This might look like a small shop—but don’t judge a book (or bookstore!) by its cover. With 4,800 square feet of books, this place is a reader’s dream come true. We chat with a fellow book lover and owner Kalan Bavnick about the great things The Book Store offers beyond their large selection of books including a trade-in program, new & used books, book clubs, rental options, special events and more!

Mile of Music Festival

Bill Wetzel turned his lifelong dream of owning a restaurant into reality with ACOCA Cafe & Roastery. In 2015, he purchased what was then known as "Beaners Coffee Haus" and, while preserving its core values, brought his own vision to life by adding a full-scale kitchen. It was the perfect way to combine his love of cooking with his passion for creating a place where people could connect over great food and meaningful conversation. Bill believes that “One great place” isn’t just a tagline—it’s the true meaning behind Downtown Appleton as a destination.
