With the proliferation of chain coffee places, locally-owned coffee shops are a little harder to come by than they used to be. This one in small-town Nebraska is a community treasure that keeps visitors caffeinated and fed in a wonderfully homey environment.

When you find yourself in the little town of West Point, Nebraska, look for the distinctive red door on the side of this little building on Lincoln Street. The name of the shop (and the color of the door) comes from the practice of painting house doors red to communicate that travelers are welcome.
