This was a "must stop" recommendation by a friend. We gave it a shot and truly, didn't find it to be anything remarkable. The space is nice but the staff was not very warm or welcoming. They almost seemed ambivalent towards us being there. My drip coffee was fine, my son appreciated the gluten free muffin that was available. Otherwise, nothing truly noteworthy. read more

My favorite coffee shop in all of Door County. It used to be an old bank, so the interior is so cool with even an old bank vault room from the original building. Staff is so friendly and welcoming, anyone is welcome and safe at Lawlss. If I need a spot to work remotely, they have plenty of space and the vibe is great for hanging out and working a half day. Their seasonal drinks are wonderful. read more

Lawlss Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Some of the best coffee I've had in a long time! I will be coming back here. It's a great place to sit and work or read, and it's located right downtown in Sturgeon Bay. They make their syrups, and they also have fresh scones. Tip: If you pay with cash, you receive a small discount. Cheaper and far better than Starbucks! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The syrups are homemade, I tried the orange blossom and wow. Delicious. It was just what I needed. So unique and flavorful. The person working was super helpful and kind. The interior had a nice little back seating area. The only negative thing I have to say is that the scone was not very good. I wish I lived closer as I would be here all the time!! read more

We stopped for coffee and tea on our way out of town. The almond croissant was out of this world. If I lived in town, I would always come here. So good!!! read more

We stopped in here to get our daily caffeine fix while visiting Sturgeon Bay and I have to say this is probably some of the best specialty coffee beverages I have had in a long time, it is a shame they are not local to me. We tried the Smoked Mocha (iced), Carmello (iced), and the Apple Cider Latte (hot). All of the drinks were amazing - everything was homemade that went into it and you could tell. The coffee was fresh and delicious and the homemade syrups really elevated the drink - this reminded me of a swanky bar more than a small town coffee shop. Awesome stuff. The bakery items also looked super yummy - the scones were amazing! They are in an old bank so it is a neat little walk around the building. Great spot to stop for coffee, skip the chain and come here instead. read more

Visited on a weekday afternoon, about an hour before close. There were quite a few other parties studying or chatting with their company. The space is historic with a modern flare. Our barista was friendly and timely in making our drinks. I had the Bergamot Matcha, which was good. Love that the drink is made with oat milk to begin with! The lavender-bergamot syrup was very subtle. My partner had the Carmello - she enjoyed it. Their menu has a great selection - from the basics (cappuccinos, lattes, etc) to more crafted wonders - everyone should be able to find something they might enjoy. Love having options when we visit my partner's family! Will definitely be back to to try their other offerings! read more

In Sturgeon Bay and some friends told me about Lawless. It's a boutique shop attached to an art gallery that has some incredible work and a hardworking owner. They have an incredible selection of beans from some of the finest artisan roasters. We had an Onyx Costa Rican and a couple of iced coffees for the road. The staff is super helpful and can walk you through whatever your coffee or tea palette craze and the space is really relaxing. Only if it were in MN- I'll be back read more

Such a great space with a variety of options for unique beverages. One of our favorite places to go!

Quick friendly service! Small assortment of Pastries. The shop is in an old bank which gives it a historic yet modern vibe. Quiet place but could be loud if very busy. 2 Large signature drinks and a muffin will cost you just under $20 with tip. read more

Interior esthetic/decor = 5 stars. Stunning tray ceilings!! Love the design elements in here. Iced chai tea latte= 4 stars. Overpowering chai flavor which resulted in an artificial taste. Classic coffee shop with upscale vibes. Would love to come back and try something else! read more

Place looks cool but the cold coffee options are not good - we tried two and tossed both out. The scone tasted like a dry muffin and was just not good. Would not come back. read more

Delightful stop along our way home from Door County. We had the specialty lattes - pistachio and Carmelo. Both were delicious along with the drip coffee and scone. We walked down to the nearby waterfront park. A perfect day on the bay. Very nice employees too. read more

I stumbled across this place while on vacation. I can't say enough about the quality of staff, coffee, and bakery. My husband gives me a hard time all of the time, because I am super high maintenance about my coffee. We also need to be high maintenance about our baked goods, because we have one child who is egg free and one child who is dairy free, and this place excelled at all of the above. We come from a community that has extensive vegan bakeries, and these baked goods were amazing! You would never know. Please visit them!!!!!!! PS I think they have cocktails too! read more

Lawlss Coffee - Vanilla bean latte with oat milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Some of the greatest coffee I have ever had. Amazing product. I wish they were located in Chicago.

