This is where it all began. A few extraordinary individuals with limited funding, yet great ambition and a huge dream. A humble beginning in an old downtown grocery store of yesteryear expertly and beautifully transformed into il Bar Coffeehouse & Bistro - the cornerstone of our new legacy.

Our second brick & mortar location, unexpectedly unfolding before our eyes with a quick meeting and big vision, transforming this warm and beautiful space into a great compliment to Downtown Appleton.

Our third location birthed through some heartfelt connections bridging two couples’ visions into one gorgeous space full of awe and wonder while holding on to the new traditions established by il Bar Coffeehouse & Bistro..
