Brewed Awakening — Restaurant in Avoca

Wanted some coffee on the road between Omaha and Des Moines. Searched for coffee along my route and saw Barley and Beans, and had to take a look. It’s tucked away in Avoca but very easy to get to from 80.

Worth the stop! Menu has something for everyone, from regular drip to espresso drinks. Being on the road I didn’t want something huge so I got an 8 oz cappuccino. 10 pounds of flavor in a 5 pound bag! Very friendly staff too. Wish I’d been by later in the day /when I was done driving for the day, would have loved to stop for a beer or charcuterie plate.

It’s a well-thought out space with something for everyone....
