Meet Chad & Alison
In 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to purchase Backroads Coffee & Tea, and we couldn't be more excited about this journey. Originally from Wabasha, Minnesota, we fell in love with Wisconsin's Northwoods and everything that Backroads represents.
We are deeply honored to carry forward the legacy built over nearly four decades. From the founders who started it all in 1987 to Teresa and Rod Peters who grew and perfected the craft, we have tremendous respect for those who came before us.
Our commitment is simple: to honor the tradition of excellence while looking toward the future. We're passionate about specialty coffee, our community, and creating a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
We look forward to many years of serving you the exceptional coffee that Backroads is known for, and we can't wait to be part of your daily ritual.
