Review Visit: June 6th, 2016…read more If you visit the blog often, you will notice my trend for visiting coffeehouses and see that I tend to order Iced Caramel Lattes at most places. Black Maple was no different. A perfect blend of milk, espresso and caramel made this one place I would love to re-visit. It would've scored a perfect 5, but they are a walk-up/drive-thru only, so if it was a rainy day, it could possibly affect trying to get something from there. Also, they could've used some benches outside, but since it is located in the parking lot of a hotel, they are doing great with what they have. I don't frequent Canton, but I am going to always visit this place if I do.

We were really excited to try this place but very unimpressed. They didnt have anywhere hardly to…read moresit inside. When we ordered we asked how sweet drinks were and were told they weren't sweet. My husband ordered a vanilla latte which had hardly any flavor (including coffee flavor). I ordered a caramel macchiato which was SO sweet. We also ordered a bfest croissant. The croissant was panini style so smooshed and burnt. Sorry to say we will not be back. Hope others have a better experience then we did.

Somehow they have the only actual red and juicy tomatoes I've seen in winter. The veggies were all fresh and crisp. This is also a great place to smell and shop all the Serious lip balm products. Spoiler alert: they are all fantastic.

I've gone from telling everyone about this place to being reluctant to recommend. I have eaten here 4x in the past year, and every time I walk away disappointed. The chicken avocado sandwich used to be the bomb, but they have cut corners, and it's now just "ehhh". I tried two different paninis yesterday, and then both were pretty blah. I don't mind paying $13 for a sandwich if it's good, but the sandwiches here have lost their taste and pizzazz. It makes me sad because I used to really enjoy having lunch here.

I let her pick the coffeehouse we visit and that's how we ended up at The Beanhive. Upon walking in, I knew we picked a great place. The Beanhive has the vibes of grandma's house. Everything feels vintage, antiqued, and from the 1970s. The decor is definitely eclectic and feels like they raided said grandmas' house for all their furniture. All of that is a positive in my book. Emily ordered a caramel latte and I got my usual iced americano and we split a warmed up cinnamon roll for breakfast. It didn't take too long for our drinks and roll to come out. The americano was as dark as the night sky and that was a good sign. I took a sip and was instantly in heaven. This was, without a doubt, the best americano I've ever had. Emily was smitten with her caramel latte and we both loved the cinnamon roll. We stuck around a bit longer than intended because we both just loved the vibe of the place and the baristas make us feel really welcomed. If I lived in Galesburg, this would be the only coffeehouse I would visit. Sidenote: They do have stickers, pins, shirts and other merch if you are looking for that kind of stuff. We both got some stickers and pins while Emily also grabbed a nice looking long sleeve tye-dye shirt. Their merch has a Jimi Hendrix vibe to it, which fits with the vibe of the place.

In addition to normal coffee and lattes, they also have a wide variety of other drinks and baked goods. Brandon goes out of his way to keep the selection fresh. There are always seasonal specials available as well as a seemingly endless selection of syrup flavors to create your own "special". On this particular trip, I enjoyed an iced peppermint mocha that was very good.

I was a little anxious to get on the road and was surprised they had pour-overs as their drip coffee option. It was worth the wait.

At one point I had a call that I didn't realize I'd have to speak on, so the barista turned down the music for me during the call. So sweet! The WiFi was strong and the drinks were yummy. Not any more expensive than a typical coffee shop and we even went the next day as well!

I ordered the chai, half expecting something thin and overly sweet. What arrived instead was a…read morewarm, fragrant testament to restraint--balanced spices, just enough milk, and a whisper of quiet joy. I sat back with K.W. in one of the window-side chairs, letting the mug steam gently into the late-morning light, and took in the interior. It's the kind of place that rewards attention: reclaimed wood, soft colors, seating that invites rather than insists. This was not an Instagram café--it was a Christian coffee shop. And I mean that as praise. I don't just mean it had a verse on the wall or worship music humming faintly behind the grinder. I mean the place carried a spirit of care. You could feel it in the details, the warmth of the baristas, and--most of all--in the baby shower happening quietly in the side room. From what I could tell, it was all women--close family friends of the expectant mother--gathered in soft tones, with gifts, cake, and affection flowing. There were balloons. Laughter. Maybe a tear or two, but the joyful kind. I thought about the holiness of childhood, the ridiculous courage of parenting, and the spiritual stubbornness it takes to keep loving in public. There are many ways to do Christianity poorly. But when it holds space for reflection, for the protection of the vulnerable--children, the poor, the disabled--it becomes something rare and tender. Guest House feels like one of those places where such values are quietly lived out, without announcement or ego. I'll be back. For the chai. For the ambience. But mostly to support a place that, in its own gentle way, remembers what a gift life is.

I'm travelling, and I'm an early riser, and I've gotten really tired of bad coffee and indifferent road food. I saw that Mimi's was open at 6 am, so went in the hopes of finding a really good cup of coffee and some breakfast. I ordered an oat milk cortado and a breakfast bowl (hashbrowns, bacon bits, egg, cheese). Both were great! The shop itself is welcoming and you can tell that these folks are paying attention to the details. If I weren't gluten-free I would have ordered a couple of pastries to take with me on the road, but I am completely happy! Definitely worth a stop.

I stopped by here during lunch.

While I stood by the cash register at least 3 different ladies behind the counter passed me by. Not one greeted me or asked if I had any questions or if I wanted to purchase anything. There were no other customers ahead of me or behind me. And there were at least 5 employees all shrieking and laughing in the kitchen and having LOUD personal conversations amongst themselves. Finally someone came out and instead of saying anything to me she just stood and stared at me until I told her I wanted to order something. I ordered a salmon and broccoli bowl and a dirty soda. My wait was not long. The food and drink was surprisingly very good and the place is clean. While I wanted to come back another time and try their coffee drinks I just couldn't get myself to due to how painfully awkward it was to order here. The feeling I got was that customers are a burden.
