Cafe in summer

What's Brewing?
Visit us in Pepin at our retail location. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in historic Pepin, Wisconsin, Great River Café offers fresh roasted coffee, espresso drinks, and an assortment of pastries, breakfast specials and daily lunches.

Our patio is open spring, summer and fall. It's great for relaxing with a gourmet breakfast or lunch, viewing the expanding perennial gardens, and catching some sun.

History of Pepin

"Lake Pepin ought to be visited by every poet and painter in the land."
--William Cullen Bryant

Pepin is known as the storybook village set on the Mississippi River.

In addition to Lake Pepin's scenic beauty, the village of Pepin is also known as the birthplace of author Laura Ingalls Wilder. It's here that her family started their historic travels and Pepin is the setting of her first book, "Little House in the Big Woods."

We are always available to give roastery tours (just call ahead) or to show you what we've learned from ten years of running a retail coffee shop. Great River Café is our experimental laboratory and we're always trying out new ideas!

Stop in today and see why we say
"there's no good reason to drink a bad cup of coffee."
