5 stars for the Cherry Valley Cafe…read more I really enjoyed this cute little neighborhood cafe. There is plenty of seating inside, and our waitress (I believe her name was Pam), was extremely friendly and provided quick and great service. I also got to meet the owner who was very nice. I tried the Mushroom & Swiss Omlette, which was fantastic. It went great with their local signature hot sauce, which had a nice smoky kind of taste to it and wasn't crazy spicy, perfect for breakfast. The prices are super reasonable as well. Overall, you should definitely support this small business and check out Cherry Valley Cafe - it's very close to the Hurricane Harbor Rockford water park if you're planning on going there in the summertime.

Delicious food, attentive service! Exactly what you'd expect in a small-town diner. I'll be back!read more

Cheddar broccoli soup was very good with the bread dunked in it. Salads were fine, they could add a crouton, but tomato was good & I really liked their French dressing. I had the seafood diavolo which was a little spicy but not that great. It had 3 large scallops that were delicious but I didn't really like their sauce. Shrimp were large but tough. My portion was smallish with not much pasta. Load up the inexpensive pasta please. Wife & 1 son had seafood Alfredo & they both liked it. Other Son ordered penne with Alfredo & added a meatball ( which wasn't that big for $4). He liked his All 3 other pasta dishes were a larger portion than mine. Pizza looked decent, maybe I'll try it if we come back. Bill was $140 b4 tip for 4 meals with no alcohol, no apps or desserts.

Amazingly, there aren't that many donut places in this general Rockford, Belvedere, Machesney, Park…read moreLoves Park, Caledonia area..... I went by around noon and almost all the donuts were gone (a good sign!) and there was still a line in the drive-through. Naturally, I was inside. I had a super puffy glazed doughnut. Had a pretty thick coating of glaze, but it needed it because the donut was so thick. Please see photo. The other doughnut was something called Butter Nutter or something and looked like a Butterfinger was smashed and put over the top of the donut. See photo. I worried that the super thick glazed donut was going to be raw because it was so enormous, but it was cooked well enough where it was fine. It's sort of a skin on it like a bagel. Tasted really good. The other doughnut was super super sweet like sugar on top of sugar. I wouldn't have normally ordered it, but they were out of everything else that I normally would order. Good but too sweet for me. Again it was fried crispy, which is how I liked donuts. The ambience is what you would expect in an old donut shop... comfortably worn... I'll be back when I need a doughnut in this area.. Bonus: They also had fresh unsweet tea, which is great!

It was so good and definitely will be coming back! Good spot to go if you have a sweet toothread more

Had a pretty okay lunch at this Mexican restaurant in Belvidere. It has a pretty nondescript…read morelocation on a dead end street to be honest. Taqueria El Torito is serious authentic stuff. A lot of the familiar items. You can even get exotic things like tripe if you like it meaty. Found out about it while looking up the Mexican restaurants around here. It's certainly got lots of competition to be sure. There's shit tons of these. A pretty boring place inside. Really not much of an atmosphere with it actually pretty quiet. Has no alcohol. It's about $3 to get the Jamaica. This is a hibiscus beverage that's good stuff. As for the food it's mostly authentic. It's about $12 for the Taco Salad. Choose a meat or get it with toppings that include avocado, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and more. The rest of the menu is meaty with animal parts such as tripe. Got a menu full of classics. It's located on North State Street at Old Beloit Road. There's a plaza behind the gas station and next to a laundromat that are things to look for because it's hard to find coming from wherever.

Stopped by Almoka and ended up trying a matcha pistachio drink. I wasn't sure what to expect, but…read moreit was really good. The matcha was smooth and not too earthy, and the pistachio flavor added just the right amount of sweetness without tasting artificial. The café itself has a nice atmosphere and felt like a great place to sit and catch up with a friend or get some work done. Everything looked clean and well put together, and the staff was friendly when taking my order. I appreciate when coffee shops offer unique drinks that are different from the usual menu, and this one definitely stood out. I'll be back to try some of their other specialty drinks next time I'm in the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the big chain coffee shops.
