The coffee was perfect. They have many different coffee drinks but I just had a regular brewed coffee. We also had a packaged wild blueberry muffin and a scone. I don't remember what kind of scone it was, but it was delicious and not prepackaged. The store is spacious with lots of seating. The gift shop has an eclectic collection of home goods, clothing and a few chocolate treats. It's on this year's Nebraska Passport, so don't miss it! read more

The gift shop was pretty tight--not somewhere I would want to shop in the middle of a roadtrip.
