Crumpet's

Definitely a unique place--never been anywhere else quite like it.

I've wandered in here twice: once for an early weekday luncheon, and once at around 11 on a weekend. There were very few others in the restaurant either time, but that might just have been because I was there pretty early for lunch.

The menu is pretty limited--just a bunch of simple sandwiches and stuff, but they do have some good homemade soup and plenty of desserts. Plus of course their coffees and teas. I tried a wonderful amaretto-flavored coffee while I was there. It was very aromatic and tasty!

I'm not really the target demographic here--everything is old-fashioned and full of pink and lace--but the service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the snacks are good, so I certainly can't complain. I could see bringing a friend or two here for a long chat--especially on a cold winter day.

A neat stop if you're looking for a bite to eat and a unique atmosphere.

We just discovered this place, and it is simply wonderful!!  My husband and I had lunch -- so guys, come along with your ladies.  You will love the sandwiches AND desserts.  My guy raved about his whole meal and has already said we will be coming back soon.

We discovered a rare find in the small town on Genoa. Crumpets is located just a few doors down from Prairie State Winery. I had noticed this restaurant several times while passing thru town and finally decided it was time to have lunch there. I made lunch reservations and was glad I did because the place was packed for a Saturday afternoon.  It was just the perfect place for tea and sandwiches with my mother and mother in law.  The decor is adorable and food quite good and reasonable.  A perfect place to meet with the girls after shopping at the winery.  Worth the trip if you are in the Dekalb area, but highly recommend reservations for the weekend.
