COVID is still among us. Our spaces are small with little possibility of distancing- do not hesitate to wear a mask if you have concerns about this.

The Cafe Carpe, is a family-friendly cafe and bar (with no TVs), housed in a century-old brick building on the Rock River, with a separate listening room and a screened porch overlooking the water. Run by fairly sentient centenarians Bill Camplin and Kitty Welch, the Carpe has been idiosyncratic since 1985. Peruse this site to learn its fascinating history, and to discover what it has to offer, and when, but do not ask why.
