Great place! The staff are all very friendly. They have really good homemade bakery ranging from decorated cookies to slices of cake you can buy while you enjoy your coffee. I love to go here to hangout with friends and play board games. They have a variety of free games you can play while your there, which is always fun. My favorite drink is the Chillers.

Spacious coffee house. Stopped in to get a few drinks to go, and was very happy with my peppermint latte. Service was really good, and only waited for a few minutes.

The open face melted tuna on gluten free bread is so amazing. Also the pumpkin latte was great too. Super cute coffee shop. Had some sute gift ideas as well. Gluten free sweet treats and lots of regular treats to choose from as well.

Everything I have had is yummy! It's a nice big hangout area for people to chat over drinks, read, do computer work, etc. All the while the atmosphere continues to feel comfortable and quiet.

My favorite coffee shop. Thank you Jenn and Aaron for opening your doors to me at 6:30 every morning! I enjoy every time I visit.

This might be our favorite coffee spot in the area! The staff is friendly, there’s ample seating, and the coffee is excellent, with a wide variety of fun items to take home. The pastries are tasty, and there are many flavor options to enhance your drink. In addition to the beverages, there are plenty of locally made goods that you'll want to bring home. We've visited several times and will definitely return! Thank you for being here and doing such an outstanding job!

What a cute coffee shop! I was so surprised to find a place like this in a small town. I had their matcha frappe. It was good but definitely different then Starbucks’s version. They also have a lot of baked goods and desserts. The place is spacious and perfect for a low key hangout. I met up with a client here and it was perfect.

Jenn 's is my home away from home and office, especially since semi-retiring four months ago. It has become my weekday (and often weekend) morning ritual. Morning coffee whilst working for a couple hours. Why? Plenty of seating. Free high speed wifi. Fantastic, friendly vibe with attentive baristas (including the married owners), great menu with everything coffee-related you would expect, but also with a plethora of Jenn 's famous bakery items. The soft background music is typically classic rock during the weekday mornings, newer pop other times. I particularly like the location of Jenn 's in that it sits across the street from Manitowoc 's Washington Park. The huge front windows provide an awesome view of the park. If you want quiet, there 's a rear party-room with several takes and media capabilities. Room can be reserved for meetings or parties. Jenn 's is a community gathering place. I always see people I know and often run into work acquaintances whom I haven 't seen in years. Jenn 's is a local Lakeshore treasure!

Absolutely excellent sandwich! You know that feeling when you take a bite and can’t help but make those delightful "nom nom" sounds? I’m in love with this sandwich and I can’t wait to return. The open-faced melted tuna on gluten-free bread is simply amazing. Plus, the pumpkin latte was fantastic! This coffee shop has a super cozy vibe and offers some cute gift ideas as well. There are plenty of gluten-free sweet treats, along with many other delicious options to choose from.

High quality local coffee shop. Their coffee itself is superb (saying as someone who isn't really a connoisseur in coffee , and they often have both a large variety of baked goods and some sort of promotional gimmicky item or coffee flavor. As a consequence of that last point, I have also gotten the best cup of chili I've ever had in the Manitowoc area from Jenn's (Though they stopped serving it a while ago. Perhaps next winter?

This restaurant offers wonderful cakes and baked goods. The ambiance is beautiful, and they have a great drink menu with plenty of options for dining as well. The staff is friendly. However, I encountered one issue: during several visits, the owners asked me to leave quietly and were not very pleasant about it. I didn't feel particularly loud compared to others. I've brought friends with me, and there’s nothing that suggests people need to be quiet. In fact, they even have board games that encourage conversation among patrons.
