Food is always delicious and the presentation is always very professional! Highly recommend the salmon everything bagel. And all the drink options are very good. This is a high end place for up north! Can't wait to try their dinner menu when they start dinner mid May. There breakfast menu is limited but the food is very high quality and not mass produced

We ordered coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and some treats and everything was delicious. The food felt gourmet and tasted like it had fresh tomatoes and cucumbers on it. We’d definitely go back. There was also an indoor and outdoor seating area.

Braise North has found a way to bring cute, cozy, elevated and unique to Lakewood! Everything we have tried is suburb and has depth of flavor. From the am bakery to dinner we have not been disappointed. A true gem, the owners are present and care about their customers and experience. I love that they keep moving forward enhancing customer experience with the take home meal kits, outdoor seating and the latest addition of the winter domes. Congratulations to Braise North and I can't wait to see how you continue to enhance the community!

An amazing gem in the north woods. Morning Cappuccino or Expresso in a mug with heavenly pastries- try the Crossants and Quiches. Small plates for dinner are unique and desserts are a must. Quality over quantity is the theme, but it is enough. You will not be disappointed. Clean, well appointed, and friendly. Outdoor seating and reservations accepted. A must visit place anywhere, but in Lakewood, you should not pass this up. As someone with high expectations, trust me, you will love the experience.

I would recommend Braise North to anyone who visits/lives in Lakewood. I would recommend it for coffee/tea or breakfast. Every time I visit, it is such a great experience! The chai tea is very good. If you are wondering, it is more of an earthy chai rather than a sugary one. The everything bagel with scallion cream cheese? Amazing! And filling! Not to mention, the aesthetic of the building’s interior and food is beautiful. Also, all of the food is homemade from their kitchen. As you can see in the picture below, I ordered an iced chai tea latte and an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The total for both of these items is about $8. The prices of food on the menu vary from a couple dollars to about $12.
