On a cold winter day, there’s nothing better than warming up with a hot cup of Joe.

Even the act of heading to a coffee shop can relieve the cabin fever that many feel in the colder months. We asked our readers for the best coffee shops around the state. This is what they had to say:

Rise and Shine Coffee House, Cornell

This coffee shop has the perfect cozy atmosphere if you’re looking to sit in, or a drive-thru option if you’re on the go. Their coffee beans are locally sourced and roasted fresh from Bella Goose in the Wisconsin Dells.
