Crema's Take

Nestled in historic downtown Oshkosh, this charming spot pairs excellent specialty coffee with an impressive array of handcrafted cookies and pastries that locals genuinely rave about—it's become a destination for both coffee enthusiasts and sweet-tooth seekers. Beyond the cafe itself, you'll find a bookstore and gift shop attached, making it the kind of place where you can easily lose an hour browsing while sipping your drink, whether you're grabbing a quick coffee to go or settling in for a leisurely visit. The staff consistently earns praise for their warmth and helpfulness, creating the kind of welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back whenever they're in the area.

I don't often come to downtown Oshkosh - but the Caramel Crisp & Cafe is one of the highlights of the historic downtown. Attatched to the cute coffee shop is a bookstore and gift shop, which sells homemade gifts and books by many local authors. Sometimes you find a popular story in there as well. There is limited seating for the cafe and the space is enclosed, however everything is neat and organized, making it easy to move around. The food is good, the drinks are delicious, and the staff is friendly. A perfectly wonderful small business!

The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Their hot food choices are limited and okay, but their cookie and sweet choices are vast and delicious. They are known for their cookies and they live up to that title. There is a room to sit and enjoy your coffee, cookie, and lunch, but seating is limited to maybe 8 spots. The building is not only a place to get food but also a place to buy toys, books, decorations, and novelty items. I would reccomend giving this place a visit, especially if your sweet tooth is calling you. 🍪

Just go home with my to go order. Cookies were not in the bag and sandwich had top and bottom of the tomato for the sliced tomato on my Turkey sandwich. Sandwich was good except the tomato. Nobody wants that on their sandwich.

Had a great first visit at Caramel Crisp and would definitely go again next time we visit. The cookies were soft and delicious, with lots of different options, and the tea and coffes we got were good as well. There are other non-cookie/caffeine sections of the store too, with tons of books, toys, wine and cheese gadgets, and decorations. Highly recommend, adults with or without kids.

Today I stopped by Caramel Crisp & Cafe after lunch. They are located at 200 City Center D, in Oshkosh, WI This is a wonderful store that not only has cookies, pies, coffee and popcorn but gifts, books, souvenirs. I was very impressed on how nice it looks and how friendly the staff is. I ordered a cup of coconut chocolate ice cream and a half dozen of the chocolate chip cookies..They advertise to be the best, if they are not the best they are close.
