I had purchased salted Virginia peanuts while in Virginia a couple of months ago that were so good. They had virginia peanuts here but only honey roasted. So I gave them a try. My husband liked them but I didn't much care for them. Also bought stone ground grits from South Carolina that were excellent. And lastly I purchased Bequet caramels. By far the best caramels I have ever eaten. All items were pricy but fun purchases. Shop is clean, staff friendly and convenient to hang out while waiting for breakfast. Same owner as the Pancake shop so they even came into the shop to call our name when our table was ready. Purchase or not it is worth popping in to check out the shop. .

We all know you could spend a ton of money buying candy just for nostalgia reasoning. Like Mary Jane's. Or root beer barrels or taffy. A lot of different options but unfortunately not very well stocked and again not being able to use a credit card keeps purchases very small. We asked when the credit card machine will be working again and we were informed that the credit card machine is shared with a business a few doors down but that business closes at 2:30 so anytime after 2:30 it's not an option. Unfortunate for this business. Luckily we did have some cash on us and we're able to purchase a few things. I guess that's good for us, but bad for them. I know we would have bought more. The buttered popcorn taffy was pretty dang good. The mary janes brought back many memories

We always strike-up an interesting conversation with people sitting at the bar. Several local beers on tap and we had the Space Force, an IPA, on both visits....very good. We split a Reuben sandwich with fries and it was excellent. I also ordered a side of fried okra, which was delicious and so hot, I had to let it cool before eating. The bartenders are always friendly and will talk if time allows. The whole place has a great vibe. Speaking of the okra, I noticed that on my bill I was charged $13 and change for it. I thought WOW, but gladly paid the bill. The more I thought about it, I figgered it must be an error. On our second trip, I mentioned it to the bartender and asked if it were possibly an error. It was an error and she asked me how to make it right (there was a logical explanation for the error). I made it clear that I was not complaining, just wanting clarification. She asked if a complimentary order of fried okra was OK....certainly! Great place and a Hot Springs icon. Highly recommend and dont skip it.

Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.
