FOOD + DRINK
Shortly after this revelation, Hericks purchased a piece of land on North Highway 81 and opened Backroads Coffeehouse & Lunchboxx in November 2019. Hericks shared Backroads Coffeehouse & Lunchboxx started by offering a variety of drinks, such as coffee, tea, and smoothies. “We also had a small bakery and one sandwich— which is still our number one selling sandwich, the CranAlmond Chicken Salad Sandwich —but the community quickly showed me that they wanted more food options,” she added. Hericks implemented her community's suggestion, adding an all-day breakfast menu including the Dakota Croissant Sandwich and Breakfast Bowl . She also added seven lunch menu items, from salads like the Chipotle Salad and Caesar Salad , to sandwiches and wraps like the Clubhouse and the Turkey Cranberry Salsa Sandwich . Customers can customize their meals with various side options, such as macaroni and cheese or soup, chips and salsa, a baguette, or a house salad. “Our dishes are made in-house, which speaks volumes to how popular these dishes have become,” shared Hericks.
We are often the first stop when cyclists come through town, or the first outing with newborns, bridal/bachelor gatherings, and the weekly meeting spot for business meetings. Melissa Hericks “
