Yellow Moon Cafe

This place is a gem of a find. Any big city foodie traveling in the area WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!  We visited with our two kids (2 and 5) and we had a great time. I loved the spinach salad, my daughter devoured the ham and cheese without coming up for air and my husband really enjoyed the Mediterranean flatbread.

Great sandwiches and really wonderful, friendly people.  This is the type of place I would go to every day if I lived in the area.

The Yellowmoon Cafe is a great find in tiny Cobden, IL.  We came in on a Saturday night after doing the Shawnee Wine trail, and it was nice to be able to buy a glass of wine that wasn't made in the area (we weren't impressed, especially by the dry wines, which we prefer).  

The server was very friendly and attentive.  The choices are written on a blackboard, which was too far away for me to read.  I had no idea how much anything cost when we ordered.  I guess I could have asked, but I correctly assumed the prices were very reasonable.   For entrees, We had the meatloaf and grilled tuna salad.  Both were pretty good, not great.  For dessert, we shared a piece of German Chocolate cake, which we were told was made by local Amish bakers.  It was also good, not great.

The laid back atmosphere is what made it fun, really.  Kind of an old hippie vibe.  The rare restaurant that can get by serving breakfast or dinner.  It's definitely a good bet for dinner if you're on the wine trail or staying nearby.  Probably also good for lunch if you're passing through.
