I requested a receipt, but unfortunately, I never received one. They mentioned that we should listen for our names when our food was ready, so I waited for about 30 minutes. When the last member of our party received their food and mine still hadn’t arrived, I inquired about it. The clerk informed me that someone else must have taken my sandwiches and that this happens regularly — but no one ever called out my name for the order. I expressed my concern about their food order system, and asked for a refund for my sandwich, though my wife still wanted hers. The staff was unhelpful, showing little sympathy or apology. I've lived in Chicago and St. Petersburg for most of my life, and I've never experienced anything like this before. Hermann, MO, is a lovely town with plenty of other great breakfast options. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant.

I couldn’t even finish the nitro cold brew I had from a nearby coffee shop because it was too bitter. Laine and her team were friendly and engaging. After asking for my order, I chose a Cubano — it had a bold coffee flavor, with a slight sweetness and creaminess. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering a second one, along with a homemade blueberry scone and Lorraine quiche. Both were outstanding. Meanwhile, my wife browsed the gift shop, and we left with a bag full of treats, including a pound of their house blend beans — my new favorite coffee. I’ll be ordering more soon. Make sure to visit Espresso Laine instead of that other place down the street; you might just find your new favorite cup of coffee here too.
