You walk in to see a counter with seating for four people, high back, swivel chairs. There's a…read morediner menu letter board up on the wall, yellow with age, announcing the flavors of milkshakes and ice cream. It's from the 60s and probably hasn't changed since they put it up 65 years ago. There's a whiteboard on the back wall with the special for the day written out. Bacon egg and cheese omelette or a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on toast. Five dollars. The kind of place with a few locals sitting at a booth having their morning coffee, one of the waitresses offering Jim the last donut because they know he will want it. He accepts it. This is, in my mind, a classic American small town diner. The kind of place I grew up, eating in my hometown of 500 people. It's not high cuisine, there's nothing fancy about the food although I did come across a few things I had never seen before on the menu. Fried mush. Meat grits specials, like the scuttle butt and the chili Bob. An age old, but perfected recipe of eggs, meat, cheese, and a starch either potatoes ( homefries) or toast. The coffee is weak and not much flavor to it but, to be honest, it's exactly what you would expect in a place like this and there's something comforting about that. Honest, simple food made day and a day out, catering to the local crowd and a few roadway, travelers like myself who happen to come across it. There's a certain charm and depth to places like this that have been lived in day and day out by the same people for decades. For those like up rounded, there's the nostalgia and connection to the many other people having the same experience day after day in communities across the United States. Forgive me if I wax nostalgia can get a little sentimental here, but this morning's dining experience definitely elicited that for me. I hope you can find your own version of this sometime today or in the near future.

It's soo thick and gooey, especially if you ask to have them warmed up. Everything and more that you can get at a coffee shop including gifts and sometimes local artisans have their items here as well. (Sourdough, kettle corn, etc) The workers are all extremely friendly and the interior has a great amount of seating with a rustic farmhouse feel including an outdoor patio with plenty of space to sit and enjoy your coffee, matcha, food, etc and friends company! There is even coloring books, and a coffee shop for kids to play with and stay entertained. 10/10

If you're looking for a scenic drive off of I-75 for a break and good food & coffee, only 30 miles West between Dayton and Lima. The service is local and friendly, efficient but warm and gets you what you need. The building is a recycled bank branch but is comfortable and cosy. Baked goods, sandwiches, soups and definitely the coffee are worth seeking out! I always find an excuse to stop by here when doing business or visiting family in West, Central Ohio! Highly recommend!

This is not a place to sit down for a nice dinner nor a place to expect consistent service from the waiters but a run through lunch through the week is more the vibe.
