Garrison Coffee House — Restaurant in Clarinda

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!!! Christy offered wonderful Midwest charm. We came from all over the country with 60 guys into a small farm town. She usually operates her business for breakfast and lunch. We asked if she would serve us dinner after all day goose hunting. She obliged us and made 5 very delicious dinners that any foodie would appreciate. From brisket with baked beans, cornbread and a homemade honey butter to the most amazing apple pie with Carmel sauce. Another night was the best twice baked potato I have ever had with a pork tenderloin, a fresh roll and her “now” world famous honey butter(piped into a cute side dish) and a cherry pie. The insanely good steak chili with off the charts Mac n’ cheese and cornbread. The dessert that night was a homemade cinnamon roll with candied pecans. I have a very high expectation of the food I order. Christy exceeded all 60 guys expectations and then some. Her husband Peter had enough personality to fill the room. I love small towns because of people like these two. It could not of been better!! She offered to pack sack lunches and hot breakfast burritos for all the goose hunters last minute and did not disappoint. If this restaurant was in a big city, it would be very well renowned and hard to get reserved. We will all be back next year. Her waitresses were all true professionals and very good at offering as much small town charm as you could handle. We are so excited for the last night dinner. These people in Clarinda will make you want to move close to them. As good...

We were in town for Clarinda Band Jamboree and saw people walking out with coffee so of course we had to go check it out. Not only was their coffee delicious, there were so many flavor options to choose from, as well as, how you wanted it made {hot, iced, blended}.

We also decided to eat lunch there since the town was full of people for band. The food is simple and delicious. I cannot explain how wonderful it was. You can tell their food is made in house and not bought off a truck pre-made. The atmosphere was great, quiet, simple, and warm. If there was a big chair I could have curled up with a book and took a nap afterwards. This will definitely be our new spot when we visit Clarinda for anything...

Quaint, antique, turn of the century fantastic atmosphere the friendliest service in town. I was hankering for a cup of coffee and a good tasting scone and I noticed the coffee house sign on the outside Marquee.

As I entered through the door I could hear the clinking of dishes and the conversation and laughter of people already enjoying each other .

I strongly believe that you will too so the next time that you're in clarenda Iowa I strongly recommend a suggest that you stop here for a great bite to eat and excellent cup of coffee and whatever else that you would need . Until next time this is Joe Nader signing off and wishing you a...
