If you are looking for a relaxed comfortable environment to enjoy a good cup of coffee or a special lunch, you've come to the right place. Enjoy an uptown atmosphere in a small town setting. Located on the main street of Garner, Iowa, those who find us enjoy delicious, healthy food prepared with the finest ingredients possible.

We have an extensive menu of signature sandwiches and salads. A different soup is prepared in our kitchen daily. Our gourmet desserts oft times include a "diabetic friendly", selection. And our full espresso bar includes a pluthera of sugar free flavors.

We care about our customers and because, as they say, "you are what you eat" so we want you to eat right, eat healthy, and keep coming back for more. Preservatives are kept to a minimum. Our deli meats are all top quality, full muscle. We now feature Niman Ranch Ham--delicious, antibotic free. You won't find any pressed or formed meats in your turkey, beef or ham sandwich from the American Espresso Coffee Cafe. There's no room for mediocracy here.
