Staff Spotlight: Meet River 🌅☕

Bar lead at our Viroqua cafe, River brings warmth to every shift—and some seriously stunning latte art. When he’s not crafting cappuccinos or pulling silky espresso, you might catch him taking in the sunrise with the team before the cafe opens—a favorite quiet moment of connection. His ideal morning?

🦮 Walking his dog, Willie Nelson

🌿 Watering the garden

☕ Brewing a pour-over or tea and watching the world wake up

🎨 Working on a painting or knitting project

🥾 Then heading out for a hike or a swim in the river Go-to order? A cappuccino or an espresso tonic with a slice of grapefruit.

Favorite local hang? Beside the Kickapoo River, of course. Come say hey to River next time you’re in Viroqua—he’ll probably make your drink and your day.
