Cafe 217 Espresso & Bakery Shoppe

Excellent place to get your morning caffeine dose! I've tried many of the drinks and have never been disappointed by any of them or any of the awesome baked goods they sell. Not to mention the amazing staff preparing your items. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Cafe' 217 is a great place! I'm not a coffee drinker, but I never hear anything but awesome comments about the beverages, the cinnamon rolls and other baked good are wonderful, and they even offer some gluten free options now and then. Lunches are also great!

The staff is always cheery and friendly and you always walk away with a smile on your face and a better outlook on your day!

They make it a point to support the community in many ways any chance they get.

The Ice cream on Sunday evenings during the season is always a popular family stop!

Great place, definitely a must stop if you are passing through town!

Excellent service and fantastic coffee! If Cafe 217 is not a regular stop, it should be! Great way to start the morning. Their Bullet Coffee and Keto Muffins are TO DIE FOR!! Ruby, Dennis and staff treat me like family..they are the best!

Located in the covered area of Skid & Steer Specialists, this coffee shop/trailer is a hidden treasure. They offer daily specials, carry a great selection of pastries, and always have a smile on their faces. It is family owned and, while the hours are different than most places, well worth the stop.
Personal Suggestion: Tiramasu Cupcake and anything to drink, as it is all really good. They offer outdoor seating ... a great thing in the warm weather ... and a great selection.

I moved to the Quad Cities 2 years ago and so miss the delicious coffee and goodies that Ruby has to offer. I still get up to Lena once a month and I always stop to see Ruby and get my fix. You will not find a nicer group of people to wait on you than at Cafe 217. Love their cupcakes they are baked with love!

My whole family has been there multiple times. They have wonderful coffees, teas, smoothies, espressos, and that's just a some of the drinks! Super yummy cupcakes, brownies, rolls, and more! Wonderful family run people who always have a smile!

Cafe 217 is a wonderful place to stop and get coffee and pastry and cupcakes. Ruby and her staff are always cheerful and make you feel special. I stop by every chance I can. Love her chocolate and cherry lattes. Would recommend the cafe to anyone that's asks.

Cafe 217 is the best! My husband and I love to stop by for a treat and a coffee after visiting family in Illinois! The service is better than the best, very friendly atmosphere! We just LOVE their drinks and ice cream! Visit café 217 and you won't be disappointed!

It’s our favorite place to stop for coffee. Many coffee flavors to choose from, makes it fun to try different flavors. Their pastries are delicious! We keep coming back not just because of the food but also the owner and family are kind and friendly!

Absolutely 10/10 anyone traveling through Lena Illinois should take the time to stop by and grab a delicious cinnamon roll and perfect coffee

Fantastic service, fantastic coffee, fantastic selection! The owners are very friendly and personable with great service. Their coffee is some of the best I've ever had. Cafe 217 is a hidden gem; highly recommend!

We love stopping at Cafe 217 for treats! They have the BEST peanut butter brownies, monster cookies, Nutatoos, and Keto muffins. We haven’t tried anything else so far, but I’m guessing they are all equally as amazing!

I love this place! Best friendly service i have ever had! There drinks are mouth watering and there home made baked goods are delicious and i love there colorful straws...... They are not located behind a grocery store they are located across from dollar general in lena illinois. Definetly come and try it out you will not regret it!

Cafe 217 is comfort.
It's sitting around the kitchen table, sharing conversation, laughing with friends, old and new, smelling the coffee and baked goods. Cafe 217 is home, with Ruby and Dennis there with smiles and open arms waiting for you.
Don't miss out while your in Lena

Love the drinks, and the service is awesome, too. Keep doing what you're doing.

The ladies that run this shoppe are superb and make very tasty drinks and sweets. Excellent cup of Joe for the morning. Oh and Denny knows what he's doing, also!
