Kelly has done a great job of making this a welcome place!! Like a country store, when you walk past the screen door, you see clothing and gifts for sale on the side and your greeted in with a coffee counter and a pleasant smile. But don't stop there. It is the only coffee shop in Walworth County with a full tea table ready for kids under 4. Bakery goods and booths for conferencing are also there. In summer their outdoor patio is a trip! Oh yes the have a very large hall upstairs for big meetings. Order an embroidered hat or jacket from the store in the back. You'll get a kick out of it.

Wish I could bring their mocha latte back to Chicago with me. Starbucks is a 1 compared to this place. Maybe a 3 with a good barista in the Gold Coast or river north.

Their Mocha Latte was better than Star Bucks and Boxed & Burlap. It has a warm homey atmosphere. The workers were friendly.Lots of different things for sale to look at. It was a nice experience!
Great food, atmosphere and service. We live in town and have never had a bad meal here. The Friday fish fry is amazing with fresh bread, choice of potato and soup or awesome chili. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I walked over here while waiting for the Christmas parade to see if they had any good food options for a small lunch. I noticed some cute women's clothing off to the right. Due to the parade the line snaked all the way around the side of the ordering station and I didn't get a chance to see the menu to check for food, but decided to get in line because there were a dozen people ahead of me already! There was a small dining room in the back near the kitchen with table seating and I could see that they had baked goods. Once I made my way around to the front counter I was glad to see that they did have three soups, which seemed like a perfect option for keeping us warm while we watched the parade. They also offered paninis and other food items. The soup options were chili, pumpkin, and chicken noodle. While I love a good pumpkin bisque, I wan't sure if this one would be a cream based version here or not, and something like chili with beef sounded great so I ordered two of those and a hot apple cider. Due to how busy they were, there was a bit of a scramble for the staff to determine the best way to communicate with the kitchen and get soup up to the counter, but they were on it. My apple cider came out quickly, and it was good although I wished it had been just a little hotter. Several minutes later my chilis were ready, piping hot and complete with crackers, spoons and napkins. The chili was homemade with lots of tomato chunks, celery, some beans and beef and it definitely hit the spot. The shop is family-owned and had lots of gift items, decor and clothing available as well as Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. Their coffee brand was JBC Coffee Roasters. Available in the shop they had drinkware, Jewelry, teas, soaps, and pet supplies to name a few. When I got back to my parade post, I found out they were running a hot cocoa counter out of the back parking lot with a long line as well. If in the area I'd definitely stop back in.

A seriously great place to get yourself some ice cream or coffee in a classy and fun environment. I got a sweater here a while ago and it has been a mainstay in my closet since. I also got a Carmel breve and panini, which was recommended to me by the barista.
