This was the first Insomnia Cookies that had a complete menu with nothing out of stock. Staff here was pretty friendly for the most part and the cookies are reasonably priced compared to their other competitors that have opened up near me. They have parking in front as well, average place to check out.

The roast beef savory crepe is also tasty -- though a little light on meat. In terms of the milk tea, it is passable. The tapioca pearls are cooked properly, but the tea itself is nothing special. That said, for the price, it's hard to go wrong. The interior could use some work. It's a bit run down, and the paper towel dispensers in the bathroom don't work great. Meanwhile, the service is solid. They were very patient and friendly with my kids.

Prices aren't that bad either even with it being one of the nicer restaurants around here. The crepes can be meaty or vegetarian among the many options. Basically this place is all staffed by SIU students with it being close to the campus. It's a scenario that seems like a recipe for disaster. That's not the case entirely. Can be a bit of a wait of course. The menu isn't that big, so it helps keep things running smoother. It's about $5 for a crepe. They have savory and sweet. Among the savory ones, we tried the mushroom. These were good and light enough that we didn't get filled up. For dessert you can get sweet ones. These include fruit fillings and whipped cream on top. Good place for tea and crepes. It's located on University Avenue at Mill Street. They frequently close for school events and vacations.

The fact that a small town like Carbondale has a co-op is a big plus. The story behind the co-op is…read morevery heartwarming to hear. Anyone can be an owner too! This place was great to come here because this place had a huge selection of vegan options to choose from. For me they had my health conscious drinks. The meals itself were pretty cheap. Even crazier is that this place sold vegan pizza! Other than that the store has a lot of great practical finds. The grocery prices are not too bad either compared to other co-ops. The dining section is very clean and well maintained. Staff here is also really friendly and helpful as well. I do think that the store facade let alone a whole strip mall needs to be updated. Clean restrooms as well and they always inform you about local events happening at the grocery store. Consistent daily deals with weekday specials. Great store to support!

Neighborhood Co-Op is one of those places you can become a member at and get discounts and other things. Maybe the prices are kind of high, but there's a lot of harder to find items. There's a lot in here for plant based eating, as well as for those wanting to eat healthier, and local. Came to get a few things while on a visit and got more than expected. It's bigger than it looks. There's a lot of aisles, and has a good amount of baked goods, along with some pretty fresh produce. A lot of natural and organic items. They have a lot of the Applegate Farms products if you want organic meats and sausage. Of course there's plenty of plant based. They have non dairy items like nut milks and yogurts. In the bakery there was vegan zucchini bread. The prices in here are kind of high, but if you become a member you get coupons and specials. Has to be a stop if you're shopping for organics around here. It's located in the Murdale Shopping Center on West Main Street. There's a ton of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Anytime, I am back in Carbondale, I return to the Italian Village for some delicious pizza. Every visit brings back a flood of nostalgia and great food! Some of my best memories of Carbondale occurred at the IV. This visit, I enjoyed and devoured a small pepperoni pizza. It was amazing! The friendly staff allowed me to look around and relive some of my fondest memories in this amazing restaurant. The Italian Village is the place in Carbondale to go for amazing pizza! You will love it here! The years have gone by, but the memories and delicious food remain!

Absolutely delicious Mexican food in Murphysboro. Loved it. Previous visits to the area we have…read moregone to a Mexican restaurant in Carbondale with a liquor license - thinking that that El Jalisco did not have the same. Glad to know we were wrong. Delicious margaritas - and - the quesabirria tacos? Oh my goodness - I can't get enough. SOOOO delicious. We were there with three adults and one toddler. Two of us devoured the quesabirria and could not stop raving about how delicious they were. Rick enjoyed a burrito - and the chips and salsa kept the ten month old in our party very happy. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Murphysboro. And while I love to try different dishes - the memory of that quesabirria taco has me salivating. Ohhhh - so good!

Soup, I'll pass on.
