It was genuinely the coolest set up I've ever seen for a coffee shop. It shares a lot with a large antique shop, so you can enjoy a coffee while perusing unique vintage finds. We got a latte and a cold brew. The staff were awesome in helping us pick out special flavors to try off their menu and both drinks were thoroughly enjoyed! They had TONS of cool flavors to try. We didn't try any food, but did see they had a few assorted pastries. There was tons of seating, mostly outdoor across their property. It was all super eclectic and very cool. Highly recommend this spot for tasty coffee, great ambiance and to explore the antiques.

Inside, you will feel transported back into your 70's and 80's ice cream parlor with typical ice cream options, shakes, sundaes, malts, etc. and even food options as well. There is also a small market where you can purchase candy, fudge, root beer, licorice, syrup, local honey and even beef sticks. My shake was delicious and I can't wait to visit again this summer. Thank you!!

This was a pleasant surprise…read more Our Place Cafe probably won't wow you with its food or its name, but what they do, they do well and sensibly. For example, look at their menu. At many places, you get one choice and one price for that. You don't want sausage? Tough cookies, you still pay the same price. However, at Our Place, the menu is incremental, so you can order what you want and leave the other stuff off. No hassles, no overpaying. Things were cooked well: the eggs were ordered over medium and they came that way. Hash browns crisp and chewy. Toast was toasty. The coffee tasted like fresh coffee. You want it? You got it. I might come back the next time that I'm passing through the area.

We stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning and were greeted by our server, Leslie who told us we could site at any available table. She was very friendly. The restaurant was quite busy including the counter. It did take her about 15 minutes to take our order as she was juggling orders and bringing out plates. Unfortunately for Leslie, she was the only server and there were a few tables with larger groups of people. She was doing her best to take orders and bring out the food as ready. The cafe clearly needed additional staff. We were not in a hurry so we were fine but could tell others were getting impatient. We both ordered our drinks which took about 15 minutes to bring out, the food took much longer. I believe there was 1 cook working as well. I ordered one of the meat skillets with two poached eggs and sourdough toast. Unfortunately the poached eggs were cooked hard, not poached. Either chef overcooked or it is possible it sat too long waiting for pickup as the dish was warm, not hot. My friend ordered the veggie skillet and said she liked it. Overall, I did like the cafe even though my dish was overcooked. I will give it another try one day. Hopefully they can find additional staff.
