We stopped by on our way through eastern Iowa to look through their cool museum packed with local history. The owners were working when we stopped in. The gentleman was dressed in a bowtie and took the time to share some history with us. It also looks like the local coffee club meets there in the morning, at least on the Friday we went. Their menu is mostly focused on drinks, ice cream, and a few sandwiches, but we just looked around and did not purchase anything this time due to the morning hour. Trying some fun drinks or ice cream is on the bucket list for next time.

What an amazing location… The staff are super friendly and treat you like family and it’s as if you are stepping back 100 years in time… Absolutely worth checking out and prices were very reasonable also

My family is on vacation and I thought we should get a treat. Red river soda was great. Someone got a chocolate malt with Carmel and was awesome. I think one was a green soda float and my wife always gets chocolate ice cream with marshmallow creme.

It is a really cool place to go in the summer for a good soda or ice cream. It has candy to lunch it has some cool knickknacks in the back of the store. Overall it’s an amazing little place in town.
