One reviewer described the Crimson Cafe as "an oasis in a desert of fast food joints, pizza places and bars." As an historic home located on Lincoln Street in Rhinelander, you can expect a charming & welcoming atmosphere. Parking and an outdoor courtyard are located behind the building - find your way inside & place your order at the counter.

Table seating is a series of smaller rooms original to the home as well as a gift shop to browse through. This is an ideal spot to grab a coffee, soup or a sandwich while shopping in town or driving through on your way to adventures. The menu is a refreshing change of pace for the Northwoods and offers fresh & healthy dining options.
Services

Absolutely killer Poke Bowl! I was staying at the hotel next door and swung over for lunch. Got an Arnold Palmer and the Sashimi Poke Bowl, and wow blew me away. In a town of bar food and chain restaurants the Crimson Café is a diamond in the rough. Strongly recommend, healthy eating without sacrificing taste. Wish they were open until 6pm or 7pm for dinner!

First time at the Crimson Cafe, can't believe I haven't been here sooner. Owner recommended the poke bowl with seared Ahi tuna. That isn't something I have ever tried or thought I would be into but I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. The food was amazing as well as the smoothies and service. We will be back for sure.

Where to start? I honestly can’t stop to eat at Crimson Cafe, please stop me😂. I love, love 💕 to go there just to seat in their peaceful back garden under red umbrellas and clear my mind! Totally zen!!! The Cafe is located in residential neighborhood and atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Coffee, drinks and food is delicious 😋 and someone really thought about the taste of each single dish because it’s high quality.
Also, no one mind myKuki comes with me. Not only they are pet friendly but they went above and beyond for her. Just imagine! that after I seat her on metal chair by my table

Dropped in yesterday in need of WiFi, met the owner, and had a delicious cinnamon nitro coffee with a touch of cream. I can’t wait to try their food and smoothies options next!
