Husband ordered a featured cinnamon eggnog drink, I ordered an iced caramel macchiato. Staff was overheard debating how to make husband's drink, unsure if the recipe used cinnamon despite cinnamon being in the name. The drink did not turn out well but we didn't feel comfortable asking for it to be remade after they weren't sure how to make it anyways. Caramel Macchiato was okay, I'd probably not order it again but nothing noteworthy about it. It's a very cozy lounge with couches and tables to wait for your drink or sit and enjoy. Convenient walk from the chocolate factory, so definitely pick up a treat or 2 to pair with your coffee

During my road trip to Chicago, we decided to stop in Galena for lunch on our way and I chose Big…read moreBill's and our group all enjoyed our experience here. This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

Checked out this coffee bar and sandwich shop in Galena. It has an old school charm to it and the…read morefood is actually healthy. Big Bill's is also open at breakfast. Got to say the lunch menu has more options. The prices are pretty okay for portions. Best place to get a sandwich or wrap around. It's a charming old place with plenty of seating. They have breakfast and lunch with lots of variety. Among the morning options are omelettes. The lunch menu features sandwiches. Has the classics and more. It's about $9 for the Hummus Wrap. A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

They make fresh fried mini donuts. They make a huge variety of flavored syrups. I think I saw a display of CBD oils? I'm just sayin'. Everything but the kitchen sink in here. We came in for a coffee. While they do have a small seating area, I would say it's more of a grab and go situation. Our lattes were good (a little over-steamed, but solid). The service was friendly and efficient and they prices were about what you'd expect. A-ok!

The first day we walked into the store we met 6 new-old friends and we swapped stories for over 20 min. Coffee was fresh and the surroundings told of long days roasting coffee amongst friends. My guess is Bill, the owner, roasts everyday not to get rich but to make friends. The coffee is strong and the laughs are genuine. This is the true Galena experience. It's not the hippest coffee joint but it is the most interesting and friendly. We bought a pound of fresh roasted Indonesian beans for $10. I would have paid double anywhere else. Bill is the real deal.

My fiancé and I were looking for something Hispanic or Asian for lunch and opted for la michoacana. The proteins in both of our dishes were dry and tasted like it was cooked about a week ago. The rice was bland, looked and tasted old. The service was fine, we were in and out within 35 mins. It was pretty empty while we were there and it was prime lunch time. We saw 1 other group come in for what we thought was for ice cream but then they left without purchasing anything.

I shared a mangonada with the hubs and also shared the shrimp fajitas. Many shrimps and good size for $22. I did ask for extra tortillas and asked how much would it be and she said she didn't know. But stood there. So I asked...if you can please find out if you don't know? That would surely help. Then she went to ask the price for me. She was probably 13 years old helping the family out. And another little boy was there bussing. I felt like the creepy adult being served by child labor so that made me feel kinda bad. It was also strange to have ice cream on one side of the restaurant and then table next to it for lunch. Would my food gets cold? The little girl also made a mistake and undercharged me for the shrimp fajitas that was $5 less and also didn't charge me for the tortillas while being busy on the phone. What did I do? I had to tell her about it because again, I felt bad!!!! My son ordered the kids meal grilled cheese with fries and it was just ok. Unfortunately it was not as good as the La Michoacana in my hometown. There are many restaurants in Galena and I actually felt like I made a mistake with this one 3 stars for the mangonada and shrimp fajitas was actually decent.
