Great ice cream, super-cool atmosphere! They have so many flavors to choose from, even dairy and gluten-free options! A very inviting place, and the antique decor makes me feel like I'm in an old-school diner. The line moves super quick, and I had the best milkshake of my life! I will definitely be coming here again. They even have another location on the Luther College campus that is open to the public that offers coffee, sandwiches, and ice cream! A hidden gem, for sure.

I LOVED this place! Such a mix of customers, from farmers to blue collar workers to college students to hippies. I so appreciated the many vegan options--very pleasantly surprised as the restaurant doesn't look like it would cater to vegans. Also gluten-free options! Fast, efficient, competent service. The place was packed on a Sunday morning. Also, where there was an option for a version of the dish without the meat, the price was lower, which is only fair, as you're getting less. Fancy restaurants like Rubaiyat in Decorah did NOT give me this option, despite me asking. The only thing they offered was to not charge me extra for the gluten-free version.

I would like to send a thank you to Becky for being such a caring person. I recently found out that I have celiac disease and was unsure what I could order to eat. Becky gave me several options, and went out of her way to come find me in the restaurant, sit down, and share a pamphlet with me on gluten free options. Thank you, Becky, you are a wonderful person.

We are always looking for restaurants that serve healthy real food that also offers gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options and this one is excellent. I loved the bowl I ordered: the perfect blend of ginger, peanut and cilantro atop rice with broccoli, pickled onions and shredded carrot with a flavorful sauce…yum. Our whole family enjoyed our meals. We also got cookies and my only regret is that I didn’t buy more. The GF ginger molasses one I got was so good. We live far away, but I will keep this on my list of places to return. If only all towns had a place like this! Thank you

Amazingly good food in a friendly atmosphere. Clearly labeled gluten free options too. Lots of focus on using local growers and suppliers, in addition to beer and cider on tap. It's a good idea to call ahead though since it can be busy. Enjoy!

My Pollo Asado and my friend's sopa tortilla were so delicious! Norma was our server, and not only was she delightful and kind, she was very efficient and knew what I needed when I said I couldn't have gluten. 😊 Can't wait to come back, and I hope when we do, we get to see Norma again!

Amazing drinks! They have a little something for everyone! Their energy drinks are amazing and I am a huge fan of the chai (especially with cold foam!) Very accommodating as well! I also love their food and how they have options for gluten free/dairy free as well! Overall, amazing!
