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.

The scrambled eggs were not scrambled. They were flattened, like it was made for a breakfast sandwich, then chopped up. The texture was not good. I wish I read the other reviews about the eggs. I expected real butter and not a butter spread for my biscuits. The sausage and biscuits were just ok. I recommend the restaurant changes how they cook scrambled eggs and get real butter for the biscuits and toast.

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

Come in the morning for pancakes or come later for cupcakes and pie. The menu has lots of vegan options for those avoiding butter, eggs, and that kind of stuff. Charming interior that has a coziness about it. It's just as much of a bakery as it is a cafe, with display cases full of goodies and sweets. There's a good amount of indoor dining too. A lot come in here to pick up baked items at the counter. If dining in, have a seat. The menu is actually kind of big with tons of things. It's about $7 for a large latte. Kind of pricy, as far as coffee goes but it's good though. Has some non dairy milks. It's about $11 for the Vegan Waffles. Hearty and filling. There's also other plant based offerings such as tofu bowls at lunch. Has the best baked goods around. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Instead decided to try the Branch Cafe even though when we ate there a year ago we had a hour wait so we hadn't been back since. Ordered two breakfast meals and coffee and soup. It was around 2:40 ish when the waitress offered to get us a dessert because of our wait. Mind you we got there a few minutes after 2 because I looked at my phone right before we pulled in to park. We ate dessert and were still waiting so we asked the waitress if our order was being cooked because if not, we were going to pay for our coffees and go elsewhere. Almost a one hour wait. The whole back room was empty so it wasn't busy. So the owner proceeds to come up and started to argue about when we got there. The waitress says things like "when you go to fine dining, you expect a wait" as if we've never been in a sit down restaurant in our life. The whole experience was horrible. My food was cold. The owner and waitress were extremely rude, combative and condescending. I don't know if the waitress forget to turn our order in or what, but it was almost right at an hour wait for some soup and few breakfast items. Will NEVER be back. Do with that what you will.

The inside is perfect for working, reading or catching up with friends! Parking: street parking is plenty and available right outside the shop. Accessibility: getting in there is a small ledge.

The BLT (I get on croissant instead of sourdough) is really good but very overpriced. The smoothies are hit and miss. Sometimes they have a good flavor, however a lot of times taste very watered down. They got rid of 2 of my favorite items. They used to carry cinnamon rolls with a maple drizzle that were amazing. Instead they've replaced with a much larger roll but not as good. The autumn maple mix salad has been gone awhile, and while that too was overpriced, it had an amazing flavor and I've not found anywhere else that has it. I've been told that item will not be returning. The employees are always friendly.
