In addition to the delicious hot and cold specialty drinks, LCC offers a variety of pastries for you to grab and go. My experience was a black drip coffee and a blueberry scone. Both were so good, I stopped by on my way out of Ely, for one more fix. With everyone in our group being from IL and one being a graduate of U of I, we were impressed that the owner was a graduate of U of I, too.

Fabulous internet cafe in Ely. I spent time here one morning while my female cousins were getting…read moremassages at Pebble Spa and again later in the week when we all were doing laundry at Ely Speed Wash across the street. My first visit I enjoyed a house baked scone and the second visit I tried one of their breakfast burritos. Both were good choices, but if I had to repeat, I'd go with another scone. On their menu, they also offer quiche, muffins and a variety of danish. The coffee is self-serve once you order and they give you two regular and one decaf to choose from. If you add sugar to your coffee, they had the real thing, plus raw sugar and a rainbow of artificial sugars to choose from. I got a grin that the ice cream they offer was a small town company back home in Illinois. They serve, Prairie Farms. Which is based in, Carlinville, Illinois. It was nice to see that they support a farmer owned company. Front Porch does have a fabulous porch that almost wraps around the entire building. It is great for relaxing on a beautiful day. Pets are welcome with well behaved owners. Only thing that disappointed me was, I did not visit them on a Monday. Monday is the day, Seniors get a 10% discount and we all like to save. Staff was what you'd expect from a small town coffee shop, it was extremely friendly. Everyone knew each other, yet they made out-of-town folks feel welcomed as well.

Orr, MN population: 249 Grocery stores: 1 - this one…read more What you can find in this grocery store: - Fast food corner (pizza looks like it's been under the heat lamp for days...better avoid!) - DVD and VHS rental (yes, they still have VHS tapes...) - Anything prepackaged and unhealthy (chips and dips of all sorts) - Bait and tackle (with 10 lakes in the radius of 20 miles around this store, this is a must! maybe they should reconsider having the live worm tank right next to the ice cream freezer box...just saying) Be prepared to spend about 20 minutes at the cash register getting updated on all the town's gossip. Examples of previous conversation included, but were not limited to the following: -so and so's grandpa got the hemorrhoids again because he spent 10 hours straight sitting on a frozen log calling for moose -the other cashier's son just came back injured from Iraq only to find his wife knocked up in her 8th month (he was gone 9 months without visits, but he's not very good at math, so he hasn't figured it out yet) This store contributed to me gaining about 5 pounds in 3 months, hence only 3 stars. Get some veggies!

Perfect breakfast. Stopped in while driving through on a road trip to Canada and it didn't…read moredisappoint. It's a lovely old building with a simple clean and pleasant dining area. Simple menu with standard breakfast items plus a couple neat specials. Today they had apple bread French toast and triple berry cheescake waffles. I had the "Loaded Scrambled Eggs" with a side of hash browns. I chose sausage, jalepeno, and onions in the eggs with pepper jack cheese. Cam with two huge slices of sourdough. It was perfect. Not much else to say. The hash browns were done exactly they way inoooe them. Nice and crispy without being burnt. And our food arrived about five minutes after we ordered. If you're driving through, stop. For sure.

My veggie wrap was really, really good (and I'm not really a veggie guy). I liked the free re-fill on most drinks. The sweet potato fries were top-notch. I also had a cup of their red lentil soup-of-the-day, which, again, was fantastic. Our waitress was attentive and patient. What a great experience.
