madgood started as a food lab in the kitchen. So many health problems had accumulated in our lives… it was time to come clean. Was there a way to eat foods that reduce inflammation in the body while still tasting good and feeding our souls?

Hazel's Cafe, Coffee and Chocolates in Oregon, Illinois

May 1, 2025

Did you know there’s an Oregon, Illinois? We went there recently for a school camping trip at White Pines Ranch (which was such a great experience!). After dropping the kids off, I thought I might want a little pick-me-up before getting back on the road.

And I found Hazel’s… really nice atmosphere and design (and friendly staff) where I had a nice conversation and selected a white chocolate coconut truffle and a Chai tea to-go. The Chai tea was delicate and delicious with oat milk and the truffle was a delight!

I’ve heard there are some really good hiking trails around Oregon, Illinois, so we plan to make Hazel’s our ‘destination cafe’ when we’re in the area :)

New adventures lead to great finds…
