Inside, a wrap-around lunch counter takes up a good portion of the small restaurant, and tables fill in the space that’s left.

Regulars greet each other by name or scan a newspaper spread out on the counter while sipping coffee.  You can tell by the crowd that fills the diner that the food must be good.  You won’t be disappointed.  The menu runs from the simple two eggs and toasted homemade bread for three bucks, to the fancy, like Smoked Salmon Benedict for only $7.99.  At lunch The Coffee Pot offers sandwiches such as Jamaican Jerk Chicken Breast or the Wonderfully Wisconsin, a grilled cheese sandwich with three cheeses:  Swiss, cheddar, and pepperjack.

Regulars and newcomers alike enjoy the warm welcome by staff at The Coffee Pot—and delicious, reasonably-priced food.
