I spent the entirety of 2025 visiting coffee shops across Wisconsin. It was my initial plan to have an individualized post for each location. Each place has its own style, history and ambiance, and l wanted to give you an opportunity to experience some of those qualities through my eyes.
However, I have to embrace the reality of the situation. The part I enjoy most about this hobby is the travel, the random/spontaneous adventures and meeting new and interesting people. Visiting as many coffee shops as I do means that often it is not feasible for me to write on my experiences for every one. However, I still want to showcase the locations I visited and give you the opportunity to connect with these small businesses.
The coffee shops that stood out most to me, will have their own individualized reviews as normal. I still have many coffee shops in the pipeline for this treatment. The remainder from 2025, will be found on this list.
So here’s what I’ll do: Each location below will contain a short sentence or two about the experience there. I’ll try to write down the drink I ordered if I remember it. Along with that, I will include links pertaining to the businesses, be that a website, social media account or both. I’ve also included links to my Instagram posts if you would like to see pictures from my visit.
Regardless of how I feel about specific ambiances or experiences, the most important thing to me is that you give every coffee shop a chance. Every location (and owner) has their own unique perspective on what they believe a coffee shop should be like. None of these are an incorrect way to do it. So please, check them out for yourselves to see what your own favorites are!
I’m always interested in new locations, or hearing about your travels. Please reach out if you have a new adventure to share!

Center Street Cafe, LLC

Website · My original post
Clean Slate Coffee House
Rothschild, WI · Central WI · Visited March 9, 2025
Note: Crazy busy, one of the few sit-in cafes with a drive-thru. Somewhat reminded me of a fast-food restaurant, yet it didn’t feel commercialized. It was a good execution of high volume coffee, while also keeping a layer of its own character.
What I ordered: Caramel-Bourbon Nitro Brew with Cold Foam
Address: 1027 E Grand Ave, Rothschild, WI 54474 — Open in Google Maps
Facebook · My original post

Facebook · My original post
Crosshatch Coffee Co.
Siren, WI · Northwest WI · Visited October 29, 2025

Website · Facebook · My original post
D
Daily Brew Co.
Westby, WI · Driftless / Coulee Region · Visited September 20, 2025

Website · Facebook · My original post

Sturgeon Bay, WI · Door County · Visited August 10, 2025
Note: One of the largest self-producing roasters I’ve visited. Highly commercialized and the inside was VERY busy! Waited in line for 15 minutes to try an Apple Pie Frappe topped with crushed graham crackers. Never had something like it, and worth it for a seasonal special!
What I ordered: Apple Pie Frappe
Address: 5773 WI-42, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 — Open in Google Maps
Website · Facebook · My original post
E
Eb Flo Coffeehouse
Sheboygan, WI · Lakeshore · Visited August 10, 2025
Note: One of the largest seating areas I’ve seen in a coffee shop. They are known for their bakery. It’s right on the pier-walk, on Lake Michigan. I’ve been here a few times, as a good place to stop and play a board game or go for a walk afterwards!
Address: 340 South Pier Dr, Sheboygan, WI 53081 — Open in Google Maps
Website · Facebook · My original post
F
FAIR Brew & Trade
Cedarburg, WI · Ozaukee / Washington County · Visited March 22, 2025

Address: N70 W6340 Bridge Rd, Ste 212, Cedarburg, WI 53012 — Open in Google Maps

The Gnoshery
Sturgeon Bay, WI · Door County · Visited August 12, 2025
Note: This place was board-game central. All drinks and wall art are board-game/DnD themed. Staff gave me a full store tour. This was one very close to making my top list. A really cool idea for a coffee shop. I just don’t do enough board games in this chapter of my life. But I’d recommend it to those of you that do!
Address: 23 N 3rd Ave, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 — Open in Google Maps

The Goat Coffee House
Eau Claire, WI · Chippewa Valley · Visited October 21, 2025

Website · Facebook · My original post
Grace Coffee Co
Milwaukee, WI · Third Ward · Visited April 7, 2025

Website · Facebook · My original post
Grounded Patio Cafe
La Crosse, WI · Driftless / Coulee Region · Visited September 28, 2025

Oshkosh, WI · Fox Valley & Lake Winnebago · Visited July 12, 2025

What I ordered: Chai Latte
Address: Mobile coffee truck — Lifest, Oshkosh, WI 54904 (no fixed storefront) — Open in Google Maps
Website · My original post

