    Best place for coffee in Carbondale. Common Grounds is a pretty simple looking place with the…read morecoffee being the main reason to come here. It also seems like a popular location to study for SIU students. Has pretty basic options along with seasonal favorites. The prices are pretty okay for around here and it's pretty good quality. Any college town needs to have a place to get coffee. It's not like there's many other good options. This is one reason why it's the best in town. Good options among the flavors. It's about $6 for a latte. The last time here I got the Black Forest Mocha. Had lots of chocolate flavor. The food options are paltry. It's about $2 for a bagel. They also have a few other things such as muffins. For this town it's not bad. It's located on East Grand Avenue at Wall Street. The main menu item is coffee, but there's bagels, plus some pastries and other things.

    First time here and I can't believe I've passed this place so many times without noticing it. My…read morepartner got the iced caramel latte with whole milk, and I went with the iced caramel chai with coconut milk. let me tell you, it's really good. Staff is great and very knowledgeable regarding the menu. The vibe here is relaxed and easy, with plenty of space to sit and not feel rushed. Prices were very reasonable too. Found this place through Yelp and I'm glad I did.

    Blend is LOVELY everyone. This is a great little spot that has the most unorthodox items, but I…read moredon't care because I'm living for it! They primarily serve crepes and tea of course but I have never been a person to digest either of these things. I tried the iced rose and lavender milk teas a few times and those are so yummy. It has the sensation of milk has your drinking it, but it has the sweet undertone of tea for taste, it's wonderful. The first crepe I had there was an ice cream crepe which was HUGE by the way. I was looking at it like "homagod" because I usually have crepes that are small and dainty but this was a monster. It was a dessert crepe with chocolate ice cream, syrup, and whip creme. BABY! It was so good! It was really cold but I powered through that mess. That's exactly how it looked too after I was done eating, a mess. The cafe' is small, but really comfortable. They have a very modern like atmosphere using neutral colors for everything. I loved going there to study because it's just so cozy and so inviting. It's truly an amazing place.

    I've been here twice, and there's a lot to like. The strawberry and Nutella dessert crepe is on…read morepoint, and goes well with strawberry or vanilla ice cream. The roast beef savory crepe is also tasty -- though a little light on meat. In terms of the milk tea, it is passable. The tapioca pearls are cooked properly, but the tea itself is nothing special. That said, for the price, it's hard to go wrong. The interior could use some work. It's a bit run down, and the paper towel dispensers in the bathroom don't work great. Meanwhile, the service is solid. They were very patient and friendly with my kids.
