It did take quite awhile but I was in no rush and had no issue waiting; it seemed like they weren't expecting a rush so I'm glad they were busy with business! The specialty drinks were fun and tasted great. Definitely on the sweeter side if you're into that kind of thing. Our two drinks were $13 (they didn't ask what size I wanted but they were huge!). They also have a punch card club, buy 9 get the 10th free, so picked one of those up as well.

A darling little boutique on Main Street Panora!…read more I love shopping here when I'm back home during the summer and holiday season. They do a great job of rotating their products to pair with the season and current trends. What you'll find inside: - Mini cafe so you can sip coffee while you shop - Floral stand for bouquets - Sections for women's clothes, baby items, decor/lake themed items, and house decor - Basement that tends to rotate based on themes - it was Christmas decor and trinkets during the holidays! Expect boutique prices here but there are some awesome finds for gifts, lake souvenirs, and decor. I've purchased baby gifts, Christmas decor, and some lake-related swag here. The staff are very friendly and fun!

Elk Horn celebrates its vibrant Danish origins with this windmill and adjacent gift shop. Elk Horn…read moreis the largest Danish settlement in the United States, brought to the community in the late 1800s by immigrants. Thankful for staffer Phyllis, who was kind, friendly, and informative. She made our visit way better! They have fun items all over their spacious gift shop, which focuses on their Danish history. There is a $5 tour of the windmill too. Plenty of parking, a cute park immediately south, and downtown Elk Horn a walk to the north. Located less than 10 minutes north of I-80. Cap this visit off with a stop at The Kringleman Pastry Shop two blocks north, and you'll fully immerse yourself in Danish culture.

Excellent stop in Elkhorn, IA. This windmill was dismantled in Denmark and shipped to IA where it…read morewas restored and reconstructed. Definitely pay the five dollar entry (adults) to go inside! Beside the windmill, the grounds include a Danish Viking smithy and home along with historic Viking information and milling information. There is also a tiny church moved here after being donated by the builders family. Models of Danish homes created by a man in MA who based them on the Danish village his grandparents lived in are on display behind the building in a small fenced area. A bust to Hans Christian Andersen is in their lovely garden area and picnic tables are under the trees near the Viking home. Community bulletin boards are near their private dirt parking lot. The gift shop has so many treasures! Be sure to sign the guest book. At the time of this review, tariffs on goods imported from Europe have increased some prices, but there are plenty of Danish kitchen items, holiday decor, candles, mugs, wonderful toys, candy, mead, glassware and on and on. Definitely plan time to wander around. Purchases support mill upkeep and restoration. The gift shop also serves as an Iowa tourist information point where you will find brochures of other Iowa sights. Very clean restrooms at the back of the gift shop. The windmill is just six minutes south of the Little Mermaid Fountain which is another stop worth seeing. Happy motoring!

I try to make it in at least once a week if not more because they are constantly getting new stuff. The prices are so amazing for being locally made. It's so refreshing to see real people's handmade art instead of random workers in China.

And my favorite thing to look at are the koozies, such cute and funny sayings to add to my collection.
