Fabulous internet cafe in Ely. I spent time here one morning while my female cousins were getting…read moremassages at Pebble Spa and again later in the week when we all were doing laundry at Ely Speed Wash across the street. My first visit I enjoyed a house baked scone and the second visit I tried one of their breakfast burritos. Both were good choices, but if I had to repeat, I'd go with another scone. On their menu, they also offer quiche, muffins and a variety of danish. The coffee is self-serve once you order and they give you two regular and one decaf to choose from. If you add sugar to your coffee, they had the real thing, plus raw sugar and a rainbow of artificial sugars to choose from. I got a grin that the ice cream they offer was a small town company back home in Illinois. They serve, Prairie Farms. Which is based in, Carlinville, Illinois. It was nice to see that they support a farmer owned company. Front Porch does have a fabulous porch that almost wraps around the entire building. It is great for relaxing on a beautiful day. Pets are welcome with well behaved owners. Only thing that disappointed me was, I did not visit them on a Monday. Monday is the day, Seniors get a 10% discount and we all like to save. Staff was what you'd expect from a small town coffee shop, it was extremely friendly. Everyone knew each other, yet they made out-of-town folks feel welcomed as well.

A great spot to stop as you make your way up north!…read more It's right off highway 61, there is parking lot right next to the store and in case that one is full there is another one across the highway. There is a crosswalk but be careful, people drive quick! The space itself is small, no tables inside just a counter for ordering. It looked pretty busy when we got in but our food was ready in about 15 minutes. It was delicious and we will definitely make a stop next time we are in the area.

They are $3 each or if you buy them prepackaged two for $5, and they had absolutely ZERO banana flavor. ZERO! I have to assume the baker forgot the extract. It was mid morning so the choices were slim pickings. The person I was with opted for an old fashion cake donut, which had so much cinnamon it was almost inedible. I got a Bavarian cream "filled" Bismarck. Less than half of the donut had filling and it was flat and dense. Super disappointing.
