I told her it was our first time visiting and asked if they had any specialty drinks, and that I liked espresso and not so sweet drinks. She recommended a brown sugar, toasted marshmallow shaken oat milk latte, but not too sweet. I immediately said "yes ma'am". The drink was absolutely delicious from the first sip of foam to the last sip! The blueberry pie bar was also to die for! Sweet & crumbly, perfectly paired with the dirty chai latte my boyfriend got! He loved it too.

We decided to get the "peanut butter Lovers parfait" but with banana ice cream. Let me tell you. If you're a fan at all of banana with chocolate or peanut butter then this is going to satisfy every bit of your taste buds. This was absolutely delicious! Definitely my favorite thing to order at Willy's. Of course Willy's is still without a doubt the best ice cream you can get in town or anywhere close. The service is always great. They go above and beyond with their hospitality. So go on and get you some.

Overall I'd recommend this local staple.

Upon entering, you're warmly welcomed by the staff and local goods. We wanted a filling breakfast before a hike and some morning coffee. I got a mocha and my partner got a drip coffee. I also built my own breakfast sandwich and ordered the sourdough, American cheese, sausage, and egg. My partner ordered the same but with an added tomato. He joked about not having it in the coffee, but in the sandwich. The staff riffed along. We didn't wait too long for our orders and enjoyed our drinks and food in a room filled with yummy natural lighting. While I didn't enjoy my iced mocha as much as I would've like to, I loved my sandwich. The mocha was a little more syrupy thank I would've liked. My partner's coffee was good though. And my breakfast sandwich really hit the spot to help me feel full before our hike. When his sandwich came out we realized the tomato was missing. He went to ask and the barista made a very cute joke about it being in the coffee before giving him a plate of tomato to make up for it. I loved that. I highly recommend visiting Maybelle's on Main for yummy food, coffee, and great service.

I got something called: "Big Mama's Brownie Supreme", and while I'm still wondering if that's an inside joke or a slang term for something I don't want to know about, I soldiered on and ordered that thing! It was basically a bunch of cosmic brownies cut up into little chunks, with some vanilla soft-serve, some whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a cherry. I enjoyed it a lot. It was nice on a warm day. I usually like to have some water with my ice cream or fro-yo, so I ordered a couple of them and got two different brands. Strange. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't OVERLY impressed either. Overall, I feel that this is a decent stop for a cold treat.

Great as a gift, and one cookie really is enough for yourself. But don't let me tell you what to do. Enjoy!
