The well decorated cafe features many varieties of coffee, donuts and sandwiches. In particular, the ice cream treats will be very exciting as customers will be able to design their own treat with the mixing of the many ingredients available.
The atmosphere and staff were very friendly and attentive to the needs of their customers throughout the morning. Even on "Opening Day" when things are typically hectic and crazy, all operations of the Holy Cow Cafe had been smoothed out and were prepped for an easy in and out visit or for a time to sit and enjoy your morning breakfast.
And with such a wide variety of treats, customers might consider making this the trophy stop for summer baseball. It's always great to reward ice cream for your young supersstar's performance on the baseball or softball diamond. These are traditions of yesteryear that are remembered for a lifetime. Holy Cow Cafe is also a wonderful meeting location for church groups and outings for ladies ministries. No program necessary, yet the relaxed sitting area would allow for a casual and comfortable area to just enjoy conversations and friendships.
Of course, those early morning guys that want a place to sit, sip and tell those long interesting stories of what's going on in the community will find the Holy Cow Cafe perfect for their needs. Plenty of coffee with convenient refills always makes the story a little more interesting.
As a review, let us share with our readers the doughnuts are incredible! Aaron definitely has a special gift for making these morning cake delights. With a wide variety of doughnuts, each are are covered and filled with all the magical bliss that make your taste buds sing for joy in the morning. Be very cautious not to eat them as you drive down the road as the hallelujah chorus may erupt in the front of your vehicle.
With local owners and a dedication to the Dexter community, please make it a point to stop by and encourage the staff at Holy Cow Cafe with your patronage.
Please place your comments below the Facebook Page on your experiences dining at Holy Cow Cafe!!!

Missouri - Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would like to make the public aware of Motorcycle Safety Month. Favorable weather is practically an invitation to motorcyclists to go for a ride. Car and truck drivers need to share the road with motorcyclists and keep the following in mind:
* Drivers should actively watch for motorcyclists.
* Motorcycles may look farther away than they are due to their smaller size. It is also difficult to judge the speed at which a motorcycle is traveling as it approaches.
*Motorcycles are hidden easily in a vehicle’s blind spots, or masked by objects or backgrounds. Thoroughly check traffic before changing lanes!
*Motorcyclists may slow down by downshifting or easing off the throttle. So, you may not see a brake light. Allow extra distance between you and a motorcycle.
*A motorcycle’s turn signal does not cancel after the turn like a vehicle’s signal does. So, pay attention, the motorcycle may not be turning.
*A motorcyclist will often adjust their position in the lane in order to be seen more easily and to avoid debris, wind, or passing vehicles. Allow the motorcyclist to share the lane; don’t assume they are being reckless.
*Stopping distance for motorcycles is similar to that of cars. But, slippery pavement can make stopping quickly difficult. Please allow more distance behind a motorcycle in these types of road conditions.
It’s important that motorcyclists take an active role in their safety. Keep these suggestions in mind when you’re on the road:
* Be visible. Motorists often have a hard time seeing you. Keep your headlight on, day or night. Use reflective strips/decals on your clothing and on your motorcycle. Be aware of other vehicle’s blind spots.
*Dress for safety. Wear a helmet and eye protection. Wear bright clothing. Wear thick or leather clothing for protection. Section 302.020 RSMo. states, in part, “Every person operating or riding as a passenger on any motorcycle or motortricycle, as defined in Section 301.010 RSMo., upon any highway of this state shall wear protective headgear at all times the vehicle is in motion. The protective headgear shall meet reasonable standards and specifications established by the director.”
*Think safety while riding. Give yourself space to react to other motorists’ actions. Use lane positioning to increase visibility. Watch for turning vehicles. Signal your next action in advance. Pretend you’re invisible and drive defensively.
*Know your bike. Get formal training and take refresher courses. Practice riding your motorcycle before going into heavy traffic. Know how to handle your motorcycle in all types of road conditions.
The Patrol encourages all motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!!
