Lawlss Coffee - Appleton

I absolutely LOVED this shop. The atmosphere was perfect, the Barista's were so friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks we got were fantastic! Their tea selection is unique and exciting, something that is hard to find. I don't drink coffee, but the others in my group who bought coffee loved what they got as well. I will definitely be back!

This place is amazing. Excellent service. They clearly care about the quality of their product. Cannot recommend this place enough.

As a member of this community, it's disappointing to see a local business like Lawlss refusing to pay their electrical contractor for completed work. Small businesses and service providers are the backbone of our community, and when one refuses to uphold their end of a professional agreement, it reflects poorly on all of us.

It’s not just about an unpaid invoice—it’s about fairness, respect, and supporting those who keep our local economy running. Ignoring payments for essential services is not only unethical, it’s damaging to the trust we try to build among businesses and residents alike.

I truly hope Lawlss does the right thing and settles their outstanding debt. Until then, I’d encourage others to consider this behavior before choosing to support them.

Terrible ownership. Doesn't pay hit staff and is constantly out of menu items

Went on a really bad date here, but I'd come back! Great coffee, staff and atmosphere.

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

Their house drinks are incredibly delicious, especially the pistachio latte! Great place to catch up and have a delicious cup of coffee!

One of the best lattes I’ve had. Extremely smooth espresso and very well balanced flavors.

Nice place and decent coffee

My fiancé and I come up to Appleton for a stay-cation once a year. Lawlss is our favorite stop. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Super personable staff. And most of all amazing coffee and muffins. Our favorite café in Appleton.

Edit: increasing from 2 to 4 stars based on the owner's response. The offer of a refund/gift card is appreciated but not necessary as I was visiting from out of town. I appreciate their ownership of the issue.

I had a really strange experience this morning. Ordered a hot latte, and the cashier (who was also the one making drinks) said he “wasn’t a barista” and would really appreciate if we ordered iced drinks because he “didn’t know how to steam milk”. Ordered iced instead and a biscuit sandwich from the menu. Asked if we could have it on a bagel instead because they don’t have biscuits. Skipped that in favor of a morning bun. He asked if we were planning to stick around because we needed to take it to go since he was “about to close it up”… at 8am. Drinks were taking awhile until a new barista came in. Some sort of disagreement ensued and the original cashier left the building. The new barista asked us what we’d ordered and said there were no names on the drinks so he wasn’t sure who was going to get what. When we did get our drinks, they were good, but I think we got smalls when we ordered mediums. Based on the other reviews, I think we caught an off morning, but some fixes need to be made before I’d come back.

If you’re looking for a relaxed cozy corner to enjoy lunch or just a cup of Java, this could be your new hangout. Conveniently located downtown Appleton plenty of parking on any of the side streets and a quick short walk from almost anywhere downtown and worth it. I really enjoyed my flat white coffee treats, and customer service today at Lawless Coffee. Thanks to the staff. Everything was great. Super atmosphere With high ceilings, beautiful brick walls, Florida ceiling windows, natural light, calm, feeling grade vibes, and people. Can’t wait to go back for more. Namaste.

I love stopping at their Neenah location for a hot or iced Oat Milk Chai Latte. Add a little lavender.. you won't be disappointed! Friendly workers, too.

The coffee is phenomenal. Stephen, the owner, takes coffee making from a craft into a passion. I have not had a single bad cup of coffee. And the pastries are a fantastic addition! Overall, a wonderful establishment with passionate batistas who know their coffee.
