The Good:
This place has an absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Very rustic and comfortable. They even keep a cozy fire going. It is a great environment to chill out and study, or just hang out with friends. The food is delicious. I had one of their breakfast sandwiches and it was quite good.
The Bad:
The shop really markets itself on gourmet coffee, but I genuinely do not taste the difference. On top of that, the prices are not competitive. I paid fifteen dollars total for a single sandwich and one seasonal coffee. That felt like a bit much, especially when there are cheaper options elsewhere, which leads me to…
The Ugly:
You get a single refill on a regular drip coffee only. They will not allow a drip refill if you purchased one of their seasonal coffees, even though those cost roughly more than double. That is pretty unusual nowadays when most cafes allow unlimited drip refills with the purchase of any drink. It made the experience feel not worth the money. You are paying close to twenty dollars for a sandwich and coffee and still cannot get a refill.
There was also a slight smugness from the lady when I asked. When I mentioned what competitors do, she waved it off, saying they were “gourmet” and could not support that model. She refused any refill and said I could “buy a regular coffee” if I wanted one. I politely declined. Failing “the customer is always right” test, I grabbed a free cup of water and decided the place was not as stellar as I first thought.
Final Thoughts:
I will likely return because the atmosphere really is great. But I would only ever recommend buying their regular drip coffee. Nothing fancy. It is about three dollars and comes with a refill, which averages out to roughly $1.50 per cup. Not bad.

Needs more tables eggs are microwaved for breakfast sandwiches they forgot are coffee order and after we order they had a big group come in before you take another persons order you need to finish the one before so nothing get forgotten they dont offer a large for coffee mugs for here. They need more workers especially if some are in the back doing dishes.

Nice atmosphere and great drinks. Service was excellent, even though all the hostess told us that they were short-staffed. We only had to wait a few minutes for our drinks. Decided to try the Peppermint Patty Mocha, Man’s Best Friend iced chai, hazelnuts and gingerbread) and a caramel macchiato. All were delicious. Would come back!

Stopped at this little coffee shop while on vac and I’m so glad we did! Weve traveled across the country and Great Northern Coffee Traders in Minocqua has probably some of the best coffee and bagel sandwiches we’ve had in a long time!

This is by FAR my favorite coffee shop in the Northwoods! The coffee is delicious, the staff is amazing and their prices are great. The shop has a cabin vibe with rustic wood floors, nice music playing and local artwork for sale. It is a great place to meet with friends or work from a laptop (yes there is wifi!) My only complaint is that they’re not open everyday! 😉 Definitely come check it out if you’re in town!

We’ve been customers of Great Northern since their beginning. We were happy to come back again 2 days in a row after moving from the area. It’s great to see Joy still going strong with their business. The staff was friendly. Drinks were great. We really appreciated how accommodating they were with gluten and dairy allergies. Thank you! We wish you many more years of success in your business.

This used to be my favorite place in Minocqua for coffee, but with the new owners it is just not the same. With a new menu (more limited than previously), what I assume are new drink recipes (as it does not taste the same as before), and entire staff rebrand, it was a truly unpleasant return home from college. I would prefer an entire rebrand than this pathetic attempt of what Great Northern used to be.

The staff understands hospitality! Everyone is created with a big smile. They include little cubs of grapes and holy wow, the egg sandwiches are so yummy! A must stop when in Minocqua!
