What a gem of a spot! The food was superb! Coffee was perfect. Staff was all very attentive, professional, and kind. What a fun, upbeat, breath of fresh air in the Wausau / Rib Mountain dining scene. I would eat here for any meal of the day - not just breakfast! Sampled/Pictured: The Savory Dutch Baby (Gruyère Fondu!?!?! To die for!), a steak and egg brekki, and some super tasty cold brew concoctions!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Breakfast Bear in Wausau is such a gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with simple, minimal décor that feels refreshing and not overwhelming. The place is spotless, and the service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. I absolutely loved the freshly squeezed orange juice—it tasted so bright and fresh. Breakfast itself was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. This spot has quickly become a favorite, and I can’t wait to come back again!

We stopped at Breakfast Bear on a whim, first time ever. I had one of their signature, Fig & Prosciutto toast plate with an extra poached egg. My husband had the Huevos Rancheros. Food was amazing and such a welcoming CLEAN atmosphere. I'd drive the 2 hours just to stop here again. Our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) was so sweet, prompt and attentive.