Icki Sticki

Address: 407 W Verona Ave, Verona, WI 53593 — Open in Google Maps

Instagram · Facebook · My original post
Janey’s Cafe
Coleman, WI · Northeast WI · Visited July 23, 2025
Note: It was attached to a gas station. The kind of building that you’d normally expect to see a chinese food take-out place in. But instead, the inside gave off this homey rustic farmhouse vibe. They also sell a few sandwiches and soft-serve ice cream.
Address: 200 Sunset Ave, Coleman, WI 54112 — Open in Google Maps

Website · Facebook · My original post
The Living Room Coffee Shop & Vintage Decor
Clintonville, WI · Northeast WI · Visited March 9, 2025
Note: World’s-largest-living-room vibe, very homey and reminded me of something you’d see in an Andy Griffith show. First shop I’ve seen with a Banana Butterscotch Steamer (At that time, I didn’t even know what a Steamer was)

Website · Facebook · My original post

Address: 2665 Monroe Rd #130, Bellevue, WI 54311 — Open in Google Maps
Website · Facebook · My original post
M
Manitowoc Coffee
Manitowoc, WI · Lakeshore · Visited July 27, 2025

Address: 706 York St, Manitowoc, WI 54220 — Open in Google Maps
Facebook · My original post
Mingle Cafe & Coffee Bar
Wind Lake, WI · Southeast WI · Visited September 15, 2025
Note: Quaint stop with a very respectful, helpful barista; made my own espresso tonic since it wasn’t on the menu. It’s really more a bar than a coffee shop, but that’s how they do it in Europe, so why not here?
What I ordered: Espresso Tonic (self-assembled)
Address: 7957 W Wind Lake Rd, Wind Lake, WI 53185 — Open in Google Maps
Website · Facebook · My original post
The Morgue Coffee Co.
Rhinelander, WI · Northwoods · Visited July 23, 2025

O
Oasis Café
Fitchburg, WI · Madison Area · Visited March 29, 2025
Note: Industrialized-seaside vibe. I wish I had a better descriptor for it. There was unique ambient lighting, large windows, and sparse foliage on the walls.

Website · Instagram · Facebook · My original post
The Open Door Coffeehouse
Mayville, WI · Central WI · Visited February 2, 2025

P
Payne’s Coffeehaus and Teas
Monroe, WI · Driftless / Coulee Region · Visited September 15, 2025
Note: They have the largest menu variety I’ve seen, including the elusive White Bean coffee. White beans are harder and more difficult to grind up, so it requires a specialized grinder to do so. The building was made out of someone’s house, and there were many themed rooms, large tables and tons of board games to play.
What I ordered: White Bean coffee
Address: 921 15th Ave, Monroe, WI 53566 — Open in Google Maps
Website · Facebook · My original post
Perks Coffee Cafe
Monroe, WI · Driftless / Coulee Region · Visited September 18, 2025

Facebook · My original post
Pink Mocha Cafe & Coffee House
Hartland, WI · Milwaukee Metro · Visited January 30, 2025

What I ordered: White Mocha (but very overly sweet)
Address: 418 Merton Ave, Hartland, WI 53029 — Open in Google Maps
Website · My original post
PK Beans N’ Cream
Manitowoc, WI · Lakeshore · Visited July 27, 2025

Facebook · My original post
The Potter’s Shed
Shell Lake, WI · Northwest WI · Visited October 27, 2025
Note: A pottery studio, gallery and cafe sharing one roof in Shell Lake. It was closed for the season when I rolled through, so this one’s still on my list for a future Northwest Wisconsin trip. It was unique enough to include it here, regardless of my actual visit.
Address: 260 Industrial Blvd, Shell Lake, WI 54871 — Open in Google Maps

Scatterbrain Café
Downsville, WI · Chippewa Valley · Visited September 28, 2025

Website · Facebook · My original post
The Sow’s Ear
Verona, WI · Madison Area · Visited March 29, 2025
Note: Matcha Soda (matcha, sparkling water, pine-berry syrup) was very unique, though I’d prefer milk to sparkling water.
What I ordered: Matcha Soda

Wake Up Whitetail Coffee
Brandon, WI · Fox Valley & Lake Winnebago · Visited February 2, 2025
Note: They had taxidermy animals lining the walls. This place really feels like back-country Wisconsin. Hunting-themed in a remote town. They had house-made ‘Shotgun’ energy drinks. The remote nature of their town meant zero cell service. This made for some good distraction-free time for my to paint & draw.
What I ordered: Caramel Macchiato
