Seth's Coffee & Bake Shop
Reviews
Delicious espresso and lattes. Yummy food choices as well. Try the honey garlic sauce on a turkey provolone panini. Employees are pleasant, friendly, and service oriented.
I've been to coffee shops all over the world. And where do I find the best coffee I've ever experienced? Little Chute, WI. Wait, what? What is going ON here? Seriously - this is the best coffee shop I've ever visited. I go there regularly. The shop is incredibly well laid out, the coffee is phenomenal, and the service is great. You will wait for your coffee. In my opinion, there is no Seth's coffee "to go." If you want speed, go to Starbucks - their coffee is great and they'll have it out quickly (well, maybe...). That said, if you want incredible quality, go to Seth's.
really good coffee, it's refreshing to see a place that knows how to brew coffee in such a small town
As a fully trained barista from the St. Paul/Minneapolis area, I was anxious that I wouldn't be able to find a specialty coffe shop in college. I tried out the shops on College Avenue and none of them met my standards of by-the cup brewing with single-origin coffees. So I'm very glad to have discovered Seth's in Little Chute! Seth's is nearly everything I could want in a coffee shop. The atmosphere is cozy, and as other reviewers have said, reminds me of an urban coffee shop. It's a great place to study, and the background music is almost always excellent. When I go with a larger group, Seth's is the perfect place to hang out and play cards or a board game (which they even lend out!) My coffee standards are quite high, and Seth's meets them for the most part. They have solid, seasonal offerings of Intelligentsia roasted beans, which are always fresh. Although some have complained about long wait times, as a barista I understand the care that goes into hand brewing coffee; it's well worth the wait. On one visit, the barista even redid my siphon pot to improve the coffee. I'd say in general, the brewed coffee offerings are better than their espresso drinks. While I've had fantastic cappuccinos and single-origin shots, I've also had a few drinks where the shots was noticeably over or under extracted. However, that's getting picky and overall the coffee is the best you'll get anywhere in the Fox Valley. The food is also great, although I haven't tried enough offerings to give a full review. I've always been satisfied with meals I get there though. Check out Seth's if you haven't yet! Wonderful coffee, atmosphere and food. The baristas (and Seth) are always very friendly when I visit and any waiting you have should be worth the quality! One last remark, I wish they could take tips from a debit card! I hardly ever carry cash and wish I could show the baristas how much I appreciate them!!
Great neighborhood coffee shop. Wish we had one in Appleton!
