When I asked about them the girl at the counter got all snippy with me asking if that's all I stopped in for. Look, I swing by the Osceola Cheese Store all the time because they have free samples, and I generally walk out of there having spent seventy dollars on cheese that I tried free samples of. So right off the bat I was irritated. It's a big shop, with lots of ham for sale, but wow, they are super pricey. I know they will say it's because they do all their own smoking, but there's a similar style place in Arizona where I live called The Pork Shop that has way more reasonable prices. Not that I'm suggesting you drive to AZ for a ham. I'm just saying their prices are a bit on the high side. I might stop in here again, but probably not.

I B nuts over this clever and creative little gift shop. It was the first store we visited on our…read moreday trip to WashMO. The variety of nuts, dried fruits and candies was vast. They were packaged in a variety of sizes, from snack to sharing. In addition to all sorts of edible goodies for people, they had a selection of dog treats as well. They also had an area devoted to Missouri made products, many of them made right there in Washington. Being addicted to jalapeños, I could not resist purchasing a couple jars of jelly. In addition to the nuts, they specialize in gift baskets. The ones on display were very impressive. In addition to the food items, they have cute gifts items, like coasters, napkins and witty signs to complete the gift. The owner was extremely friendly and gave us pointers on where else to shop, drink and eat as we explored her historical town. Will I return? - Next time I'm in WashMO.

This is one of those quaint little locally-owned outfits that you love giving business to…read more As you might guess from the name, they sell packaged sleeves of dried fruit, nuts, candies, and combinations of the three, but what they specialize in is making gift baskets and other arrangements. I found myself in need of roughly 10 gift baskets for some clients, and the owner Barb was more than accomodating. I asked if I could include wine and cheese with the baskets (which they didn't sell) and not only was it not a problem, but she picked the items up for me and let me pay her for them when I picked up the baskets! Now that's good customer service. =) This would be a great place to wrap up your holiday gift-giving needs when you get to the people that are impossible to buy for, or to supply a party you're having with some "grab a handful" type food.

I was just passing through Sullivan, and this place came up on my "must try" list. Mostly because…read morethey are not only a woman owned small business, but a veteran owned business as well. Thank you for your service The space is warm and cozy. There a a few spots to sit and enjoy your goodies. The menu offers both sweet and savory options. It's a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The food menu includes Shepards pie, tamale pie, and pot pies, soups, a few sandwiches, quiche, and breakfast options. I'll be passing through again soon and plan to report back on the savory fair. Let's get to the real reason for my visit: dessert pie! The list boasts traditional and specialty pies. They offer individual 4" or full 9" pies. The small pies can be purchased individually or as a 4-pack. I ordered 3 of the four packs to sample as many flavors as possible. I also ordered a full peach and apple crumb. I recommend for an order this size to call ahead. All the pies I purchased were frozen and had to be baked before serving. The mini pies come in an oven safe cardboard tin. I took these to work and heated them up in the toaster oven. They were big hit!! The consensus was that peach was the hands down favorite closely followed by tart cherry. The full size pies come in a traditional pie tin and bake up nicely in the oven. The only downside is waiting for the pie to cool after it comes out of the oven!! The apple crumb also comes very highly recommended. I would be remiss to not mention the drinks and smoothies. You'll need a little something to go with your pie. If you're passing through or even if it's a little out of the way, I recommend stopping in and checking this place out!?

One of the best parts of the Katy Trail is you blend remote, pure nature, with surprising and fun little stops that pop up throughout the journey. We had zero idea that the KT Caboose had been taken over and was open for business, but man, we were very pleasantly surprised. Not only is it on brand, being a caboose on the former rail line, it's like it was truly made for cyclists needing a nice pit stop. Shady umbrellas, trail views, and nice restrooms make this a total win. We got some ice cream and French press coffee, two of my favorite things in the world. It was wonderful, and I want to emphasize that what I am about to say is not a typo: it was *UNDER* priced. Yes, you read that right. In an era where grocery bills seem to add +$30 every week, and my old Amazon staples have all doubled, this place was actually underpriced. I don't remember exactly but an ice cream sundae with fresh fruit, several cups of coffee, and a big ice cream waffle cone were well under ten bucks. Johnny, feel free to bump them up a bit because we want you to make enough and to stay open for many years, otherwise we'll leave continue to just leave some extra as a tip for you next time in. There aren't a ton of places on the Katy since it's so rural and spread out, but with spots like Meriweather Cafe back west in Rocheport, and this spot, they really shine bright and make an impact. Grateful to have them and can't wait to be back in on our June ride!

The rain put a real damper on everything and there never seemed a good place to stop today, but finally we got a break in the weather and CDR Naturals popped up in Bourbon, close to the freeway and a description loaded with promise. Coffee bar, smoothies, juice bar, organic groceries etc. What we found when we stopped was a delightful family run store with friendly owners and a super personal approach. Bourbon is a tiny town and everyone who came in while we were there was welcomed by name. The coffee bar has two stools and no dairy on hand so we enjoyed expressos with almond milk and a vegan milk chocolate bar. Our well behaved pup was welcomed and water provided. It was a wonderful break from an endless road and a reminder of all the corners where life happens in a slow, agreeable way. A little steamed milk in our expressos would have made this a five star review
