Everyone seemed friendly and majority of the food came out fast. Accidentally forgot pancake but quickly got it fixed and we're very apologetic with quick remedy for the situation.

Can't wait for the next time to go back down memory lane with classic local cooking!

From the owner: We are a mom and pop coffee shop. Pop, Mark, decided to branch out from working his computer…read morebusiness out of our home to buying a building in our small downtown location for his computer company, Gotcha Computers. The building we found for sale was the old antique Dime Store dated back to the early 1900s. This building has original floors that Mark had sanded and brought back to life with stain and varnish. The ceilings have been refreshed with paint and the upstairs has 4 apartments that have been remodeled, yet kept with an antique look. In addition to the 2,000 sq feet of space upstairs, there is also 2,000 sq feet on the first floor where his computer business would be. “That’s too much space to just have computers; we need a coffee shop in town, so let’s have half the space for a coffee shop,” said Mom (Kim). As a middle school teacher in this town, Mrs. Henderson knew there was a place needed in the community where kids and elderly people could gather, play games, and socialize. The only unfortunate event is that this place does not have a drive-thru. However, you will enjoy the nostalgic feeling as you walk into the place, and choose a cozy spot to sit, whether it be in a window seat, on a recliner, or at a round or square, short or tall table. And the coffee is bought from a local roasting coffee shop, Black Rabbit, in Hillsboro, IL. We cannot forget to mention the tasty donuts that are purchased by our famous local bakery, B&K Bakery, in Mt Olive, IL.

The drinks were made pretty fast. They are bit too sweet for me as I do enjoy the bold flavour of the coffee more than flavour shots/syrups. I did enjoy this visit in particular because of how warm and welcoming the staff was. They were very kind to explain to us the flavour profiles of their drinks, and they even suggested certain areas of the shop for me to take pictures of. Overall, I would come back to try their other drinks and hopefully they can make it less sweet for me.

Highly recommended! 2) The tea options are limited but all delicious. You get to choose your mug size at the same price. 3) I tried the strawberry matcha drink. The servers made it fresh on the spot.
