Nothing prepares the mind for enlightenment like a good cup of java.
Lightrail Cafe & Coffee Roaster in Winona Lake serves locally sourced ingredients and coffee beans purchased straight from the farmers who grow them. Relax at a table on the porch, or grab a cup of joe with something yummy and go to the Billy Sunday Home Museum.
The Arts & Crafts-style, California bungalow once housed evangelist Billy Sunday and his family. After marveling at this architectural wonder, wander the Warsaw Biblical Garden in Central Park.
There’s plenty of time to investigate the Old Jail Museum before going to lunch at rua, a soulful fusion of eclectic food. Leave time to walk through the gallery at rua.
For the after lunch latte and centering moment of zen, visit The Cave on the Square. This quaint dessert shop doubles as a soothing salt cave. After all that relaxing, stroll through the Lakeland Art Gallery, where local artisans have their hand-crafted wares on display.
Super hungry? Stay in Warsaw and dine at Noa Noa Wood Grill and Sushi Bar. Fresh fish, sushi and tropical tiki drinks are on the menu.
Heading back to Winona Lake? Catch dinner at Cerulean. Korean beef, duck and other exotic meats along with ample vegetarian options will please even the pickiest of eaters.
Finally, round out the evening with a performance at the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts or an outdoor summer concert in Central Park.
