There are no coffee places nearby to work in while charging so if you're not eating then you'll likely be sitting in your car or walking around the parking lot.

If you're here over lunch or dinner you'll find several good options within walking distance. Outside of meal time there are no coffee places though there is coffee in the Tesla store if it's open and they'll welcome you to sit and work on your laptop while you're there.

Lots of nearby options for food and walking around. If you want a great meal and some exercise, Café Dupont is on 20th Street in downtown and well worth the 20 minute walk (assuming there will be empty supercharger slots for others).

The charger is located on the back of the lodge. When you drive down the hill, drive past the lodge (squeeze between the lodge and the lake) and you'll see them to your left. When we checked in at the front desk they told us that if they were ever blocked to let them know and they'd get the blockage moved.

This is a wonderful place to enjoy a nice meal or to stay. Great views and staff. Even the amps from the charger seemed better here. :-)

Very convenient to people traveling 101. Located in an OK outlet mall. Some mediocre food options on this side of 101. Crossing 101 is somewhere between impossible and scary. There are a lot of food, hangout, and entertainment options in Seaside on the other side of 101 and south a bit. Suggest dropping passengers off in Seaside and then driving to chargers and walking back to meet them. Too bad these chargers aren't on the other side of 101 and closer to the nicer downtown area along Broadway.

There are not a lot of dining or coffee café options but what's here is excellent. Nice flat beach to walk on and a great view of Haystack rock.

Places on the north side of 10th St are safely accessible. Crossing 10th to get to places like Hunan Palace can be scary. Walking south towards Hunan Palace I was almost hit by a car making a right turn on to 10th and then going back to my car was nearly hit by a car making a left turn. In both cases I had a white crossing signal.

The Starbucks inside Hy-Vee is a kiosk. Much better is to go to the one over next to the Hy-Vee gas station.

A fairly good selection of food within easy and safe walking distance. This appears to be a fairly new mall but already has over 50% of its space vacated by previous tenants. Mimi's Café gives a 5% discount to Tesla owners.

In a strip mall but a couple of decent places coffee and food. Some of the better food options require crossing very busy streets.

There are sidewalks on both sides of E. Florence Blvd but crossing it is harrowing. You'll need to cross 7+ lanes of traffic with no refuge along the way when you get stuck halfway. Cars drive quite fast and often make right turns without slowing or looking for people in the crossing. Be Very Careful

There were a lot of cars and most going quite fast so crossing to restaurants was tricky. In one case one car stopped and as we started to cross another swung around them and almost hit us.

Otherwise there are several decent chain restaurants, a few local places, and a Starbucks.

This is a great area with a ton of good food and entertainment options. SE of the ramp (where chargers are located) is the Duluth waterfront area with a number of good restaurants and Amazing Grace Café which has really good cappuccino's. Nice area to walk around. There's a lakes freighter that you can tour and occasionally a much larger one coming in to harbor that you can get a close up look at under the lift bridge. Directly east are some award winning rose gardens that were created when they covered over the freeway (every city should do this).

Chargers are located in a place that should feel fairly safe at all hours. There are a lot of food options within easy and fairly safe walking distance. Some cars do drive too fast through here though and don't always pay attention to people walking.

About as ideal of a place to charge as you'll find. A number of good restaurant options within safe walking distance. Several of the airstream food trucks are quite good.

We learned about this because they had a destination charger. This is a very nice B&B with a really great breakfast. The stuffed waffles aren't to be missed. If you have time it's worth visiting Rock City (yes, of See Rock City barn roof fame) which is a short walk down the street. This will definitely be a stop each year for us now.

During the day this charger is fine though possibly limited food options. We've not yet tried Cheddars though. On another trip when we arrived on a Saturday night the parking lot was packed (Shiloh Roadhouse?) which made access to the chargers difficult. When we got back to our car another Tesla had arrived and he was being harassed by a bunch of guys. As we were leaving a couple of pickup trucks pealed out and showered the chargers with gravel. Fortunately no cars were charging.

Numerous chain restaurants to choose from and for those on the same side of Hiway 90 there are sidewalks. However there are a lot of drivers not paying attention or not expecting people to actually be walking. Some people might not feel safe here later at night.

There are limited food options nearby though more if you're willing to walk a bit. Culver's (a bit better than McDonalds) is likely the best. There are marked crossings where Kennedy St crosses Hiway 82 but be ready to move fast as you'll only have green (white) for a very short period. This will allow you to get across to Mtn Mud Coffee and other places on the north side.

There are sidewalks all the way in to downtown Mauston for those interested.

Easy access on and off the highway. Realistically the only food option you can safely walk to is Tobies. But it's not a bad option. There are some fast food places on the other side of Fire Monument Road that are moderately safe to get to as drivers are usually going fairly slow through here.

Some former big-box stores and strip malls are vacant with the buildings and parking lots deteriorating. I assume this is somewhat recent given satellite images showing cars in some of them so hopefully this will turn around. There are limited food options and with only a couple of exceptions they are difficult to walk to especially in winter.

This is what a charger location should be. Lots of options for coffee, food, and shopping as well as just walking around. There is little motor traffic and what traffic exists is slow and attentive to people walking.

BTW, the charger is located on the Woster Ln side of the building.

Kudos to the owner of GEM for making this available. It saved our bacon.

Located in the pay parking lot but if you're there less than 2 hrs there is no charge on exit. Note that depending on the direction you are coming from that Tesla Nav will send you the wrong way so plan your route ahead.

Great if you're staying at La Quinta though there are no lights on this end of the parking lot for night security. Steak & Shake, Fujiyama, McDonalds, and Starbucks are somewhat safely accessible (even in winter snow) and drivers seem considerate. Walking over to any place on the west side of Emerson doesn't seem possible as there are no crosswalks and 8 lanes of traffic.

Getting to any of the food places in winter can be treacherous. This is a place designed for cars, people who want to walk need not visit. There are no walkways and cars are surprising unappreciative of being slowed by people walking.

If the mall is open there are a number of food options including a Starbucks as well as chain store shopping. Doolittle's might be the best food option but you'll have to cross a busy service road with no crosswalk. Not a problem if it's not busy.

There's a pretty good coffee place and some other food options within easy and fairly safe walking distance. There's also a nice park on the north end of the lake (cross the RR tracks at Crescent and walk behind Southeby's Auctions).

Good location. Fairly safe feeling. Crossing Gardner Ln can be a challenge as cars don't stop. OTOH, Heine Bros coffee is quite good and a great place to hang while charging. No really good restaurants though Bulkhead Mtn grill is OK and better than typical chain food.

Hidden in the alley behind the buildings. OK during the day or when people are around. Some might not feel safe here late night. OK food options but nothing to write home about.
