24 Best Coffee Shops in Appleton

“The best coffee in the Fox Valley!“

“Great place, great latte, but shouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes for it to be made with only 2 orders in front of you.“

“In the little hut the people are so nice,helpful and friendly.“

“Amazing atmosphere and great coffee!“

“Good drinks. Nice people. Cute and cozy spot! Just the right amount of merch and decor. We’ll be back for sure! Thanks Gnarly Grain!“

“Everything is always great here, as far as food and service.

I wish there were a few more comfortable spots though for getting work done on a laptop. Not the most efficient table layout to accommodate big and small groups in the space. It’s not my first choice downtown solely because of this.

Also not a fan of the random guy playing a guitar. Not clear if it’s “live music” or just some guy playing. But it’s making it loud for no reason on a Tuesday morning, if it’s just a practice sesh the staff could have asked him to go outside not drown out the conversation of everyone meeting for coffee this morning. If that’s the case it’s also pretty rude on his part, but that’s not the fault of the business other than they allow it.

Overall this is a great spot to visit, stroller friendly. Great food. Big menu. Vegan and vegetarian options. Higher priced than your average chain coffee, but the quality is there.“

“My husband and my favorite ice cream shop in town! We always go once a week! The ice cream and churros are delicious and the owner is always welcoming and kind. He works tirelessly for his community and always looks for ways to give back. I’m grateful to have Frio’s in our community here in Appleton! 🍦“

“amazing selection, endless opportunities to create ur own or enjoy one of their specialties.. fast and friendly crew...“

“The food was amazing. My wife and I had the chai teas and I had the chicken bacon ranch. It was superb! 10/10“

“The Caramello is a coffee experience like none other Ive ever had. My son ordered it and let me try. It was amazeballs.“

“I enjoy having the convenience of having a coffee shop inside Festival Foods. I enjoy the fact even more that it is a Caribou Coffee. I love the coffee from this place and every time I come, the staff here is so friendly and helpful. If you have never tried one of their breakfast sandwiches, I encourage anyone to try one. Delicious. Great coffee and food with exceptional service and convenience. What more could anyone ask for? (BTW if you are a Caribou Rewards member, they can credit your account or use your points in the grocery store - unlike the place out of Seattle.)“

“I love Scooter’s—especially the morning crew! They’re always so nice and cheerful, and honestly, they just start my day off on the right foot. You can really tell they enjoy what they do, and it makes a big difference.

I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the ooey gooey cinnamon roll—it’s dangerously good; soft, warm, and perfectly sweet. And don’t even get me started on the Red Bull infusions—so many fun flavors, and they’re the perfect pick-me-up when I need a boost without going the coffee route.

Whether I’m grabbing a quick breakfast or just need a little caffeine fix, Scooter’s never disappoints!“

“Went lunch here, for the first time, with a friend and we both loved the food, friendly staff, and the atmosphere 🩷 We split the amazing chickpea smash and chicken salad sandwiches. We also shared the scrumptious PB Oreo torte. The ice tea is homebrewd and made to order. What a lovely gem!! We'll both be back 😁“

“Fabulous customer service and delicious bagels and out of this world cream cheese! Will be back for sure!“

“I love starbucks and have been to many across many different states and the one here across from walmart is one of the best. Super friendly and kind staff. Super quick service ! Our barista today was Robert and he was very pleasant, kind and nice to my children ! Would definitely recommend coming to this one if you are in the area !“

“Love this place!!! Great staff! Great atmosphere! Great food and drinks🍩❤️“

“A hidden gem coffee roaster in Appleton and well worth the stop just to meet the owner, Dan. Very friendly when he isn’t busy as a bee with local orders for the fox valley. No longer a cafe but if you see his van from 41, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Really tasty beach bum smoothie which my 11 year old son loves and I just tried their caramelized banana cold brew which is a coffee and banana lover’s dream ! Their prices are a bit high but I understand it’s due to their organic healthier options.“

“Really tasty lavender honey latte. Food was ok. I had the smoked salmon w eggs and potatoes. Mom had avocado toast. Good place to stop in and not worry about leftovers. Lattes are always a pain to carry; maybe get to-go cup if differently-abled or if you shake or have balance issues bc those cups are wide and easy to spill. Good place for quiet conversations w views of water. Lots of nice plants. Bathroom was clean.

Vegetarian options: Not a giant menu but veggie options. Also, there are tasty vegan cookies in the case“

“The gentleman working on 2/15 around 2pm was amazing! He recommended a drink that was phenomenal (white chocolate caramel cookie) and even gave me a small sample of the drink! He was super friendly and I would absolutely recommend this store to anyone!“

“Biff was the best drive thru barista I have ever heard! Coffee puns, cheerful disposition. Made my morning!“

“I heard a friend mention a tea company in Appleton. I told my mom about it and so we stopped in for a visit. I never realized how many amazing teas exist including Root Beer?! We became tea fiends and picked up so many new varieties! The place was cozy with amazingly accommodating and polite staff.

We will be back for another hull sometime soon! Until then it’s my little duck diffusers first time getting to work on brewing! Thanks again and keep up the good work Fava Fam!“

“Great place, great latte, but shouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes for it to be made with only 2 orders in front of you.“

“Love that this is located inside meijers where I can grab a coffee and do my shopping at once! It's not busy since there's no drive thru! Super fun and friendly staff and they're always so nice to my daughter when she attempts to make her own order.“
