Main Street Coffee offers a lot more than coffee! Bring your kids for an afternoon treat! They offer ice cream (which are true works of art), milkshakes, and smoothies. I particularly appreciate the "kid size" options! They also have small snacks and treats available. I snagged some bite size cheesecake squares for an after dinner treat for mom & dad. They were perfect!
