We had one family giving us great advice as to kid-friendly drinks on the menu, which sounded more like desserts. Both my kids just wanted plain diet soda. I kind of wished one of them had been the mood for the home-made root beer or cream soda with whipped cream. Sounded amazing. Of course, we were there for the flight. This place included all eight of their beers in the flight! And it was really well-priced. We really didn't want to drink that much but decided to splurge. I do like trying different beers, and it was a lot of fun to try eight from one place. Most of the beers weren't outstanding or too memorable, but they were all well-crafted. We really liked the stout. Definitely well worth more than one visit, but we were only in town overnight.

There was a little room with plants and I like that they have such eclectic items and it is such a large spot to wander through. There is a nice cafe that serves good food and coffee and it was a fun experience to wander through as I was waiting. As another reviewer mentioned, a bit high for some prices but some were reasonable. The children's books were $5 and we got some great hardcovers for that price, but also got some more beat up and smaller books for the same price. I recommend the trip in!

The Co-op serves lunch Tuesday through Thursday, with some days devoted to gluten-free foods (e.g.,…read moreCajun red beans and rice and curry dishes), some to Italian, and others to Mexican and Asian. My favorite dishes are chilled gazpacho (in the summer), their yummy quiche, and their great Asian soup). If you're not free to lunch there or need provisions for a picnic, they have to-go containers and prepackaged slices of quiche, soup, sandwiches, etc. in the cooler at the back of the store. The Co-op produces bakery goods daily, and I especially like their olive bread. I also visit the Co-op to purchase many difficult to find items, such as specialty cheeses (e.g., fresh mozzarella, Jarlsberg Swiss, aged Irish cheddar, etc.) and imported olives. Seating is limited. There are three tables in the front of the store near the self-serve food service area, and another at the back of the store. Figuring out how the self-service works can take a moment, but the folks that work there are friendly and willing to explain the process. One warning: they don't tag their pastries to show the date they are baked, so ask before purchasing to make sure what you're buying is fresh.

We've been coming here for four years to visit family and never realized this place existed. After growing frustrated with the other coffee shop on the main drag, we searched for nearby options and were relieved to find this one open. Overall, Voltage Coffee House was a much better experience. You could actually taste the coffee in the drinks, which was a nice change. The gal who took our order was friendly and greeted us with a smile, which added a welcoming touch. The two baristas preparing the drinks seemed a bit disoriented and unsure with some of the orders, so I was pleasantly surprised when the drinks came out just right. The ambiance of the café felt a little scattered--it didn't seem like there was a consistent theme--but the space definitely has good bones and the potential to be something special. One small thing I appreciated was that they don't put the lids or straws on your drinks for you. It's a simple but thoughtful touch that I personally prefer. We'll definitely be back.

The interior is not classy or "upscale," but it is clean, comfortable and welcoming. It's a seat-yourself kind of place, so it was a moment before we were handed menus and asked for drink orders. Then it was a rather lengthy wait before our orders were taken. However, it didn't take that long for the food to arrive and, I will say this, it was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Crispy Dill Chicken Sandwich with tater tots. It arrived piping hot and oh-so-good. The fried chicken sandwich was indeed crispy, VERY flavorful with three crisp pickle slices in there. The chicken itself tasted like it was brined in pickle juice as well. If you like pickles, you'll love this sandwich. It was excellent! The tater tots .... well, how can you screw that up?? They were hot, tasty and plentiful. Now, while initially a little slow, the service is friendly and attentive. My iced tea was refilled without even getting halfway down. Prices were reasonable. We look forward to stopping again when we pass through Republic (and skip the local hustle).
