The flavors meld together so well. It had a little spice to it, but nothing that lingered on your tongue in an annoying way. I had a seasonal latte and it was like Autumn in a cup.

Decorated for Spooky Season, as I visited here in the Fall. Can't wait to visit Van Wert again to stop into Brewed Expressions. And kudos to the staff! They were professional, helpful, and well coordinated in their service-- communicating kindly to me and to each other and pitching in to help for efficiency.

She ordered the French Soda and the breakfast sandwich and I did a custom iced latte (white chocolate and pistachio with almond milk) and the smoked Gouda grilled cheese. Everything was very good and perfectly made. They did run out of eggs that morning so my friend's breakfast sandwich was just a bagel, cheese, and bacon. They didn't have any sauces to add to it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. They clearly know the regular customers and they stayed busy. My friend and I aren't familiar with Van Wert and the staff was happy to recommend local businesses for us to visit while he hung out. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was busy, but there's ample seating so it was fine. It was cute inside and the enjoyed the exposed brick walls.

I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

Anyone who knows me know I love coffee, so I was intrigued about a place that sold homemade coffee syrup. My best friend swears by coffee syrups, i usually most often prefer the taste of coffee without flavoring but decided to give it a try. There were plenty of flavors to choose from but bought vanilla (for my brother), chocolate (for my mom) and salted caramel (for me). The syrups were reasonably priced, i made the purchase and they bagged it for me. The next day my family tried to coffee syrups! Omg! So good! I have been adding it to my coffee every morning! Now i am hooked! Anyone reading this should definitely get some and try it themselves!

We wanted to eat at a sit down restaurant and it's located relatively close to where I work. I have never eaten at a Bob Evans before but it reminds me a lot of a Denny's or an IHOP. It was cold the night we came... think it was maybe 20 without taking into account the wind chill. We sat down and started looking at the menu... huge menu and it would be huge even taking into account they serve breakfast and dinner. I am always afraid of restaurants that have too many choices on their menu... simply it's easier to be an expert when you have a smaller menu. I noticed they served soups and chili. It was a cold night so my mother ordered chicken soup and and I ordered chili. My brother, the contrarian, got a Caesar salad. The chili wasn't bad, but it was rather watery and not as flavorful as I prefer. I like my chili to be thick, hot and spicy. My brother did like the salad. We all ordered some home style fried chicken tenders, with corn, fries and honey mustard. My brother got baked potato, though. The chicken was rather good, the sides were pretty standard. For dessert, my mother got the double-crust apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My brother and I got both some chocolate sundaes. The sundae was my favorite part of the meal. I know it's crazy that I ordered ice cream on such a cold night, but I guess I am starting to get used to the cold. Anyway, it wasn't a bad experience. I probably will be back eventually. I haven't tried their breakfast and wonder if it's better:

First of all we waited and waited for a server to come. Our server waited on other tables before waiting on us. Once we placed our orders ( i ordered two eggs, toast and bacon and my brother ordered pancakes with banana pudding etc.) A pretty simple and quick order. Forty some minutes later, we still did not have our food, let a lone a glass of milk for my brother. Finally our server came to our table and told us that our food had not even been started. He had no idea as to where my slip for my order was and that my brother's order was not yet started. My brother has Parkinson's, and it is important to keep his food routine on a timely schedule. We were told that we could leave, no charge for us as we did not get out food. We left without getting any food or bring compensated for our time and long wait. I am really upset that we were treated so badly. I gave my server my name and phone number, expecting a written apology along with a coupon for another dinner. As of 24 hours later, not a response from Bob Evans. This is extremely sad. I had expected move from you.
