Q's Cafe

Q's Cafe, owned by Galesburg locals Walt and Annette "Q" McAllister, was a quaint little lunch spot at 319 E Main St. that operated from 2004 to February 2018. Its weird hours (i.e. only being open midday around lunchtime) meant that it didn't get that much traffic from Knox students, but Q's brownies were available on campus and were absolutely legendary. Its menu was small but ever-changing, featuring fresh baked bread and delicious seasonal soups.

In its latter days, circa 2016-2018, Q's Cafe began hosting more events, including DIY shows and concerts from local and touring musical artists.
