From the outside, it just looks like an older brick storefront on their main street, but once inside, it has such a cute eclectic coffee shop vibe that is putting out really good food in addition to coffee. There were a number of different nooks to enjoy coffee and conversation in private, a fairly large dining area, and a separate room that I imagine could be used for a large group or just spill over for the lunch service. I opted for their Panini that had ham, brie, and apple with a cup of tomato bisque. My colleague got the curried chicken salad on croissant (both our sandwiches were the half size!) with a cup of potato and carrot soup. A couple of the people we were with got their flatbread pizzas, which also sounded and looked delicious. If you find yourself in town and are looking for a pick me up or a delicious lunch, definitely check it out!

I love that they have Dutch imports, including the chocolate letters and other treats around Christmas. They have black licorice year-round. They are known for almond patties, which are flaky, buttery pockets filled with almond paste. You can buy these frozen to bake at home or fresh. They also have delicious cinnamon rolls and very pretty frosted cookies and cakes. I have fond memories of this bakery and am glad to see it's thriving and now even ships its baked goods!

Their bratwurst is one of the Top 100 Things To Eat In Iowa Before You Die. I've eaten plenty of those but we really go for the dried beef, mettwurst and caraway cheese. I've even been known to smuggle a package of frozen dried beef home in my suitcase! There's also all manner of Dutch products including Droste cocoa, Queen Wilhelmina mints, pea soup mix, Dutch chocolates in the shape of windmills and wooden shoes and other Dutch candies. If you stop by, you'll leave with an armful of goodies. If you don't stop by you'll miss one of the true treasures of Orange City.

A few days ago we were in Orange City visiting family. At first I didn't want to go in with my…read morewife to Woudstra's but later I was glad I did. They have a lot of nice meat products in their store as well as specialty edible Dutch items. We bought some smoked pork chops that looked and smelled wonderful. They had all kinds of bacon and great looking beef products that were very reasonably priced. They even ship. The woman at the counter - I'm so sorry I didn't ask her name - was very welcoming, pleasant, and informative. I'll go back again next time were in Orange City.

Great food and service with a very unique environment! It's a great small town place to visit!read more

I bought a pound of Lantern Coffee recently at the The Market Community Co-op in Spirit Lake. Gayle…read moreand I had pretty much depleted the Starbucks at the Lake Cabin and I wasn't willing to chance my caffeine craving at any of the local grocery stores. The small-batch Lantern Coffee was very nice. It was dark and rich and with a smooth aftertaste. Maybe next time I'll drive over to Sibley (home of the Generals) and try out their restaurant and coffee bar as well. And judging by the Facebook pictures, it looks live a very handsome and inviting place. They did a good job refurbishing this older building and it looks like a place that I would hang out frequently if I lived here.
