The inside is on the smaller side and they don't have any places to sit. It's more of a get your goods and go type of place. I'm rating this a 4 star bc of the service. I might not be as educated on what makes a truffle a truffle and the reaction I got from asking the staff member that was not the greatest. This can get pricey but I meannnn, it's so good so treat thyself =)

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.

Klein's Market is one of the favorites to get some locally made products. An okay amount to choose from. The prices are okay for quality. Also happens to be like a store for clothing and crafts. Its main focus though is on the baked goods. There's a shelf on the wall that has the freshly baked items like breads, cookies, and more. A lot to choose from. It's about $4 to get a mini loaf. These sweets like banana bread, which is okay. Most items are made with butter or eggs. The one without these is the chocolate loaf. A great option at breakfast. There's also plenty of sweets. Charming place where it's all baked fresh. It's open in the mornings until after lunch. There's coffee beans along with breads, cookies, and other things.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!
