Lock 16 Cafe & Visitor Center.A lovely cafe with tables inside and outside. Gift shop with unique historical items. Rent a bike, take a ride on the I & M canal, in a boat pulled by mule. Visit the shops in historic downtown LaSalle.

What a great find! Thanks to Yelp we ate at this charming cafe and had a lovely brunch. Located in a visitors center so we almost passed on stoping. So glad we did. Interesting wall murals of the Illinois and Michigan canal There are quaint gifts in front to peruse or not. Small menu but a little bit of everything. Order up front and a cute older gent delivers. Good quaintly, amazing English muffin that appeared to be either house made or from bakery. My panini breakfast sandwich with egg ham & Swiss was so buttery. I may have to try to copy at home!

This is the cutest visitor’s center I’ve ever seen! I went in for a quick coffee, but ended up staying for over a hour. This place is a clever mix of a coffee shop, a historical information center, and a gift shop- for both boutique gifts and canal related memorabilia. It was another plus that the center opened earlier than all the other shops in the downtown area.Everyone who worked there was friendly and ready to answer questions. We’d like to go back when the boat tours are open and try those out.

This gift shop and cafe is one of the best. Whether or not you take the boat ride, the visitor center has history and one of the best shops, filled with a well-curated, unique collection. My quiche was scrumptious, my husband's veggie wrap yummy. LaSalle itself is a gem of a town with eclectic shops and...history!!

Comfortable and inviting place with a varied menu. The BLT was great!
Very nice place, lots of choices for food and other stuff, a little pricey but good location and great service.

Ambiance there is wonderful. You really feel like you're surrounded with the history of Illinois with things to buy everywhere. The host was awesome there and very polite. The food was smaller portioned but worth it. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. A hidden gem
