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!

We sampled the combo , which had two churros and a dipping sauce and added an iced pistachio coffee. The churros and the dipping sauce were absolutely incredible. One of the best churros I have ever tasted. They have numerous flavor options for the churros.And also many different kinds of dipping sauce , it made it hard to choose. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They paused to let me take some photos.And also showed me their quick efficient process of making the churros fresh to order. There's plenty of tables inside the cafe to sit down and enjoy your order. It's also air conditioned , in case you're trying to get out of the heat and looking for some shade. I\nHighly recommend this small , reasonably priced establishment.

Corner Churro Cafe is your new destination for high quality coffee and delicious churro desserts! With great indoor seating and outdoor seating, you can come as an individual or as a group. The shop is open, spacious, and clean. They had adorable decorations ready for the upcoming Halloween holiday. The staff are friendly and helpful. Given the expansive menu, they are happy to answer questions about the different options. I got a basic black cold brew and my husband got the hazelnut latte iced. We both loved our drinks and got our caffeine fix for our drive home. For a snack, we shared the "El traditional" churro, which comes with two regular cinnamon/sugar churros. It was perfect for us to share. If I had been more hungry, the S'mores Churro looked decadent and delicious! Prices were reasonable, portions were perfect, and the entire experience was positive from start to finish. We cannot wait to go back to Corner Churro Cafe next time we are in town!

Recently, some close friends, my wife and I drove over to Dubuque for a weekend getaway. We love…read morefarm-to-table restaurant concepts and in-city dining, so we thought Convivium would be an ideal spot to have breakfast on our first day in town. As great as this place could (if not should) be, it will never reach it's potential with the lousy customer service that we experienced. Why do I say this? Read on Yelper. We arrive for breakfast around 9:45 am on Saturday. There was a little bit of a line, which is to be expected at any well known breakfast/brunch establishment, right? The young lady working the register asked if we wanted to pick a table outside, handed us four menus and told us that someone would be out there to help us shortly. We sat at an empty, yet still dirty with plates from the last customers, table that was in the shade. Annnnnd we waited. As staff came out to attend to other customers sitting in the same patio area, the four of us sat there waiting for water, coffee, a smile... heck even an acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice. Seriously, if the Invisible Man was real and sitting at the table, he probably would have had a better chance of being noticed by the servers working that morning. We ended up busing our own table because no staff would bother to do it - I'm very serious. Nearly 20 minutes pass. As another couple comes into the patio, sits down and gets near immediate service with their drink orders, we had it! We entered the restaurant to find out what the problem is for such terrible service?!? The tall, head service member (did not catch her name) had an attitude for sure with her question "Did one of us seat you?" and we answered that "No, your host teammate told us to grab the table." She damn near rolled her eyes. Finally, lightening struck... someone showed up to give us water, wipe the table, and take our order. But don't get your hopes up that this was the end of bad service. Regrettably, it was not. We waited nearly 25 more minutes to get our order of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Tough order for a breakfast place, don'tcha think? Out comes the food... without utensils to eat with. 4 mins of watching your food get cold motivated us to good inside and get our own utensils. As we did, the head member walks out with the items. Now - let's shift to the one positive part of the experience and that of course is the food. To show you that I am a reasonable reviewer, I will tell you that the meal was very tasty, cooked to order, and satisfying (especially when you're starving!). When I said at the beginning that this place can be great, the food is the reason why. After a Friday night of fun, a place like Convivium is just what you want for a Saturday breakfast before an afternoon of NCAA College Football - you know what I mean? But until management decides to hold the staff accountable for this terrible customer service, Convivium will be closed in less than 5 years (my prediction). Read some of the other reviews... we share the same general opinion. And this is coming from someone that values restaurant concepts like this one. Get it together before its too late, Convivium.
