I absolutely love supporting the briar house. The owner is outstanding, and the baristas are friendly...and I love the pieces she picks for her cute shop. There is a large selection of coffee beans there that can be ground. I enjoy stopping in to pick up a variety of flavors. The last time I was there I picked up a book I couldn't put down... Thank you!

So I love coffee and I will go out of my way to find a coffee shop that will sell me a great Mocha Breve with whipped cream. The Briar house does not only sell a lot of different options for your coffee fix, it has lotus drinks, cold drinks and seasonal coffees, it is one of the most adorable places to grab a coffee, buy a snack or go shopping for gifts for yourself or for someone else. If you are in Rhinelander you should definitely stop in and check it out. I love this place! P.S. My Mocha Breve was delicious!

This is a must stop when going through Rhinelander. A trendy girl's paradise, great coffee, boutique clothing, and fun pantry staples mixed with fun home decor. Off the main roads but worth a stop. Extensive and creative coffee menu with yummy baked goods. A fun girls trip stop and great place to take a break and stretch your legs.

Awesome coffee! Some of the best I've had. Very cute store/coffeehouse. It was very busy, but we got through the line pretty quickly. We also came prime time on a weekend. Really enjoyed the variety of drinks they had, and they had nice outdoor seating. We got a maple syrup, iced coffee drink, and a white chocolate mocha. Both were really good! The employees were super friendly and welcoming, and they were working really quickly. Would come back again!

This is the most adorable and delicious coffee shop ever! I went on July 3rd when it was roasting hot outside. I had a large Java Frost with a pump of vanilla flavoring. It was so delicious and refreshing. The upstairs lounge space is truly THE most adorable space I have ever seen in a coffee shop anywhere in the world. The outdoor patio is so pretty with tons of flowers and a nice shaded area too. I bought an adorable dress (with pockets) and will go back to buy some house decor items too. The staff were all very friendly and nice even though they were super swamped with holiday business. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend this local coffee shop as a break from the chain coffee shops and a very unique place with outstanding service and goods.

I have been going here for years. Going to the Briar House is always the highlight of my day. Their coffee, lotus, and smoothies are the best I've ever had! The staff always have smiles, and give such a warm greeting to all their customers. Their punch cards are such a great idea and give me something to look forward to when I get a free drink. If I go to other coffee shops I always compare them to the Briar House, but none ever compare.

Great coffee! Love the curated shop and the little cookbook nook (my dream nook).

I was cruising downstate and crashing hard. Stopped in, grabbed a White Chocolate Mocha. When I say it was the SMOOTHEST espresso I've ever tasted in my life, I'm not joking. And it gave me a good pick me up without jitters. So now I call; order espresso beans and their white chocolate mocha powder. I grind the beans with a coffee grinder and make the espresso into coffee. I add just a bit of the white chocolate mocha and Chobani vanilla creamer. I recall shipping is expensive so I just order in bulk. Since their whole espresso beans, they don't go bad/stale. Thankful to have found the espresso at this adorable little shop in Rhinelander, WI. Oh and staff has been wonderful during every interaction I've had with them!! I kept meaning to make a raving review for y'all and just kept forgetting. Hope your little shop thrives for a LONG time.
