We stopped here on a Sunday, the day before the eclipse. They're not normally open on a Sunday but did so to help out all the eclipse travelers. This is a darling little cafe and bookstore. I had a grilled cheese panini with some local sweet mustard (that I liked so well I bought a bottle of it.) and delicious cold brewed coffee. There are homey tables spread throughout the little bookstore, that carries both new and used books. Janice and the rest of her staff are what make this place truly shine. She has impeccable customer service, and brims with warmth and pride of ownership. I was happy to spend my money here and support such a gracious and charming host. Thank you, Douglas, WY! read more

Buyer Beware. I purchased 20 items (sandwiches, wraps and salads) for a meeting. I wanted to support a local business in the community. I contacted this business in advance to prepare for the order. I requested a pick up time of 11:30 am. When I showed up to pick up the food, it wasn't ready and then I was charged an additional $25 for gratuity due to the large number of items in the order. This information was not provided to me when the original order was placed. I have purchased similar size orders from other businesses in the community and have never been charged such a fee. I question the business ethics of this owner and would not recommend this establishment for purchase of food. The quality of the food was okay. For a $7.00 meal it consisted of a grilled sandwich, two pickle slices and small bag of lays potato chips. It was not a meal that would convince me to return as a repeat customer or recommend it to others. My greatest disappointment is how this business owner price gouges others in a small community that professes to be supportive of its local businesses and each other. This business is doing an excellent job of tainting that image. read more

The Whistle-Stop is the perfect place to find a book to get lost in while enjoying an excellent cup of coffee. The paninis are delicious! The atmosphere and superior customer service made me feel like I was back at Mom's house. This is one of those special places that doesn't exist anywhere else. You don't want to miss it!!! read more

It's a small but cozy place! The owner is the sweetest and very attentive. I was looking for a coffee shop to do some work but this made me feel at home! Coffee is delicious too read more

Having spent much time in the Whistle Stop, I feel able to accurately review it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food and coffee are delightful. I was surprised to find such a place in a town the size of Douglas. Thank you Whistle Stop! read more
