The Brim Coffeehouse
Coffee shop
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Made a stop in Elkader on a school field trip from Iowa State, and ate at Brim for lunch. Quick service, and very kind environment. My friend accidentally spilled her coffee, and they were so quick to clean it and even made her a new cup free of charge!! I love hidden gems, and this is certainly one...

Quilt shop
🫀 Used to love to visit this shop as I love to stitch and quilt. Today, we were not greeted with the normal warm greeting. Was sent to another business to use their restroom, which we needed after traveling to visit this store. They do have washrooms, as we have used them in previous visits. Because o...

Bakery
πŸ‘πŸ‘ This is a wonderful family bakery. I drove over to Elkader Iowa for buns and cookies for my daughters open house. I was really impressed by the quality and flavor of their baked goods. I wondered why I had to drive a 60 mile trip to pick up rolls??? They were amazing and well worth it. If you are...

George Maier Rural Heritage Center and Museum
Museum
πŸ‘ This place is a little hard to describe. It's sort of like a museum, but it's also sort of like going to Grandma and Grandpa's house and snooping around in their basement, attic or garage. Apparently George Msier liked to collect things, spent a very long lifetime collecting things, and at some poin...
