Best Spring Green Coffee Shops and Tea Rooms
Spring Green General Store
137 S Albany St
https://www.springgreengeneralstore.com
The town’s living room. Coffee, lunch, local goods.
Since moving here, I’ve made Sunday music at the General Store a ritual. Live music, neighbors, zero pretense.
Why it matters locally: It anchors downtown and supports actual local makers and musicians. It’s steady.
Arcadia Books
102 E Jefferson St
https://www.readarcadiabooks.com
Independent bookstore with espresso drinks and thoughtful quiet energy.
Since moving here, I go to Arcadia any chance I get. It’s calm. It makes you slow down in the best way.
Why it matters locally: It keeps creative and intellectual life visible in a rural town. That’s not small.
Best Tea & Slow Afternoons
Hedge Meadow
140 S Winsted St
(Hours vary seasonally)
A small herbal tea shop and café focused on eclectic gifts and seasonal drinks. You can find zines, prints and mini cauldrons here.
Since moving here, stopping by Hedge Meadow feels grounding. It’s quiet, intentional, and deeply Driftless in energy.
Why it matters locally: It keeps plant knowledge and herbal craft alive in a modern way. It’s slow living without being performative.
No Rules Gallery & Bird of Paradise Tea
📍 120 S Albany St
Tea room inside an eclectic art gallery serving teas, homemade sweets, and famously good pies.
Why it matters locally: It blends art and comfort seamlessly. You can browse local work and sip tea in the same breath. That combination is very Spring Green.
