Something Special

Every Sunday, our Waconia location comes alive with a bluegrass jam, where local musicians gather to create something special, bringing the community together in the best way possible. We also collaborate with local artisans—painters transforming our tables into works of art and candlemakers using Jon’s handmade pottery.
