Caffeine & Carbs

Great design and the choices are terrific!! It is like stepping into a hallmark movie!! I am not a coffee drinker but the smell of the coffees and lattes are to die for. I love that it is family run ! The ladies are super sweet! So glad we stopped by today!

Best coffee and bake goods in the town. The ladies there as always so pleasant and happy!

Love this place for a sweet treat or coffee. Wonderful cookies and latte flavors.

We just discovered this place while driving Interstate 80 across Illinois. Espresso was very good and the desserts are outstanding. This is the largest selection of baked goods I’ve seen in any espresso shop and they looked and tasted excellent. The 6:00 pm closing is convenient for travelers and is the exception for hometown coffee shops.

I've been here multiple times and each time I'm so happy to the kind staff for always serving with a smile. The treats I've gotten has always been delicious and each time I've been I've had such a wide variety and always happy. There's a little bit of a wait and the foodstuff is a bit more expensive than McDonald's but you really can taste the quality of the treats.

Great stopping place right off the highway! Awesome treats, soups, and beverages

Stopped in on our way home. Definitely the place for something sweet and a very good cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly and kind. Good on you Illinois. Thank you C and C!

I have been here quite a few times and each time have tried something new. The baked goods are absolutely delicious. My very first visit I bought some red velvet cupcakes and they were the best red velvet cupcakes I had ever had. The energy jolts are just as good as the coffee. My kids also love everything they have had from there and always ask when I’m going back. I would highly recommend this place and have referred a few people already. Keep making amazing food.

So welcoming and absolutely adorable! My drink was made fast and it was delicious! Braista was so sweet and nice! definitely recommend!

I got a mocha once and it was solidified hot chocolate mixed with coffee, just displaced in this globulous plasma state that left a chalky taste in my mouth. I’d rather spend a dollar for a McDonald’s cup. The entire vibe of the place is a “live laugh love” poster made into an uncanny liminal space akin to Mark Zuckerberg’s bbq sauce in his meta advertisement. If you are made of condensed millennial extract you might think it’s charming. The local motive offers a classy experience with customer service and friendly faces.
