By this time, everyone has probably figured out how much I love coffee. Rarely does a day go by that I do not have a cup of coffee. It has become one of my favorite things to go out for a cut of coffee and chat with friends and family. Surprisingly enough, my younger brother is one of the best coffee dates. Due to all of these coffee outings I have been to almost every coffee shop in the Fox Valley of Wisconsin* so I'll share my favorites.
(Timshel Cafe)
I went Timshel for the first time this summer and loved it! It is such a "hip" environment with an amazing setting in downtown Neenah. I love sitting inside, in a windowed area that is perfect for watching the street. The homemade chai here is to die for. You get a choice of sweet or spicy (I picked the spicy), and it was probably one of the best chai's I have ever had.
Copper is one of the classic ones to go to. The coffee is always good, and there are tons of different options for specialty drinks as well as delicious meals. I used to go here twice a month, but after two years it did get a little old so I frequent it less often. That being said, as my time is counting down for being in town, Copper Rock is what is reminding me of home more than anything else.
(Seth's Coffee)
Seth's is a little bit out of my way so I do not go there that often, but it is always enjoyable when I do. The coffee is excellent there along with the baked goods. My sister loves to go for the milkshakes because she claims that they are some of the best around. She is always asking to go back for them.
I would say Acoca has the best coffee. It seems they specialize in coffee to the point where you could ask them for any type of coffee (roast, flavor, location) and they would have it. I might be wrong, but that it is the vibe it gives off. I have never been disappointed here. My mom and I are waiting for nice summer day because all we want is to try out their espresso milkshakes.
(All Seasons Coffeehouse)
This is such a cute little place. The owner is so sweet and always checks up on how you are doing. I have been meaning to go there for lunch because the menu looks so good, and if it is anything like the scones I always have, I know I won't be disappointed. I also really love the specialty coffees since they seem to fit in perfectly with the seasons.
There is such a different vibe here than at many of the other places. A lot of older people seem to come here which makes for a fun change. I have heard some of the craziest stories from eavesdropping on conversions (oops). I have never been disappointed with anything that I have had here. Don't let the idea of the baked goods being vegan scare you, they are some of my favorite around.
(Tempest Coffee Collective)
Tempest is probably one of the most popular places around. The combination of being on the water, the pleasing aesthetics, and fantastic food is killer. I've never missed an opportunity to take a picture there. I have been there for breakfast once and it was so good. Any place that serves waffles is bound to be one of my favorites.
Have you been to any of these places?

*To give a better idea on location, the Fox Valley is in Northeast Wisconsin and consists of Appleton, Neenah, Menasha and Kaukauna. This about a half hour away from Green Bay, and around 2 hours directly north of Milwaukee.
