The homemade Thousand Island was on the side so I could add just the right amount. Sandwiches came with a side. Mine was perfectly creamy coleslaw. The Chicken Salad Salad was hand made pulled chicken salad on top of a bowl of mixed greens. It was large enough for two. Most salads and sandwiches were north of $10. That might seem pricey, but with Sara's being practically the only lunchtime spot for miles around of this tourist community we're fortunate they didn't charge more.

We discovered this quaint little coffee house during a recent family trip to Albion, Illinois…read moreresearching our ancestry. When we arrived, the young lady barista and pastry chef extraordinaire was in the back baking pastries. She served up the best Caffe Macchiato including the signature swirls. What an artist. Some locals showed up and we had the best conversation about Albion. Our ancestors all grew up in nearby Ellery in the 1800's so it was exciting to have coffee in the downtown area they likely traveled to albeit with horse and wagon. The coffee shop is housed in a beautifully restored home across from the town square. If your nearby, it's worth the drive.

They even have a smaller but roomy section solely designated for serving up delicious scoops of ice cream. The only disappointment is that while The Milk House statistically ranks as the #17 ice cream shop in the U.S., and the charm is absolutely there, the ice cream itself is pretty unimpressive. The quality of the product is good, but the ice cream flavoring itself leaves much to be desired. Don't let that stop you from coming in, though. It's a worthy experience just off the interstate for traveling families.

As soon as you get to where you're going, be sure to put them in an airtight container. It seems that they will only stay fresh for a few hours in the box.
