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 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.

Excellent gluten free bun with my sandwich and great potato salad. Much appreciated after a long day traveling. Our waiter, he goes to Luther, was so nice. TY

If you enjoy exploring interesting and regional ciders then this place is a ton of fun. Get a flight and check out the latest brews. Easy walking distance from downtown and outdoor seating if desired. The menu includes some gluten free options. The trout salad was excellent. After a long bike ride on nice spring day, this place hit the spot.

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!
