If you’re a Friends fanatic, we’ve got some great news for you. Wisconsin has its very own Central Perk – well, sort of. The state’s recently-opened coffee shop, Cup O’ Joe, is Friends-themed, and it’s as incredible as it sounds. It even has the iconic orange couch the gang sat on while hanging out at Central Perk! Take a look:

Still rather new, Cup O’ Joe Coffee House opened on Main Street in Twin Lakes at the end of February 2020.

From the outside, it doesn’t look like anything special. However, the interior tells a much different story – and that’s because it’s brimming with nods to Friends.

The highlight of the eatery is definitely the oversized orange couch, which fans of the show will remember was a Central Perk staple.

But it doesn’t just look like the couch from Friends. It’s actually one of the 20 couches that were made for the show.

The eatery’s owners won the couch in an auction – it cost $7,500!

Not surprisingly, the couch is a popular spot, so reservations are required to sit on it. It can be reserved for as little as 15 minutes (for $25) all the way up to 3 hours (for $300).
