Charming little place I stopped in on the way to Galena. Delicious food(I had the chicken salad sandwich, which was extremely fresh and savory) accompanied with a signature mocha called Santa’s Cherry Cheeks, which featured cherry syrup and white chocolate). The service was warm and friendly, with a great variety of music offering a casual and comfortable atmosphere. A terrific little gem in E Town.

Like many of their clientele, we are Chicagoans that stopped in on our way back to the city after a weekend in Galena. I always love finding a cute, delicious little sweet spot in random neighborhoods and small towns, and this one did not disappoint. The place is clean, cute, and the perfect balance of shabby chic with a fresh café vibe. My mocha was delicious, as was my breakfast wrap and the sugar cookies I purchased. The cashier and the other 2 ladies working there were super friendly and had great big smiles on their faces. Enough said. Definitely worth a stop while exploring that region of the state.

I stopped at E-Town with a lunch hunger and because they had a sign outside advertising a delicious-sounding pannini: Turkey, artichoke and swiss cheese. I entered a spacious and clean and rustic space, placed my order at the counter, and had that pannini with chips and a cup of fresh java, all for about $ 8.00. The sandwich was hot, fresh and delicious, with the nice surprise of added fresh spinach. E-Town is an inviting and friendly place, with a great menu and a large choice of pannini, salads and ice cream. Make it your lunch spot after you visit the Apple River Fort.

The food here is a bit above average. Truth be told I’ve never had anything here that I didn’t like, from the coffee to the sandwiches to the baked goods. Everything is always well prepared with good ingredients and attention to detail. The service is what really bumps E-Town up to 4 stars. It’s probably the friendliest in Jo Daviess County. It seems they know everyone by name. They’re always cheerful and chatty. Even though it looks more like an urban coffeehouse, it has the charm of an old-school country diner. OK, why don’t I just go ahead and say E-Town is the best place in the area to meet people for lunch. Or to stop in for lunch. Or to get your morning coffee. Good food, warm and friendly staff, good vibe. Just stop in there for food so they can stay in business a good long time.

Stopped in here on my way to Galena a few weeks ago and loved it! I dropped by mid-Saturday afternoon, and the place was dead. A latte and an iced coffee for us cost about $ 5.50 which I found extremely reasonable. There is lots of seating in the shop, and cute décor that included local photographs that were for sale. I’m perplexed as to why the shop isn’t open on Sundays, as it seems like they would really clean up with all of the Chicago folk heading back home after their weekends in the country…
