Ixonia
Oconomowoc
Delafield
Hartland
Wales
Pewaukee
Ixonia
This is a great stop off interstate I-94
So this is a gas station, coffee shop, and a petting zoo. You get off the 94 exit, gas up as we say here in Wisconsin, get your coffee and pet food at the register, then head out to the petting zoo. Feed the chickens, peacocks, llamas, donkeys, pigs,...
Concord General Store
Oconomowoc
Oconomowoc has some great coffee downtown and if you can stroll by the lake, it’s a nice walk
This coffee shop is right next to where I do reiki. Just go out the front entrance, take a right and go in the blue door for One Light Wellness Center. Get your coffee and reiki!!
Food - Roots Coffee Bar
I go here all the time. It’s busy but great hang out. I usually order the elderberry healer tea
Stone Creek Coffee Oconomowoc
This location has a drive thru so that’s nice if you’re on the road.
Starbucks
Who can go wrong with sugar and caffeine? Welcome to America where both are abundant
Whelan’s Coffee & Ice Cream
This is a great stop by the police station. It’s a little cliquey— there’s a group that meets here all the time.
Java Hut of Oconomowoc
Delafield
Delafield is the middle of Lake Country. There’s easy access to the lakes and the interstate going to Milwaukee or Madison.
This is a nice place to bring your laptop and do work. I usually order the green tea.
Blue Collar Coffee Co.
This is one of my favorite hang outs. It gets busy but I like the booths in the back.
Stone Creek Coffee - Delafield
Hartland
Hartland is a cute little place to raise your kids, if you can afford it. There’s lakes, great parks and schools. It’s a bit boring and low crime, which is again a great place to raise your kids.
Here’s an old favorite of mine! I take my daughter to school, go to Birch and Banyan, order a plain latte, go upstairs with my laptop and work from the coffee shop. This place has so many nice people and the owner is very nice. She treats her employe...

Inclusion Coffee Company
Great place in North Lake. This is definitely a place to get out of town and get some work done on your laptop. Try the hazelnut mocha
Mill Street Cafe
Wales
Wales is South of Delafield from interstate 94. It is known for the glacial drumlin bike trail and Legends of Brandybrook golf course. Take 83 and find yourself a scenic drive, there’s a few of them. Don’t go too fast because there are a lot of deer.
This is a popular coffee shop right next to the bike trail. I usually get a latte with their homemade quiche
Mama D's Coffee - Wales
This is definitely a quiet place to get something done on your laptop. There’s not a lot of traffic here.

This is a great summer time coffee shop to grab some Jo and take a walk along the lake.

The Gingerbread House
Milwaukee
For the most part, I’m partial to Milwaukee’s lakefront, UW Milwaukee (my Alma mater)/shorewood, West Milwaukee/wauwatosa, and south Milwaukee. I rarely go downtown but if I do it’s usually the third ward area.
Go pet the kitties at sip n purr kitty cafe!

In 2020, during Covid, I found little ways to venture out and take day trips to parks and beaches in Wisconsin. I found this place one time and I keep going back!

Wauwatosa is a great place to live and the coffee shops are great in this area.
This is one of my favorite spots in the Milwaukee area to bring my laptop. What is interesting about this place is that I always see a local celebrity here…I’ve seen newscasters, a few YouTube stars, and an NBA player here….
Colectivo Coffee 68th St.
Janesville
I worked in this area at one time and found these shops. I still go back to this area on day trips.
