The hot mocha latte was perfect for a chilly morning and the Blueberry “cake” with a side of syrup for dipping was absolutely delicious! I have been here three times when I’ve been in the area for work, and each time the drinks, food , and staff have been amazing.

If you're ever passing through, do yourself a favor and stop here. The coffee is absolutely top notch—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. But the real standout? The baked goods. Every pastry I've tried has been delicious, but the biscuits and gravy deserve their own award. Comfort food perfection!

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the owner. They don’t just serve coffee—they remember names, faces, and always take the time to spark a genuine conversation. It feels like you're walking into a friend’s kitchen, not just a business. It's the kind of place that reminds you why small-town spots are so special.

Highly recommend—this little gem is worth every visit.

Stopped in Penny's for breakfast. Inviting atmosphere, cowboy charm with seating inside and out. Large pastries and good selection of breakfast items. The Cowboy burrito, Poptart, and Spinach feta quiche were delicious. Hidden treasure

I drink coffee daily around southern Illinois and this is definitely one of my favorite stops. Great selection for custom.coffees and the pastries are delicious as well as breakfast items. Haven't had anything I didn't like and service is always prompt. The staff is so friendly as well!!
