This is one of those places and I highly recommend you come here for the coffee alone. I wouldn't call it a coffee shop, as it is primarily a restaurant, but it's the closest thing to it and serves a variety of coffee drinks. I just consider it a bonus that they do a great job with the food that they serve. Their menu isn't big, but it feels like they put a greater focus on quality rather than quantity. Everything I have tried here has been superb. Great atmosphere, food, and coffee. You can't go wrong!

We discovered this quaint little coffee house during a recent family trip to Albion, Illinois…read moreresearching our ancestry. When we arrived, the young lady barista and pastry chef extraordinaire was in the back baking pastries. She served up the best Caffe Macchiato including the signature swirls. What an artist. Some locals showed up and we had the best conversation about Albion. Our ancestors all grew up in nearby Ellery in the 1800's so it was exciting to have coffee in the downtown area they likely traveled to albeit with horse and wagon. The coffee shop is housed in a beautifully restored home across from the town square. If your nearby, it's worth the drive.

It was my first visit ever to this establishment and I absolutely will not be back. I told her I'd never been in before and asked for a quick recommendation and mentioned I like caramel flavoring, while I accepted what was recommended because they were rather busy she was rude and curt. While waiting for my order I was looking around at the items they had on the shelves and the back nook area and it is very beautifully decorated and setup when I was making my way back to the counter I caught the register attendant give me a very obvious nasty side eyed look (there was no one else standing off to my side where I was it was very obviously pointed at me and or my child) either way not ok and I noticed the only man that placed an order with her while I was there the only customer she turned on the charm for smiled was polite and actual decently seeming customer service was a young gentleman once I got my order the code I received was extremely burnt tasting and overly sugared how one achieves that combination is beyond me. The worst experience I've ever received at any establishment and working in customer service myself it was absolutely appalling

The Chicken Salad Salad was hand made pulled chicken salad on top of a bowl of mixed greens. It was large enough for two. Most salads and sandwiches were north of $10. That might seem pricey, but with Sara's being practically the only lunchtime spot for miles around of this tourist community we're fortunate they didn't charge more.
