Green Bay’s Best Coffee Shops
Each with a buzzing coffee scene, there are a number of local options in Green Bay that offer great coffee, their local flair, and the perfect vibe. Churning out great coffee, teas, and other specialty drinks, these coffee shops—in no particular order—are all places I have personally been to, love going to, and love going back to. There are many other options in Green Bay, including national chains, but I will only be considering local shops. These are the ones that I think have the best overall vibe, best service, and the best drinks themselves to make up this list of Green Bay’s best coffee shops.
1. The Attic
A cute shop near downtown Green Bay, it is a coffee and used bookstore! There are always people enjoying their time, nestled in nooks and corners reading, playing card games, and drinking coffee. The Attic has a great tea selection, which of course is my favorite thing to order off the menu. They also have some baked goods, and all their coffees are Fair Trade, Organic.
2. Copper Rock
Copper Rock has two types of brewers: brewing coffee and brewing their own beer. The shop came to the Green Bay area in 2017, taking over the old Hinterland Brewery building, and the owners did a remodel of the building when they first came to Green Bay. They roast their own beans out of their Appleton location on College Ave, which is where they initially started. The space is charming and well done. Copper Rock even has beer and food to select from. They have a number of coffee brews and tea options to choose from, such as Rishi, and is open until 10:00 at night serving dinner. Their original, crafted beers are on tap at Copper State Brewing Co. and even have some seasonal beer. You can enjoy a delicious variety of IPA, lager, and ale brews within their selection.
3. The Creamery
While The Creamery is not a straight up coffee shop, they are a great lunch spot, and have the best breakfasts in Green Bay. Their chai is also out of this world, which I think is one of the best in the area, and why I just had to include them on this best coffee shops list. They make their chai from scratch, and all their food is delicious! They are located in downtown Green Bay right on the river and The CityDeck boardwalk.
4. Daily Buzz
Right in the corner of the historic Bellin Building in downtown Green Bay, Daily Buzz is a small, great spot to pop in for a quick refresh right on the east side of the river. They always have interesting and different drink options on their menu. They also serve a variety of food and teas. You can contact them with any questions and even for their catering options here.
4. The Exchange
First off, the design elements in The Exchange are amazing! One of the owners is an interior designer and all of the details are incredibly thought out. It is a beautiful place to meet, and I have actually done a number of photo shoots there for KLEM Studios and KLEM and Co. Their drinks are awesome! I really like their vanilla Latte, chai latte, and of course their loose-leaf teas, which they have a great selection on the menu as well. Also serving food, The Exchange is known for their crepes and waffles—they even have gluten free and vegan options! Located in the charming downtown De Pere, The Exchange is partnered with local coffee roasters, like Ruby Coffee Roasters out of Stevens Point, to create a variety of flavorful blends for espresso and drip coffee…
5. Kavarna
Located downtown Green Bay, Kavarna is a staple in the Green Bay coffee scene. Located right on Broadway Street, it is great meeting place, also has fantastic food options and even vegetarian options! Their baked goods are amazing! Kavarna’s chocolate chunk cookies are out of this world, and I almost always have to get one every time I go. My favorite drinks are chai latte with oat milk, and any of their loose-leaf teas that they bring in—they are incredibly delicious. They serve blended coffees that are sourced and roasted in Milwaukee, by Anodyne Coffee.
6. Luna
Another great coffee option, Luna roasts their very own beans. They have two locations in Green Bay after just expanding earlier in 2019. Their coffee is dynamite! Hinterland Brewery even uses their coffee in one of their core stouts that they brew throughout the year. Luna has food too that is great. Being a tea drinker, I love their extensive loose-leaf tea menu as well. I judge a lot of coffee shops on their chai, whether or not they use real spices or concentrate, or if the espresso is burned, but Luna is top notch every time I’ve been there and their chai is excellent.
These coffee shops are ones I love to frequent and they never disappoint! I’d love to know what your favorite local coffee shops are. Share with me where you like to go and what your favorite drink is. Contact me here with what you recommend, and I’d love to connect!
Much love and appreciation,
