    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!

    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.

    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)
    Michael W.

    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 !

    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.

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

    We picked this place to meet up with friends for lunch. The place is HUGE!! The vibe is minimalist…read moreroadside bar and grill. It felt very clean and well maintained. We waited maybe 10 minutes for a table on a Sunday afternoon. The service from everyone team member was friendly and prompt. The menu is extensive. We tried the catfish bites with a homemade dill forward tartar sauce and the fried green tomatoes with a spicy remoulade. They offer brunch on the weekends. We had pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. For the more savory palates, we ordered a burger, the ribeye, and the Capone. The burger was thick and juicy, the bun held up to all of the toppings. The ribeye sandwich is a full steak on a hoagie roll. The Boursin cheese made this a little too rich for me but an amazing sandwich nonetheless. The Capone is a burger interpretation of a parmigiana sandwich. Rich marinara, mozzarella cheese and grilled onions and mushrooms made for an amazing meal. We had a wonderful time. We plan to stop in again soon

    Tavern food that you can count on! They had their renovation…read moreand are running like a well oiled machine. The space is similar but the walking to the back dining area is long. The bar is very large so that's great. The tables in the back can be adjusted for large parties but the space next to them doesn't make it comfortable. The servers are quick and stay organized with their tables. I think the food is okay but it will always come out hot! I wish they would add more seasonings to their meals and perhaps more weekly specials.

    In all fairness, we stopped in and had the buffet just before they closed so i can't judge them on…read morefreshness! It's usually really crowded when we drive by 11:00 to 1:00 and they close at 2:00! The buffet table is small and not a lot of choices to choose from but the food was good! The choices were even fewer when the help and the waitresses filled their plates before you. And then it happened, something I've never seen before(and Iv'e been to 2 county fairs and a goat roping) the waitress reached in and grabbed a drumstick and ate it while standing at the buffet, no plate just hands! A little gross, but she did look hungry. May try again early before the help dives in.

    After being told our wait elsewhere would be 45+ minutes, my fiancé and I went to the Kroner Cafe,…read moreand I'm so glad we did! We only had to wait for about 5 minutes and the atmosphere was much more calm and relaxed. We both chose to order off the menu rather than eating the buffet. My fiancé got the country fried steak special and I got 2 pieces of fried chicken with mashed potatoes. I'm not usually a fried chicken person, but it smelled really good. It. Was. So. Freaking. Tasty! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and along with the homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, I was in comfort food heaven! My fiancé really enjoyed his food as well and then we tried the carrot cake cupcakes from the dessert bar which were also delicious! The only downside was our waitress seemed very busy and never checked back on us. She dropped our check off with the food and never came back.
