To drink, I ordered an iced vanilla latte (a classic). It was really good, just what I was looking for. Nothing crazy, just a solid latte. I also ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie, which was soooo good (and absolutely huge). I devoured it easily. The inside is cozy and has lots of natural lighting. I think my main complaint is their music choice, which was instrumental kinda hospital lobby vibe music. This is definitely a personal preference but I like when cafes play soft lowfi, jazz, or indie type music. I wasn't exactly vibing with the lobby vibe, but that's ok. Like I said, personal preference for sure but if I had to make a rec...that would be it.

Seems like a fun and creative menu with seasonal drink options. Refresher was nice, just like you'd expect, but a little on the sweet side for me. I got a second cup of seltzer to "cut" the drink and it was perfect. Front room is cozy with moderate noise and activity from the coffee bar and front entrance. There's a second back room that was cooler, quiet, and with lots of open tables for studying. I came on a weekday afternoon, but there was plenty of open seating even with ~10 customers sitting in. I wish there were more outlets, though!

This is the BEST little coffee shop! It rivals those that might be found in Madison. The coffee is…read moreroasted in house and much of it is organic and of superior quality. I always get cold brew, which has a wonderfully full taste and doesn't have that burnt flavor like the beans offered at inferior coffee spots. I absolutely love that they have coconut milk, which is rather unheard-of in most places. I can get my coffee here just as I would make it at home, which is made with Two Rivers' house-roasted beans of course! I do not however, have iced coffee ice cubes at my house as they do here. Um, AMAZING!! Talk about going the extra mile for their coffee people! Beyond the excellent coffee and accoutrements they have here, the place is tastefully and minimally decorated. It's perfect for bringing a friend to chat with or your laptop to get some work done. The best part: it's located in historic downtown Portage and is family owned and operated. It's owned by the nicest young couple of whom will be your friends in no time! These guys make it! Support this wonderful family and give the historic downtown your business by enjoying an absolutely superb cup of coffee! (Or three if you're anything like me.)

The barista jumped up when we walked in and greeted us warmly The almond joy is sweet, my husband said it's good. The cafe au lait is very weak and desperately needs another shot of espresso.

If you order a coffee for here, you get a free refill, which is nice. The barista said I had to order the 16oz for this perk but the mug is actually ~12oz, so I think that was a mistake. The place is very cute with uplifting messages/art and has plenty of seating for studying or catching up with a friend. Great ambiance.

There was a good selection of hot and cold options, and there were minimal pastries left to choose from (outside of cookies, there was a single cinnamon roll left). I got a cold brew with sugar free vanilla syrup and a splash of milk. Overall the cold brew was so bitter, I had a hard time drinking it. The coffee shop had a cozy aesthetic and they have a great patio for outside seating. I did not try any of the hot coffee/latte options, so my visit maybe an anomaly to the overall options at this shop. If you're looking for a cold brew, there are other, less bitter options in the area.

Despite the frigid temperatures, I braved the cold for a quite good peppermint mocha. The place definitely has a hipster vibe to it, I would not have been surprised if someone yelled "Suit!" at me as I entered or exited! Staff were not the friendliest, and the extra table between the cashier and you made it hard for her to hear me, and she was clearly annoyed at having to ask me to repeat myself and didn't ask me if I wanted a receipt, either. WiFi was solid and there was a fair amount of space to spread out, but definitely didn't give me the warm fuzzies and I would seek out other coffee the next time I am in the area.

I went with a toasted blackened turkey and boars head bacon on a white sub roll with provolone, lettuce, mayo and italian dressing. The delivery was really quick (like.. 20 minutes?), my sandwich was still nice and warm and hot damn did it deliver the flavor. The blackened turkey was amazing, the bacon was a nice salty balance, the bread had a beautiful crust on the top but was spongey and soft inside - all in all, a fantastic sandwich. With so many chains in the area to default to for a sandwich, it's easy to overlook an unassuming deli inside a corner convenience store - but please don't! You'll be so glad you found this place!
