I'm not sure why anyone ever chooses to go to Starbucks when Collinsville has this coffee shop. The…read morebaked goods and the coffee are consistently much tastier. The price is usually about the same, or cheaper. The baristas are quick and efficient. I've never experienced a long wait, even when it is busy. The ambiance encourages you to sip and stay. Community groups, including my own, love to come here and relax with a coffee before going to events or meetings. Whether you choose to sit outside, inside, or take it to go, this place is always a treat.

I've been here several times for a little pick me up! They have a wide array of flavors, with many…read moresugar free options available (we love). Recently had their espresso loaf and it was excellent. The kids loved their raspberry scone! They offer steamers (milk) with flavor if you want to get the kids a drink, but without the caffeine (or sugar!). They have a cute couch in the seating area and several tables and chairs - if working from coffee shops is your thing. My #1 is the sugar free cookie dough iced latte. Doesn't even need cold foam. However, the rotating specials are always a hit too.

LOVE teaspoons. It's such an underrated tea room in the area. Way better prices than the local tea…read morerooms in stl, but not the traditional experience. Every tea I've ever had here has been off the charts. They have caffeine free options, too! The teapot for two is excellent. I am a sucker for a pick two because I like a lil diversity. The ceasar salad is great. Big fan of the teaspoon pesto sandwich. My partner raves about the chicken croissant and always gets a side salad with olive oil. The workers are nice. Its seat yourself with a number and they clear the table when you're finished. Easy place to bring kids. Plenty of options for seating! Personally love the booth option.

It always bums me when I have to remove a star from a local business. My last three visits to…read moreTeaspoon Cafe have not been what it use to be. However, the people of Edwardsville still love Teaspoons, because it was packed. Things that disappointed me on my last visit that made me decide to take a star away: They are now serving Kaldi's Coffee a STL roaster. I think it is a shame that they are not supporting one of the many local roasters on the Illinois side of the river. Was disappointed that their iced coffee lids were not sip lids. I prefer them, because I am not a fan of straws. I know some people need or prefer straws, but I like the option of not using one. Save the Turtles. Biggest disappointment was my food. I ordered the Breakfast Platter. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and hot and made fresh. They were very good. The English Muffin was also good. It was obvious it was freshly toasted, because the whipped butter spread and melted easily. The disappointments were the bacon and potatoes. Both were cold and tough. It was obvious that both sides were prepared ahead of time. The bacon did have good flavor, but it was chewy and rubbery. My potatoes were on the burnt side of preparation and cold and chewy like the bacon. Damn, when I've ordered this before it was good, not this time. I will at least say, the service and customer service is still good and consistent with what I've had before. Which actually saved them from getting two stars.

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.

In checking out their FB page, I saw them mention a gingerbread latte, so I made the drive. When I got there, they didn't have their holiday menu out yet, but the staff was happy to make my GBL anyway, so that was much appreciated. For people like me who prefer to make their coffee more like a dessert, they have lots of different flavored lattes on their menu. I also had a breakfast burrito, which was fine. If you're not familiar with the area, your GPS will probably lie to you about the location. It's right next to the visitors center, with a good sized parking lot. Not a bad coffee option if you happen to be in the area.

This is a fun place to bring the kids because of the desserts on display at the counter. My daughter enjoyed picking out a pink macaron. We also tried a vanilla cupcake, and the buttercream was to die for. We left with two chocolate cupcakes decorated like turkeys. ;) They were delicious! Everyone was so friendly and answered all of my questions. There are tables inside and outside, making this a nice, cozy spot to meet up with friends, though we took our drinks to go. My Mayan Mocha with almond milk was excellent, and my daughter loved her hot cocoa with whipped cream. I'll be back!

You couldn't ask for a better place to start off your day at. Their stores are always small, modern, and sleek with limited seating available. So, plan to get it to go. They are also passionate about what they do. So, get ready for a tasty treat. I always get the blended mocha, a small coffee with cream, and an iced latte. My favorite drink is the blended mocha. From the first sip to the last drip. I always savor every last sip of that delicious drink. It's creamy, chocolaty, and has a bold coffee flavor! Topped with delicious whipped cream. Also, I love taking home a cup of coffee for the next day. Trust me when I say that this coffee is incredible! I always gets the large iced latte with whole milk. That drink is pure perfection!
