This was the only place that came up for coffee in Dixon, nearest Starbucks is an hour away so I…read morethought I'd give it a try, crossing my fingers that they have espresso and not just some lukewarm coffee in the corner for the book customers. They definitely make an outstanding Americano and for only a 1.50! While I was at the counter I overheard the locals talking about planting trees and high school sports. The shop owner asked me if I was from around here and when I said I was from Oklahoma, he told me about his trip down Route 66. Eventually, I told him I was a poet doing shows in the area and he got on the computer right then and ordered my books for the store! I snagged a book while I was there and left with my morning dose of small town charm. FYI, Dixon is Ronald Reagon's hometown + has a really pretty arch going into downtown. Definitely worth checking out this shop.

Great independent book store and cafe I luckily came across while passing through downtown Dixon…read more Friendly staff and a nice selection of books to go with the good coffee. Would happily stop in again.

Super cute place! GREAT VIBE!…read more If you fancy up your shop, you should know how to make a latte. They don't. Out-of-towners who like to make stops for local, good coffee, beware! Tried a signature latte, tasted burnt. Opened the cup, 2 inches of DRY FOAM. They tried to cover the burnt flavor with a ton of syrup, no luck. $6 wasted Funny, two of us got the same thing, the other rated like watery coffee with too much syrup.

This is a double review - I ate here Monday, and brought my wife here Tuesday…read more Monday - I had their Turkey BLT Sandwich, which was served hot off the grille - it was very very good - good flavor, good texture of the bread, just GOOD. I also grabbed a package of their cookie dough which was tasty. Day 2: I had their Chicken Chipotle Melt, which was again hot and tasty. The chipotle was just enough to let you know it was there, without searing your eyebrows off. My wife went for their New York-Style Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, along with a Latte. She said her sandwich was very good - it was so hot when we sat down she had to wait a minute. She really enjoyed her Latte as well. And more cookie dough. Go figure. We really like this place. The service is the right speed to provide quality products, and the place has a really nice look to it, which makes it easy on the eyes. Tables upstairs and downstairs, parking to the west if the front lot is full. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing a gem

Sit back and enjoy an amazing extravaganza which others wish they could experience in their lifetime. My husband's breakfast was delicious with farm fresh eggs and fluffy pancakes. My breaded pork tenderloin lived up to my expectations and more. I ordered the deluxe meal which included a homemade bowl of tomato macaroni soup. Extra bonus**** homemade rolls and banana bread Don't forget the homemade pies so delicious Make it point to stop here and get a wonderful meal in a great town.

UPDATE: July 4th, 2025…read more I've been coming back to this place 4-5 days a week SINCE my last review. The service has improved DRASTICALLY. My review was never about speed/wait times, or anything about product or store. It was ONLY on how insanely long it took SOME of the staff to acknowledge that a customer is in the store. Not because I need special attention, but because as someone in the industry for almost two decades, I was just dumbfounded by the lack of personal care. However, since then, they've all seemed to REALLY up there game. They're especially nice and attentive to me. I can't tell if its because I'm "that guy" who wrote the review... Or because they truly care and have actually focused on improving customer service across the board. Either way, the staff is very friendly, the drinks and food are AMAZING, ambiance is second to none in town, and I would recommend this place and service 11/10 times.

My husband had come to this location once, when it was Galena Steak House. At that time I would…read morehave given 5 stars. We decided to check it out since becoming Mom's, and I was a bit disappointed. The service was really nice and serving sizes, generous but my food was room temperature and bland. I had the biscuits and gravy, bacon, and hash browns. My husband's food was hot and he said taste good. His fries and sandwich were fresh and hot. I know because I tasted a steaming hot fry. He tasted mine and agreed my food was not even warm. My bacon actually had that greasy film it gets when it sits and gets cold. I didn't say anything because I have never sent food back and wouldn't feel comfortable doing so.

I was underdressed for the air conditioning, so our server found a sweater for me to use while there. This is the same place that covered my daughter's tab when she was stranded there with her 3 year old, due to her broken down car. When she went to pay, they said it was on them. Good people and food.
