Wow! You’d is an eclectic shop and restaurant that is run by a family. Being so small, the service is a bout slower, so if you are in a hurry, you might want somewhere else. But if you want a place to relax and chat a whole, then come on in! The food is amazing, wonderful sandwiches and paninis, soup, and gelato. And the process are quite decent! If you pass through Aurora, it is certainly somewhere you will want to stop.

This review is for the iced tea only. None of the antique stores around here have ac so I popped in for a cool drink. The iced tea is exceptional. $ 1-small $ 1.50-medium $ 2-large

The food is delicious. We did have to wait a while though. I would recommend ordering your food first and then shopping in the antique store part. Very pleasant. Would come again.

I know these antique shops are tiny, but the café/gelato ordering area is literally right inside a tiny Victorian era doorway. I stared over shoulders at the lovely churned confections for several minutes while other customers agonized over their choices before finally deciding my time was worth more and no gelato was worth the claustrophobia. Disappointed.

Scatter Creek is cute and seemingly never open. I’ve been to Aurora probably eight times, but only in Scatter Creek maybe twice. But if it’s open – check it out!
I’m no Billy Bob Thornton. One of his many quirks is a fear of antiques, but I do practically climb the walls in a cluttered environment. So I don’t visit a lot of antique stores, but I do enjoy escaping to the country and was intrigued by the description of this café and store. They have a lunch special that includes your choice of panini, soup or salad and gelato for dessert, all for under $ 10. One very nice lady works in the café and it took about 15 minutes to prepare our food. So you are left to wander the two-story house filled with antiques. Not a bad marketing strategy. The space is confined, but the items are well ordered. It is just not my thing. There are three small tables in the café and the food was only okay. The highlight would definitely be the gelato and you have your choice of two flavors from six offered with your meal. Part of the reason for the ho-hum review is that I can’t help but compare them to White Rabbit Bakery just down the street. White Rabbit is a bakery that happens to serve amazing sandwiches. Scatter Creek is an antique store that happens to serve okay food. So come for the antiques and stay for the gelato.

Tried this lovely spot for lunch today, as promised. I sat in the café area in the back listening to some relaxing music while cross-wording ;) as I waited for my order. If you come here, do not be in a hurry, since there is one sweet, kind lady running the antique store and café. So come with patience. I ordered their special. A Soy Chocolate Peppermint Latte. YUM!!! I have two other gals at my office who can’t have milk, so I raced back to share with them. It is rare to find a perfectly crafted soy coffee beverage in this area. What a surprise!!! First(because I love to have my dessert first) I had their fat free, boysenberry sorbet which was also milk free. YAHOO!!! Secondly I ordered ½ an Italinan wrap. She made it taste wonderful even with the removal of the cheeze and cream cheese. The total for the coffee, sorbet & Italian wrap was 13.00. It would have been a better price had I cut some of my calories out ;) But who in their right minds would do that??? As I enjoyed my meal, I also couldn’t help but eye some fellow diner’s soup & sandwich meals that were brought out. They had their Creamy Asparagus soup in charming ceramic white handled soup bowls, and the bread looked SOOOOO luxuriously fluffy on thier panini’s. I really enjoyed my time & meal here. It brought a nice calm to the middle of my busy Tueday work day. I will be back again.

Like most people, I enjoy being pleasantly surprised when I wander off the beaten track. While pausing to explore a few antique shops in Aurora(just east of I-5’s Exit 278), we stepped into an antique shop that had been a two-story home in the past, and discovered we could also enjoy lunch there. The menu was very limited, as was the economy of space, since the lunch area is a converted porch with just a few small tables. We placed an order and wandered about the shop for 15 – 20 minutes, finding a few small, irresistible purchases. By the way, you know you’re getting old(er) when some of the antiques and dust-catchers on the store’s shelves were toys you played with as a youngster. We brought our purchases to the counter and our lunch(panini sandwiches, soup, gelato and coffee) was ready. Having overlooked breakfast, we were certainly ready for lunch, and we enjoyed everything before us, but I will recommend this primarily as an antique shop with a very pleasant atmosphere, not as a restaurant. They do not serve dinner because the shop closes at 5 or 6PM, depending on the day. We were there for about 45 minutes but(as I recall) we were the only customers. Perhaps the wet, chilly weather kept others from beating a path to the door. If you enjoy shopping in an unhurried atmosphere, and need a bite to eat to sustain you while doing so, I recommend this little shop. If antiques or knick-knacks interest you, I recommend Aurora for shopping, since there are several antique shops clustered in the community.
