Coffee

Locally owned coffee shop, also serves a limited lunch menu. Incredible atmosphere, with both inside and outside seating.
Great stop for mornings. Excellent chai tea, and try the overnight oats!

Neighborhood Bar

The Snug, as the regulars refer to it, is a comfortable, friendly spot for happy hour or an evening cocktail. Part of the Marion Artway area, you’ll appreciate the local memorabilia. Inside and outside seating. Often hosts bands or musicians in warmer months.
One of the best bartenders in the area! Say hello to Kevin.

Lovely locally owned restaurant. Definitely recommend the weekend brunch and bottomless mimosas. Beautiful outdoor patio.

Best pizza in Marion! Plan ahead, though. They’re often busy and there’s a wait for either dine in or carry out. Try the taco pizza, or for dessert, a Zookie.

Excellent locally owned spot for breakfast or lunch. Outside seating, and adorable shops on site. Homemade soups, love their broccoli cheddar soup, and chicken salad sandwich.
