    When I rate things on Yelp I take the location into consideration.  For Spooner, which is two hours from a major city, this is as good as it gets.  The sandwiches are very good.  I'd take one of these over Panera any day.  (I know, to some of you that's probably not saying much, but trust me, they're pretty good).  Coffee is good as are the baked goods because they're not greasy like the mass produced stuff you might get at a big box grocery store.  This is right about at the halfway point between the Twin Cities and Bayfield if you're taking the Hwy 8/63 route, too, so it's a great midway stopping point.

    At least twice a month, my partner and I head up to Spooner/Hayward from The Cities to visit our friends and her family - Alley Cats is the stop for our caffeine fix.

    Fantastic coffee and home-made bake goods - their cinnamon rolls are a must-try.  The owner is never not there and he makes the one of the creamiest lattes a barista has ever made me.

    They have great monthly themed drinks,  like "The Nutty Irishman" in March, and their flavoring with syrup isn't overdone.

    My only hang up is that Alley Cats, like almost every other coffee shop in a skinny-latte world, doesn't carry whole milk.  If they did, I might have to swing by Spooner on my morning commute to Saint Paul.

    Good coffee and smoothies with a nice small menu featuring a variety of tasty paninis and breakfast options. The service is always excellent, this is a great stop while traveling through NW Wisconsin.

    We just drove past this place, looking for somewhere else, and went back and checked it out. It is an open-plan cafe serving "paninis" which appear to be grilled sandwiches with grill marks and a foreign name. The waitress was sweet and the paninis crisp and ungreasy, soup was fine. Coffee above average, Wifi worked. Chatty, local atmosphere, plenty of parking and quite busy. If what you want is paninis and coffee this is your place.
