A great coffee and pastry shop! If you are in need of a coffee fix, this is a great location to get specialty coffee, teas, and iced drinks. My husband and I are not coffee drinkers, and both love coming here for specialty drinks. He likes the Italian Ice Sodas, while I prefer a Chia Tea Latte. Also, the raspberry white chocolate scones are amazing!!! They have a variety of scones, muffins, and cookies. A great family owned, local mom and pop type coffee shop. They also sell specialty ground coffee mixes that are perfect to take home and try yourself!

If you are looking for some great deep dish pizza, Pizzeria Unos is a must stop! Locally owned and not part of the franchise, this is a local favorite! If visiting on a weekend, make sure you call ahead, as it's a busy place! But don't worry if you have an hour wait, that just means you have time to drink one of their famous 32 ounce long islands! Pizzeria Unos, The Annex Bar, and Back Bar are all owned by the same person and located on one property. Pizzeria Unos is family friendly with indoor seating. The Annex Bar is an indoor bar, where food from the restaurant can be ordered and delivered over to the bar. The Back Bar is an outdoor bar, along the Rountree Branch Trail. Food from the restaurant can also be ordered and delivered over to the Back Bar as well. This is where both myself and my husband worked through college and where we met. To say this place is special to us, is an understatement. Personal favorites include 1. deep dish, ala-mode (and no they aren't going to put ice cream on your pizza. That's how you get extra cheese!), swisseroo with pineapple, kraut, fresh mushrooms, onions, and black olives, garlic baked. 2. Thin crust, garlic baked, deluxe with fresh mushrooms. 3.

The Platte Mound M is the world's largest M. It was created by engineering students in 1936 who attended the UW-Platteville. It is made of stones, whitewashed every year by current engineering students, studying at UW-Platteville. The 'M' represented mining, which our town and school was founded upon. There are 200+ steps leading up to the top, where a look-out telescope is located to see Platteville and the surrounding areas. The M faces west, so best time to go is at sunset. The M is located 4 miles northeast of the city of Platteville.

A unique house, built on/ as part of the rock/hillside, it really is a must see.
In 1960, Alex Jordan opened his dream house built atop a chimney of rock to the public. Over the years, Alex expanded his vision beyond the House and collected and built on a massive scale. What began as a lofty retreat with an awe-inspiring view has become a spectacular attraction known as The House on the Rock.
