DD is carpet bombing this area.
I like the local coffee shops better...

So then keep visiting them, Mr. Lundt...

Wow amazing that all of the traffic concerns have been resolved in such a short time. Since DD gets a drive through does this mean the Le Cafe Bistro can have one too? They were previously denied. Stand by to watch the corporate franchise put the local bistro out of business. Sad.

Boycot this DD and give your business to Le Cafe Bistro. So unfair that they were denied drive-thru but this big money corporation gets one. Town of Waukesha--you messed up

I love the Bistro but anyone who even drive by the locations understand why DD go the drive thru and the Bistro did not.

My guess is they didnt want traffic to be backing up on Sunset Drive, and where Cafe Bistro is, there is no side street to use for the drive thru, but where DD will be there is a side street? Who knows...all I can see is I am happy that DD is coming to town! :)

DD has a massive parking lot and is set way back from sunset or any road.
The bistro has a tiny lot and is very close to the only road it shares access with... The drive thru decision was right...

Testimony at the hearing indicated Cafe Bistro is on the wrong side of their building. If they were on the west side of their building instead of the east side, they would have a drive through. Location, location, location....

I agree with Sean. I love DD's coffee.

Since cafe bistro was denied the drive up then why did they move there. like you said LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. cant wate for DD to move in.

I live way too close to this site, so have been following for several years. Bistro applied for a drive thru prior to moving in, and were told No. If the drive thru was approved, they would have been on the other end of the building. But since it was denied, they opted to move in and change their biz plan. Their building is the same setback as DD is proposing. Interestingly enough, minutes from Wauk County Plan Commission from way back then shows the site is approved for fast food, but withOUT a drive thru. Once again, the Town is embroiled in controversy. Looks like it could be yet another black eye on the Town. Poor call Town of Waukesha, Lets see how this gets covered up. Precisely why Sonic was turned down to the West, and why this property has been vacant for so many years. There reallys seems to be no rhyme or reason to the Towns growth strategy. Good thing the County oversees as well. Lets keep supporing the locals.

Interestingly enough, the footprint plans of DD is the same as Bistro. DD will encroach on St Vinnys parking, especially IF they fill it out with other tenants. BIstro strip mall actually owns a large portion across the boulevard specifically for parking, which the drive thru will go right thru. The bistro is such a unique spot, I will contine to frequent them.
