This is another wood-fired oven and the pastries are delicious. I especially like the apricot scones. Go for a hike at the Carl Sandburg Home, where you can stop and see the goats, then reward yourself with coffee and a pastry when your done.

Authentic Southern Fried Chicken and Fixin's. Be careful, they mean it when they say hot, but don't forego any sauce or you'll get a pretty bland piece of chicken. Their sides are yummy and the deserts are crazy good.
