“At the Historic Banes House in Metamora”
The Smelly Gourmet at the Historic Banes House in Metamora, Indiana. Steve, aka Smelly and Brenda Collier make an experience for their guests gibr days a week in one of Metamora's most unique shops! Just meeting Smelly himself is an experience. The historic canal town of Metamora, Indiana provides a unique backdrop for their European Coffee Bar and Gift Shop, located in their home, known as the Banes house, an 1845 Federal style brick house in the center of the Metamora Business District. Products include the "best cappuccino this side of the Atlantic", Brenda's super silky bath and body products and delightfully aromatic home fragrance products, Steve's hundreds of bright, colorful witty designs in his "Bits of Wisdom" refrigerator magnets that he makes in the shop, old dead computer motherboards recycled into clocks, and of course, the best gourmet popping corn in thirteen varieties, packaged in recycled liquor, wine and beer bottles! Beautiful had painted furniture by Joan, Smelly's mom. Guests enjoy not only the village's water-powered grist mill, belgian draft horse drawn canal boat ride, rides on vintage rail equipment of the Whitewater Valley Railroad, three ice cream shops and four fudge shops, but the warm, friendly atmosphere inside the Smelly Gourmet with a little background music, burning rocks and other oil lamps, and the best coffee and cappuccino to found for miles around. If you are looking for a gift that is unique and unusual this is the place. 80% of our products are our own original ideas made by us. You can also stay overnight in our Banes Suite. A 350 sq ft luxury fully equiped suite.
