Fuel offers great coffee with a unique small-town atmosphere- a favorite of Rob's dad. One of Annabel and Rob's favorite Lisbon-area activities includes stopping at fuel for a cup of coffee and heading across the street to visit all of the sweet antique stores Mount Vernon has to offer.
If you are looking for breakfast in Cedar Rapids, Dash's coffee and breakfast sandwiches are unbeatable. It's rated a must-visit by Rob and Annabel.
Big Grove Brewery offers some of the best food in the Solon area (if you ask Annabel and Rob). We have yet to try something we didn't like. Check out Big Grove for lunch or dinner and enjoy delicious food and drinks.
The Palisades-Kepler State park is a beautiful place for a morning walk or picnic. Also, the Palisades offers a number of camping options if you like a chance to camp during your stay in Iowa.
Believe it or not, Pullman Bar and Diner has the best coffee cake that Annabel and Rob have ever had. Enjoy their incredible food for any meal of the day.
