Swallow Coffeehouse

Hands down my favorite coffee shop! There’s something so magical about the vibe there, especially when owners Kelly or Tony are working. All the other employees are fantastic too. There’s a ton of syrup options. There’s smoothies, hot chocolate and lemonade and frappes for the non-coffee crowd. They’ve been offering more options with muffins/cupcakes/dessert breads as well as fresh cooked breakfast & lunch sandwiches and salads on certain days/times. The cinnamon & Carmel rolls on the weekends are AMAZING. There’s also a big section of gift items and Swallow merch! Check out the schedule for live music events! Oh, and they even offer adult beverages and things like Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas! Check their Facebook page or Instagram for updates on hours, just in case but they’re usually open nice and early and usually stay open through the day till like 5!

So happy to have a great coffee shop here in town! I love their Father Goose bagel and was happy to see they make flat whites to remind me of home! Plus lovely atmosphere and good service = 5 stars from me x

Cesar and I stopped for coffee ☕. We both had an enormous blueberry muffin, I had a shot of hazelnut in my coffee. It was delicious, the place was awesome lots of characters. Highly recommend stopping by to get some Java and see Kelly and her staff. Prices are amazing, too low to even call reasonable.

This is a very nice, comfortable coffee shop. I had a breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. I also appreciate the free coffee refills. Worth your time to check out.

I love coffee shops, and this is perhaps the sweetest, coziest, kindest cafe ever! We ordered espresso, pastries, and a smoothie… and they were absolutely delicious! But, my favorite thing about Swallow Coffeehouse is the vibe. It’s so cozy, so stylish, so welcoming, and behind every corner or doorway is another cool piece of art, sitting area, or aesthetic.

Thank you for being such a wonderful oasis!

I’m obsessed with Swallow Coffee Shop. The barista was very kind and helpful, and her drink recommendation was spot on. I loved the iced latte with oat milk, vanilla bean, and an extra shot. I will absolutely be back next time I’m in town!

I think this place could be great for the community. However if they plan to keep that place going they may want to train themselves on how to properly make popular coffee drinks. The drinks are not properly made. I go to a coffee shop literally every morning so a latte shouldn't be hard to make. They poured something labeled "iced coffee" from a pitcher into my hot latte. When I asked why they did that vs giving me a fresh brewed shot of espresso which it calls for they stated "we brew espresso in a large batch in the morning "😳 I will drive to Albert lea from now on or mason city just to have it made correctly

This was the kind of place I was hoping would come to Lake Mills. I enjoy coming here to have some coffee while I do some writing and studying. It's also a great place to visit over some coffee. It has a great atmosphere. There is a play corner to keep the kids occupied. The coffee is good, and there is a host of other options on the menu.

Chabby chic decor. Items for sale. Cute area for kids to hang out.
Between the 2 of us, 2 coffees and 1 muffin for $16.00. Thus making the prices comparable to name brand coffee houses except the coffee didn't compare.

My wife and I were passing through town on our way to visit relatives. I desperate need for coffee, my wife saw Swallow just a bit off our route. I never dreamed the detour would lead to such great hospitality, great atmosphere, great coffee for my wife, and hands down the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Who would have thought in such a short time Tony and Kelly would become lifelong friends. Great to meet you guys!
