Caramel Crisp & Cafe
200 City Center D, Appleton, WI
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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
