Commodore Cafe
233 E College Ave, Appleton, WI
Crema's Take
“Commodore Cafe brings a genuinely welcoming energy to Appleton with espresso-focused drinks that hit the mark, from perfectly pulled cortados to creamy cappuccinos made with quality Metric coffee. Beyond the solid coffee craft, they're creating a real community space with thoughtful touches like their butter board featuring homemade butter and local sourdough, making it equally suited for lingering solo or gathering with friends. The laid-back-but-bustling vibe and friendly staff make this feel like the kind of neighborhood spot worth returning to, especially if you appreciate both precision espresso work and a space that feels genuinely chill rather than precious.”

This is the best café to be in this space since Harmony. Cortado and double espresso were both perfect. The butter board with homemade butter and local sourdough is an incredibly fun shareable for a crowd.
Went here a few weekends ago for the first time. The coffee was great. But, I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk. 2 of them and got both made with regular milk. I drank one when I got to my car and realized the milk was wrong. I went back in to have them make me another. They were very kind about making it correctly and the barista was vwry nice about it. A bit pricey but worth it for a splurge. I wish they had baked goods. I didnt see any when I was in there.
Found this place on our way out of town. They've only been open for about a month, but they seem to have pretty solid café practices. The coffee is really good, they have caffeine-free drinks for those of us who try not to overdo it, the staff is welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxing. If I lived here I'd probably come here for work/homework all the time. There's tons of seating upstairs which makes it a great place to meet people. The loft overlooking the bar is so cute. The dark hues upstairs are great for focusing, and the bright, clean look downstairs is perfect for those of us who need to wake up.
Cappuccino was delish. Metric coffee used here is a plus! Bakery selection was MIA this morning… maybe it’s too early to tell. Cafe vibes here are definitely chill with the bustling cafe ambiance in the background. Plenty of seating upstairs.
