I had to get some work done, so I thought it would be great to have coffee and WIFI. BOTH of which Watts Coffee provided. The coffee was great, and the staff team and owner ever Greater.

The art of Alexander is amazing and you can see his metal Indian sculptures on the hills in central Kanas. IF you are travelling in Council Grove stop and enjoy an hour in Watts Coffee.

Who knew I'd have one of the best meals of the year in a tiny town in Kansas? Chef Stan's Place is…read morehoused in a restored church, and features a paired down menu of brunch and lunch items. And when I say paired down, I mean there are literally five options to choose from, plus three desserts. There's also a soup (whatever Stan feels like making that day) and a salad (a house salad with spring lettuces, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes, corn and pepperoncinis). Everything is made by Chef Stan himself, and made with local ingredients -- sometimes harvested right from the garden that he keeps out back. Quiche is a popular choice here and always on the menu, so I had to get that. Stan likes to change up the flavors of the quiche, and when I visited, it was a Mediterranean quiche, with feta and greens. The crust disintegrated in my mouth, it was so tender. Also on the menu was an egg salad sandwich, served face-up on a thick, toasted slice of sourdough bread; a grilled cheese; ravioli; and a pulled chicken sandwich. For dessert, I was told that the Magic Cookie Bars are the thing to get, and my dining companion got one. It takes like 15 minutes to make (Stan bakes them fresh), but they are worth the wait. The Magic Cookie Bars are a cookie crust layered with chocolate chips, shredded coconut and topped with chopped walnuts, all baked together with condensed milk. They're rich and gooey, and definitely something that can be shared with the table. I also had to try the lemon tart, which was bright with just the right amount of lemon in a shortbread crust. And because I couldn't just taste two of the three desserts offered, I also got a chocolate chip cookie for the road. It was a great choice. Chef Stan's Place is a small and intimate restaurant, but casual and comforting. While I was there, a series of regulars came through -- either to dine in or get something to go. The server knew them by name. If you visit, you definitely want to dine in and stay a while. This is a simple and beautiful restaurant, with views out of the church windows of the lovely prairie outside.

The cinnamon rolls are the best we have ever had. They are also different variations of cinnamon rolls such as pumpkin rolls that are tasty too. We also ordered biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. My husband was reluctant to try the homestyle syrup, but you cannot go back to maple syrup after having their homestyle. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was rich and had plenty of breakfast sausage to give it some bite. We have made the trip to Durham three more times since our first visit.

Although the museum portion was eye-pleasing and had artifacts relating to Kansas in the 19th century, the food was just alright and portions were small. The elk pot roast was underseasoned, but the rest of the meal was good.
