This sweet place saved my sanity so many times on trips from Minnesota to southern Utah . It was the only real espresso on my whole trip along I-80 and the best dark Italian espresso ever !!! What an oasis on a busy off ramp with a truck stop , etc. It's a quiet setting with an old barn and an old sod house and museum and maybe the best barbed wire sculpture ever !!!! An Indian on horseback facing a buffalo !!! A one of a kind place for sure

This will be a regular stop for us on drives between Lincoln NE and Denver CO. They have nice snack breads, cinnamon rolls, and simple sandwiches, ice cream, and of course coffee drinks. I had a regular latte and a Mexican mocha; both solid choices. Friendly service, and places to sit. Also, there’s a drive through but I’m all for getting out of the car and stretching my legs.

Super friendly service, great coffee, pastries, and a cute gift shop rolled into one, right next to the gas station. Perfection! Thank you for the gold sticker by the way! It fits perfectly on the corner of my pelican

This is a little gem just off I-80 in Gothenburg. Delicious coffee and ice cream in a cute setting make for a relaxing morning or afternoon. Drive-through available if you don’t have time to hang out.

What a delightful little stop . Drive thru . Great selection. Friendly service. And right off the highway. Check out the Sod house hidden behind their quaint little museum. Very interesting.

I loved this place so much!! Very good drinks and coziest atmosphere ever inside and very cute outside too with convenient drive-thru. Outdoor seating. Lots of trinkets, snacks, and souvenirs available as well. Indoor seating area even has a TV and newspapers to read. The only thing is no bathroom. But right across the street is a gas station with one.

What a cute little coffee shop! The woman that served me was as nice as could be. Right when I walked in, it smelled like fruit muffins just came out out of the oven. I ordered a large coffee with two shots of espresso! They even had Trivia, which is my favorite sugar substitute. The coffee was five dollars, but it was a great cup of coffee! Perfect spot if you’re charging your car at the Tesla station like I was. Highly recommend.

Everything you have read is true. What a quaint place! And good coffee! I was leaving the nearby hotel at around 0640 and thought, should I wait for Lasso Espresso to open? They opened early! The coffee is great and the lady running the shop filled my thermos for the long road ahead. Thanks ! You are a blessing to this little exit on the highway.
