On one visit I was showing my friends my homemade earrings. On another visit a friend brought me a birthday gift and was letting pick out the bracelet, The owner came by and gave the impression that my actions were being interpreted as conducting business, even though I wasn't, If the coffee shop has policies about sharing your handcrafts or exchanging gifts while at their shop that is their right, However, I left feeling unsure of what was and wasn't permitted. The experience made the atmosphere feel much less welcoming than I had previously experienced, because of those experiences, I'm likely not to return. If you're looking for a place where customers can comfortably meet friends and share personal projects or gifts, you may want to clarify the café's expectations first

Bathroom was clean and looked well managed. Staff was very friendly and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. I tried one of the specials I think the hoppy bunny which the barista described as white chocolate and peanut butter - to me it tasted more like almond, not really either of the flavors she mentioned but it was decent, just didn't blow me away :)

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!

Great coffee, friendly service as always! I also got a piece of their coffee cake and a breakfast burrito and they were both so good.
