Great coffee for those needing a Latte fix in Ottumwa…read more I had a coffee from The Vine recently while in Ottumwa for work. I have to admit to being a Starbucks junkie normally. I like knowing not only that I will get the same drink every time I order, no matter where I go in the country, but also that I have a place to go to get away from it all and come out smelling divinely like coffee. The Vine prepared a Pumpkin Spice Latte that rivals those I've gotten from the 'bucks. I found myself falling into the cozy warmth of fall with my first sip, kind of like that sensation of flopping back into a leaf pile when I was a kid and fall was at its peak. Find your cozy at The Vine the next time you're in Ottumwa!

The first time I got a iced caramel macchiato and I thought it wasn't good because the girl seemed to be a new and was still training so I thought that was why.

I'm just upset because I'm paying for coffees that I don't end up drinking because they are bad. Maybe the employees need to have a little more training.

1 star because zero isn't an option…read more I didn't know Jade Palace was running a social experiment on how little food you can serve for $34 before someone calls the health department, but here we are. First off, I've been to plenty of Chinese spots in my life, and even the hole-in-the-wall places will heap you up like they're trying to feed a football team. Not here. These folks handed me what can only be described as a pup cup of rice. Like literally, I could've ordered a Starbucks dog treat and come out with more carbs. Then came the "egg rolls." Spoiler: they weren't egg rolls. They were limp, barely warmed-up spring rolls stuffed with sadness. Two of them. I ordered egg rolls and ended up with appetizers straight out of a gas station freezer section. Uncooked on the inside too--crunchy outside, still questioning life on the inside. Beautiful. Now let's talk about the chicken and broccoli. Usually this dish comes swimming in sauce--like the kind you actually want to drown your rice in. Instead, I got a dry broccoli funeral with a few strips of chicken sprinkled on top. No juice. No flavor. Just vibes. Honestly, if my Tupperware lid had more moisture from condensation than my meal, something went terribly wrong in the kitchen. $34 for this? Jade Palace, y'all should be arrested for armed robbery with chopsticks. At this point, I'm convinced the chef just saw me walk in and thought, "Let's see how far we can push this guy before he calls the health department." Well congratulations, I'm one step away from dialing. If you're into overpriced rabbit portions, mystery eggroll-spring-roll hybrids, and flavorless broccoli fitness bowls, Jade Palace is the spot for you. If you actually like Chinese food? Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else--even Panda Express would be fine dining compared to this nonsense.

Having a bad day walking so I thought a quick in and out trip to Aldi would work. We need a larger Aldi store And maybe a restock mid afternoon added for management. They can do this by the before open item checks and sales check count for low stock. They need a pen computerized system to red light when things are running low to trigger a quick restock event and or another small truck from local distribution warehouses for Aldi And show if an item is low stock in the Aldi app for the location we are at! Save time and money for sure!

I had to do a double, triple take- they had about five different beers available. None of them were cold. None of them were the major brewers. I consider myself a relatively worldly beer drinker, and I'd never heard of any of their four or five warm beers they were selling. Am I missing something? Other than that, they had a strange layout with lots of small sizes on their options. It seems like a place to go for your lunch break instead of shopping for your American sized family. There is no liquor store attached to this grocery, unlike the competition across the street...
