Stop on Seminary Street

This is a day of easy shopping, whether you enjoy window shopping or purchasing gifts for everyone you know. There are plenty of shops within walking distance of the shops listed in this adventure, so feel free to wander around! Finish off the day with a cocktail at the Craft on Seminary Street Cocktail Lounge. It’s a perfect way to end the day.

 Stop 1: Innkeeper’s Fresh Roasted Coffee

Start a day of shopping at Innkeeper’s Fresh Roasted Coffee. But first, have a cup of coffee there! This chic coffee shop not only sells its own coffee blends, they also sell infused olive oil, chocolates, tea, and other gifts like coffee mugs and tea cups. With your coffee in hand, you can indulge in the finer things in life, and bring Innkeeper’s to your home.

Pro Tip: They have several non-dairy options for your drinks and offer a gluten free bread option for sandwiches! 

Stop 2: Brighter Life Bookshoppe

The second stop on this list is right next door to Innkeeper’s. Stop number two for a day of shopping small and supporting local Galesburg businesses is Brighter Life Bookshoppe. I guarantee you will be able to find a gift for the female in your life, whether it be for Mother’s Day, Birthdays, or just to show love. Brighter Life sells handmade jewelry, handbags, clothing, and interior design decor.

Pro Tip: Watch your step as you walk in, there is a step up!

Stop 3: Craft on Seminary Street

After a day of shopping, finish the afternoon with a cocktail at the Craft on Seminary Street Cocktail Lounge. We were very impressed by the knowledge of the mixologists. We recommend allowing the mixologists to assist you in finding the perfect drink for your taste. The presentation of the cocktails is Instagram-worthy! We ended up getting a “bartender’s handshake” after chatting with the mixologists. This was a really fun and unique experience.

Pro Tip: Try the the Gin Gimlet and Old Fashioned.
