Ready for a great "Cuppa" coffee?


You have come to love them while located in the back of Main St. Gallery in Stockton, and now you can enjoy them in a new, expanded location. Cuppas, known for their great cup of coffee, now has it's own storefront at 413 Main. And, they are selling sandwiches, soup, salads, and a daily special during the lunch hour. So now it is Cuppas, Etc.
Owner Darla McReynolds has renovated the former Rooks County Bakery building into a quaint little shop that has a variety of food and other items. Stop by and see everything she has to offer in the shop, and have a great cup of coffee. Cuppas can be reached at 785-415-2025.
