Serena’s Coffee Cafe

We’ve been meaning to get to this place for quite some time, as we walked by it just about every time we go up to the Amana Colonies.
We finally had a reason to go in and I was stoked at what we found! They share a space with phat daddy’s, however that doesn’t mean that there’s a lack of space to spread out. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the coffee counter and to the left is an expensive room with plenty of seating, couches and plenty of food accoutrements.
The coffee offerings were much more fast than I was expecting. I had a Cuban espresso, which included a double shot, some sugar and some delicious whipped cream. They had tons of coffee /​espresso offerings, plenty of flavored drinks, tons of tea and chai tea choices, as well as some dessert choices which were boss!
After enjoying lunch at the restaurant that shares the space, we had a ginger beer float, and this thing was absolutely amazing. It was highlighted by the fact that there are three year old kept telling us he enjoyed drinking beer…
The accoutrements that where mentioned earlier were primarily pastas, jams, sauces and a few kitchen items. A good percentage of them are produced locally, or at least within the state. Definitely something to check out if you’re into such items.
This quickly became a spot that will be hitting up every time we go up to the Amana Colonies. It’s easy to get in and out of, they’ve got tons of different options for drinks, and there’s plenty of space to relax in. I’m bummed we didn’t find out about this place sooner, but I’m glad we know about it now.

Fantastic coffee! The sandwich was yummy too but the coffee wow! I am a bit of a coffee snob so finding something so good out here was a bit of a surprise :)

We ordered two sandwiches to go. Roast beef and a chicken salad. Excellent! Good bread choices, generous portions, very tasty. Highly recommend! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Serenas is a great place to grab a cup of coffee and relax in the morning or a light lunch mid day. Always friendly staff and the food is tasty.

Enjoyable, basic sandwich shop with a coffee shop flair.
