Stores and Food That I Love in Kalona, Iowa

My Grandmother grew up in Wellman, Iowa, not far from Kalona, Iowa. I have relatives in Kalona, Iowa. My Grandmother was in the Pleasantview Nursing Home in Kalona, Iowa, until she passed away. My family and I would always shop in the stores in Kalona, and I still enjoy shopping in the stores in Kalona. Kalona is an Amish and Mennonite community. I love watching the Amish buggies go down the road.

 Kalona Antique Company

I always enjoy going to the Kalona Antique Company, an old church converted into an antique store. I have made numerous small purchases there over the years. In my younger days, old metal toy cars, marbles, and other objects enticed me. I purchased a few old oil lamps in my later years. They have a vast assortment of acceptable items for sale.

Hardware Stores in Kalona

Yotty’s Ace discount hardware store is my favorite hardware store. They have the old hard-to-find items. I purchased a nice heavy gauge aluminum scoop shovel with a metal and wood handle made like the ones from years ago. I like the old wood floor in their store. I have purchased oil lamp parts, dehumidifiers, paint brushes, fire king bakeware, and more. I like the fact that it is a family-run, multi-generation business. They are very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to your needs.

I always stop at Gambles hardware to get my garden seeds. I purchased a friendly homelite gas-operated hedge trimmer that worked perfectly for years. I also bought a pellet gun there years ago. I love shopping at hardware stores. Gambles hardware stores carry a wide array of products.

 Kalona Coffee House

The Kalona Coffee House can take care of all of your coffee needs. They make stunning lattes and cappuccinos. They have a wide array of cold coffee drinks—a nice place to meet, gather with your friends, and enjoy an excellent coffee drink. Try one of their muffins for a beautiful snack—a pleasant and fantastic atmosphere with a unique fresh coffee smell.

Tuscan Moon Grill

I love to eat my evening meal at the Tuscan Moon Grill on Fifth in Kalona. I purchased their lamb dinner several times. The lamb came with a large baked potato and grilled vegetables. The lamb was cooked to perfection. I also bought a glass of white wine with a lovely delicate flavor. Tuscan Moon’s owner visited us at our table, and he was originally from Italy. I like a restaurant where the owner or chef visits with you directly as you know they take great pride in their restaurant and customers.

Kalona Creamery

I love the Kalona Creamery. I love their fresh cheese curds and other cheese. They have old-fashioned candy bar brands from my childhood days. I have purchased a sky bar, milk duds, etc. They sell canned pork and chicken, which is amazingly delicious. You can watch them make cheese curds.

Stringtown Grocery Store

Stringtown Grocery Store is an Amish convenience store. I have purchased their homemade bread, pies, and more. The Amish are excellent bakers. I love their fresh carrots, potatoes, apples, cherries, and more. They have all kinds of spices and seeds for sale. They have a wide variety of candy. They have all the baking ingredients available for your baking needs. They have nail clippers, harmonicas, and much more for sale—a fantastic, welcoming, immaculate store.
