I had tired of expressways and spent the day on state and county highways. I was getting hungry and happened upon K-18 Cafe. The lovely Keera (not a typo) was my server. The chicken fried steak was great and drowning gravy. I added quite a bit of pepper to remind me of home. I ordered a slice of homemade peach pie for the road and enjoyed it two hours later at my gas stop.

Absolutely everything you'd expect a roadside cafe to be. Do not skip the Apple Pie AlaMode!read more

I wish they had speciality coffees but they didn't so you had to kind of make your own. I just got a latte with vanilla and it wasn't the best one I had but wasn't terrible so that's why I gave it a 3 but I didn't even finish half of it. I would pass on coming here again.

We started off at the coffee shop downstairs--my husband got an iced mocha and I had the blended…read moreJava chip coffee. The iced mocha was really good, a solid 7/10. The Java chip, though, was a letdown. It was advertised as a blended coffee, but it had zero coffee flavor. I ended up ordering a shot of espresso to add to it, which helped a bit. Without the shot, I'd give it a 3/10--with the shot, maybe a 5/10. After that, we headed upstairs to the brewery. The friends we were with were impressed by the huge selection of beers, ciders, and wines on tap. I ordered the margherita flatbread and oh my god--so freaking good. 10/10, no question. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Everyone else was happy with their food too, and our server was super friendly and really attentive. Overall, great vibes, great service, and that flatbread was the star of the show!

I ordered a pumpkin spice chai tea. Absolutely delicious!!! My husband got just regular black coffee and thought it was a bit weak for his taste. The man behind counter was very responsive to questions. The gal that checked us out was maybe new because she appeared to still be working on service skills. This place is a little more than 2 miles off highway 70 as general fyi. The signage for this place is kinda small- the name is written on the window but not on the awning over it. Plus it shares space with some kind of little store which I would have loved to look around but they were closed. Probably saved me money and time!
