It takes millions of years of extreme heat and pressure deep within the earth's crust to transform a regular coffee bean into a crystalline iced latte. Top off your fossil fuels with cream and sugar with today's Groupon: for $4, you get $8 worth of coffee and café fare at Ice House Coffee & Creamery in De Pere.
Brewing up a bevy of coffees, teas, and espressos, Ice House is an ideal hangout for caffeine freaks and chamomile junkies alike. To suit traditionalist sensibilities, stick to the basic coffees ($1.50–$2) or café lattes ($2.95–$3.70), and for more daring drink desires, sample from Ice House's variety of creative concoctions. Try a self-explanatory raspberry white-chocolate mocha ($3.20–$4.20) or the grasshopper frappe, a refreshing blend of espresso, mint, and vanilla, topped with whipped cream and imitation grasshoppers made from real crickets ($3.95–$4.45).
In addition to the varied array of coffee-house sippables, Ice House offers a medley of smoothies, ice-cream treats, and baked goods. Cool off coffee-burnt tongue tips with a hard-packed ice-cream shake or malt in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, caramel, or raspberry varieties ($3.20–$4.05), or splurge with the Drury Delight, a mountain of brownies capped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, and cashews ($4.75).
Enjoy your hot or frozen treats in the comfort of Ice House's cozy interior. In a cottage-esque setting decorated with colorful wooden chairs, the experience is more akin to drinking coffee at home than in the oppressive gloom of normal coffee shops.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Enjoying Parties
If you're unfortunate enough to receive an invitation to a get-together, don't go out chopping firewood, lighting a fire, and then dramatically throwing your invitation into the garbage next to the fireplace. Instead, follow these handy party-attendance tips:
- Show up fashionably late—approximately 15 minutes after enough coats have been collected on the host's bed for you to hide under.
- Bring a small gift, such as a bottle of wine or a newborn baby.
- Hit the dance floor with as many hammers as you can to prevent dancing.
- Trade boring small talk for boring regular talk by having no opinion on anything.
