This is a destination meat store, packed with people on a fall Saturday morning. My husband was…read morelooking for steaks, but we didn't get those, as the marbling wasn't ideal. What the store specialized in was quite clear: sausage. So much sausage. We did get bacon, though, plus gobs of cheese and even a salsa to try. I made one of the bacon packs the next morning, and the quality is incredible. Some of the best I've bought from a store. If I was in the area again, I know I'd stock up on bacon!

A whole crew was inside the business, visibly baking in the back. We were greeted and offered sample cups of apple pie, which were delicious. I scouted out the cheese selection; it is fantastic, with a nice variety of Wisconsin cheeses by makers like Hook's, Marieke Gouda, and Hoards. They do not sell pie by the slice. They have full-sized fresh pies and also frozen pies in small and large sizes. We bought a small frozen apple pie, because that's what would fit in our cooler. I also bought a goodly pile of cheese. Leaving the business was much easier, as we were able to turn onto Highway 60 toward Mankato.

Ice cream was tasty, so that's the main thing. It was a mid-90s day, so they were very very busy…read more Service was pretty quick for how many people were in line when we got there. I am the last person to tell someone to smile. SO annoying! But, the 3 people working looked so unhappy to be there. No friendliness whatsoever. Now, I am obviously not aware of placement of individuals on the neurodivergency scale, but if one is in customer service and especially serving ice cream, some level of joyfulness might be expected. Perhaps even, dare I say, a smile when a customer makes a funny mistake. I know I said they were busy, but they didn't seem frantic or overrun in any way. It just felt a bit uncomfortable, like when you walk in on an argument and they stop because you came in. BUT, back to the ice cream. It was good. Would have loved a peanut butter chocolate flavor (not available that day), but was okay with cookie dough and Macha as a surpringly good combo. We also had the cafe latte da, which was amazing! Will likely go back again with hopes of a more comfortable, maybe even joyful, experience. I'll be sure to time it when PB Loves Chocolate is being served!
