Revisiting The Most Unlikely Place



LEWELLEN, Neb. (KOLN) - At The Most Unlikely Place, you are bound to find food on the menu that is out of the ordinary. The gallery, coffee shop and café has been on the cutting edge of food service and customer service in the Garden County town of Lewellen for years.

Gluten-free or vegan dishes are a part what the business offers. “We like to serve healthy choice meals,” said Cynthia Miller, owner of The Most Unlikely Place. “We don’t have a grill for example. We have wonderful meat dishes, but we don’t grill our meat. And we have desserts. We are a coffee shop. I love to make cappuccinos and frappuccinos and all of those. We serve what the big old coffee shops serve, but better and cheaper.”

While the coffee shop and café are big draws, the art gallery brings in visitors, too. It features the work of Cynthia Miller’s husband, Dennis, and his siblings, Jean Jensen and Rex Miller. “Dennis’s original idea for this building had to do with art,” said Jean Jensen. “We were all artists, and he said we need someplace to hang our art. Get it out of our closets, and somewhere in the public. That’s how it started.”

The art gallery grew from there. The siblings admit their art is inspired by life in western Nebraska. “Lighting, the seasons, the coming and going of nature, and that’s the largest inspiration for my art work,” Jensen said. “Dennis has done so many paintings of the old river bridge. It’s a pretty amazing area... lots of nature.” The Miller family members are the regular featured artists at The Most Unlikely Place, but every month, there is also a featured artist.
