Not a sit-down cafe type of place. Just walk in and get the goodies! Seriously the best danish ever. Highly recommend anything in the donut/danish family. Small, non-chain bakery. Cute frosted cookies for the kids. Eclairs & mini eclairs also very yummy.

The Illinois Prairie Path system passes right by our house - just one block over to Vance St and you'll find a trail access point. This path is simply awesome for walking, running, and biking. Walk a couple miles, or cycle 50+! You'll find lovely small towns along the way, or connect to the Great Western Trail as well. Terrific starting point to explore the woodsy western suburbs and open spaces.
