My current favorite is a seasonal offering, Cinnamon Honey Latte. If I'm stopping before noon, it's always hot and after 12 noon, it's iced. I love the blending of cinnamon & honey. It's a sweet treat, but not overly sweet. If you need something savory to eat, I am a huge fan of their, Jalapeño Sausage Biscuit. It's delicious and easy to eat while driving. If you want something sweet, you cannot go wrong with one of their scones. Again, easy to eat on the road. If your co-pilot is your four legged best friend, be sure to get them a free Pup-Cup. They'll thank-you with lots of licks.

I was pleasantly surprised. I recently learned that TSC was much more then just a smoothie…read morerestaurant. They also have sandwiches, so you can have a light and healthy lunch. The day I stopped by, I enjoyed one of their 'Dillas. I had the, Chicken Three Cheese. A quesadilla with grilled chicken, queso blanco, cheddar and smoked cheese blend. It was very flavorful and the roasted tomato salsa for dipping was super spicy. I'd buy it by the jar if it were available. As my side, I choose Lay's Baked Chips. Getting a food item, you can add a smoothie for $4.99. That is a super deal. I choose, Blueberry Bliss. It's a mixture of, blueberries, strawberries and bananas. It was refreshing. As a reminder, sip slowly to avoid a brain freeze. The service was super friendly and both associates were attentive. Their dining room is bright and clean. I like all the windows bringing in the natural light. Best of all, they had metal stools in my favorite color, orange. Also, under the counter they had hooks for bags or jackets and outlets to charge your phone or laptop. Now that I know they are much more than a smoothie place, I'll be going back.

The ambiance is minimalist with a rustic twist and it truly is right on the corner, so you can't miss it. They offer a good variety of teas, coffee and morning pastries. If you're there at lunchtime, they've got that covered, too. They offer several sandwiches and for the health conscious, there is a variety of salads, too. The staff was friendly and brewed me a great cup of coffee. I love small town coffee shops. Their personalized service out shines that chain that most people love.

I found this delightful little cafe in downtown Wood River a pleasant surprise. While it has been…read moreopen for about two years now (yes, I asked), I had not heard of Russell's Corner Cafe until a few days ago when I took an alternative route and happened to drive by the cafe. It's an ideal place to grab your morning caffeine or a quick lunch, while supporting a small business. My Order: Mango Passionfruit Iced Tea & The Italian Sandwich Food/Drinks: The coffee menu is extensive, and they have a decent tea menu (my tea was Stash). There's a small bakery/pastry case, plus a few sandwiches and salads on the menu. After eating there, I checked out their social media; it looks like they have occasional specials that they post. I enjoyed my tea, and the Italian Sandwich was delicious. My sandwich came with a little cup of oil with herbs, which was so good! Atmosphere: The inside is simple, yet inviting. There's a counter where you order, and two small rooms with a few tables in each room. There's also a few tables outside, which I would have sat at had it been a little bit warmer. The woman working the counter was friendly and helpful. Logistics: It's 3 hour street parking, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The building is sort of on the corner/side road. Once inside, head up to the counter to order.

So when Scooter's opened a short distance from my home, I gave them a try. To my surprise, the service was super quick and the quality of coffee was good. Typically, I just get a simple cup of black coffee, but today I went all out. They had a new drink posted on the menu and it caught my attention. I ordered, Vanilla Creme Cold Brew. It was cool, refreshing and not overly sweet. Since I was heading into work my part-time job, I also ordered an, Everything Bagel. It was a sandwich made with, spicy sausage, egg and gouda cheese. Wow! It had the perfect amount of spice and the gouda cheese was melted perfectly around the egg and sausage. I'll be ordering it again and again. The staff was friendly and attentive over the intercom and even more so at the actual drive-up window. Their professionalism shined. Not being a fan of using a drive-thru, this Scooter's has taught me that using one can be a positive experience.

With the cold temperatures and snow on the ground, I changed my regular order of an iced Breakfast Latte to a hot one. When I got up to the window and the barista saw my K9 companions, she offered my Pup Cups. I told her they would love one, but we needed to skip this time because they were on the way to the v-e-t. Ordering thru the drive-thru was easy. I like how they start out asking for your rewards number and then if you've got any points to redeem they let you know. Always be sure to join all the rewards programs you can, they're a great way to save. The drive-thru at this Germania is set up kinda weird, but it works. From the menu, you just follow the chained in area that leads you up to the pick-up window. One of the reasons I've avoided the drive-thru was because of the weirdness, but after using it this once, it ain't that bad. Service is good inside and at the drive-thru. The staff is always friendly, they have winning personalities. When: January 28, 2026 Why: Morning caffeine.

When I get up in the morning and want a bagel, I take it out of the freezer and its packaging first thing after getting up. By the time I make a pot of coffee and walk the dog, it has thawed enough to toast. Do not let them slice at Panera, slice at home. They freeze better whole.
