Amazing coffee, great food!! My personal favorites for coffee are Mexican Mocha and Beautiful Burnt Goat. They’re all so good you can’t go wrong. Last time I was there I had sourdough toast smothered in fresh raspberries and drizzled with lavender syrup.
It was heaven!!!!

Barringer's Restaurant
1 Spruce StTerrific food in a beautiful setting. Indoor or outdoor dining.
Beautiful historic Inn with amazing food.
Incredible breakfast and their famous Door County Cherry Stuffed French Toast.
They have, in my opinion, the best Fish Boil on the peninsula. Your fish boil meal comes with a slice of cherry pie (and ice cream if you wish). Aside from everything being delicious.....they offer seconds!!!
They make their breads, coleslaw, and tarter sauce from scratch. Enjoy a cocktail on the beautiful patio while the boil master tells you the history of the fish boil and cooks your dinner.
If the timing is right, take a walk after dinner to the end of the street to Sunset Park and enjoy a beautiful Door County sunset!

The Clearing is a folk school founded in 1935 by landscape architect Jens Jensen (1860-1951). This “school of the soil” is nestled within 128 acres of Door County forests and meadows and overlooks the dramatic Green Bay shoreline. It was built as a place where ordinary people could, as the name implies, “clear one’s mind” by reconnecting with nature and with one another.

Not far from the cottage is this little farm store with produce, grass fed beef, milk, eggs, home made sweet breads and other items. You can tour the garden your food was grown in or tour the whole farm. I have walked here from the cottage and I say it’s walking distance. My son would strongly disagree. 😆
