There are several new boutique bakeries that have opened in the Alton area and they're good too, but when it comes to traditional baked goods and donuts, nothing beats Duke. They are know for their donuts, my favorite is the Chocolate Long John and a sack of Donut Holes. Another local favorite they serve up is the Cream Horn. It's decadent cream wrapped in a flakey shell. I've branched out instead of getting my standard order and tried the Cinnamon Roll and Cheese Danish. A few seconds in the microwave and you've got a tasty accompaniment to your morning coffee or tea. The staff is young, and they are both friendly and professional. Good bakery items and friendly customer service, gets me as a repeat customer. If you're a selfie person, they have two great places for photos out front of the bakery, Snap Away.

It recently moved a little ways down the road and is in a newly renovated space. The restaurant is clean and tidy. The server was very friendly. But best of all - the donuts were very good! Some mom & pop donut shops cut corners by using food coloring in the frosting but don't add much flavor; real chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. That is not the case here. The chocolate, custard filled long john was delightful! The cake donut was thick and had substance and neither product was oily. (Yummy's Donut Place in Edwardsville should take a lesson from these guys!) Wish I lived closer - I'd be here more often!

Nice and simple. Inexpensive. That's how my son described it…read more Everything we got was tasty and as expected. Good coffee. I had the number 5, the "budget breakfast" sandwich (one egg, one bacon, cheese) on a biscuit. I loved the crunchy bacon. My friends got a different variety of their breakfast sandwiches, two eggs, cheese, bacon, one on a bagel and one on bread, and they both happily finished them off. Of course, I had to try the donut grilled cheese. Yes, American cheese, in between a doughnut that was split in half and griddled. It was a strange sensation, the salty cheese with the really sweet doughnut, crispy and caramelized on the outside and still soft on the inside. It's something everyone should have once in their life, lol. Oh, we also got one of their old-fashioned donuts, which is my barometer for how good a donut place is. It was a good donut. I was surprised it was the shape of a long john rather than a round donut, but it was quite enjoyable. I will have no problem going back for more!

I ordered a M&M Concrete, size Mini and it was huge in my opinion. There were plenty of M&M's, but I just was not pleased with the vanilla flavoring of the ice cream. I only ate about a fourth of my concrete and tossed the rest. Service was friendly. The shop was busy and the young staff was hustling as fast as they could. It was obvious several of them were new and perhaps still in training. The supervisor was being pulled in multiple directions and was keeping it all together. I'll give them another try, but next time I'll go chocolate and a small cone.

I had the Strawberry Sundae using the in house ice cream and loved it. -Had plenty of strawberries just like I like it. Service was friendly and fast. My party did not wait long for the food. The building looks remodeled/newer and was very clean. -including the bathrooms The only surprise is they do not take tips with a CC. So I left a cash tip. Again, I really liked the Italian sandwiches. So I took a couple home to share. I'll be back!

It's also has an excellent variety of snacks. I'll admit, at first I was hesitant to try the food items. Once I did, I was on a roll and trying more and more different items. The breakfast pizza with either, bacon or sausage are both winners. One morning I got brave and tried a, Biscuit & Gravy. To my surprise, it was good as, a mom & pop diner. The Casey's brand is top notch. It's actually better than some top brands we find in our local grocery store. Best of all, they periodically have them on sale. I was surprised that their pretzels are better than, Dot's and I am a huge Dot's fan. They have a lot of snacks that are Jalapeño flavored and that makes me real happy. The store itself is clean and well organized. I like that you can see into the kitchen where the food is prepared. Seeing a well maintained kitchen, puts me at ease in selecting the prepared foods. The staff is friendly and always have a upbeat attitude. I'm thankful that one of them suggested that I sign up for their rewards program. With my frequent shopping, it already has gotten me rewards. If you have a Casey's near you, I suggest you check it out. Casey's is better then a QT.
