With the soothing trickle of a water fountain serving as background noise inside its four seasons patio, tables of four can engage in quiet conversation, or as one customer did this week, crack open a novel while leisurely polishing off a panini.
It’s exactly what owners Jenelle and Michael Glime envisioned in 2001 when they opened their quaint European-inspired café just off Algoma’s lakefront. Two years later, they moved to a renovated 1891 Italianate-style brick building, the unique aesthetic affording them an opportunity to showcase one of Northeastern Wisconsin’s hidden summer hotspots.
“The main goal was to have something different, something healthier with a Mediterranean focus,” Michael Glime said of his wife’s initial vision for a local coffeehouse. “Nothing is fried here. It’s a lot of homemade creations, be it our quiches, Italian crepes, signature sandwiches or gelato. We’re always looking for the best product.”
Nice to see Mike and Jenelle getting some of the recognition they deserve. Just had breakfast there yesterday — the Quiche Lorraine is to die for and everything on the menu is almost as delicious. Do stop by when you’re in Algoma…
