Blondie and I were looking for a break midway through our cross country road trip, and Carthage was a great place to stop.

A quaint old store front building on the town square that offers a perfect view of what I consider the most beautiful courthouse in Missouri and one of the best in America - worthy of a side trip in-itself. My cortado was smooth and my wife's cup of drip was robust. plenty of seating options and things to look at while you enjoy a traveling break. Get off the highway and support the locals keeping Americana alive and well for the future.

We stopped in Carthage on our way back to St Louis from Tulsa. We were looking for a coffee house…read moreand the nearest one didn't open until 8:30 am. WHAT? So we tried Maple Leaf. Really enjoyed it. The young woman who took our order suggested the Maple Leaf latte (normally I get vanilla). It was SO delish. I ordered a sausage egg breakfast sandwich (she suggested a side of maple syrup for dipping). YUM. My boyfriend had hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll. Everything was tasty. Highly recommend.

We drove 40 miles to see this place, hearing how it was so amazing. It was just a life size scale…read moreof how country buildings looked in the 50's. The thing is the outsides look great, but most the insides of the buildings are full of crap, and scraps... When we went "on a Friday at 2pm" everything was closed, even the little dinner "not sure it's even functional." Basically you are just here to see a full-scale display of country living from the past in the Midwest. Nothing special for people who grew up living around these kinds of buildings. And even worse is there's really nothing to do, but, or see besides the outside of old buildings.

The location while it was in joplin was located in a repurposed building and made into a tea house as well. They serve a daily selection of sweet pies and other baked goods. I've also tried their quiche which was light but very flavorful. If you're hosting at home you can also pre order or buy some of their take and bakes. The quality is just as good. I believe on social media they're moving to Carthage and I know for a fact I'll be following them there for more of their incredible pot pies.

I flat told him to lose the attitude or I'd go elsewhere I didn't bother with speaking to the shift manager. She too had same look.
