Crema's Take
“Oak Street Cafe is a beloved neighborhood spot tucked away in a De Pere shopping center that punches well above its weight with generous, genuinely tasty breakfast and comfort food that keeps regulars coming back. The cozy-yet-spacious atmosphere makes it equally suited for a leisurely solo coffee session or a family gathering, and the kitchen handles special requests with care and precision. It's the kind of hidden gem where reasonable prices and warm service match the quality of the food, earning its solid reputation as a go-to breakfast destination in the area.”

The portions were more than adequate without being overwhelming. Very tasty food. I’m a sucker for chicken fried steak with gravy for breakfast and am always disappointed when a restaurant skimps on the gravy. They did not disappoint me! My wife had their special, which was potato pancakes. She thought they were delicious. The only points I deducted were for the atmosphere and that was just a quibble about the parking which was strip mall and inadequate in front.
Oak street has some great food but we aren’t likely to be back anytime soon, both due to service and cleanliness. A poor kid threw up at his table and not a single girl standing around behind the counter did anything. Our waiter was busy with most of the tables and couldn’t stop to help but i noticed a blonde girl in a blue sweater make eye contact with the parent TWICE and actively turned around and walked away/ was suddenly busy helping customers. The parent cleaned up the entire thing and when i (loudly) told him to just leave it since they literally are letting you stew in your son’s juices and they can come finish cleaning, suddenly she comes over saying “here let me help” after the parent had already done all the cleaning up. Her and a fellow waitress “cleaned” up but left ALL of the CONTAMINATED table dressings on the table (that the kid LITERALLY threw up on). The ketchup, the salt and pepper, everything. I have been to some dives where someone has defecated on their seat and it was handled swiftly and immediately and I would return to them due to the quick and kind nature of the service. The parent was too stressed and nice to say anything so I defintely will on their behalf because i’m honestly apalled. It was a good five minutes before ANYONE even helped, even after three people (a wonder elderly woman, the parent, and myself) tried to ask for help or a wet towel or SOMETHING. The male waitress was the only one to bring them an actual physical towel when he had the chance instead of swinging by to throw napkins at the issue and let the parent do all the work. My mother and I were grossed out and upset at the way these parents were treated.
The food was amazing, service was wonderful, even with tons of special requests, they got everything right, very reasonable prices, atmosphere both cozy and spacious. We were very pleased with everything!
This hole-in-the-wall place is a hidden gem. It sits in a small strip of businesses that looks like an office building. The food and service have been excellent every time we’ve gone here. It’s reasonably priced and they have a great selection. We’ll definitely be back.
As i was passing through Green Bay, I found this place searching for breakfast spots. The place seems a little hidden as it is in a shopping center from the street, but once inside, it is just pure deliciousness. I got the mushroom omlette, and my girl got the Salisbury steak, and both dishes were just perfection. I wanted to try so much more, but I was full. My only hope is that I come back through really soon to try the Stuffed French Toast which I don't get food envy very often but when I saw the waitress walk past me it looked like a dream with whipped cream and Strawberries. Definitely try this place you will not be dissapointed.
