You can get a massage or get your hair and lashes done in the same building, while your husband waits for you and drinks coffee and talks with friends.

My 7-year-old daughter loved it. (She called the empanadas "mini hamburgers that are so delicious you don't even need ketchup"). The servers were kind and the decor is adorable--clean, colorful, fun. Wanted to make sure I wrote a review, because the ones I read before coming don't do this place justice. It's fabulous.

I'm a brewed coffee drinker, so I cannot comment on the more sassy coffee beverages, but the brewed is fine. Bring in your own cup (make sure it's a 20 ouncer!) and get a coffee and a refill for a flat $2. They have the local Dubuque paper (pretty much a waste of paper, if you ask me) and the Chicago Tribune. Free internet for those who actually pay for coffee. Get a punch card; but 10 get one free. Great place to read, write, grade, chat with friends. Love it.

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.

Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso: Verena Street Coffee was founded in late 2010 and provides their…read morecoffee to 800+ stores in the Midwest. They roast, blend, and package their coffee in Dubuque, Iowa. Their name derives from a street in Iowa that contained only five houses comprised of the founder's family. In the early 2000s the street was annihilated to make room for highway expansion, but the name lives on in the coffee. For my first review from their brand, I went with a whole bean bag of their Shot Tower Espresso blend. The company describes that blend as having a " smooth yet sharp character with no bitterness. The delicately dark roast level results in a taste and aroma that is full-bodied with a sweet and creamy complexity." Beans for their signature espresso blend are selected from Central America, South America and Indonesia in order for a unique and nuanced flavor profile. I found this particular roast to not only be delicious, but one of my new favorites. I'll be on the lookout for more of their blends at my local grocer. Doughboy approved Doughboy _Food_Reviews *I brew my coffee using 8oz of water to 2 Tbsp of grounds, adding 1 packet of Splenda and 1.5oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk

5/5 stares for my online ordering experience and customer service…read more I placed an order on Cyber Monday, figuring I would take advantage of the 40% off on ground coffees. Picked out what I wanted and ordered online...only to find out that my in-laws don't really use ground coffee, but single-serve instead. Agh! Once I found out this very-important-information, it was an 1.5 hours after placing my order. I emailed customer services asking about how I could change my order from ground coffee to single-serve. Eric immediately wrote me back and explained that it would be easier to cancel my order, then I could reorder what I did want, as they use a 3rd party credit card processor. I was instantly refund the $ I spent on my original order, so I turned around and bought the single-serve coffee instead. Less than 48 hours after placing my online order my in-laws received their coffee in the Chicago suburbs - super fast delivery. They were thrilled, and I can't say enough good things about Verena Street's products and their customer service. Would love to see them expand their single-serve coffee flavors in the future. The ability to choose a shipping date (especially for the holiday season) would be a nice option, too. Highly recommend.
