    We were driving through Illinois and desperate for lunch and coffee. As we looked for a coffee shop with good food this place appeared on Yelp. We were excited to find a place that looked so cute in such a small town. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and fast. The food and lattes were delicious. There is even a lovely space in the loft with tables, a couch, kid toys and games. I wish I got a picture of our food, but we were so hungry we dug right in before getting a pic.

    Breakfast Special

    Lovely little place in the heart of Amish country, with the rustic charm of a modern farmhouse and the home-iness of a small business. Prices are fair and reasonable. The food is fresh and lovingly prepared. Try the blackberry ice cream; it's divine! Their toast and jam was a crowd favorite, supplied with local strawberry jam that was such a delight that my party asked where we could grab some for ourselves as gifts for friends. My deluxe sandwich was satisfying without being overly greasy. I'd say their coffee is also a step into the gourmet side, with the cafe worker raving about the different notes and offering recommendations. Overall, a great place for brunch with friends or a nice place to grab coffee with a book!

    Made our own plate!  Yummy!!

    CHAI TEA LATTE is the best ever! Along with the breakfast plate... !!! Service is great! The ambiance is quite and clean!

    Fresh Blueberry Muffin and Drip Coffee (Mexico coffee beans)

    Recommended from a local friend and father in law, decided to swing by and grab a cup of drip coffee. Interior is aesthetically pleasing with modern lighting, modern rustic decor, and live green plants. The drip coffee was brewed well, bringing out the great flavor of the coffee beans. Love how they use local ingredients to support local businesses. Saw an employee bring out freshly made muffins, and I had to try one. I ordered a blueberry muffin and sure was delicious. It had a nice sugary crusty top, and a warm and moist center. Great place to study, work remotely, or to take your significant other on a date. If you're in the Arcola area, and need a cup of coffee, make sure you swing by Broomtown Cafe!

    Everything that a café is supposed to be! Amazing, locally sourced food and drinks, great service, beautiful setting, and cozy nooks to settle in with a book, work on a project, or meet with a friend. Will be coming back often and recommending to friends and family who are passing through Arcola!

    Great breakfast and coffee shop. Loved the lavender latte. Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Worth the stop off the expressway. Everything was so fresh.

    Absolutely perfect place for a short coffee break (very good espresso) or a lunch ( lovely menu). People are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend !

    Nice, sprawling wide open space, no problem at all finding seating- plenty of tables, each stocked with either a game or book. Relatively smallish menu with breakfast items. To be fair, there may be more on the menu than I noticed as we just came for coffee. I did see a freezer with about 8 flavors of ice cream. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his espresso. I took one star off because my latte wasn't as hot as it should/could be though the flavor was good (lavender). Prices are reasonable and there is plenty of street parking.

    This is a great place with a cool atmosphere and amazing ownership. They use Colombia Street coffee which is roasted in Champaign. The staff is knowledgeable about coffee, and have a great selection of food options. Hopefully Arcola and surrounding areas can support such a unique place for a small town! Well worth the visit and a hang.

    If you haven't been to Broomtown yet then you are missing out! It's in the mix of the historic buildings on Mainstreet and you can see the history of the building when you enter. Great coffee, tea and pastries along with a growing entree menu. It's the perfect place to meet friends, do homework, or have a business meeting. They have an online ordering option from their website that I often take advantage of! With curbside, to-go, online ordering, and walk-in they cater to everyone during COVID.

    Example of the game you could play.

    Had breakfast. Enjoyed the food and the people there. Nice presentation. Coffee is also good. We also liked the remodel of the building.

    Visiting coffeehouses is one of my recreational activities…read more On an adventure to Brookfield, my dad and I stopped in for some caffeine for the road trip. At first, we were confused as GPS took us to a bicycle shop but once we go out and walked around, we found where to get our caffeine. We walked in to a busy cafe and noticed half of it was a bicycle shop. I'm not sure if it's the same owner/business but it was pretty neat to see the two put together. Pretty sure this is a first for my dad and I. I wasn't sure where to order and happened to be standing next to a little computer set up that looked like I could order my own drinks from. Just before I decided to try and use it myself, a barista came over and took our order. My dad isn't used to getting coffees from anything over than his coffee pot at home so he ordered the same thing I always get: iced americano. We waited about 5 minutes to get our drinks and then we dipped out to start our adventures for the day. We got to my car and took a few sips to get us energized for the trip to Brookfield and I have to say, the americano from Recreation was really good. It was dark and bitter, just how I like it. My dad tried his first americano and really liked it. He drinks his coffee like I do. Black. So, it's no surprise he could handle the bitterness just as well as me. Recreation was nice little stop to get some caffeine. The baristas were super nice. The place is fairly smaller on the inside so if you have a large group of people, you may need to take the place over or take your drinks elsewhere. Overall, pretty cool place to get some coffee, just don't let the bicycle shop store front fool ya. Recreation has it's own door to enter from outside.

    My favorite latte in town - the best flavors, great ambiance, and best employees. They also have…read moreamazing toast and the cannolis on the weekends look amazing - they're still on my list to try. I also like the cold brew with cold foam. My favorite latte flavors are honey/lavender, caramel, and vanilla. I also love the punch card system they have for drinks.
