This is the CUTEST coffee shop and bakery!!!! Located in the quaint downtown of small town Perry,…read moreIA and just opened about a week ago. You walk into the beautiful brick building, wood floors and it smells scrumptious. You are welcomed by the cheery staff and an assortment of handmade, locally crafted items from candles to crocheted items. Up toward the counter you have a long glass case to view all the yummy eats from egg and cheese scones, cookies, HOMEMADE BREADS, and I got the cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing. Beverage wise, they serve the basics, coffee, lattes, mochas, teas and hot chocolate. The ladies/owners were super friendly and treated us like we were family. There is a large area with tables and chairs that would be great for conversing, working, or a meeting. They even have a cool "back entrance" to the cute woman's clothing boutique Backwards Boutique. Will definitely be going back. A new shiny gem you must try!!

I've seen reviews for this place, but never knew where it really was. My husband and I went on a…read moreroad trip and stumbled across this cute little coffee/food shop. Many places to sit and eat too. We ordered coffee and their signature beignets just like New Orleans. We got the originals. They were hot and fresh and delicious. Our drinks were made and delicious as well. We had to wait on the beignets, but our waitress told us they'll be hot and fresh and they were. It was worth it. Many other things I'd like to try, but it was a quick stop. Next time I'd like to sit down and eat inside. Very quaint, very cute.

Tried the traditional, which was my favorite, we also had a Lemon, and Cinnamon Sugar. They were all great. Wife said she enjoyed the Lemon. There is another flavor called Holy Hot, but we didn't try it. Also, added a half order of the biscuits and gravy, which was very good. We also each got coffee. I got an iced coffee and my wife ordered hot. Coffee was great as well. This is a small coffee shop, but has great service and food. Definitely worth a try. We drove out of our way for this and will do it again. Small town friendly service and atmosphere. I'd post pictures but we already ate everything. Lol

Breakfast available, so one in our party went with that, and that was the right choice for the day we were there. My wife and I each got a salad - I got the California Chicken, and she got the Chicken Harvest Apple Salad. The menu says they are each spring mix lettuce, but there wasn't much spring in either of ours - pretty much iceberg with a touch of darker greens. The chicken was thin and tasted fine, but didn't have a lot of seasoning. The bread was good, and if the lettuce had been closer to what we thought we were getting it would have made a significant difference. We just chose poorly. The breakfast platter looked amazing, and we saw a couple of wraps and sandwiches pass by that looked really good. Service was very pleasant and efficient, and our food came out in good time. They cleared our table as well and even though it pretty much counter service, there was more service provided than you might expect. We will try again and just stick to the sandwiches or breakfast. The lettuce mix may have been a substitute or may be what locals prefer; just wasn't what we thought we would be getting.

I am not from the area and was looking for a place to work for the day. After purchasing a cup of…read morecoffee from another establishment (who did not have ideal seating), I visited Queen Beans and asked if I could bring my outside coffee in if I purchased breakfast there. The staff member assured me it was no problem at all, so I bought breakfast and worked for the day. The next day, I followed the same routine (since I actually really enjoyed the other places coffee and I was already told it was no problem if I bring in outside drinks). However this time, a different staff member informed me that outside beverages were not allowed, but said I could stay if I poured my coffee into one of their cups. I completely understood and complied without any issue. 30 minutes later, the owner approached my table in an aggressive manner and began berating me for not following their rules. Despite explaining that I had received information from two employees allowing me to stay, the manager continued to reprimand me, stating it was common sense not to bring outside drinks. While I always respect the rules of any establishment, the owners disrespectful tone and demeaning language were shockingly disgraceful. I would not recommend dining here if you expect courteous and professional ownership or management.

I'm happy to report that she'd be proud of her namesake town, especially Casey's Creamery. From the outside, I initially wondered if it was more of a decorative storefront than a working ice cream shop. The moment I stepped inside, I realized it was the real deal. What makes Casey's Creamery stand out is its small-batch approach to ice cream, with creative flavors that make it worth taking your time to decide. I was also pleasantly surprised to find they serve donut holes--a fun addition that pairs perfectly with a scoop of ice cream. Whether you're making a road trip across Iowa or simply passing through central Iowa, Casey's Creamery is a sweet place to take a break, cool off, and enjoy a treat. It's a charming hometown shop that's well worth the stop.

The 2 ladies that were there were super sweet. There is some seating inside and outside. And you can see the old architecture of the building inside and out which makes it fun. They are only open 6am-2pm. Will need to go back and try their pizza as I was not impressed with the donut.
