Waking Up With Cafe Con Crema

7/30/2026

Right off of 172 at Packerland Drive stands Cafe Con Crema, frequently voted as a brunch favorite in many of Green Bay’s restaurant awards. I drive by it during business hours weekly, and when I do, I see a packed parking lot. Every single time, I tell myself I’ve got to check it out. I’ve been telling myself that for two years. That changed very recently. My time to find out just what those crowds were all about had finally come when a friend reminded me of this promise when we got together one weekend. 

We arrived shortly before 9 am, and the parking lot was full as it always looked. I was concerned we may need to look elsewhere for brunch that day, but we were fortunate enough to be seated quickly due to our smaller party size. We took our seats, placed our order, and waited with our coffee and water for our meals to come to the table.

The interior of the building is super cute. You can see the bones of what used to be yet another sports bar on Packerland in the arrangement of the booth and the beams sticking out of the ceiling that were probably supports for TVs in the building’s past life. Cafe Con Crema has smoothed over those old bones to craft a cozy brunch spot to catch up with friends and family in booths that feel isolated from the noise of the restaurant. It’s a welcoming and comforting place.

Visiting Steel Belly BBQ at the Lawrence Food Truck Rally

7/5/2026

This past weekend, the Green Bay Food Truck Coalition held their annual Food Truck Rally at Quarry Park in Lawrence, and of course, I made my way out to grab a quick dinner. I haven’t been able to make it to some of these events in a long time. I looked forward to making the short trip to a small but pleasant neighborhood park to see what was available on a Sunday evening. These events are known for bringing folks together with good food, music, and a little beer tent if you’re so inclined. I didn’t have the time to take in the latter, unfortunately, but I did get my hands on the food. 

The Food Truck Coalition never ceases to provide options at these rallies. Local Food trucks come from all over the region to take part, and there is something for everyone. For those reasons, it took me a little bit of wandering the semi-circle of trucks to make my choice. I came to the conclusion that there are few things better on a summer evening than barbecue.

@eatingnormal I stopped in to the Lawrence Food Truck Rally last weekend to try Steel Belly BBQ out of Algoma. Their brisket and mashed potato bowl was a delicious indulgence for a summer evening. You can find a full written review at eating-normal.com, or if you want to check out other food truck rallies in the Green Bay area, wait til the end of the video! #food #foodblog #foodblogger #greenbaywisconsin #greenbaywieats #greenbayfoodie #restaurantreview #foodtruck #bbq ♬ original sound - Eating Normal
