    the outside of a coffee shop
    Dan B.

    This is a great coffee shop in a cool little town of Lacon (1900 residents) located directly on the east side of the Illinois River. Crossing the old bridge is a plus for the visit. When it comes to coffee, there's plenty of options to choose from including Coffee, Iced Coffee, Americano, Latte (hot or iced), Cappuccino, and Expresso Shots. Caffeine Freezers are a blended frappe made with coffee or milk and your choice of different flavors. There's also 10 options for hot tea or tea lattes for those that are not true coffee purists. In addition to coffee, they feature breakfast and lunch, ice cream cones, smoothies, and even homemade fudge. I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte along with a square slice of pecan pie. The employee was courteous, efficient and friendly. There were several open tables but I got it "to go". The latte was seriously one of the best I've ever had and the pecan pie was delicious! Total cost was $7.33 (money well spent). Great selection, pleasant service, fantastic coffee and delicious pie makes this an easy 5 Star! Give them a try!

    This place is adorable and I wish I had one where I am! It used to be my favorite spot to get coffee before embarking the rest of my drive up to Chicago! They have decent drinks here but probably the best vanilla chai I've ever have tying with one other place up in Schaumburg! The desserts are a hit or miss! But dat chai still lingers in my dreams. It's like a delicious heartwarming cookie in a cup.

    Cute shop with two employees working. It took about 4 minutes for us to be greeted as one staff member was busy cooking and the other was in the coffee area. The staff that greeted us was friendly. Service was not fast but the coffee was good. We had a cinnamon roll iced latte and a peppermint patty hot latte and a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream. The ice cream was absolutely delicious. The peppermint patty flavor wasn't what I expected (I really didn't get the peppermint patty flavor but it had peppermint in it) but I'd be willing to order different flavors next time. The cinnamon roll iced latte was good but could use more white chocolate in my opinion. Give it a shot when you are in town and support the locals. It's worth a stop in.

    This place has an amazing assortment of great treats, eats, and coffee. Grab a cup of ice cream and your favorite coffee drink and pour some into the cup - so good. We did vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha. Enjoy the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Free wifi. We will be back!

    Fantastic place to relax with a breakfast or lunch sandwich, coffee, flavored drinks and more! The staff is amazing, the owners are personable, and you know they care for their customers because they have 2ply in the restrooms!

    You can see a progression in my reviews from despising Java shops to a slow morph of them sneaking their way into my icy black heart (thank you Java Beach in SF and Roy Street in Seattle)...not only has it been a long time coming since I fell in love with a coffee house but I am not easy to please, at least when it comes to good coffee. So I was quite surprised to find luv here in between the corn fields. Like true love or exceptional coffee you never know where you will find it, or better yet where it will find you. The Southern Belle is the best darn latte this side of the Dixie. You get hit with a full flavored expresso shot (actually three) followed by a sweet Peach kiss. This is the farmer's daughter's drink of drinks; it kept me wide awake on those long, country roads and it will put a pep in your cowgirl step. This little shop, is not so little. Lots of seating options which include front-window-bar seats observing the town traffic (all three cars), large tables for groups and comfy couches in the back. There is a nice selection of pies, sandwiches, italian sodas (Caruso's), ice cream, home-made fudge and over 35 different flavors to add to your coffee. Baristas are always friendly and helpful in helping you choose your coffee of the day. Try a coffee float instead of a rootbeer float. Not on the menu, but just ask and they will make it. Yum.

    Favorite coffee place! Workers are very friendly. Coffee is really good! Cute little store with homemade ice cream and lots of different soda flavors. I go a few times a week! The prices are very reasonable. Baked goods and fudge are both delicious, also. I had a blueberry muffin and it was delicious!

    Great ice cream selection
    Joe K.

    Nice little ice cream & coffee shop. Lots of nice sweets, and over 70 varieties of Illinois bottled soda. The owner is very nice, offered to let us taste every flavor of ice cream before we chose.

    Excellent coffee freezies.

    See all

    Not sure if these reviews (1 good 1 bad) are even legitimate. Both users are from the Chicago…read morearea.... Lacon is NOT. I am curious as to whether or there may be another business by this name? It is a common name / theme for ice-cream/food shops that may try to emulate Dairy Queen. I live a few doors away. I NEVER EVER EVER see sketchy activity here. I think their name might be the only downside obviously since it is SO SIMILAR TO OTHER SHOPS WHO MIGHT BE DEALING DRUGS??? Not here.... I promise. I am a business own, a local and local enough to see the own from my drive-way on a daily basis.... and I see the people who go there.... nothing sketchy about it. It's an honest, small joint with some great ice-cream and incredibly tasty eats. The owner works hard to make this place a central business in town. Everyone around knows the place.... you drive through? it's still hard to miss as there aren't many places like the Dairy Barn around. As far as I know, there is a name change in progress.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... keep the location in mind of the other reviews. I THINK they are commenting about a place near Chicago. May be wrong.... but there are no drugs at this place. It's a small town, friendly atmosphere with enough seating inside for summer evening get togethers. Great little business, prices are great! My kids especially like walking down the street to get some ice cream. If I even suspected sketchy activity I wouldn't take them there. It's family friendly, kid safe and did I mention incredible ice cream?

    Saw no drug deals go down. Had a medium flurry which was the size of a large DQ blizzard for about…read more$1.50 less. Candy went all the way to the bottom of the cup unlike DQ. Would definitely go to this place again for ice cream. Well done!