The coffee is ok here however, this is coffee for people who really don't like coffee and like flavorful sweet drinks. I had the chai. This chai is extra spicy which made it great for me! I wish it would have been about half as sweet and it would have been a home run. The other drink we had was a tootsie roll which tastes like a grown up hot chocolate so if you love chocolate this is your jam! I'm giving it 3 stars because this was a one hit wonder for us. read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked in, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Our order consisted of 3 coffees & 3 scones. It was a different tasting coffee than i'm used to but still very good. Watching it being made was very interesting. SUCH a beautiful building though & i love the gallery as well. read more

Lawless is a great addition to Door County and brings something unique to downtown Sturgeon Bay. I absolutely love the interior . Great coffee and staff. A great selection of teas. read more

It's a great local coffee shop. It has a great atmosphere with delicious coffee. I wish we lived closer so I could go there everyday. I highly recommend going for yourself and experience a wonderful cup of coffee. read more

Best place in town by FAR. They even make their own syrups! I love sitting in the vault with my girls and enjoying their delicious coffee.

Such a cute location. Amazing menu with very creative drinks! Lovely staff as well. Got a pistachio latte from the holiday menu and regular cappuccino. Both drinks were delicious! Highly recommend read more

As a person that frequents coffee shops throughout the county I have to say Lawless is up there in terms of quality, care for product and barista experience. I spent some time chatting with the baristas and they all knew their product in and out. One of the barista's even specially roasted a coasta rican bean for me prior to my departure. Another one of those steps above and beyond. This is, hands down, the best coffee shop in the door county area. They recently began roasting and have the chops of a shop who has been doing it for 15 years. I'd liken them to an Onyx or a Victrola in terms of quality yet they haven't lost their small shop feel. Bear in mind, this is not a starbucks copycat. If you're looking for a 30 ounce sugary drink this is not your place. But if you are excited about quality product and highly knowledgeable staff you can't go wrong here. read more

Had dessert and tea drinks and an americano and it's was all not only tasty good but beautifully presented as well. Loving the vibe and everything about this place. Friendly staff that truly wants to make everyone's experience exceptional. Will be my go to stop every time I come up this way. read more

Lawless was amazing! Their menu had great staples and plenty of seasonal items. We went twice and the 4 of us tried something different each time. Everything was delicious, you can tell much thought was put into each beverage. All of the syrups are house made and added a unique element. We enjoyed the Carmelo, Dark Matter and Vanilla bean latte. A must stop in DT sturgeon bay. read more

Beautiful space, interesting and thoughtful drinks, good vibes all around! Glad Sturgeon Bay has a legit coffee spot for our visits! We had the Dark Matter and it was incredible. read more

The Lawless Coffee shop is a special place and a true hidden gem. They feature espresso from Onyx and drop coffee from a local roaster in Door County's Ephraim. In addition to some top-notch coffees they really have their service dialed in! A shop like this could be found in a much larger urban city, such as Chicago or LA. But, instead, they're rocking the Sturgeon Bay scene. And they know their stuff: Slayer single group espresso machine, cold brew dripper from Yama, Kruve glassware, and the list could go on. I had a straight shot of 'spro that was bright and full of body. I also tried their cold brew and it was very well balanced. Atmospherically the shop is very, very tastefully done. I'm sure that, sans pandemic, it would be very inviting to stay and sit for awhile. read more

Excellent selection of beverages in an outstanding setting - an old bank complete with 15' tin ceilings. To compliment the delicious drinks are a beautiful array of art work and jewelry made by the proprietors, Mike and Laura Caplan. Highly recommend you experience this place. read more

We ordered the bergamot iced matcha and a cappuccino on the patio. Both drinks were perfect, the patio was lovely and the prices were reasonable. It's too bad about COVID because I would have loved to spend some time inside, which was gorgeous as well. read more

Need a sweet treat? I've had wonderful treats with my coffee. Including home made gingerbread! The former bank is a delight to see and to experience. And the conversations with other coffee lovers have been memorable. Be sure to look up at the beautiful pressed tin ceiling. My great great uncle Hermann Krueger in Green Bay may have manufactured the ceiling at his factory called Fox River or Green Bay Corniceworks. Way back in the earlier 1900s. read more

I hate giving poor reviews. This one pushed me to do so.m unfortunately. I was so excited to check Lawless out based on it's awesome reviews and unique coffee selection. If we had coffee only, I would give 5 stars. Unfortunately the food we had brought it down a few ratings. The chocolate croissants were bland, more doughy than flaky and crunchy like a traditional croissant. The monkey bread looked super delicious, but unfortunately lacked favor and was very dry. On the plus side, the Carmello coffee was good. read more

So glad that I stumbled on this new place while traveling through Sturgeon Bay! Beautifully roasted and expertly-extracted coffee created by well-trained, friendly baristas. I roast my own coffee and am usually disappointed by coffee shops when I am on the road. This place is a rare exception. Great coffee in a cool building with a small art gallery attached. Thank you, Lawless! read more
