Talon, The

The Talon is a fictional business featured on the WB Network/CW Network television series Smallville. It played a prominent role in the early seasons of the show, but appeared less frequently as the show's venue began to shy away from the original setting in favor of more Metropolis-themed storylines.

The Talon was a coffee house located on the main street of Smallville in the U.S. state of Kansas. As Smallville was a football town, the establishment was likely named in honor of the Smallville Crows, which was the varsity football team of Smallville High School.

Lana Lang worked at the Talon as a barista when she was going to high school. When the Kent family needed to earn a little extra money, Martha Kent began working there as a barista as well. Even Lois Lane slung a couple of coffee cups (poorly, I might add) for a brief period.

Lex Luthor ultimately bought the Talon and made Lana Lang his business partner. Lana began living in an upstairs loft. During a time when she was involved with a troubled young man named Adam Knight, she allowed him to stay with her in the loft as well.
