LifeSpring coffee shop

On Tuesday, while up at the cottage, our internet went out. Tim needs the internet for his job so we headed to Minocqua to find a cafe/internet. Luckily we found LifeSpring coffee shop, located in a vintage geodesic dome south of Minocqua.

As I waited for my special Alterra coffee to be made, I walked around the coffee shop and discovered not only is this a coffee shop but it offered a full supply of health foods, fine art by local artists, antiques and a great vegetarian menu for breakfast and lunch.

Bowl o’ beans
Sprouted mung beans and sweet lentils are mixed with spicy refried beans, home-grown rosemary and basil, red wine vinegar, Bragg’s Amino Acids and grape seed oil and served with a side of delicious organic blue corn chips.

Spicy bean and cheese quesadilla
A veggie wrap filled with spicy refried beans, sprouted mung beans and lentils, tomato and organic pepper jack cheese, served with your choice of Muir Glenn organic mild black bean and corn, medium garlic cilantro or hot salsa. Shhhhh! The secret to the extra tasty, crispy tortilla is a massage of grape seed oil.

Vegetarian pizza
Finnish flat bread topped with spinach, sprouted beans, red onion, tomato, olive oil, Bragg’s Amino Acids, tahini, red wine vinegar, organic Parmesan and plenty o’ garlic and toasted to golden crispy goodness.

Hummus sandwhich
A whole-wheat pita sliced in half and filled with spicy hummus, veggies and bean sprouts and topped with oil and Bragg's Amino Acids. Served with a side of organic lettuce, balsamic vinegar and oil.

Pesto panini
Panini flatbread spread with garden-fresh basil pesto, red onion, tomatoes, olive oil and Parmesan. While basil is in season only.


This is a really nice place to stop in if you're in the Minocqua area. I'm hoping before we leave this weekend to go back home we can stop in once again and try their vegetarian lunches.
