Meet us at This Great Coffee Place the third Friday of each month, except March! It’s a special night of Karaoke from 6:30-9:30. Originally started as a night out for teens and adults, the night has become a family favorite that is just as popular with siblings and patents. It’s always a night full of fun and surprises!

Don’t worry if you can’t sing. We have instruments to play or just enjoy meeting new friends!

This Great coffee Place is located at 365 Cottonwood Avenue in Hartland. There is always a great crowd, so come early to get a good seat. The event is open to the public and a portion of beverage sales goes to Wisconsin Upside Down.
