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.

I'll try a different drink next time for sure, though it'll be hard to pass on that honey latte, mmmm!

Not for Coffee enthusiasts , but the Bourbon Vanilla Latte is Decent. If you decide to stop here,…read moredo yourself a favor and order the bourbon vanilla latte.. and that's it. It's a decent drink, but calling it proper coffee would be a stretch. The biggest disappointment is the lack of craft. Their machine pulls the shots for the "barista," meaning there's no real skill or artistry involved... just pushing a button. For us, this really takes away from the experience. As cortado lovers, we gave theirs a shot, and it was a complete miss. Watery, poorly textured milk, and no effort at all in presentation. To top it off, they don't even serve it in a proper cortado cup!! It came in a full sized cappuccino cup, which just looked ridiculous. We can't recommend this spot for anyone who appreciates well crafted coffee, but if you're in need of a quick caffeine fix and have no other options, the bourbon vanilla latte is the safest bet.

We took a look at the photo display set up in the front. We ordered at the counter and I asked for advice. The staff member offered helpful input. I ordered the healthiest most delicious porridge.

I got a you-pick-two with red pepper soup and a strawberry salad. While I was deciding, my eyes wandered over to the baked goods (this is absolutely a trend with me) and I saw a peanut butter pretzel cookie....whaaaaat? No way this wasn't going in my belly! Then I glanced over to the drink case and I saw....Topo Chico! In Murphysville, IL?!? This place stands out for curating the best in a small town. Now I'm really excited for my lunch! And it did not disappoint. The red pepper soup was roasty and hearty, definitely a good choice for this chilly weather. And the strawberry salad was fresh and refreshing. Does that make sense? The ingredients were so fresh and crisp - sweet strawberries in January I'd no small feat! - but it was light and hit the perfect note as an accompaniment to the red pepper soup. And that cookie? Do I even need to tell you how delicious it was? I didn't even offer my friend a bite. I ate the whole thing and I'm not ashamed. So good! A delicious lunch and nice respite in a small Illinois town. Worth going out of your way, for sure!

They sell ice cream -in a cup, sugar cone, or waffle cone- and usually have one or two flavors of sorbet (vegan; non-dairy) as well. It would awesome to see a soy-, almond-, or oat-based ice cream, too! Snacks, juice, and water are available but are pricy since they're just a small shop. Oh, and I never buy any of it because I'm not a "spicy" person, but they have all kinds of hot sauces, too, from all over. The owner has always been welcoming although he has seemed bored or just "done" some days.
