    Rating: 2.5 stars We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The space was large and spacious with a good amount of seating. The first thing about the store that stood out was the amount of flies they had around. They were crawling all over the walls, signs and tables. They took our orders quickly and got our drinks right away. Someone in my group ordered a chai latte which was literally steamed milk and had barely any spice to it. Another person got a black coffee which they said was not good at all. Unfortunately, a disappointing experience.

    Overall, the place was _fine_. Quick and friendly service and a big menu to choose from! I got a hot latte and it was HOT. Too hot. I also think they over steam the milk to the point where it sort of ruins the espresso and breaks down the milk. My partner got an iced chai latte I believe which was fine as well. I think it might have been a bit too sweet but otherwise ok. Something i enjoy is latte art, which this places (along with most other coffee shops in Galena simply don't do). No big deal, just something I noticed. If you want something quick, this is the place, but not sure I would recommend to get a GREAT latte or anything.

    Not a bad place. I got a caramel latte and chai latte. The chai latte was a little on the sweet side for me, but my companion enjoyed the caramel latte quite a lot. I also picked up a maple bar here, because I almost never see them in Illinois (at least not with a slice of bacon on top, ew). It's a very large space, with some small tables and standing bar areas. They also sell coffee so if you like it pick up a bag or two! Staff could have been a bit friendlier, but oh well.

    Great for a quick drink! And they have some pastries there and lots of coffee on sale. The service was great and there's about three tables if you want to sit and chill for a moment

    Half full "large" cappuccino $5.50. Waste of money.

    My wife ordered an ice wave refresher drink, which she enjoyed. I ordered a large cappuccino and got half a cup of coffee and half a cup of foam. Didn't taste very good either. I would recommend elsewhere to get something other than a ready made drink.

    Great breakfast burritos, coffee, and environment! Service was quick and friendly! Highly recommended if you're in Galena.

    Right in the middle of Galena's downtown. Great location and fantastic coffee. Casual ambience with spacious interior. Got a cappuccino an it is everything it should be! Must visit to get quality coffee!

    Delicious pastries

    Had a pleasant experience in this coffee shop. Delicious blend of coffee. The aroma from coffee came out onto the side walk. That's what caught our attention. So glad it did.

    Best Carmel macchiato I've ever had. Maybe it was the fact that it's cold as hell outside, or maybe it's the fact I haven't slept in 41 hours, I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but what I can say is that this was the best Carmel Macchiato I've ever had in my life.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

Got to say the lunch menu has more options. The prices are pretty okay for portions. Best place to get a sandwich or wrap around. It's a charming old place with plenty of seating.

A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

We ordered the Signature Dip and Dream Combo. The churros looked different than the ones I've had before, so i decided I'd give them a try and holy moly were they amazing! The texture- perfectly crispy, sweetness- perfectly balanced and dipping it in their dark hot chocolate? Perfection! I wouldn't change a thing. If anything, they changed me and the way I viewed churros and I'm not saying this as someone who hasn't had churros in ten years. I do check ins and try the things I dislike every few years, I tried churros again last year and hated them. All to say these churros entirely changed the way I view churros! They're amazing! If you disagree- I don't trust you or your taste buds! Which is a strong statement, I get, but these are just too good and I haven't stopped thinking about them since I had them and now panicking because I know I can't get these unless I'm in galena.

We sampled the combo , which had two churros and a dipping sauce and added an iced pistachio coffee. The churros and the dipping sauce were absolutely incredible. One of the best churros I have ever tasted. They have numerous flavor options for the churros.And also many different kinds of dipping sauce , it made it hard to choose. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They paused to let me take some photos.And also showed me their quick efficient process of making the churros fresh to order. There's plenty of tables inside the cafe to sit down and enjoy your order. It's also air conditioned , in case you're trying to get out of the heat and looking for some shade.

My fiancé and I were looking for something Hispanic or Asian for lunch and opted for la michoacana. The proteins in both of our dishes were dry and tasted like it was cooked about a week ago.

I shared a mangonada with the hubs and also shared the shrimp fajitas. Many shrimps and good size for $22. I did ask for extra tortillas and asked how much would it be and she said she didn't know. But stood there. So I asked...if you can please find out if you don't know? That would surely help. Then she went to ask the price for me. She was probably 13 years old helping the family out. And another little boy was there bussing. I felt like the creepy adult being served by child labor so that made me feel kinda bad. It was also strange to have ice cream on one side of the restaurant and then table next to it for lunch. Would my food gets cold? The little girl also made a mistake and undercharged me for the shrimp fajitas that was $5 less and also didn't charge me for the tortillas while being busy on the phone. What did I do? I had to tell her about it because again, I felt bad!!!! My son ordered the kids meal grilled cheese with fries and it was just ok. Unfortunately it was not as good as the La Michoacana in my hometown. There are many restaurants in Galena and I actually felt like I made a mistake with this one 3 stars for the mangonada and shrimp fajitas was actually decent.

They roast, blend, and package their coffee in Dubuque, Iowa. Their name derives from a street in Iowa that contained only five houses comprised of the founder's family. In the early 2000s the street was annihilated to make room for highway expansion, but the name lives on in the coffee. For my first review from their brand, I went with a whole bean bag of their Shot Tower Espresso blend. The company describes that blend as having a " smooth yet sharp character with no bitterness. The delicately dark roast level results in a taste and aroma that is full-bodied with a sweet and creamy complexity." Beans for their signature espresso blend are selected from Central America, South America and Indonesia in order for a unique and nuanced flavor profile. I found this particular roast to not only be delicious, but one of my new favorites. I'll be on the lookout for more of their blends at my local grocer.

Once I found out this very-important-information, it was an 1.5 hours after placing my order. I emailed customer services asking about how I could change my order from ground coffee to single-serve. Eric immediately wrote me back and explained that it would be easier to cancel my order, then I could reorder what I did want, as they use a 3rd party credit card processor. I was instantly refund the $ I spent on my original order, so I turned around and bought the single-serve coffee instead. Less than 48 hours after placing my online order my in-laws received their coffee in the Chicago suburbs - super fast delivery. They were thrilled, and I can't say enough good things about Verena Street's products and their customer service. Would love to see them expand their single-serve coffee flavors in the future. The ability to choose a shipping date (especially for the holiday season) would be a nice option, too. Highly recommend.
