It was clean and simple inside with an exceptionally friendly staff. We ordered at the counter and the chocolate and twist cones were delicious and affordable at $2 each. The menu looked as expected with a variety of fried sandwiches and apps, and a few salads. Prices were reasonable. Hours are limited, closing at 7 pm for dinner, 3:00 on Saturday and closed on Sundays. It is definitely a place to return to and will be worth planning ahead to make sure to get there before 7 pm.

We stumbled across this place when looking for dessert options in Joplin. We did see one review…read moreprior to stopping by that made us wonder if the other reviews were up to date. Unfortunately, we found that the latest review was accurate, the others are not. It appears they renamed this place "Caroline's", possibly. There were not 30+ flavors of ice cream, and the few they did have sadly appeared freezer burned. The coffee set up looked nothing like earlier photos with tons of flavor options. Half the place is a small boutique? The employee was kind.

We have been here twice through the years and enjoyed it. Today, on our third visit, the place had…read morechanged drastically. Instead of candy and a large selection of ice cream, they had boutiques goods, zero candy, and only 8 flavors of ice cream. The ice cream tasted freezer burned. Our children were thirsty (it's almost 90 degrees out) and wanted cups of water to go along with their ice cream but they had no cups. We had to leave and go to a fast food restaurant to get them some water. Before we could leave, a worker rudely accused our five year old of putting his mouth on a notepad that was for sale. We were all watching him and multiple adults never saw him put the notepad anywhere near his mouth. All in all, a very disappointing experience. If you want a sweet treat, go somewhere else.

We stopped here as a matter of convenience as we checked out. There was only one employee. However she was very nice and efficient as well. They offer a variety of baked goods (such as muffins) as well as prepped breakfast burritos and sandwiches (which they heat for you). The coffee choices were pretty simple, but each drink was prepared to order. My hot vanilla latte was one of the better ones I've had recently. I was impressed with my visit here and will be more than happy to return the next time I'm at the casino.

I live in town and eat here weekly. I can't say enough good things about this place. Is it five…read morestar food...no. Is it really good, yes! I haven't eaten anything here I don't like. Their breakfast is as good as it gets when it comes to cafe food. Their meatloaf is some of the best I've had to be honest. I love their homemade hot rolls they serve with the meatloaf. The hamburger steak is one of my favorites. Their green beans are ok. Probably their weakest side. Their country potatoes are among my favorites. The service is always good. The ladies there work hard and know their customers. It's loud when full of customers, but hey..at least they are busy. It's always clean and they are friendly. Obviously I love this place. If you want great cafe food, then just eat here. Oh, give their baked goods a try. You'll thank me later. :-)

Don't get me wrong the biscuits and gravy were very good, I just needed something sweet after the awesome home style breakfast. Would definitely come back.

The space itself is a clever reuse of a former gas station, fitting since we're just off the Mother Road, Route 66. That history adds a nice layer of character to the industrial‑but‑comfortable setting, with plenty of seating for both solo workers and small groups. I was the first customer through the door this morning and ordered a cortado. It was perfectly prepared: served in the proper short glass, accompanied by a small glass of seltzer as tradition dictates. I set up my laptop at a two‑top table right by a power outlet and settled in for two very pleasant hours. Between the thoughtful service, the quality of the coffee, and the inviting atmosphere, Zinc Coffee made working on the road feel easy. Five stars, without hesitation.
