“This bakery has such a wonderful selection of Amish and Mennonite fresh baked goods as well as many other items. The caramel pecan rolls are so amazing. The strawberry (or maybe it’s raspberry?) angel food cake is also rock star level delicious! They have jams, jellies, homemade bread, noodles, and a variety of preserved fruits and vegetables. They carry handcrafted wooden items and a wide variety of various retail souvenirs. The ladies tending the store were very helpful and quite pleasant. This bakery is easy to find and has plenty of ample parking.”

“Good food and drink spot in Kalona! In the words of my friend: "There's a few restaurants and the brewery... the brewery is good." Upon arrival, we saw the place was nearly empty and requested a table a bit of distance away from others as one of our group members is immunosupressant. The younger hostess got frustrated with us quickly and almost made us want to leave. SERVICE: 5/5 We opted for a spot at the bar - since it was basically empty - and this saved our experience. The bartender (and our server) was extremely kind and fun, as well as the other woman working that evening. We loved connecting and chatting with them! DRINKS: 5/5 I got a root beer on tap, and the rest of our group got flights. They loved their beers - some cool nitro, IPAs, barrel aged, coffee stout, and more. Honestly really impressive options for Kalona! One of the servers even showed us her favorite - mixing the cider with their sour. FOOD: 4/5 For food, our crew enjoyed the pork tenderloin sandwich and black and bleu burger. Unfortunately, the stir fry rice was too mushy and overdone. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Cozy vibes, but the seating arrangements are a bit funny - there's a large space on one side with no seating, and you can't eat at the sofas.”

““They forgot to cut my pizza, and it look bad. We had to cut the pizza ourselves smh. Them cookies do be smackin though.” I got confused whether this was at Washington or Kalona. Turns out this was in Washington. Sorry about that.”

“It’s impossible to have anything bad here. Excellent pizza, garlic bread, pasta, you name it. I’ve yet to have something I didn’t like here. The owner Randy is fun to talk to and his place as of this date is the only bar in Wellman with beer on tap.The interior is nice with an Italian style to it. Everything is clean and I’ve gotten to know some of the staff there. It’s got a large tv to watch sports. There’s also an ice cream shop there as well. Definitely the place to go to if you’re in Wellman. Be sure to bring cash or check, as he doesn’t take credit cards here.”

“Cute small town coffee shop with plenty of space. They also have a small store area with repurposed decorations. You should stop in here if passing through. The town also has some kind of Star Trek vibe.”

“This is a hidden gem of a place! It's very unassuming from the outside. Family friendly small town bar and grill at it's finest! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area. Honestly it's even worth a trip if you're not in the area!Kid-friendliness: High chairs, friendly staff, and family specials!”
