Often in the spring, summer and fall I will go to a local coffee shop to research, blog and even conduct interviews.  I find the change of pace refreshing.

When I went to find Wi-Fi for the first time in my town, I was very disappointed.  I wanted to work from the Lake Geneva Public Library.  It has one of the best views of the lake and seemed like the perfect spot. 

Unfortunately, it is a very old building and as such, has no accomodations for the those who need to be tuned in to the internet. 

While I was being educated by the librarian at the Lake Geneva Public Library about the lack of Wi-Fi there, I spied a list of Wireless Internet Locations she had on her desk. 

I asked about it and she graciously made be a copy.  Since then I have been able to go about my town wirelessly (less so now because it is winter, and I tend to hibernate and write from my cozy home location).

Here are the Wireless Internet Spots in the Lake Geneva Area courtesy of a very kind librarian at the Lake Geneva Public Library:

  • Caribou Coffee- Main Street, Lake Geneva- First hour is FREE;  You can then obtain a code for the remainder of the day with purchase.
  • Geneva Java- 723 Geneva Street, Lake Geneva- FREE
  • Postnet- 253 Center Street, Lake Geneva; M-F- 9-6 p.m.; Sat. 9-1/Full or half day rates
  • Starbucks- Main Street, Lake Geneva- charged through T-Mobile
  • Soleil Caffe- FREE- 58 Market W, Elkhorn- #723-1470
  • Panera Bread- FREE- Hwy. 50, Delavan, #728-9914
  • Fontana Public Library- FREE, M- 9:30-5 p.m.; T- 9:30-8 p.m.; W- 9:30-5 p.m.; Th- Summer- 9:30-5/Fall- 9:30-8 p.m.; Saturday- 9-1 p.m.
  • Burlington Public Library- FREE- M-Th- 9-9 p.m.; Fri- 9-5:30 p.m.; Sat. 9-5:30 p.m.; Sun- Closed
  • Aram Public Library-404 East Walworth Avenue, Delavan, WI 53115; #262-738-3111

I have been to only two spots on the above list, Starbucks and Caribou Coffee. In both these spots it was easy to set-up the Wi-Fi and the connection was fast.  The views were great also. 

If you have any additional spots to add, please comment below.  Happy surfing, blogging, and internet use.

Rebecca,

 Thanks for the list!  It's so hard to find spots around Delavan and Lake Geneva for wireless.  Appreciate the help!

Thank you so much Rob.  I am glad you could use it.  The Showboat Theater in Lake Geneva also has Wi-Fi.
