full review here:

Best Brunch n Breakfast in Mequon.
Menu always has something unique to choose from. Coffee is great and service at the bar is usually quick.
Prefect for couples or families alike you can’t go wrong.

I think the food is fantastic as it fresh and from local farms. When eating you can feel that the food contains high quality ingredients. I understand that the prices are higher than other places, but in my opinion I rather spend more money for better food.
If you don’t care about quality and would like a bag of chips this is not the place for you… It makes me feel very disappointed when I only see a few stars… I guess some people only care about having a cheap eat and don’t care what they eat
The restaurant is very cozy which makes it a nice eating experience.
We have come here for the last five years and have not been disappointed… my son loves the Mickey Mouse pancakes…

Everything has been a hit lately! Recently had their eggplant pita which could easily turn me into a vegetarian. It’s baked inside a pita with feta cheese, both my co worker and I thought it was outstanding. Today I had the Honey crisp Arugula & Chevre Salad-​LOVE IT! It’s perfect mix of sweet (honey crisp apples & candied pecans) with savory goat cheese, red onions, and lemon dressing. Get it while it’s still on the menu!
Highly recommend their catering as well. I use them on a regular basis and always get compliments on how delicious the food is. Catering shows up on time and always has the correct order. If you order catering on a regular basis you know how rare it can be to have your order show up on time and be correct.
So to recap: catering is great, quinoa salad, kale salad, chicken cobb club, eggplant pita, and the new arugula salad are all winners.

This place was above average when it came to food… it took a little longer than I would have hoped to get service and seated, but it was a busy day.
Will I go back, yes? Was it worth the price… probably.

Absolutely some of the freshest, and most delicious food I’ve had in and around Milwaukee! Changing specials during the week and then on weekends for brunch are carefully crafted and never disappoint. The from scratch quiche is the best I’ve ever had. Their selection of tortes and other bakery is indulgent. The in house prepared salads in the deli present healthy options with mind-​blowing flavours. On top of all the great food to be find at decent prices, what really stands out at Café 1505, is the over the top great service. From walking in, being sat, to food service times and attentive and friendly servers, this place goes out of their way to please. I love it! A real gem in the greater Milwaukee area!

After searching Unilocal for a nice breakfast place we decided on 1505. I was a little concerned about pricing when we drove into the lot and there were a decent amount of high end automobiles parked. I went in and checked the menu and to my surprise, the pricing was spot on for breakfast. A lot of items under $ 10 or right around it. There are a lot of wonderful sounding meals here for breakfast but I decided on their veggie burger. WoW! it is amazing. Wonderful flavors, avocado on top, and a hearty homemade bun — perfect! 1505 serves up a great meal.

This is a great gem that draws a cult like community in the North Shore area.
Located in the same shopping center as where i get my haircut, I ALWAYS have to stop in here either before or after. They have a great selection of food that is always fresh and delicious. I tend to keep just to the sweets and items they have in the case for the day.
They have a great selection of pastries and other prepared dishes that you can eat at one of the high tops or take to go. You can also sit down at one of the several tables to enjoy a great, quick meal.
Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area to stop by for a quick treat!

This place is a gem! I haven’t found many places like this outside of big cities. The food and coffee were great and the staff was very friendly. There were lots of delicious fresh and healthy options, great salads and sandwiches, and great mix and match options so you didn’t have to order more food than you could eat.
The only reason this place isn’t getting a 5 is that something about the atmosphere a little off. Its in a strip mall type setting, and though the concept of a cute coffee shop is there, the layout and design are still a bit cookie-​cutter corporate feeling.

You can usually win me over with eggs. Café 1505 must have insider information regarding this fact.
For starters, they use eggs from Old Plank Farm, who I used for my 2012 CSA. Did I ever mention that those were the best eggs I’ve ever had? Knowing that they start with a fantastic product wins them points from me already.
I tend to order their quiche of the day. These delicious eggs as mixed with roasted vegetables and mushrooms with a side. They are typically generous enough that I can take a small piece home for later. Another great choice is the Roasted Sweet Potato Quesadilla. My friends typically go back specifically for this item and I agree, it is mighty tasty.
Café 1505 also has excellent catering and delivers to select areas. Their business box lunches are a hit at meetings with both hot and cold options.
The staff is friendly and is accommodating. Waits can be longer during prime time lunch and brunch hours, but off times are a breeze for seating. You can also call ahead for pickup and have a picnic if you like. In any case, they make great, fresh food and have a lot of great items to choose from.
Other items of note: They are located in the strip mall with Erik of Norway and Laacke and Joys (although they have moved/​are moving). It is easiest to enter the at the mall entrance by Erik of Norway and hang a right. You can also enter though the glass «hamster tunnel» and make a left. They have a sunny patio for warm summer days too. Bring your sunglasses and soak up the Vitamin D!

I’ve been meaning to go here for a while (what with me living in Mequon’s most notable suburb, Brown Deer) and finally made it today for a little pre-​movie brunch. The wait was longer than expected (about 30 minutes) and some of the patrons seemed a little pushy and entitled. You know the type. The food was decent, but nothing outstanding. I had a roasted sweet potato quesadilla, which was at least something different than standard deli fare. Though I had to ask for it, the avocado salsa was really quite good — the best part of my meal. Doubt I’ll be back anytime soon, unless perhaps I want to fuel up before a major shopping spree at Faye’s. (Cue laughter.)
