Seriously - it will be well worth your travel time to check out this gold mine of a local java joint! This cozy little establishment sits in what used to be a gas station that locals say dates back to the 1930s. It's tucked into a quiet rural town, and from the outside you might not immediately guess there's a terrific little coffee stop waiting inside. We stopped specifically to try the coffee shop portion, Willow Bay Coffee. I was just hoping for some decent espresso and maybe a simple munchie to hold me over until an actual meal down the road aways. What I got instead was one of those "You have got to be kidding me" moments. The espresso drinks were excellent. I chose for just a basic Americano, which was definitely HOT and everything I had hoped for in a joe. However, the real surprise was the food. Sounding too good to pass up, I decided to order the Asiago Bagel with Ham & Swiss. It's was a $7 sandwich with a $15 taste. No exaggeration -- the ham was so flavorful I'd honestly compare it to Nueske's. They source locally and let me tell you - this is top tier tasting meat & cheese! This is nothing like what I was expecting from such a humble little shop - and it certainly surpasses anything I have had at even high-end coffee houses and most restraunts I have been to. SCORE!!! My wife decided to follow suit and ordered the sister menu item: their Turkey & Cheddar on gluten-free bread (she has Celiac disease). She reported the same "what the heck?!" taste reaction. DOUBLE-PLAY!!! As an aftermove, I ended up eventually leaving with a couple of muffins from the bakery plate for later: a Banana Walnut and Lemon Poppy Seed. I didn't actually eat any until later that night at home for supper. WA!!! No disapointment here, and they tasted just as good as they smelled earlier. GAME-SET-MATCH!!! While this isn't a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, Raquel ("Ray-Chel") clearly understands the medical issues with Celiac and will take all reasonable precautions she can if you ask. As always: Polite and understanding self-advocacy will always give you the best shots at polite, understanding and effective precautions from your business hosts. And speaking of Raquel -- she's the kind of host every small-town (and heck - ANY) café hopes to have: consumately professional, fabulously welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable to chat with. She is just down to earth Good People! Places like this are why I enjoy looking for local establishments when traveling, and am willing to wander off the main drags once in a while. You never know when you'll stumble onto a hidden gem. In this case, we hit the mine! Seriously - this place will be well worth your drive! If you stop in, tell her that, "show-and-tell husband" in the black cowboy hat sent you!

They are coffee in the morning/all day and then switch to a cocktail bar at night, with some fun seasonal specialties for both. I'm happy to say many of the friendly staff are still the same from Ceili and the coffee drinks seem to be the same recipes and brand of coffee. Their pumpkin spice latte is still the best I've had! Not overly sweet and more of a roasty spice. They still get donuts from Fostals delivered every morning and have been starting to add more breakfast sandwich options and have homemade waffles on the weekends. I can't wait to see how this shop continues to grow.

It just seems like it would be more natural to me to walk in at the ramp and order then continue walking into the store to pick up your drinks. Today I watched about seven people lined up on that ramp waiting to order before was mentioned that they have to go through the crowd of people waiting for their drinks to the other side to get in line to order their drinks. I just think it would cause a lot less confusion and maybe frustration of customers if you were to flip those two areas

There were a couple of cars ahead of us and it took a bit of time for their orders. We each ordered a cappuccino, Mr. R went for the double shot because he thought the coffee might not be very flavorful. The girl who took our order asked if we'd like a treat for our dog, which I'm sure she appreciated since she's a ham for drive-thru staff, always working to be noticed. My cappuccino was very good, but Mr. R ended up regretting adding the extra shot to his. It ended up making the drink too bitter for his liking. The coffee shed is small, and looking at the pictures of the inside I have no idea if it's slightly roomy or if the photo was just taken at an angle that makes it appear that way, but it looks nice.
