I had the fruit salad and brisket sandwich. Both were delicious! The fruit was ripe and fresh cut. We also shared a piece of the chocolate cake between three of us and still had leftovers! It was a super generous helping and very decadent.The atmosphere is quaint and fun, with beautiful light fixtures.The gals serving us were friendly and helpful great job and thank you!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp entrance in the back. I recommend bringing help or calling ahead, as you'll need to maneuver the gift shop area. Totally doable with care, just be aware.

Best place in town and best pastries for miles around. It's a turnaround spot for many a 40 to 60 mi bicycle ride out of Cedar Rapids or Iowa City.

Love this place and happy to see it doing well! The food and drinks are great. My one qualm is one part of the service, the man that cooks the sandwiches with the glasses is so so rude. Would be the perfect place without him, the rest of the staff is great.
