The coffees are available in both the hot and cold variety. I myself had the Caramel Kiss, which was perfect! Also bought plenty of chocolates to take home for the family. There are also pastries which I have not tried but did look good. The owners said that once the weather changes they would have other types of frozen drinks. Service was great, staff is very friendly! If you're in the area, I would recommend you come and enjoy their amazing chocolate!

It's my 700th review! High fives to all! Confetti dropping! Ahem...For my 700th review, I wanted it…read moreto be special. I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

The portions were big and the shrimps were well cooked! Our servers were great, the vibe was great and I really enjoyed my time here!

Collins Fine Foods is certainly one of the better shops in Van Wert. It's menu is varied. It's a…read moreliquor store... a darn great liquor store! Plenty of beer, including craft beer, wine, and liquors. But, it's more than that. It has a deli that makes sandwiches or sells you cut meats or cheeses, it will sell you fresh steaks, it has a varied selection of candy, jelly beans and fine chocolates. It has gourmet coffee for sale. There are gift baskets for purchase. It's pretty much a one stop shop for a great party or perhaps a romantic dinner! I came twice to this store already, and plan on coming much more often. The first time, I came to check it out. I kept hearing from so many people I work with that this place is great. They are right! I was pleased to finally find a liquor store that sold at least one of my favorite wines (Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio) and had other wines I would truly. I was happy to find out the store sold one of my favorite brands of chocolate (Sanders) and even had its sea salt version! It also has craft beers! Awesome! I talked to the owner, great guy. He told me about the steaks and how I can order certain cuts and he would have them shipped to the store. He even advised that if there was a certain wine I wanted that wasn't sold there, he would also have it shipped! Yes! I think he also mentioned (and it's on their menu) that they sold hot foods on certain days before 4:00 pm... including soups, bbq pork, and other meals. hmmm will have to see and check it out. I came a second time during the chocolate walk. They were handing out plenty of chocolate treats but also booze! They had Rumchata Limon, A Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer that tasted like coffee and a dark chocolate wine. If you know me, you can guess I went for the wine! Wonderful! Will have to buy some in the future! Someone I met during the chocolate walk said it was a bit too strong for her taste... not for me... perfect! Chocolaty goodness that with the liquor warmed me up during an especially frigid day during the chocolate walk! Great place! I have to come back once I have finished settling into my new house!

I assume she is the owner. How very rude and unprofessional.

I've tried their donuts which I bring to work and share with my team, and also their paninis. The one I like the most is the beef and cheese with chimichurry sauce...delicious!

Think it's time I updated my review from a few years ago as it was when it was called El Mexicano…read moreand it was in a different location. They say a rose by any other name smells just as sweet, in this case whether its called "El Mexicano" or "Cilantros" it tastes just as good. The delicious food I wrote about in my prior post years ago is still mote than valid. Your taste buds will have a great experience eating at Cilantros! I have come several times here with family, friends or business associates and I have always come out happy and full. My favorite dish is still the Pollo La Isla. It is composed of fillets of chicken breast with bacon, Chorizo and cheese dip on the top. Served with Mexican rice and guacamole salad and tortillas. Tell me that doesn't sound good!?!? Well, it tastes better than it sounds! Its addicting! Service is of course quick and efficient, even when it gets full or you cone with a large party. I have come here several times during lunch on a workday and I am back to my desk by the hour. The place, though, is a big improvement over the old. More light, more open, the bar area looks beautiful. Definitely worth the move. My only gripe comes from the bar area. They do not sell Kahlua, which is a pretty Mexican drink, and also one of my faves. If I could have some, while here, well I would love coming here even more! Hint Hint. Cilantros is a great local place in Van Wert! If you have not tried it, you are missing out!

She ordered the French Soda and the breakfast sandwich and I did a custom iced latte (white chocolate and pistachio with almond milk) and the smoked Gouda grilled cheese. Everything was very good and perfectly made. They did run out of eggs that morning so my friend's breakfast sandwich was just a bagel, cheese, and bacon. They didn't have any sauces to add to it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. They clearly know the regular customers and they stayed busy. My friend and I aren't familiar with Van Wert and the staff was happy to recommend local businesses for us to visit while he hung out. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was busy, but there's ample seating so it was fine. It was cute inside and the enjoyed the exposed brick walls.

In Florida, you normally can get 3 for $9 or 4 for $11 on packs of soda but not in this store. Also it could also have a larger chocolate section... I mean chocolate always makes me feel better?
