I try to pop in on the regular when I'm on my farm in Mendota. Katie and her team are so friendly and always have yummy freshly baked goods like delicious gluten free peanut butter cookies, cupcakes, brownies, pineapple upside down cake, all sorts of baked goodies. I can't decide if my favorite sandwich is the good ole BLT or the Chicken salad on the croissant they are both so yummy! They have lots of other things too. There is a beautiful outdoor patio and live music concerts about once a month when the weather is nice. You have to check on Facebook to see who is playing. It's really great! I wholeheartedly recommend that you check out lovely Mendota and visit their sweet general store The Store at Mendota. Oh and I nearly forgot, free wi-fi & free parking!! Don't underestimate free wi-fi when you are out in the middle of God's gorgeous country because you're unlikely to get a signal.
