Ate at the bar at the Murphysboro location tonight. The place is nice and the food was alright, but…read moreit was so bright in there you almost needed sunglasses. For 7:30 pm on a Friday, that's not what I expected and I'd think not what most people in there would prefer. It's too bad, because the vibe could be perfect for a date night meal.

Very pleased with my lunch. I told the man that seated me I knew what I wanted, he said the…read morewaitress will be right out. He came back a minute later and took my order which included coffee he would make. The waitress came over shortly to check on me saying the coffee was almost done. Great coffee. I had shrimp tacos. Good tacos. Good salsa. The service was outstanding imo. Waitress was outstanding, she was alone and the dining room filled up quickly after I got there. I was in and out in 40 minutes, eating leisurely. There was a sign saying hiring wait and kitchen staff. I wish it wasn't lunch so I could have tried their beer.

So rich and good. For added awesomeness I had it put into a waffle cone. The place is cute. It looks like a retro ice cream parlor complete with 70's/80's jukebox. Everyone in my family enjoyed their ice cream treats from here!

They have either 32 or 36 flavors. I can't remember which the gentlemen said. The owner is an…read moreamazing man. Treats strangers like family. Give this man your kindness. Now, the ice cream... So so so good. They have the blue play dough ice cream I remember from my child hood, two different cherry ice creams (I liked the tart one best), the pistachio almond is to die for, butter pecan is amazing, black Walnut is the best I've ever had, a very chocolatey one was good (the owners fav), sooo many good flavors. Stop by and see this one of a kind place. Adorable! And great tasting ice cream.

But the flavor of the coffee definitely did not complement the flavor of the foam. Honestly, it was a pretty jarring mismatch. In terms of service, there was quite a bit of traffic in the drive-thru. They did their best to expedite it, but I still waited 10 minutes. Overall, I'd give 7 Brew another chance. But I would order something different.

The place is spotless, not a mark or speck of dust anywhere. Best white mocha I've ever had.read more

Their coffee of the week was White Chocolate Irish Cream, and I could not resist that! It came out hot, but not so hot that I could not drink it, and it was just the right sweetness. Their "little somethings" were a variety of muffins, scones, and cinnamon rolls. Maybe something else, but I stopped his recitation over the phone after he said "cinnamon rolls". Another winner, but next time I will take up their offer of heating it up. At the time I wasn't sure I was going to eat it right away, but I do love some drippy icing! They are still take-out only, and you can either call in your order, which I did, or you can appear outside their door and they will come out to take your order. I was very happy that the young lady who came out with my goodies was wearing a mask! Service was quick, and what I had was good, so give them a try if you're in the area!
