Join me at The Fruited Plain Cafe'

I am not a restaurant reviewer (although I do think that would be a fabulous job...eat all kinds of delicious meals and then write about them....I should look into that.)  But I feel moved to review a new coffee shop and wine bar that recently opened in Sioux Center, IA.

From the moment you walk in the door you feel like you are wrapped in your favorite comfortable blanket -- and that's a high compliment when you are enduring a never-ending, mid-west winter.  The Fruited Plain Cafe' welcomes you with the aroma of coffee, rich wood floors, soft lighting...all creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.  You feel as if you have entered a quaint neighborhood bistro nestled in an eclectic corner of some big city.

And if you want a latte' to-die-for, this is the place to come.  The owner spent time in the Netherlands and Annapolis, Maryland and has learned a thing or two about brewing the perfect cup of joe.

But that's not all ... it's also a wine bar.  Serving a great variety of wines for any budget.

Ohhh...who am I kidding -- I am not a restaurant reviewer, and I am certainly not unbiased.  Most of you know, this fabulous little joint which just opened three weeks ago is owned by my sister, Becca and her husband, Laremy.  I am so proud of them for following their dreams & creating this "shop" out of an old auto parts store.  And here they are:

My beautiful baby sister...

 

her husband...

and their baby -- drinking her "prickly". (She already has high-class taste in water.)

It truly is a wonderful place and if you find yourself in Sioux Center -- stop by!
