We had croissant sandwiches with chicken salad mixes in the middle that were awesome. They made a lemon orzo pasta and cucumber dish with scotcheroos and cookies and a charcuterie board. We came for a private event so i'm assuming these aren't typically on the menu, however the bakery made all the food for us and if their menu tastes anything like that, i'm assuming it's wonderful! The team was super kind and considerate and everyone was going back for seconds and thirds of coffee. They have a beautiful back patio to sit on and the whole place just gave such a feeling of home and warmth. 10/10 recommend!

We did a tour of the Templeton Rye (TR) Distillery and needed some lunch before hitting the road. It is conveniently located nearby TR, you have to drive by it to get to TR (coming from the south). The waitress said they serve breakfast all the time and that it's a local fav. However, I saw pork tenderloin and my decision was made. Customized toppings come on the side - I got pickles and onions. Condiments are on the table. The tenderloin was really thick, as was the breading. The tenderloin is bigger than the bun! It was a lot so I tossed about a 1/4 of my sandwich into a box and stuck it in the cooler for leftovers. The tenderloin was good, not the best I've had, but definitely you get your money's worth for under $7! Staff was friendly and she kindly split up the bills for our group.

I was startled when I picked it up to go and it was forty dollars for two skillets, an egg, two eggs, and bacon. I would not have ordered some items if I knew the correct prices.

Service was good, but would like updated prices so I can order accordingly.

Looking for a place to grab lunch while doing my civic duty I came across Petite Cafe…read more What a hidden gem of a coffee shop. I am going to say the gals name at the front was Sasha and I loved her warm welcoming energy. I got a mocha latte and it was gorgeous. The flavor was fantastic. I need a larger size of this next time. Loved the foam and deep mocha flavor was phenomenal. Made my lunch trip worth it and I knew then that the food was going to hit well. I got the BLTA and added the chicken after asking Sasha about it. She suggested adding the spicy mayo and the suggestion was spot on. What a delightful sandwich. The sourdough had a hard crust but a soft center toasted to perfection. The creamy avocado was velvet smooth mixed with the spicy mayo, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, crispy smoky bacon, and the tender chicken was incredible flavor that left you satisfied. Just a wonderful lunch experience and then the bells starting playing the star spangled banner. Listen to my video, sorry it's short I didn't want to accidentally record someone. I feel like Sasha should have given a warning about how addictive this was, but then in away she had. She mentioned there can be a long line in the morning and I can see why that would be. I can't wait to go back and get this sandwich again. I would recommend her suggestion on the spicy mayo. Chocolate & Caramel Chunk Cookie with Sea Salt. Oh my goodness don't sleep on this cookie. Crisp edge with nice chunks of chocolate and caramel and the salt just sends it next level. Feel like I need this in a brown butter version as well. This was the trifecta of lunch- Latte, Sandwich, and Cookie. Made doing my civic duty a little better because now I had a solid lunch option and a reason to go back. I also need to try a scone when I return. I also learned they have a chicken salad sandwich on croissant so now I am trying to make it back so I can sample that. There are some really good options on the menu and they have local coffee plus everything you would expect in a gem of a coffee shop. The service was stellar and the vibe was warm and welcoming. Got a cookie for my lady so $32 I believe with $5 tip and the chicken is worth the add on. A great value for lunch with quality fresh ingredients and the cookie is large.

Whether you're local or passing through, Downtowner is a must-try. We'll definitely be back for more!

Walked into the Downtowner around 8am on Saturday and the place was filled, which after talking to…read morethe waitress was normal. I just needed to put in an order to go for my mom and I before she put me to work at her office, helping her organize. She sent me on a mission for snapple diet peach tea (from the grocery store) and breakfast from here. She told me she wanted the omelette with gravy on it. So with my mission started I grabbed the tea from hyvee then headed to the downtowner. So the downtowner is on chesnut, which is like Atlantics main street area. Its cute, chic, and has the old buildings all along the street. It was easy to find parking, most everything on chestnut is closed at 8am. So it was easy to tell where the downtowner was if you didnt know where to find it. The downtowner is on the main floor of an apartment building. This apartment building looks like a 1920s hotel. The building has been taken care of and still looks like it has all of the accents. Right in the doorway of the downtowner is their daily special, and their coffee bean rug. A waitress came right up to me and asked what I would like. I told her I needed a minute though. I had never been there before but my mom had. It took me all of 4 minutes to decide and the waitress was right there to take my order. She said it would be about 15 minutes because the hashbrowns take longer. My mom wanted the downtowner omelette and I ordered the vegetatarian omelette. Both come with a side of hashbrowns and toast. We both got cheese on our hashbrowns. I told her I would wait outside the door since it was busy and there was a bench that looks like it was a church pew at one time. It took exactly 15 minutes to cook and put everything together and the waitress brought it right out to me. I paid and the total was around $18 so worth it and very comparable to Palmers breakfast on Ingersoll. The waitress even added jelly packets to the order which I was grateful for since I forgot to grab them from a table on my way out. My only dislike is that they buttered both sets of toast after they had cooled down so the butter did not really melt on it. The downtowner is also one of the few places in town that caters. If you want good food. Order from here for catering. The service staff is great, friendly, and on time. My mom has had the downtowner and hyvee both cater, and the downtowner won hands down, and I dont just mean for taste or quality of food
