I think I've tried all the coffee shops is downtown and this one is the best by far. It's clean, spacious and most importantly, the coffee tastes like coffee, not hot chocolate.
Locally roasted coffee and farm-sourced food downtown

Delightful local coffee shop with very good pricing at $5.75 for a 20 ounce iced latte. Big menu with plenty of good options. We walked here from Riverfest and it was really nice. Friendly staff and it was really nice that they were open at least until 2 PM on 4th of July. 👌
I was welcomed with a smile and happy greeting when I stepped up to the counter. The bakery case featured a variety of delectable-looking bars and muffins. I chose a blueberry oat bar, which was chewy and delicious. The coffee tasted great, too. I will certainly stop by Free Range for coffee and a treat on my next visit to La Crosse.
Free Range Café in La Crosse was a great stop for a quiet morning breakfast snack with Sophie. We enjoyed streusel, scones, and smoothies, and really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. One thing that stood out was how welcoming they are to dog owners. They have a dog-friendly outdoor patio while also appropriately welcoming legitimate service dogs indoors. Sophie settled quietly under the table and did excellent throughout the visit. Good food, good service, calm atmosphere, and dog friendly done the right way. Definitely a place we look forward to visiting again.
