“I tried the shop for the first time today. I had forgotten my hearing aides & had to read lips. Their card was down & because I was out of town, they went to a alternate system & really accommodated me well. The Bread & cookies were just really good. The staff was friendly & professional & treated me very well. I was pleased & will go back.“

“I love my PrairieFire Coffee!!! I have bought nothing else since I found it nearly two years ago... I had sworn off of the chain coffee hotspot ..which will remain nameless ... where you pay for the name and not the taste... and I was buying online from someone else when I made the discovery of this glorious brew! I love that they are family owned... I love the pricing... I love the COFFEE!! If you haven't tried it... You are missing out!!! Check it out!“

“I've had several dishes from the tacos to the spicy Asian chicken wraps and everything has been extremely delicious. They also have some of the best homemade giant cookies you've ever seen and my pick is the chocolate chip. And I really like the fact that everything is made in-house and is fresh. Their pricing is very competitive for the product they're serving and the staff is friendly. Great place to stop in if you're tired of the big food chains.“

“A Sanctuary of Warmth and Community – Café Quetzal There are places in the world that remind you what it means to belong. Café Quetzal is one of them. Step inside, and the chaos of the outside world fades into the background—replaced by the rich aroma of fresh coffee, the hum of friendly conversation, and the warmth of a space built on inclusivity and connection. The first thing you notice is the sense of welcome. A pride flag waves gently in the window, a symbol of the café’s unwavering commitment to community, acceptance, and love. It’s a space where all are embraced, where laughter spills across tables, and where a simple cup of coffee feels like an act of kindness. Outside, the world is unpredictable—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes absurd, like the shadow of a dinosaur stretching across the pavement. But inside, there is sanctuary. Here, you are met with smiling faces, vibrant art, and the kind of small but significant comforts that make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of reflection, deep conversation, or just a really good cup of coffee, Café Quetzal delivers on every level. It’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a refuge. A place where warmth, love, and hope are always on the menu.“
