The add-ins don't overpower the coffee taste. The pricing is pretty on par with similar shops. I also can't leave without an açaí smoothie bowl. They're perfect every time! The staff are always friendly and helpful. The only slightly negative thing I can note is sometimes the wait has been a bit long, but it's always well worth it. This would be a great place to study or do remote work, as the interior has ample seating space. They always have relaxing music playing as well! I really can't say enough good things about this place. If you think Starbucks has good coffee, you really need to visit Awaken so they can open your eyes!

Awaken Cafe has got it right, they truly understand what a cafe is supposed to be like. For…read morestarters, their service is incredible. Dylan, the man who took my order, was super friendly and welcoming. Despite them being busy, he seemed to make a meaningful connection with each customer that came through. When I asked him questions he was more than happy to answer them. Rather than making me feel like an annoyance or "just another customer", he made me feel welcome. The cafe itself is busy, but not in an overwhelming way. If anything it is kind of exciting. There is no underlying current of stress and hurry in the air. Everything from the building to the upbeat music feels alive. I fell in love with the place before I even received my latte. And once I did get my latte? Mannn, I've got two words for you. Pistachio and tiramisu. Freaking genius. Truly the best latte I've had all year (and I drink a lot of lattes). Unlike many iced espresso drinks the flavor of the espresso was strong and flavorful. It was good, very good. And when the flavor of the espresso combines with the pistachio syrup, white chocolate, and cocoa powder? Forget about it. You're in a whole new world. Awaken cafe isn't just a coffeehouse, it's an experience.

What a great find in a smaller central Illinois town! Incredibly well decorated and very warm/cozy…read morevibe inside. The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!

We flew off the highway to see what this farm complex was all about. It's an impressive set up with…read morea variety of spots to explore for a break from driving. Service was good and attentive. I noticed the comments about high prices, and for the area, I bet that is true. We found the prices comparable to large cities. The smoked brisket chili doesn't taste smoky, but the meat is tender and the chili flavorful. The charcuterie was good, and we loved the apple chutney. The space is open and airy. It's a very family friendly place with the bar and bourbon tasting room toward the back.

Stopped here for a break and lunch while passing through Indiana. The Farmhouse Restaurant menu…read moresaid they offer a "quick & casual lunch" and well, they weren't lying about the casual part... We ordered two lunches, both the 1/2 grilled cheese and soup. One with tomato soup and the other with chili. We also ordered the *special* $5 egg salad sandwich. The grilled cheese came out as some cheese microwaved between a soft burger bun. Really disappointing and crappy. The chili and soup were okay. The egg salad sandwich was very basic and lacking flavor, served on classic white bread. It was also a weird dining setup, it felt like we were eating in a giant and deserted beer hall. Total transparency: we both expected more from one of the nation's largest dairy farms. We also thought the food would be a little cleaner, like a farm-to-table experience and less processed, but it tasted like food we could get at a gas station. My husband was disappointed with the ice cream selection at the milk bar, he was hoping for more of a variety other than the basic strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, etc. We also needed to get DEF for our truck from the Fair Oaks BP and my husband called it "highway robbery" for the cost we paid. He said it was 2 or 3 times what he normally pays. In summary, a total tourist trap with crappy lunch food. I also didn't know about their animal abuse case from 2019 until after we left. And the allegations about neglect and improper slaughter in 2023. Gross and sad.

I visited the Red Barn Milk Bar after fueling up at the BP next door because nothing says "road…read moretrip" like a gas station snack followed by a dairy detour! I haven't been to Fair Oaks in years, but wow, I'm glad my stomach convinced me to stop. Service is usually 5/5, think Olympic-level milkshake handoffs, but today it felt more like a relay race where everyone forgot to grab the baton. When I walked in, a family of four was waiting for their milkshakes and ice cream. Apparently, the ice cream was being churned by hand or maybe by a cow on break because it took a while. I wandered around and set my sights on a grilled cheese. I hovered at the order counter, channeling my inner cheese magnet, but nobody appeared. So, I shuffled over to the ice cream side, where the same family was still mid-sundae saga. I waited (patiently, like a saint in line for a miracle), but not even a "be right with you!" from the staff. One young lady was making ice cream magic for the family, while another wiped things down with the intensity of someone training for the Clean Olympics, but neither said a word. Two more families came in with their kids; clearly, this is THE spot for a post-gas snack. One of the young ladies finally approached, looking like she'd rather be anywhere else. I ordered my shake (victory!) and, remembering my grilled cheese dreams, asked about it. She told me I had to order at the other counter, so off I went again. Still, no one was there, so I peeked around the pick-up window and spotted someone hiding (maybe from me, maybe from the cheese). Finally, order placed! My small grilled cheese, perfect snack size, was secured, and I headed home, adventure complete. Overall, I'm giving them a 3/5 this trip, mostly for the "Where's Waldo?" staff experience. But normally, service is top-notch, and I'm optimistic it'll bounce back. If you haven't visited, check them out. It's a whole vibe, great for families, plus a hotel, restaurant, and even tours. Where else can you chase a milkshake with a side of mystery and a dash of dairy drama?

It's a tourist attraction. We have been here two times. On a weekend where we waited in a long line…read moreto order, then waited for a table to sit at, and again another line to use the toilet. The grilled cheese is good but I wouldn't say it justifies the price point other than there probably aren't many other options. We went back a few days later on a weeknight as we had to go back to the hotel on property for something and there was no one in there at 6pm. This was a much nicer experience and the guy that took our order also cooked the food and was absolutely the nicest. So, your experience may be relative to when you are there.

Seriously who is chucking out their hard earned cash for zesty caffeine?? My go to energy has ended up with the relatively healthy stuff called C4 I can only find at Big Lots but hey this place has ha covered for the immediate Route 24 amp up to keep driving.

They were friendly and gave good directions and information about things around town; sorry, no names... They also had cheap gas. I hope I never go here again due to our situation, but yeah, this was a cool place!
