Our Story

WELCOME TO CROSSROADS COFFEHOUSE.

We take immense pride in being more than just a place to grab your favorite brew – for years Crossroads has been a cherished pillar of the community, a gathering spot that transcends the boundaries of a typical coffeehouse. Here, we strive to cultivate an atmosphere of warmth, familiarity, and genuine connection. Our commitment extends beyond crafting the perfect cup; we are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie. As the heartbeat of the neighborhood, we take joy in supporting local initiatives, showcasing the talents of community artists, and providing a welcoming haven for everyone who walks through our doors. It's not just about coffee; it's about creating a space where friendships flourish, ideas are exchanged, and memories are made. Join us in celebrating the essence of community at our coffeeshop – your home away from home.

A little about us. Cross Plains holds a special place in our hearts, as it's where we both grew up, met, and eventually decided to build our lives together. Following a journey to Bayfield, Wisconsin, where we tied the knot and began our newlywed adventure, we realized that our true home was right here in Cross Plains. The decision to return was solidified with the arrival of Miles, and as the saying goes, the rest is history.

We have enjoy every moment of connecting with theCrossroads community, and we look forward to not only meeting you but also engaging in meaningful conversations and serving you with warmth and dedication. Our goal is to create a welcoming space that feels like an extension of your own home.

As we embark on this exciting journey, we extend a warm invitation to join us at Crossroads. Whether you're a long-time patron or a newcomer, we're here to make your experience enjoyable and memorable. Until we have the pleasure of meeting you in person, may your coffee be strong and your Mondays be short.

~Dale, Katy, Miles and Madeline Ripp
