Jim’s Cafe in DeMotte, Indiana was so good! You know I can’t resist a toasty warm Reuben Sandwich.

More than sandwiches, Jim’s Cafe has a small wall of coffee. We saw flavors ranging from French Vanilla to Luck of the Irish.

I figured you might want to see the delicious you are in for at this comfortable Indiana town shop. Just be forewarned–the following images may result in a road trip!

DeMotte, Indiana: Jim’s Cafe to Kickstart Your Day

Demotte, Indiana: Jim's Cafe

little Indiana hit the road and head for DeMotte, Indiana or, more specifically, to Jim’s Cafe!

Well, let’s just say that in this small Indiana town shop, there’s plenty more than just coffee.

Jim’s Coffee Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

When you take a step inside, you will smell the lovely, lovely smell of coffee–and food!

Jim’s Coffee Shop serves the breakfast, lunch, and dinner crowd. Which was a good thing because little Indiana (and family) were hungry!

They’ve got a nice menu over at Jim’s Cafe. It was an easy choice for Kid #1 and #2 (hot dog and grilled cheese). Hubs and I waffled.

Food at Jim’s

The sandwiches sounded so good! Hubs finally went with the Patty Melt. But as for me? Well, they did have a Reuben Sandwich on there!

I chose the Onion Rings, Hubs went for fries. I’d recommend the Onion Rings–crispy goodness. Man those hit the spot.

Of course the kids enjoyed what they ordered. But what haven’t I mentioned yet? The coffee!

Demotte, Indiana: Jim's Cafe Frozen Mocha

Jim’s Cafe has quite the assortment of coffees and teas. There are so many yummy-sounding flavors!

You may remember that I didn’t actually enjoy coffee until after Kid #2 was born–and I only like it black. Even so, there’s a lot here that I could really get into.

While I didn’t actually get coffee personally, I did drink quite a bit of the Frozen Mocha that hubs ordered.

He stated, and I agree, that it is the best Frozen Mocha he has ever had. Ever! So take that, big box coffee!

Go There

Here’s just more proof that you can find everything you need in a small town. You just needed to know where to look! Jim’s Cafe was very good–and a place I wouldn’t mind returning.

Jessica Nunemaker — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:00:51 +0000

DeMotte, Indiana has the best kept secret for inexpensive movies and video games: Movie Madness. Small town? Well, it doesn’t mean boring and in this case? It also means wall to wall movies and games.

Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana

Movie Madness is your hometown video store! At least, it’s their slogan and I have to say it’s pretty fitting. Free popcorn, great prices, movies and games for sale or rent? It’s pretty much a one-stop shop!

You can get a better idea of the size of this place and general small town feel from the images below.

Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana: Movies and Games for Cheap

Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana

Welcome to Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana. This small town video store completely feeds my addiction.

Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana

Are you ready for it? I like video games. There! I said it!

Movie Madness has a varied selection of games not just for rent but for sale because they actually do game trading!

Pretty cool for a video store in small DeMotte, Indiana.

The trade-in seemed very reasonable to me. If I could ever part with a game, that would be something to remember!

This place is huge. I’m told that they took over the florist shop next door which was the original location of the shop before the current owners (for thirteen years now) took it over, renamed it, and greatly added on to the stock!

Seriously, they are stuffed to the gills with movies and games of all kinds.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Movie Madness in DeMotte, Indiana

Movie lovers will be happy to know that they carry everything to rent but for those of us traveling through small Indiana towns like DeMotte, you can find DVD’s and even VHS for purchase.

There was lots of good stuff there–many (or should I say most?) of which were $5 or under!

There’s also two arcade and one pinball games at Movie Madness. Who doesn’t love pinball?

Really, it’s the perfect way to distract your kid and hubby while you browse classic movies and Xbox games for sale, munching on popcorn. Not that I did that or anything.

Reel Deals

Did I forget to mention the popcorn? Browse around this DeMotte, Indiana shop and snag a free bag of popcorn. Oh the buttery goodness!

Try NOT To Lick the Screen, M’kay? Chocolate Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

Demotte, Indiana: Chocolate Shop

Demotte, Indiana is growing like crazy! Everywhere you look there seems to be construction going on or the grand opening of one business or another.

The Chocolate Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

There were plenty of food options for such a small town: Greek, American, Chinese, Mexican. But what had little Indiana really excited was The Chocolate Shop!

It felt like stepping into a scene from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory with the fun decorations hanging from the ceiling.

Vibrant colors and tons of candy choices everywhere made the place feel festive.It’s really fun in there!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for…

But the best part of this Indiana town ice cream parlor and candy store? They actually have Blue Moon Ice Cream (my absolute favorite). Hooray!

Hubs had an Iced Mocha (boooring!) and the kid had Cake and Ice Cream flavored ice cream of which he gave me a little taste.

It was pretty good stuff. Not my Blue Moon Ice Cream, but good, nonetheless.

Candy, Candy, Candy

Demotte, Indiana: The Chocolate Shop

This would be a great place to pick up something snacky for the ride home, that’s for sure (it’s not called a Candy Store for nothing!).

From chocolate to all that packaged stuff you loved as a kid (okay, and maybe even now)…well, it looked like they had it!

Tip: The Gummy Bears are great, and from the looks of it, quite popular!

Oh, and those on a restricted diet can indulge because they even have a super selection of Sugar Free candy, too!

DeMotte, Indiana: Bursting with Hometown Pride

Jessica Nunemaker — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:30:29 +0000

DeMotte, Indiana is surprisingly bustling. Well, every day but Sunday. On Sundays, DeMotte basically closes its doors and takes a little break from the rest of the world. That’s okay, though. There was just enough here to make it a worthwhile pass through.

DeMotte, Indiana

DeMotte, Indiana Downtown

Expect to drive around DeMotte, parking as needed, to hit the various clusters of shopping centers that all span outward from what is a tidy but very small downtown.

Strangely enough, this is also the only part of this Indiana town with any architectural interest. Other than that, navigating is easy enough because everything is located on the main drag, Halleck Street.

While downtown, make sure to hit the Sell-It-Again Shop. It’s like rummaging through Grandma’s attic. So much fun!

There are actually quite a few thrift shops here holding the usual assortment. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any antique-specific stores. Bummer.

Demotte Festivals and Events

DeMotte, Indiana Downtown

To really see DeMotte hopping, head out for the big event: The Town and Country Day Festival, sometimes referred to as Touch of Dutch.

Traditionally held the second Saturday in August, the festivities begin with what I’ve heard is a terrific 5K walk or run, a giant parade with oodles of candy throwing floats (which I know from experience), arts and crafts booths, and fair-type food booths. It overflows from behind DeMotte Elementary School to Freedom Park across the street.

There was something pretty exciting in DeMotte, particularly for an ice cream addict like me: The Chocolate Shop, a fantabulous ice cream parlor and candy store!

Small Town Fun

Add it all up and, as you can see, I can almost guarantee a good time and sugar high for all.

Anyone else remember the days of the giant tissue paper flowers on sticks you could buy at the Town and Country Day Festival? What are some of your favorite DeMotte, Indiana memories?
