There is a staff member at the very front that offers samples to help you decide which bag or bags to purchase. This is such a cute and family feel spot. Everyone seemed so happy to be in there and it brought me so much joy. My fiancé and I went with the galena mix which contained cheddar, caramel and kettle corn. It was verrrrrrry good. Next time we'll be more adventurous and try some of their unique flavors.

Absolutely delicious churros! I've hated churros my entire life and as we were passing by, my dad…read morecouldn't resist the smell and said we had to stop. 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 discovered this new addition to downtown Galena and found it is the exact restaurant we never…read moreknew we needed! Corner Churro Cafe is your new destination for high quality coffee and delicious churro desserts! With great indoor seating and outdoor seating, you can come as an individual or as a group. The shop is open, spacious, and clean. They had adorable decorations ready for the upcoming Halloween holiday. The staff are friendly and helpful. Given the expansive menu, they are happy to answer questions about the different options. I got a basic black cold brew and my husband got the hazelnut latte iced. We both loved our drinks and got our caffeine fix for our drive home. For a snack, we shared the "El traditional" churro, which comes with two regular cinnamon/sugar churros. It was perfect for us to share. If I had been more hungry, the S'mores Churro looked decadent and delicious! Prices were reasonable, portions were perfect, and the entire experience was positive from start to finish. We cannot wait to go back to Corner Churro Cafe next time we are in town!

A decent little shop with a wide selection of bulk candy and chocolate. The prices seemed fair,…read morebut like any bulk candy store you have a shop smart. The one thing that stood out to me here was their business model. You aren't allowed to fill your own bags. As you browse you are approached and asked if you need a bag. If the answer is yes the helpers fill the bags for you. You tell them what you want and they get it out of the bulk bins. A little different than other bulk candy stores I've been in before where it's more of less self service. From a health and welfare standpoint I can respect this... From a control standpoint I really wasn't a fan. I want to have the bag in my hand. I know roughly how much a pound weighs in my own hand. It's hard to judge the weight when it's in someone else's.

From the moment we made our reservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating. By no means is this a typical "bring the kids" type of dining establishment, but sometimes parents just gotta do what they gotta do... and the staff at Fritz and Frites were truly so kind and accepting. The kids drew with crayons on the table paper cover and ate some delicious mac and cheese from the sides menu. They were as content as the adults were with their meals! Speaking of our meals, I ordered the Poulet Roti. An absolutely delicious roasted chicken dish, which I believe is the best chicken I've ever tasted! I can't wait for our next trip to Galena, just for another dinner at this wonderful place.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.

Our server was super kind and had been working there for years, so clearly they treat their staff well.

Highly recommend the steaks here - perfectly executed. The red wine blend was also a hit. We took desserts to go and enjoyed them at home very much.
