Charmed at first sight by the historic town of Galena, Illinois, we decided to purchase property here and open a coffee and tea house, soon after our first visit in summer of 2009. The 150+ year old three-story brick building with store front at 112 North Main Street became our home in May of 2010.

The arts are our first love, and Rendezvous Coffee & Tea features an art gallery highlighting the work of owner Alice, as well as many artists from all over the U.S. and beyond. Music is a high priority for us and Steve will present his own keyboard and guitar compositions and host other live scheduled and impromptu music events.

Rendezvous Coffee and Tea opened in July, 2010. If you haven't visited the beautiful town of Galena recently, we hope you will soon!
