Most People Don’t Know There’s A World Famous Orange Couch In Wisconsin
In southern Wisconsin, there’s a coffee shop that will always be there for you. Cup O’ Joe is no ordinary Wisconsin coffee shop. It’s a shop that you’ll want to visit, whether you visit alone or perhaps like spending time with Friends. Yes, this coffee shop has a big orange connection to the beloved NBC sitcom, and if you’re lucky you could have a seat on it with your next latte - here’s what you need to know about Cup O’ Joe.
This little coffee shop is located in Kenosha County, in far southern Wisconsin. It’s right on the Illinois Border in the village of Twin Lakes, a popular recreation spot.
It's home to one incredible sofa, just like the one you know from the beloved TV series Friends, which had its original run from 1994 to 2004.
The couch was a feature in one of the key sets on the show – Central Perk Coffee. If you settle in, you might feel like you’ve been transported back to the 1990s.
The shop is its own destination with its own distinct branding, but the couch really stands out.
The couch is a Warner Bros. Replica of the real Orange Couch. The shop raised money to buy the couch in an auction for charity – it was one of just 20 officials replicas that were constructed.
The shop got the couch after raising over $11,000, and the coffee shop will always be there for you - just don’t expect Rachel Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, or Ross to show up.
There’s much more to the shop than a famous prop.
It takes its java seriously, offering an array of hot and iced drinks, including herbal tea, and even boasting a full bar for those seeking something stronger.
It also has a full menu that has what you need - whether you're craving a morning bagel, a hearty grilled cheese for lunch, or homemade soups to warm your soul, it's got you covered.
I love a good coffee shop, and this is one that’s on my list. There was once Must-See TV, now there’s Must-Drink Coffee! Learn more about Cup O' Joe on the shop's website.
