My husband and I visited Door County this past May — our fifth time up there — and FINALLY made it to Kick Ash… and oh my goodness, THIS PLACE IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM! Yes, I’m that excited!
From the moment we walked in, we knew we had stumbled upon something special.
*Customer experience? Absolutely outstanding.
*Coffee? Delicious — rich, smooth, and exactly what you want to sip in a cozy cafe.
*Bakery? 100% gluten-free and completely drool-worthy. As someone who eats gluten-free, this was a total win!
*The shop? Filled with stellar merch — couldn’t leave without snagging a hoodie for my son!
We loved it so much that… we went FOUR times during our trip. Yes, really.
On our last day, we stopped by for road snacks and a goodbye coffee, and got to thank Carol Ash herself — the amazing owner behind it all. Her warmth and passion radiate throughout the entire space, and it’s clear why the cafe feels so special.
We’re heading back up in November for Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait to bring my son with us this time. Kick Ash will absolutely be one of our first stops!
Thank you Carol and the entire Kick Ash team — you’ve created something truly magical, and we are obsessed!
