They had Wi-Fi so I was good on that front, but it was also cozy place to work. The owners were super nice and welcoming. They shared some info about the area with us. We got the Indian coffee which was excellent! So good! I would definitely recommend trying it because thats not something you would commonly come across at other cafes. We weren't hungry at the time but they also have a pretty solid food menu. If you need to make a pit stop in Chenoa, I would highly recommend this cafe. Waaaay nicer than a gas station.

What a sweet treat to find in this tiny Midwest town, super friendly owner chef, lots to enjoy from coffee, smoothes, and surprise! Boba!

Easily missed driving through so don't just drive by!

We couldn't have picked a better spot. We were seated immediately and notice the place was filled with mainly locals. Our server stopped by right away to take our drink order and ask us if we had any questions. She was so nice, so friendly, offered great recommendations and was fun to talk to. Mr. Bee ordered the Monte Cristo Wrap and I tried the house made veggie burger. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. The Monte Cristo Wrap was really quite good and had a lot of nice flavors and was seasoned well. My veggie burger was different but delicious. It was also seasoned well and I managed to eat every last bite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered a side of Fried Mac and Cheese and it too was very different than what you would expect. The mac and cheese is not shaped into balls, battered and fried. They take their mac and cheese and smash it down on the grill to cook it. So good. It had lots of crispy bits on it. The food was fresh and really well cooked. The place is like an old fashioned diner and friendly service with a smile. The atmosphere was fun, and everyone seemed friendly and were enjoying their meals. We were full, but when our server came by and said we have fresh made pies, Mr. Bee jumped on that bandwagon. We got a piece of coconut cream pie to go. We stopped in the park in the middle of the square where there are a few benches and picnic tables. We enjoyed our pie, it was scrumptious while enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

The bartender was awesome she was very friendly and attentive. As for the food one of the best fish Sammie's I've had. They only serve it on Friday. And they will run out they have limited servings. But don't miss out on the fish Sammie. They come in three sizes. I had the middle one for lunch it was so good I came back for dinner and orders the bigger one. The breading was so light and airy with a crispy crunch and the fish was so warm and moist and tender. The fish Sammie was 5 stars. Cheech's Foodie tip spread the tartar sauce on the bottom with a little mustard spread it down and also substitute the fries for pepper jack bites. And add them to the bottom of the Sammie. On top of the tartar sauce so the fish stays crispy The pepper jack bites add extra crunch creamy cheese texture and a little kick in the back of your throat. Completely changed the dynamic of that Sammie. If I'm ever back here I would be coming back just for that Sammie.

They are pretty typically slots compared to other bars but one was obviously not working with the graphics on the screen very hard to see.

My only complaint would be the wine glasses were shot plastic cups, similar to what you would find in a hotel room. It doesn't seem like a biggie, but having wine glasses for the wine would be a good investment.
