Visitor Testimonials (313)

The location is very unique and cute. Great for small meetings or working remote. I had the golden chai and it was delicious.

High quality craft coffee & beautiful views of the Fox River. The best coffee I’ve had in the Appleton area! They make their syrups in house & shake up the iced lattes before pouring them into your cup, making them smooth, well mixed & frothy. The baristas were friendly & really added to the chill atmosphere! The only thing that could make this coffee shop better is if they had almond milk as a milk option! (They currently have regular dairy milk & oat).

Great little coffee shop! The gal that made my drink was really helpful with the menu and suggestions, and she nailed it. Great place to sit and relax or do some work. It sits right on the water and has really good views all around.

I often do not take the time to review an establishment due to busy schedules, but the experience I had as a first time customer was truly so enjoyable. After simply typing in, "Coffee Shops Near Me" after an appointment in town, I was led to this place. The barista selected one of their speciality lattes, a flavor I have never had and it was delicious. The barista could not have been nicer!

This place is an absolute gem. The cafe space is nice with lots of seats, a great view of the river and calm atmosphere. Coffee is amazing and the latte I got was made perfectly. The person who made my drink was kind and fun to talk to as well. 10/10 will be back again!

A really neat vibe. A usual wait for coffee the location is interesting near a lock and dam setting on the river - coffee is the best quality , each cup is made in open sight and usually two friendly baristas who are conversational when you order. Prices are higher than some other local places but the ambience is quiet and the views are unique

Very aesthetically pleasing cafe! Friendly and helpful staff, with lots of opportunities to come with friends or alone. The seasonal latte I got was delicious! I will definitely be returning!

This place has incredible coffee. The drinks are adventurous, smooth, and well worth the trip. After tasting their coffee I realized that I had never enjoyed a truly well balanced cup of joe. Every sip shows the effort that they put into their craft. The service is always welcoming and they are more than willing to tweak drinks for personal taste or make recommendations. The ambiance is great and the WiFi is fast so it’s the perfect place for working or studying. They have gender neutral bathrooms and inclusive signage around the shop. My wife enjoys more classic flavors and some of our trips are hit or miss with her because you can’t get a typical sweet vanilla latte. I enjoy the twist on every drink, but I think they might benefit from having an ultra basic option without bitters. They have a sweet latte, but it isn’t to her liking. That said, a few of the drinks that she’s gotten have been “the best coffee ever.” This place is a must try. Make sure you go seasonally (Let’s get real. Go weekly. At least.) to try their changing menus! Bonus tip: their mascorpone toast with wild blueberries is perfection and worth the splurge.
