Great River Cafe

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.
