Sweet, creamy lemon ice cream with a ribbon of crunchy lemon cookie...refreshingly lemony!

Also have outside seating! If you are traveling up or down Route 23, a stop is well worth the 5 minute detour into downtown Jackson!

Left home early before breakfast for a crack of dawn meeting in Jackson so I was very pleased to…read moresee a cafe with breakfast getting good ratings on Yelp. Folks weren't lying. The Spot on Main Cafe fits the bill with a terrific warm pretzel breakfast sandwich with a large sausage patty and melted gouda. I'm pretty skeptical of sausage patties as they are typically thin, dry, and hockey puck-like. This one was none of those things. The large latte was robust in size and taste. Tasteful and super clean interior with good but not too loud music. Helpful service advising on choices (the bacon and swiss on a croissant was a close second when deciding what to get). Went for the pretzel which too wasn't the typically dry, hard, experience that requires incisor driven tearing to eat. I include a picture from the bathroom, definitely a first. But hanging on the inside of the door was a Scandinavia style high chair to have kiddos sit when you are otherwise occupied in this spotless bathroom. Two tables out front with shades and other tables around the corner in the back as well. Plenty of space inside but if you want to get outside to enjoy the morning coffee, that's an option. I'll definitely be back next time I have business in Jackson.

We stopped in for an early lunch, which they serve all day. Everything on the menu looked delicious and prices are reasonable. I had a bowl of the chicken and rice soup. The soup was thick and creamy with lots of vegetables and delicious. My husband loved the Club Sandwich which was packed with ham, bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato. Service was a bit confusing as one of the clerks told me to sit down and brought a menu. But she never came back to take our order and we figured out we had to go up to the counter to order. I guess the regulars know this. The place is popular, there's a line to order and most tables full. They have a nice patio out back with tables. Inside, there are about 15 tables. It gets loud inside when they are full. They sell their locally roasted coffee in the shop along with other coffee related gifts. There is street parking out front and a handicapped access at the rear entrance.

I recently saw a post on Ohio Trips' Facebook page about a charming little bakery tucked away in…read moresouthern Ohio called Four Mile Bakery. As a former chef and someone who creates food videos for my YouTube channel, I'm always searching for hidden diners, cafés, and bakeries that deserve more attention. Supporting local Ohio businesses is something I'm passionate about, so I made the drive to Jackson to see what all the buzz was about. The bakery sits along a quiet country road across from a picturesque farm with goats, horses, and cows, making the drive there part of the experience. When I walked inside, I discovered it's much more than a bakery--it's also a country general store stocked with homemade jams, jellies, sauces, and other locally made goodies. But let's be honest... the real reason for my visit was the doughnuts. Instead of the typical display case, Four Mile Bakery has a doughnut buffet where you put on plastic gloves and pick out your own favorites. It's a fun concept that lets you really take your time looking over all the incredible options. While I was filming, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Shawn. He couldn't have been more welcoming. He shared the story of the bakery, how many of their recipes were developed, and the passion that goes into what they make every day. Then came the highlight of my visit--their signature Wagon Wheel doughnut. This giant glazed doughnut is unlike any I've ever had. Most oversized doughnuts tend to be heavy, bread-like, and dense. Not this one. Somehow they've mastered the art of making it unbelievably light and airy with an almost cotton-candy-like texture. It practically melts in your mouth. It's one of the best doughnuts I've ever eaten. They also offer an impressive variety of doughnuts with all kinds of toppings and flavors, so there's something for everyone. Although they serve lunch items as well, I didn't have enough time to try them on this visit. We picked up several doughnuts along with a few items from the general store, thanked Shawn for his hospitality, and headed home. Four Mile Bakery is exactly the kind of hidden gem I love discovering. Great people, incredible homemade doughnuts, and a beautiful country setting make it well worth the drive. If you're anywhere near Jackson--or even if you're not--make the trip. The Wagon Wheel alone is worth it. P.S. Unfortunately, my camera's microphone decided to quit working during my visit, so most of the footage I captured is without sound. I guess that's just a good excuse to make another trip back to Four Mile Bakery... and somehow I don't think I'll mind having to eat another Wagon Wheel!

I pulled the hot dog out and a bite was taken from it. Since I am an avid reviewer I typically would have snapped a pic but I didn't get a chance . We showed the girl employee once she came back out and she apologized and said they would remake it. I decided at that point we wanted just a refund . I walked up to the door and knocked as the employee chatted with her friend at the window. Explained we were trying to feed our 4 year old the hotdog and now we are just skeptical about the whole situation and asked for a refund. She said they were dropping new hot dogs. I told her no we just wanted a refund. I was told refund was given 7-10 business days. Learned my lesson ... will not stop here again when passing thru. Went to DQ and got our hot dog.
