w/Anna Pitts-Anna’s on the Lake

A few years back, Anna Pitts and her sister were enjoying a drink at Harborside Common Grounds, a Downtown Kenosha hub of caffeine overloads and social activity for 22 years. Like many of us do, they had a little dream of what they would do if they ever owned their own coffee shop. Little did they know at the time, when Common Grounds closed last fall, Anna and her family jumped at the opportunity to carry on the tradition of delicious drinks, delectable pastries, and scrumptious sandwiches along our beautiful Kenosha harbor with the opening of Anna’s on the Lake, 5159 Sixth Ave! But wait, there’s more! At Anna’s, you can enjoy an alcoholic beverage of your choice on the triple tiered deck and grab a brat or hot dog from their grill!  

We sit down with Anna and talk about how her life led her to this career and much more! 

Follow them on Facebook here to stay up to date with all their upcoming plans and summer hours!
