Things To Do
Downtown Cedarburg
Cedarburg is a cute little town with a lot of local stores. Walking the main street is a relaxing way to spend the morning. Check out Penzey's for all your spice needs or Boulangerie Du Monde for some exceptional bakery items. Get there early, though, because they sell out fast!
Lake Michigan at Concordia University
Walk the beautiful Lake Michigan bluffs located on Concordia University's campus. Be prepared to go up and down a steep hill using either switchbacks or stairs.
Fiddleheads Coffee Thiensville
This is where we had our first ever date. As such, it holds a special place in both of our hearts. When Alex's friends converge in Wisconsin for the holidays, it is not uncommon to see them sipping on coffee and catching up while at Fiddleheads.
Highland House
Check out the restaurant the Alex spent a summer serving at. Full of kitschy decor and an unclear theme, this place is always a fun time. They are known for their margaritas and the special seasoning they put on the chips that every table gets.
Café Hollander Mequon
Another place where Alex will frequently meet her friends, this restaurant has great food! If you can get there for breakfast, the breakfast potatoes are crispy and yummy.
Harrington Beach State Park
If you want to get out and dip your toes in Lake Michigan, Harrington Beach State Park is the place to go. There are also some hiking trails that you can walk.
Cedar Valley Cheese Store
You can't come to Wisconsin without getting some quality cheese. A staple for the Miller family, this store has really yummy ice cream and food in addition to very fresh (squeaky) cheese curds. Zen recommends getting the deep fried cheese curds.
Downtown Port Washington
Port Washington is located right on Lake Michigan. It has a quaint downtown area that is fun to walk around as well as a breakwater light that you can walk out to. We recommend checking out the Java Hut for good coffee and Ewig Brothers Inc. for some excellent smoked fish.
West Bend Labyrinth Garden
A volunteer run garden that has 1/2 mile of paths full of beautiful flowers. A nice, quiet place to spend a sunny afternoon.
West Bend Farmers Market
Open 7:30am to 11am every Saturday, this farmers market has over 100 vendors. You can find everything from fresh produce to crafts here and would be a great way to start the day!
