I will second Gina's Pies are Square. Great coffee shop in Whitehall Wisconsin called "Alternative Ground." Old restored building, laid back atmosphere and great scones. They don't care how I look coming in from exploring some of the valleys off the beaten track in Trempealeau County. Great stop for anyone heading toward the Tremp Wildlife Refuge from the north. In LaCrosse, check out Bean Juice in Jackson Plaza, also known at Highway 33. They roast and grind their own.
