12 Best Coffee Shops in Sturgeon Bay

“Wowowow, just look at the color of my iced latte! Perfectly pulled espresso and friendly barista! We visited every morning we were in town, wished we lived closer so we could come more often! The Dark matter espresso tonic and the hazelnut latte were 10/10!“

“My boyfriend and I stopped in on our way up to Sister Bay. Such a warm, inviting place. I didn’t verify but I’m pretty sure it was the owner who took and made our order. Wish I had gotten her name. She was so friendly and kind. We got there about 20 minutes before closing and knew they were probably trying to clean up and close down, but she was warm and friendly, even telling us we could sit and enjoy our drinks (we didn’t stay, though). Speaking of drinks—I had the S’mores latte (on the right in the picture) on her recommendation—and hands down it is one of the best lattes I’ve ever had…and I drink iced lattes almost daily! The espresso in this drink is top notch. My boyfriend had a London Fog and loved it. Without a doubt we’ll be back next time we’re in Door County (we live in Appleton).“

“There was a review posted a couple days ago making all kinds of accusations about 5&J not being kid-friendly and the manager not being friendly toward children. As a doting grandfather who for the past 5 years regularly brings his 6 year-old grandchild to 5&J, let me assure folks that the manager and staff at 5&J are wonderful with kids. The manager even keeps a special brand of 'sprinkles' on hand for my granddaughter's favorite hot cocoa.

Because of the quality of food, service and atmosphere at 5&J, things can get pretty hectic during rush hour. Throughout it all the staff works hard and is responsive. I've often said to them I really don't know how they do it and that if I were working there I'd be sitting in a corner crying!

Now one thing for parents and grandparents to keep in mind, it is in an older home (1910) with crowded areas and staff are often carrying plates of food and mugs of hot coffee through what can be a very busy setting and kids running about could cause staff or customers to trip and drop hot food on others. As in all public settings, it is the responsibility of caregivers to monitor and -- when needed -- rein in some of that bubbling child energy and mayhem. Ultimately, that is who is responsible.

Don't hesitate to take you kids to 5&J. The hot cocoa, sprinkles and staff are wonderful.“

“Absolutely incredible company this afternoon- every other Saturday this is your place to be!! The best beverage served by the kindest heart!!“

“We discovered Kick Coffee while on vacation the first week in June. Tried a couple other places in town and always came back to Kick. Very quaint, gotta get there fast to get one of the 2 tables available. Popular with locals, appreciated friendliness of regulars who advised us of places to visit while staying the week. Highly recommended. Couldn’t leave without buying a souvenir to take back home to Indiana.“

“really awesome and cool!“

“Unexpectedly in the area for work and I decided to treat myself to a frappuccino. The girls were SO nice and cheerful. Cashier took my order and while I was waiting, the manager offered me some free drinks they had mixed and tried. I bought 1 drink and got 2 FREE! What a great day!“

“I found the answer to my sugar-free vanilla iced coffee latte. Truth be told, McDonald’s was tasting horrible. Starbucks wins!!!“

“Funky and fun atmosphere. Lots of great art to ponder while you eat. The service was top-notch. Our food arrived super quick. It was delicious and nutritious. I really enjoyed the fresh fruit that came with each order. Yummy good watermelon. Extra time was spent on the presentation of the plate. So attractive that I thought I was eating art.“

“We travel to door county every few months and Door County Coffee is always one of my main stops for stocking up on my favorites, and when I can’t make it to town they have a large selection of ground coffees in the local stores closer to home also.“

“The restaurant was clean and welcoming, I ordered a quarter burger with extra tomato but when it arrived I didn't see any tomato,so i said it to the employee and He redid it again,if he reads this review I wanna say thank you for redoing the burger again??“

“I tried the Carmel macchiato for the first time. Very sweet and the espresso leaves a bitterness in my mouth. So, I’m not fond of these but was curious and gave it a try. Back to sugar-free French Vanilla iced coffee! Wishing they’d have a sugar-free hazelnut. And holiday pies.“
