Hear from our valued guests
This is currently my favorite coffee shop in Appleton! Great espresso, killer nitro cold brew on tap, and their cinnamon scone is the bomb. The tall windows along College Ave let in a ton of light so this a great spot to post up for a while and work.
This is an incredible coffee and breakfast spot! My wife and I have traveled and lived all over the country. Our mission when traveling or moving somewhere new is to locate THE coffee spot for the area. I’m talking about that shop that’s got coffee done by baristas who truly know how to craft drinks, using ingredients that are thoughtfully sourced and high quality beans, roasted just right. THIS is the shop to find that in Appleton and the surrounding region. The coffee is delicious, meticulously crafted, and you MUST check out the baristas faves special creations menu. And pro tip: if the coffee shop mentions that it is a roastery, their coffee is probably phenomenal, and ACOCA is no exception! Next the food: WOW!!!! I’m not sure who’s back there cooking, but the dishes are phenomenally designed, and everything is cooked to perfection. This isn’t a place to gorge on plain breakfast foods. This is a place to enjoy and experience thoughtfully crafted dishes with incredible flavors that leave you highly satisfied. Worth every cent! My gosh the potatoes are amazing!!! Finally, customer service was wonderful. A gentleman came and spoke with me and my family… I believe his name was Russ. He was non intrusive but engaging. All staff were professional, inviting, respectful, and friendly. This lent to an atmosphere with the decor and seating that is welcoming and restful whether you’re looking for a meeting spot, remote work away from home, chill with the family, or a date spot! All in all, ACOCA is absolutely the place to be and my family will be back.
My friend and I ate outside on a sunny day. The service was fast and helpful. The atmosphere was chill and very clean. I especially appreciated the fact that the line wasn’t too long and the location is easy associable. Good food, great experience.
My favorite place on College Ave! This place is HUGE. I absolutely love this coffee shop. It is the perfect place to hang, meet with friends, or even take a mid afternoon lunch break! Their yogurt parfait has been my go-to in the morning and I love trying the barista recommendations for my coffee or tea fix! You truly can’t go wrong here - especially if you want a nice, vibey, large space with lots of natural lighting!
Great local place with a fun atmosphere and kid friendly. They were very accommodating when my kids requested "extra chocolatey" hot chocolate. Love this place, a great way to spend time with dear ones whenever I come home.
This was an unexpected delightful experience, one would think the industrial modern interior with hints of postmodern to be lighting to this vast space. The coffee is dark and delicious, the lattes are creamy tasty and full of flavor! The quiche was crispy, firm and tasted like homemade. The enlarged map of Appleton is a delightful touch and find once you stumble across it. The cutlery is heavy enough to make your grandparents proud! Remember to not judge a book by it's cover and pop in to discover this great space.
I met the owner, Bill, at another restaurant and came by to check them out. What a great spot! They have an exceptional selection of coffee from around the world and the food is delicious. I got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with Kenyan coffee to drink. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town. Thanks Bill and the entire ACOCA staff!
In Appleton for a conference. Asked the Appleton Visitor Center for a good place for breakfast and they suggested Acoca. Turned out to be an excellent choice. The place has a nice coffee shop/cafe feel to it. It's spacious, well lit, and has plenty of options for seating. Got a friendly greeting and help with ordering. Ended up deciding on one of the Brussel Sprout Bowls, and the Lox/Egg Croissant. After putting the order in, including drinks, we got a number and waited at the table. The drinks came out in short order, and then the food a little after that. Everything was hot, well seasoned and good portions (I have never had that much Lox on a sandwich!). The Brussel Sprout Bowl had plenty of interesting textures with bacon, and nuts. The eggs were a perfect easy over. (one suggestion, we typically get our Brussel Sprouts a bit more roasted). Definitely a very good choice for breakfast. Would love to come back next time we are in town.
Good food. Selection was good. Somewhat long wait for food so don’t be in a rush- I’d say good half hour..daughter said waffles were meh, I had Brussels they were good. Little on the pricey side but all in all a good vibe.
The food and coffee were both excellent, especially the Nordic Waffle Sandwich, and the service was amazing. Very attentive and friendly. The space itself brings me right back to my college days of wanting a cozy, artsy space to inspire my inner-artist.
