Golden Gem Mercantile

Golden Gem Mercantile on S WA-27 in Rockford is a feed store, gift shop, clothing store and coffee bar in one, with a drive-thru and beans roasted on-site. There's a small seating area with seasonal decorations, and you can see cows and calves out the windows.

The chai latte with cinnamon brown sugar syrup is what they're known for. The Americano is the morning standard, and there's an iced Americano with cream and chocolate. The breakfast sandwich is the food pick. On Fridays, you get a free donut with any drink. You can take home bags of fresh-roasted beans too.
