I was in Frostproof for the 30 Mile Scenic Highway Yard Sale, In search of a boost of caffeine I…read morestumbled on Mister Chris' Coffee Gallery which is located in the historic Atlantic Coast Line Train Depot in downtown Frostproof. The railroad came to town in 1911 and the station was built in 1912. The railroad helped to transport citrus from farmers all across the Lake Wales Ridge. To care for this restored landmark Mister Chris roasts coffee from around the world and ships it across the Continental United States. Today the depot is in the two acre Freedom Station Park. The park is a venue that can be rented and it also stages events such as Wall Street Market in Freedom Station Park and the "Mister Chris' Community Campfire series. This unique coffee shop combines history, music, art, and coffee, all the things I love. As you sip your coffee there are six rooms to explore: Hall of History, the Brew Ha Ha, the Study, the Paris Cafe, the Music Room and the Workshop which is the brew bar, gift shop and entertainment area. The workshop is located in what was once the depot cargo area. Chris has a collection of teapots, Beatles memorabilia, train stuff related to the depot, antique furniture, albums, collectibles, art, and on and on. I put my coffee down in a table and was startled to see a fish swimming under it. I didn't realize it was a fish tank table. There are surprises around every corner. Mr. Chris is a trusting soul. Coming from South Florida I couldn't believe he leaves all of his things out for people to look through and enjoy. This is such a wonderful business. I would come here every day if I could.

The moment you get out of the car, you can smell the Smokey goodness. When we walked in, we were greeted by the ever so kind, Kayla. She was extremely helpful with menu suggestions and patient with my undeceive self haha. We decided on the 1/2 rack of ribs and the brisket. Tender is an understatement. The meat just literally fell off the bone and dissolved in your mouth. The Mac n cheese, absolutely incredible! Creamy and smooth, it truly was a star of the sides. We also enjoyed baked beans, green beans and the garlic and cornbread. To top it off, like we needed it (but truly who could resist), we tried the banana puddin'. Just magical. If I could give this spot 10 stars I would! You have to come visit!

Everything was delicious and I loved my bean salad too! Kids had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and they enjoyed them along with the chips it came with. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was nice as well. I saw a couple tables there enjoying books and it seems like a cute little place to read. I will definitely be back on our next visit.

Arriving- They are in a store front on Main Street. They actually rent from the almost 100-year-old Jacaranda Hotel that helps define my little town. Street Park out front or park behind the hotel and walk through. Handicapped Tip- The building was built when folks were less enlightened and there are a couple of nasty steps to enter but if you need help, there is a plan in place. Press the wireless doorbell and an employee will come out with a portable ramp and assist you. How cool is that! Ambience- This is a tiny place with a décor matching the vibe of a decades old historic building. Check out my pictures. Customer Service- My Barista was super friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and had a great smile. What more did I need! Products- Just what you would expect. Coffee and tea in all the hot & iced varieties you would expect. Also baked goods. I have posted a menu of their seasonal specialty drinks. I didn't do anything fancy and went with a large, iced latte. It cost me $5.15, was made nicely, tasted wonderful and really hit the spot! If, like me, you enjoy patronizing small local businesses, expect a five-star experience here!
