For the longest time, my team would go to McDonald's or Casey's for a cup of coffee. When we…read morelearned about Tea and Grounds, it was an absolute game changer. This local tea and coffee shop is light years ahead of the drinks on offer at other places in town, and I find myself grabbing a drink whenever I'm in for business. The interior is very warm and inviting with plenty of space to mingle or do work. The employees there are always helpful and can make recommendations on their favorites. They also sell local artisanal gifts. It's also a very communal location, they host a pop up take out lunch spot and is right next to the golf course. Tea and Grounds also wins the award for most unique drive thru. I'm not a coffee drinker, but everyone that drinks Tea and Grounds' coffee loves it. For me, a good London Fog or pumpkin spice latte (without the coffee) does the spot. The tea doesn't taste like the boring generic flavored tea, it is fantastic. Don't settle for the muddled down coffee, get the real deal at Tea and Grounds!

Definitely worth a stop.

I was initially drawn to this spot by the big knight in shining armor that I saw on Yelp (I'm a big…read morechess fan) and then pleasantly surprised at how cool this place is. The decor really makes this spot, with lots of fun themed signs throughout the restaurant. This definitely gives it a different and more fun vibe than the average coffee house and the upstairs loft is cozy to hangout in as well. The coffee flavors and preparation are quite good here -- flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. I also enjoyed the mini scones, with a nice texture that was soft but a little more firm than a muffin. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Pontiac. Great vibe and delicious food.

Absolutely LOVE Main Street Cookies & Cream. The ice cream is great, there's always at least one…read morenon-dairy flavor, and the teas and lemonades are ahhhh-mazing.

I came in looking for dairy free options and was so happy to find out they make their oatmeal with no dairy at all. I ordered it with raisins and brown sugar on the side, and it was simple, warm, and exactly what I wanted. If you do want milk, they'll bring it on the side. I also ordered the grilled peach salad, and wow. Perfectly grilled, sweet, and such a standout. The dressing seemed to contain dairy, but the team was very helpful in guiding me and making sure I had what I needed. It quickly became one of my favorite salads I've had in a long time. My husband sampled some of their pastries and said they were delicious. They also had a massive cinnamon roll on the counter, probably close to ten inches wide. I didn't get it this time, but if you're a cinnamon roll person, this is absolutely the place to indulge. They have regular sized ones too if you're not ready to commit to the giant version. The server was so kind, and I think the manager spoke with us as well. She was just as friendly. I also really liked the decor, which gave the place a comfortable, welcoming vibe. And small detail, but appreciated: they have a baby changing table in the bathroom, which I know is a lifesaver for a lot of families.

I came here for breakfast, as I heard rumors about 1 lb. cinnamon rolls. I can confirm that the…read morerumors are true, and I suspect that Lost in Time offers one of the better breakfasts around small-town Central Illinois. What you can expect: -meals served on antique china -homemade breakfasts and lunches -grab and go meals and sweets, including cinnamon rolls big and small -friendly servers My dining companion was a big fan of her omelet and home fries, especially the not-so-overwhelming portion size. I enjoyed my cinnamon roll and hash browns. My small critique is that the cinnamon rolls aren't served warm. I asked my server to heat mine up, and while she did, it really didn't impact the roll--only some frosting. If I was to return, I would order one to go and reheat it at home...and would I return? Yes, and I already know I want to try to baked oatmeal.
