Comprehensive Coffee Guide - Lakeshore to Lake Country

You might remember my post about my favorite coffee shops in Milwaukee from a while back, but a lot has changed on the coffee front in the past few years! I felt compelled to put together a comprehensive list if you're in the lakeshore to lake country area and are looking to skip the Starbucks... it's not every coffee shop, but it's a lot of them, and you're sure to strike it rich with a quality cup of joe at any of these spots! Happy sipping, friends!
