The ladies that work here are amazing. They are cheese all just stop by grab a cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. You will not be disappointed and they have a bunch of Koi fish and a little water fountain. It’s a cool little spot to stop on your long drive thank you ladies.
Phenomenal grilled cheese ($4.50 at time of writing) and tomato soup ($4). Beautiful setting with fountains, farm animals you can buy feed for, friendly cats and staff. Gift shop is thoughtfully stocked with very cute Christmas and local goods. Would recommend this rest stop!
Always great to stop in, taste all the different free samples. Best gouda cheese I've ever had. They also make awesome grilled cheese with Gouda for a great snack when you're visiting. The grounds are always kept nice and a beautiful place to visit.
