Whelan’s Coffee & Ice Cream - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

A really nice coffee shop with incredible atmosphere. The 2nd level is really nice with ample seating, games, and great decor. I had a cruller and it was excellent. Especially dunking it. I also had a Cappuccino which had the perfect amount of foam and milk. Saw a church group there as well as students and folks just hanging out. Really nice quiet place.

Love the atmosphere here in this small town coffee shop! It's always clean, warm and welcoming. Staff is always friendly, there's a great variety of snacks, drinks and ice creams, and the coffee is delicious. I had the Acai Berry Bowl last time I went and it was out of this world! The delicious special cookie that comes with every drink is always the cherry on top! Love it here!

My husband and I have come here twice now. Best mocha he's ever had. I loved my Matcha. Best mint brownie I've ever had. He's enjoyed a couple different ice cream sandwiches. We love the atmosphere. We especially love the later hours: it's hard finding quiet coffee spots open later! We're not bar people, we're coffee house people and YES enjoy coffee late!
I do have one complaint, however. That bathroom is seriously gross! The walls are gross. The sink is gross. There's a fake plant with 3 years of dust on it touching my knee when I'm sitting on the toilet. It's only one tiny bathroom and dirtier than a Mobile gas station. I just hope this isn't an indication of cleanliness from where the food is coming from.

Family owned coffee shop in the heart of downtown Oconomowoc. I always get the iced, creamy caramel coffee. Delicious and creamy as listed! Coffee shop has a clean, old school vibe. Staff are friendly, and I never have to wait long for a drink. It's the perfect stop before going on a walk around Fowler Lake.

Awesome customer service, calm and fun atmosphere. My teenage son loved that they had chess boards out.
Decent selection of food, drinks and desserts.
I've had several coffees here and all have been awesome.
This will quickly become a regular stop when we are in town.
For easier parking, there is a lot behind the shop and you can enter through a side door.

Lovely atmosphere with 2 floors for sitting. Lots of games and chess sets to use. Coffee, bakery and fantastic assortment of ice cream. Coffee isn't that great, but still a lovely place.

Went here for the first time today with my wife and daughter. Great little coffee shop, love the ambience and staff was very friendly as well. My honey latte was delicious and my wife loved her iced chai too! We will definitely be back here next time we are in downtown Oconomowoc! ☕️

One of the best local spots in Oconomowoc. They have quality coffee and amazing homemade breads like banana bread. Not to mention...they also have ice cream!

The indoor seating is so cozy and there is quite a lot of options. In the very back they have a couch area which is nice for when you want to relax and read a book. They have plenty of other table options with a chess board provided too.

I love the tree they have up during the holidays. I definitely recommend stopping here if you haven’t already!
