    Nice little coffee shop located in downtown Manitowoc. Has all the drinks you would expect to see in a Barista operation like this at a reasonable price. Good saftey protocols being followed relative to Covid with good separation between the tables. Overall a great choice to enjoy your morning Java in a safe environment. Two thumbs up.

    Pleasant coffee shop with good coffees and lots of natural light in an expansive space. Bakery goods are quite tasty. Ideal location for sipping in solitude, enjoying a coffee with friends, are sipping while getting some work done. Also an enjoyable place for meetings. Moderate prices, but they do charge a credit card swipe fee (including on Apple Pay).

    This local coffee shop has fresh baked pastries, muffins and cookies. There is a wide variety of teas and coffee beans. Jenn's had delicious cakes for all occasions. This is a perfect place to have a latte while playing a board game with friends, reading a book in a cozy corner or meet with a client. After your coffee and snack you can walk over to the little gift shop area stocked with handmade items; you're bound to find some unique item for you or someone special.

    Groovy cafe/bakery/restaurant/gift shop near downtown Manitowoc. Best parts, IMHO, are the coffee and the pastries which Jen herself makes on site. Lots of seating, mellow music, free wifi... I'm a regular.

    Large Latte, Small Hot Chocolate

    We went on a Wednesday morning on our way out of the area. It wasn't busy at all; there were a few people seated already and enjoying their drinks, but there was no line. I ordered a large plain latte, and my friend got a small hot chocolate (both to-go). Both were really good, although they were definitely steamed on the hotter side. The girl that took our order was friendly, but she was a bit soft spoken. We struggled to hear her, but I understand that could be for a number of reasons. My only real issue is that there didn't seem to be a menu posted anywhere. We understood that they would have any "typical" coffee shop drink, so ordering wasn't too much of an issue for us, despite this. The building itself was really cute. They have lots of things for sale, such as baked goods and T-shirts. If I ever find myself in Manitowoc again I'd definitely stop in again and stay for a while!

    Peeps coffee. Yummy and fun

    We went here two times. Our daughter enjoyed the smoothies while we liked having the baristas concoct a special drink for us. The shop is very cute and comfortable. Everyone is kind. We liked relaxing there.

    It can be more of a friendly environment with staff. Prices are a little above average.

The old fashioned ice cream counter would be fun to enjoy during warmer months, it was somewhat cold outside, so we settled on a few to-go treats instead. We purchased a couple different items including some chocolates, caramels and the sleeper pick of all the items - homemade hot cocoa mix. The mix is basically leftover chocolate shavings and makes for a delicious cup of hot chocolate. They also offer a ton of molded chocolates. Dinosaurs, flowers, race cars, animals, shapes, holiday items, etc. A variety of prices and sizes and in different chocolate types. The chocolate used in the shapes is a creamy, high quality one. Fun pit stop before heading home for the day.

Try the butter pecan, or the moose tracks. Go for strawberry or vanilla. Mint chocolate person? Right there with you. You literally cannot go wrong here. If you want a reasonable serving, get the kids cup. A single is actually a double and they just get bigger from there: and yes, they can do multiple flavors in a single gel if you can't decide. And they'll give tastes to help you narrow it down. Sundaes are amazing but most people just get the ice cream because it's that good. If you're from out of town, prepare to be very pleased at the pieces. If you live there, ya, it's gone up, and so? There are a few tables if you want to sit inside, a few more tables outside. And of course there's Bernice. Take a picture with Bernice. You'll be glad you went.

Prices are very reasonable, at the time that we went it was $4.50 for two large scoops of ice cream. A special Sunday would run you 5 to 6 bucks, which is very comparable to like a Dairy Queen. I had Scotcheroo, a butterscotch ice cream base with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered crispies, a flavor I haven't been able to find at the grocery store before. It was so good, if I find out the store I'm buying two tubs!

They also offer large family size side dishes such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes (real not instant) and huge portions of cheese curds, onion rings, fries etc. They also offer fresh veggies and salad as a side dish. Their staff is 100% friendly. Never ever a bad experience. Best "fast food" restaurant EVER! Nice indoor dining too. I have zero info on the smash burgers, sorry. Tried everything else though.

I am not sure if it was a long day, but looking back she seemed a bit short. This was double downed when we received our order. Which was completed in a timely manner. I looked at the scope of ice cream expecting something a little different. Rather than her asking or showing any concern, it was - "I said it was a Sunday." I'm not one to ever argue with the one that makes my food so I smiled and grabbed it. Also, a note about tipping culture. If you expect/ want a tip, than give singles back so the person is more inclined to tip. If you just give a five or a ten back, don't expect them to tip more then what they paid for. The icecream with cherry was very good. Unfortunately, I don't see us coming back to this establishment. Seems a little pricy for what we got. Plus the service was a side of sour.
