They were so sweet and they accidentally messed up the order and apologized and made it correct customer service was amazing

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!!

I absolutely adore this place! I eat there most days! gotta get me some raspberry white chocolate matcha and either a bagel sandwich or a gravy! So so good! Love the workers as well!

the food is a little overpriced for the taste. It sits out overnight and the fruit on some of the food is VERY tangy and soggy.

Stopped by for lunch today, I had to pivot from my original order because they were low on ingredients. The chicken bacon ranch wrap was delicious. I also ordered an iced peppermint mocha. I'm so glad I stopped at this locally owned spot. I highly recommend you stop by!
