You can tell it the original one, as it's small and a little dated compared to the others that are near. But it's kinda cozy. We sat at the bar, and that's where they excelled. Our bartender Hallie, was fantastic! Best one we have had in a long time. Super nice, super informative. I had the Margherita Pizza, never have had one at a B.G. It was ok. Very saucy. Husband had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Korean BBQ sauce. He has gotten that at the others and enjoys that sandwich a lot especially that sauce.

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW…read more The owner does note that this place is not safe for those with cross contamination / celiac and unfortunately I did take the risk and don't feel great after. I got the GF pancakes and asked for them to be cooked in a separate pan, explaining I had celiac / a gluten allergy. They nodded like that was possible but I did still get sick. If you're not celiac, they're great! Lots of naturally GF options, just not GF and safe from cross-contamination. No separate fryer or cook space on the grill.

Tucked away in a charming small town off I-80 in Iowa, this coffee shop is a gem. The beautifully renovated historic building adds to its warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to recharge, whether you're grabbing a quick cup or settling in for a break. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they made me a fantastic Americano--my go-to order since it delivers a consistently bold espresso experience without the variability of drip coffee. If you find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and make the stop. It's well worth it!

Here were my thoughts: Food/Drink: Breakfast Sammy (Small portion but big taste. Not the best breakfast I've ever had yet well above the worst! The aioli knocked my rating up a a point or two for sure. Rating = 7.7/10). Iced vanilla latte (Rock solid latte. It was exactly what I needed to start my week. Nothing flashy but man did that cup get the job done today. Rating = 7.8/10). Service: Nothing to complain about. Drink and food came out quick and accurately. Ambiance: The shop was pretty quiet on this particular morning. I could definitely picture it as a great place to read a book, lock in to some work, or hang out with friends. Overall, this is a great place to get your caffeine fix in the Iowa River Landing area. Also note - this local chain of coffee shops was formerly named "Coffee Emporium" but recently rebranded to "Midnight Coffee" earlier this year.
