I love it here. I adore it, I can only imagine how beautiful the view is come summer. Stopped by for lunch with some co-workers and fell in absolute love with the creaky coziness of a historic building, the huge windows toward the back looking out over the lake and a very nice green space for sitting outside once warmth comes calling again. I can only imagine early morning coffee sipped here mid July when even the dead of winter is inviting.
The food was perfect! I ordered the smoked chicken sandwich with cheddar and cherry cranberry chutney with a side of greens. Easily one of the best tasting sandwiches I've had. This coffee house works with Pecatonica Valley Farms. The smoked chicken is from the Carr family, And the barista left a panda bear in the foam of my delicious mocha (coffee supplied by True coffee roaster) complete with a bamboo branch and leaves on the side! I wanted to take a picture but I refrained given my co-workers don't fully know my crazy. I could easily get lost in a book in this cafe.
I was impressed.
