I stayed very caffeinated last weekend while exploring nine local shops located in Downtown Green Bay. My husband, family, and I attended the Cafe Crawl together for the second year, so I think it qualifies as a tradition now!

The Cafe Crawl is one of my favorite annual events in the area. It combines my love for coffee and my love for the amazing local spots we have in Green Bay.

Here’s a look at where we explored on the crawl:

Glas Coffeehouse

Glas served up a special Draft Day brew and chocolate chip energy bites. They provided the perfect cozy setting to enjoy our treats and watch the trolly zoom from stop to stop outside the window.

Captain’s Walk Winery

This winery is a favorite spot of mine. The vibes, the aesthetic, and the wine are all incredible. Instead of serving simply coffee, Captain’s Walk served Coffee Bean Buzz cocktails (coffee with Kahlua, Tequila, and whipped cream).

Grounded Cafe

Here we sampled a hot cup of chaider (chai & apple cider), and a gluten-free peanut butter cookie. Look at the photo below and you’ll see that the cookie was so good my husband couldn’t let the phone eat first.

If you’ve been a reader, you may remember that I mentioned Grounded Cafe on the blog before. Grounded served as a stop on the 2023 Cafe Crawl, too! You can check out my 2023 Cafe Crawl journey for even more coffee shop recommendations. But, first, let’s visit the rest of the 2025 stops – read on!

Hotel Northland

This stop had my favorite treat: a cinnamon roll! Hotel Northland is a gorgeous place to stay or simply grab a drink or a meal. My husband and I enjoyed a mini staycation at Hotel Northland a couple of years back. It has a very elegant and historic charm while offering luxurious modern amenities.

Lion’s Mouth Bookstore

Book lovers, this is the place for you! Lion’s Mouth served freshly brewed coffee and tea. I hadn’t been in the shop since they unveiled their in-store coffee bar, so it was exciting to see the cafe in action! I’ll have to return for a sip and a read.

Loco Wisco

You can always depend on Loco Wisco for a beautiful assortment of local goods. Here, we sampled Door County Coffee and espresso cheese. I have to say, espresso and cheese seemed like an unusual pairing, but it totally worked!

Daily Buzz

I enjoyed a Honey Bee Refresher sample at Daily Buzz. This coffee shop is high on my list of downtown favorites. In the same location, at night, the space comes to life as The Nightly Buzz. It’s on my list of places to check out!

The Attic

Here is yet another place perfect for book lovers! The Attic has shelves of books to explore and find your next read as well as everything you’d expect from your typical coffee shop. They brewed a few tea options to try.

The Kompound

This is a fairly new coffee shop in the area, but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. The Kompound has a unique style and a delicious line-up of lattes. During the crawl, I tried the Peanut Butter Latte – it was perfectly sweet and the tastiest way to wrap up our caffeinated adventure.

What’s your favorite local coffee shop? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments or on Instagram. Let’s chat!
