Places To Visit In Galena

 Rendezvous Coffe & Tea shop...One of our favorite places to visit downtown Galena.  I believe they opened in July 2010 and it's just a quaint, marvelous place to stop for some of the best coffee and/or tea you've ever had. 

Say "Hi" to Steve and see if he will play a song for you.  He's a great singer and writes his own music!
