At any rate, we were welcomed by a wonderful server, she was attentive and so nice. On a side note, she handed us the credit card machine to pay, and quickly walked away when we got to the tip screen to give us space without pressuring us. A nice reprieve in the current tipping culture:) But to the most important part - the bbq! Everything was absolutely delicious. I had chicken, husband had meatloaf. All of our side choices were so good. And they have a lovely patio too!

If I lived here, this would absolutely be my go to study/work spot. Oh and...teacher and student discounts!

Palermo's is a restaurant clearly in the early stages of development. Unfortunately when we went,…read morethey did not have any alcoholic beverages, which was strange since wine and Italian go hand-in-hand, no explanation given. Food-wise, it was unmemorable. Tour de Italy- Good presentation, the sauce was lacking in taste and texture, but the noodles that accompanied it were very good. Chicken was easily the best part and the lasagna was okay. If you enjoy meaty sweet lasagna, you will enjoy it. Chicken & Broccoli- It was yummy. Honestly do not regret going to Palermo's. It was a cool find. I believe there were around 2 other tables sat while we were there, with 2 cooks and 2 servers. Also I burnt my tongue, take that as you will. The food was hot.

Reserving our play time online was seamless; locals will appreciate the convenience of the app. The cafe owner, Angela, welcomed us warmly with an overview of the play space experience and seasonal menu items we could order, along with thoughtful questions like what brought us in and who I was meeting so she could connect us swiftly. My toddler went straight in to play, and who could blame her; this space is a mini wonderland! We came in the morning, and all the areas were intentionally staged and completely clean. The two hour time slot went by in a blink with all the imaginative play spaces to explore. On play breaks, my girl enjoyed the Tot Tray of fresh food options, an organic applesauce pouch and organic fruit bars, and mama savored a devine cup of Caramel Cloud with caramel made from scratch. Needless to say, the New Day Play Cafe will be a regular spot on our return visits to Emporia. This adorable stop is a Midwest gem!

The best part was the selection of local meats and cheeses. The pepperjack literally melted in my mouth, it was so creamy and delicious. There was a group of old men seated at the same table on both stops. Apparently it's the local hangout. And quirky weapons and incense for almost everyone. Can't wait til the next time I can experience that cheese.
