Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

The homemade Thousand Island was on the side so I could add just the right amount. Sandwiches came with a side. Mine was perfectly creamy coleslaw. The Chicken Salad Salad was hand made pulled chicken salad on top of a bowl of mixed greens. It was large enough for two. Most salads and sandwiches were north of $10. That might seem pricey, but with Sara's being practically the only lunchtime spot for miles around of this tourist community we're fortunate they didn't charge more.

Come in the morning for pancakes or come later for cupcakes and pie. The menu has lots of vegan options for those avoiding butter, eggs, and that kind of stuff. Charming interior that has a coziness about it. It's just as much of a bakery as it is a cafe, with display cases full of goodies and sweets. There's a good amount of indoor dining too. A lot come in here to pick up baked items at the counter. If dining in, have a seat. The menu is actually kind of big with tons of things. It's about $7 for a large latte. Kind of pricy, as far as coffee goes but it's good though. Has some non dairy milks. It's about $11 for the Vegan Waffles. Hearty and filling. There's also other plant based offerings such as tofu bowls at lunch. Has the best baked goods around. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

I got a you-pick-two with red pepper soup and a strawberry salad. While I was deciding, my eyes wandered over to the baked goods (this is absolutely a trend with me) and I saw a peanut butter pretzel cookie....whaaaaat? No way this wasn't going in my belly! Then I glanced over to the drink case and I saw....Topo Chico! In Murphysville, IL?!? This place stands out for curating the best in a small town. Now I'm really excited for my lunch! And it did not disappoint. The red pepper soup was roasty and hearty, definitely a good choice for this chilly weather. And the strawberry salad was fresh and refreshing. Does that make sense? The ingredients were so fresh and crisp - sweet strawberries in January I'd no small feat! - but it was light and hit the perfect note as an accompaniment to the red pepper soup. And that cookie? Do I even need to tell you how delicious it was? I didn't even offer my friend a bite. I ate the whole thing and I'm not ashamed. So good! A delicious lunch and nice respite in a small Illinois town. Worth going out of your way, for sure!
