I thought the variety of liquor was poor and leaned towards the lower end of quality and price point. With that being said, my local grocer beats them on price. I was not impressed with the mixers, garnishes and bar accessories, too. However, they did have an extensive selection of beer and the prices were good. For me, a cocktail snob, I'll make the drive to Edwardsville or Saint Louis for a better liquor store.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any of their Dirt Cheap brand beer in stock, as it hadn't been made in a while.

When I entered Top Shelf, I saw the coolers along the left side of the store. I immediately strolled over to that side of the store. As I walked along the coolers, I only saw beer. The coolers wrapped around the back of the store, too and I still only saw beer. I reversed my steps and looked again at all the coolers. Once again, I found no wine. As I was ready to exit the store, I stopped at the cashier and asked, "Do you not have chilled wine?" She said, "Yes, it's over here in the cooler." To my surprise, there was a single cooler on the right side of the store and it was filled with chilled wine and champagne. She lead me back to the cooler and talked about the variety of the other wines we passed. I found the perfect wine and it was cheaper than the store I normally buy my wine. I was impressed with the personalized customer service. The variety of merchandise and their pricing is also, impressive. I'd say, Top Shelf is, a Top Notch liquor store.

They have a delicious looking menu with lots of good looking sandwiches and some yummy desserts. I opted for a winter special of the granny grilled cheese and it comes to the side of soup and I got a mini cheesecake on the side. The girls working upfront are so sweet and took my order quickly and answered all of my questions. They also did a great job of bagging up my order to go with utensils and napkins in the bag which I really appreciate. They also even tape closed the box so nothing spills. When I got home and sat down to eat, the food all looked delicious and made it home safe because of the careful packaging. The granny grilled cheese was the perfect mix of sweet and savory that I adore. It was a little messy to eat, but I was eating by myself at home so I didn't care. The tomato soup was the perfect addition to a snowy day. it was warm and flavorful. The cheesecake was also delicious. I got the mini one so I could convince myself I was being healthy but wish I would have gotten a full sized slice because of how delicious it was. I got my order to go for a couple different reasons but one is that they don't have the largest inside seating area and it tends to get pretty full. It's nice to come on a summer day because they have a pretty large outdoor seating area that you wouldn't be able to use in the winter is parking but there's a lot of spaces in the area.

I got the granny grilled cheese which had apples, brown butter aioli and cheese that came with tomato soup. It was beyond delicious.

They have a wonderful patio, indoor seating and seating above their store next door. Our service was great and we got a lot of food and it didn't take long on a busier Saturday.

Knowledge and willing to share ingredients and labels as she helped me order Gluten/Dairy/Sugar free. We had yummy greens with eggs and turkey sausage (hold the croutons). The poppyseed vinaigrette was dairy free and just perfect. My matcha latte and Clyde's coffee latte were delicious. Troy had pizza and he loved the crust ( he had regular but they DO offer GF crust AND vegan cheese!). Sam's French Toast looked amazing in all its gluten-filled glory. We also tried the immunity shots from CJ's Juicery and they were dynamite. If we still lived here full time I'd be making the drive over from STL once a week for that breakfast salad and matcha. The menu is varied and thoughtful, altho I would love to see them find a way to offer at least one gluten free bread (I bet their avocado toast rocks!). I understand it is not an easy undertaking for small kitchens to manage proper handling of GF if it's not their focus. However I promise those on a restricted diet can absolutely find something here due to Hannah's expertise.

However, this review is about them, so let me focus on them only. If you go to Post Commons, you gotta get a biscuit. Their biscuits are homemade and they are delicious. My personal favorite biscuit sandwich is the Sausage. In addition to the sausage patty, it has cream cheese and pepper jam. The pepper jam is what really makes this sammie special. If you're wanting a more hearty breakfast, you can create your own plate with items from the A La Carte menu. I've created one with two scrambled eggs, bacon and breakfast potatoes. The potatoes are cut into little cubes and fried to a crispy golden color. It's a great place to meet friends for a cup of coffee. The staff is cordial and makes you feel welcomed. Why go to a chain coffee shop, when you have a unique one in a old post office building? There is, no reason to go. When: February 4, 2026 Why: Biscuit Sandwich

Earlier this month I ordered from their website and selected delivery. After 5 hours and no emails, texts or calls I called the store. They told me they do not deliver? I told them they do because I have ordered delivery in the past. After being put on hold a couple of times they said they would send it right away. Today I stopped to pickup some Labatts Blue beer. The store is a shambles because they are putting in refrigeration units so 1/2 of the store is blocked off. This has been going on at least a couple of months. The aisles are not wide enough for a cart. I asked at the registers for Labatts and after spelling it 4 times they brought out a couple of new guys who googled it and told me they don't carry it. Their website plainly shows it "in stock". I buy it there all the time. I used to love this place but I am fed up. If they can't train new staff I'm out. Oh - and they sent me an email asking about my delivery experience, when I clicked I had a problem button it opened up my email prefilled with the address. The server is not accepting messages. It finally failed after 4 days of trying.
