This was the only place that came up for coffee in Dixon, nearest Starbucks is an hour away so I…read morethought I'd give it a try, crossing my fingers that they have espresso and not just some lukewarm coffee in the corner for the book customers. They definitely make an outstanding Americano and for only a 1.50! While I was at the counter I overheard the locals talking about planting trees and high school sports. The shop owner asked me if I was from around here and when I said I was from Oklahoma, he told me about his trip down Route 66. Eventually, I told him I was a poet doing shows in the area and he got on the computer right then and ordered my books for the store! I snagged a book while I was there and left with my morning dose of small town charm. FYI, Dixon is Ronald Reagon's hometown + has a really pretty arch going into downtown. Definitely worth checking out this shop.

Great independent book store and cafe I luckily came across while passing through downtown Dixon…read more Friendly staff and a nice selection of books to go with the good coffee. Would happily stop in again.

Super cute place! GREAT VIBE!…read more If you fancy up your shop, you should know how to make a latte. They don't. Out-of-towners who like to make stops for local, good coffee, beware! Tried a signature latte, tasted burnt. Opened the cup, 2 inches of DRY FOAM. They tried to cover the burnt flavor with a ton of syrup, no luck. $6 wasted Funny, two of us got the same thing, the other rated like watery coffee with too much syrup.

This is a double review - I ate here Monday, and brought my wife here Tuesday…read more Monday - I had their Turkey BLT Sandwich, which was served hot off the grille - it was very very good - good flavor, good texture of the bread, just GOOD. I also grabbed a package of their cookie dough which was tasty. Day 2: I had their Chicken Chipotle Melt, which was again hot and tasty. The chipotle was just enough to let you know it was there, without searing your eyebrows off. My wife went for their New York-Style Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, along with a Latte. She said her sandwich was very good - it was so hot when we sat down she had to wait a minute. She really enjoyed her Latte as well. And more cookie dough. Go figure. We really like this place. The service is the right speed to provide quality products, and the place has a really nice look to it, which makes it easy on the eyes. Tables upstairs and downstairs, parking to the west if the front lot is full. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing a gem

Who'd have thought! Inviting colorful patio seating gives it a good vibe. I recommend this coffee shop highly. I'll be stopping again when I go this way again. I suggest they should put up a sign by the freeway. That'll bring them a lot more customers. Good luck and hope you thrive! Keep up the standards. I'll update my review over time. Ciao!

This is a combination antique store and coffee shop. Don't forget to look to the right as you order your coffee - there are some nice sweets in the display case - I enjoyed their chocolate covered cookie dough - yum! Since I don't do coffee, I had a good Root Beer Float. Very tasty! Lots of things to see - make sure you check out the basement as well, where more antiques and merchandise is hidden away. Take a moment to look at the window mouldings - they are impressive with crown, dental and other accents from the original church. As far as I know, this is the ONLY place to get an Astra Latte in Ogle County. If you love good coffee, you have to try this place.
