I have wanted to visit 222 Artisan Bakery for quite a while. I heard they have pizza on Fridays and…read moreSaturdays. I finally made it. Ordered a pizza with pepperoni and bacon. I'd call this a hand tossed dough and they used a low moisture mozzarella. The sauce and toppings were tasty. They brought it out on a round metal pan. Here's the part I didn't like...the cardboard disc under it. Why are you putting cardboard under a fresh pizza that is being eaten in the restaurant?

This is such a cute place! It's a bit small and it was very busy, but the service was phenomenal…read more Everyone who worked there was super sweet and communicated well with everyone. I got the homemade cinnamon roll which was divine, and the cinnamon roll latte! My friend got the breakfast sandwich and she really loved it. If you're ever in the area, give this place a try.

Within the last month, Sacred Grounds has had a change in ownership. For some that is sad news, but…read morethe good news is that the new owners so far have been keeping the same high quality service and products. My recent visit was to take part of Javapalooza being sponsored by Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau. When it's warm outside, I enjoy my coffee iced. My go to is, Vanilla Honey Latte with whole milk. If you're having a latte, why not go whole hog and enjoy that whole milk. The rich fullness of whole milk, adds to the flavor. Looking at their pastry case, it was hard for me to choose. However, once my eyes saw the Pizza Scone, I wanted a savory treat over a sweet. The scone was full of flavor, but a little on the dry side. After a couple bites, the dryness did not bother me, because the flavor was so good. Scared Grounds is located on the Main drag in downtown Edwardsville, so next time you're in town, be sure to stop by.

This is a cute coffee house filled with local art serving breakfast and lunch items. Unfortunately it was a Monday and they did not have any gluten free items. My wife just had a coffee which she said was very good and I had an Orange Creme muffin. Very fresh with pieces of fresh orange. Definitely a cute place to try when in Edwardsville Illinois.

So I added Kruta to my list! First, the building is so cool! It has a unique shape. Inside is nice and inviting and there's a dining area. Don't forget to take a number when you get inside! All the locals knew to do this! The donuts are behind the counter. I was a little discouraged at first when I didn't see them in the glass displays Customer service was great. My only complaint is I only purchased two donuts so they were put in a bag. The employee used parchment paper to grab the donut from the top and most of my icing was left on the paper. Why would you do that?!!! The donuts were delicious! Yummy icing. Soft. I couldn't believe how soft the cake donut was! I will definitely return!!!

Happy Days, are here again. I was a fan of Dolci's when they first opened at another location and…read morewas sad when they shuttered. Now that they are back and in a better and larger space, this makes me a happy man. When they announced they were coming back, I started following them on FB so I stayed informed and knew when they were opening. I swung by on the opening day and enjoyed some Avocado Toast and a Mimosa. Them having a liquor license to offer Mimosas and Bloody Marys is A+ for me. Brunch or a late breakfast is not complete without an adult beverage. In addition to my Avocado Toast which was excellent, I picked up a few sweet treats for friends. I got a brownie for one friend and a Cinnamon Roll for another. Both were well received, but the one who received the Cinnamon Roll, wrote me a thank-you note. Now that really says something when you get a written note for a sweet treat. Dolci's is conveniently located to my home and my part-time job. Actually, it is just across the street from my job, so I know where I'll be stopping on the days that I work. Oh, before I forget, the Macaroons here are amazing. Now that I told you that, you need to go and experience Dolci's Cafe and Bakery for yourself.

Wow!! Wait! Wait! That's not all a third employee brought out some Love in the form of a pup cup for my Rainbow . I would highly recommend you pay them a visit and enjoy the experience and if you have the time try the outside seating, the steel chairs are a gift lol they rock similar to a rocking chair, you wouldn't think with being so sturdy that would be yes it does! It might make you stay and enjoy something from their Delicious Menu. Nothing Like Small Town Love.

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.
