But it was a great brew, you know what I mean ice tea drinkers. There is something about the perfect ice tea. My friend and I shared a lemon scone drizzeled with frosting and an apricot nut scone. I was expecting the traditional scone texture, kinda dry but these were a tad moister and had lots of good flavor. They also have cookies, cinnamon rolls and a coffee cake that looked delightful. They have a few outside tables but the inside is eclectic with items for sale. The staff was helpful and pleasant to visit with. When in Washington, IA stop by.

Tucked away in a charming small town off I-80 in Iowa, this coffee shop is a gem. The beautifully renovated historic building adds to its warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to recharge, whether you're grabbing a quick cup or settling in for a break. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they made me a fantastic Americano--my go-to order since it delivers a consistently bold espresso experience without the variability of drip coffee. If you find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and make the stop. It's well worth it!

COFFEE (2/5 - forget it, go to a gas station or mcdonalds instead)…read moreDidn't order food, but coffee, as I came here to stop by after passing through Newton, they didn't know what simple syrup is. Their coffee tastes like something you can get at a gas station and I regret simply not going to a gas station for coffee. AMBIANCE (0/5) Dark, old, dingy, smells weird....just like the clientele. SANITATION (0/5) I don't even put this if it's not issue, well yeah....went into the guy's bathroom, and there was dried dung all over the toilet. Overall, I normally favor locally-owned businesses, but not this one, I do not recommend maybe unless you're an old white dude that works a blue collar job that doesn't have bathroom decency. For everyone else, I heavily recommend West Side Java instead, if you're ever in Newton. Also....what kind of name is "Uncle Nancy" to begin with? Never heard of any old man named "Nancy" but okay.....guess I should open a restaurant named "Aunt Billy Bob's".
