A steady stream of customers were picking up their rolls. We came for donuts. The selection was limited, but it was late in the morning. The cake donuts filled with custard caught my eye. They were topped with chocolate glaze. They melted in my mouth. The custard was so creamy. The bakery is locally owned and operated and wins awards for best donuts. But you've got to get in there early for the favorite glazed yeast donuts. There is plenty of parking in the lot. No seating inside, but there are a couple tables outside.

I expected themed drinks but wow, did they go all out with the decorations and little surprises. They had games like a Horcrux Hunt going on, little wands you could use to turn on and off lights, a super fun photo opportunity area, and people in full costume to greet you! The outdoor movie area had some tables and hay bales. Many brought their own chairs. The screen was a bit small and I wish the parking lot lights had been turned off however, probably not possible and none of that really relates to the coffee shop lol. They pulled off a really lovely event that left me with some great memories and a chance to dive back into childhood nostalgia. Also, those macarons were SO good and my friend loved the themed hot chocolate she got. I know that they do other events from time to time. Hats off to the event planner! As an aside, the space here is absolutely lovely and I hope to come back again soon on my remote work day.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at Hattie's Coffee Shop. I waited about 35 minutes for a…read moresingle coffee while watching multiple customers who arrived after me get served and leave within 10-15 minutes. I was the only Black customer in the shop at the time, and the pattern of being repeatedly passed over while others were helped first did not feel random. When I asked about my order, I was told they were "busy," but that didn't match what I was seeing--people were consistently being served ahead of me. Being ignored for that long while others moved through quickly made me feel unwelcome and singled out. Whether intentional or not, the way this was handled came across as discriminatory and needs to be addressed. I hope management takes this seriously, looks into what happened, and ensures that all customers are treated fairly and respectfully.

Luckily, the line moved quickly and Emily kept things running smoothly. Emily helped me during my visit and she was incredibly kind and welcoming.

Since I can't get my sugar cream pie from Locally Grown Gardens anymore, this has become my go to spot when I'm craving a slice. The shop itself is cozy and clean, with a couple of tables inside if you want to sit and enjoy your pie right away. They have an outdoor seating area that would be perfect for enjoying a slice on a nice summer day. They also have merch available for purchase. If you're a pie lover, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

She was welcoming today and offered us coffee samples of a locally roasted low acid specialty coffee called Silk Coffee that she is featuring. The coffee is smooth and good. The shop is small and cozy, like grandmother's kitchen. There is one table that sits beneath a crystal chandelier. There is a glass case filled with beautiful assorted cupcakes and muffins. There are lovely cookies wrapped in cellophane on the counter. All the pastries are baked right there in the kitchen. Cheri tells us that the blueberry muffins are the top seller, so I buy one. She warms the muffin. The muffins is soft and delicious. I love this place. The shop is only open Wednesday - Friday. On Thursday, she offers a cup of free coffee with a purchase. She calls Friday "Fun Friday" with the opportunity to spin the wheel for a discount. There is a boutique on the south side of the cafe. You can enter the cafe through the boutique or through a door on the east side of the building. There are a couple parking spots in front. This is a wonderful local shop and worth the visit.

There's a few tables on the inside but also a drive thru option. I've had mainly only the donuts, I really like the Bismarcks with all the different cream fillings you can choose from. A close second choice is a Pershing donut, with a maple frosting. You do have to get at least 7 donuts if you want a box, which it would be nice if you could order fewer donuts to be able to get a smaller box. A stop at Titus donuts is essential for the city folk who are making a road trip to Chicago!

It's just a stone's throw from the farmers market and all of the great shops along Main Street. It's tucked away so you have to follow the map to make sure you don't miss it. They offer a variety of sourdough flavors, including traditional, lemon blueberry, and cinnamon to name a few. I appreciate that they had a few samples on hand to help make your selection. The bread can be a little salty at $14 for a loaf, but I can attest that it's quite delicious and beautifully packaged.

We'd heard great things about Rosie's, so we were excited to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience just didn't live up to the hype. Our food came out less than five minutes after ordering, which in a packed restaurant immediately made us wonder how fresh it really was. After tasting it, it was pretty clear much of it had been prepared well beforehand. I even asked for my potatoes to be crispy, and the response was simply, "We can't do that," which was surprising for such a popular breakfast spot. On top of that, almost everything lacked seasoning and fell pretty flat flavor wise. We barely touched our meals and didn't even want to take the leftovers home, which is rare for us. To be fair, this is just our personal experience, and it's obvious a lot of people genuinely enjoy Rosie's. We're not trying to be overly critical over one visit. But based on the meal and service we received, it's not a place we'd personally recommend.
