I was pleasantly surprised. I recently learned that TSC was much more then just a smoothie…read morerestaurant. They also have sandwiches, so you can have a light and healthy lunch. The day I stopped by, I enjoyed one of their 'Dillas. I had the, Chicken Three Cheese. A quesadilla with grilled chicken, queso blanco, cheddar and smoked cheese blend. It was very flavorful and the roasted tomato salsa for dipping was super spicy. I'd buy it by the jar if it were available. As my side, I choose Lay's Baked Chips. Getting a food item, you can add a smoothie for $4.99. That is a super deal. I choose, Blueberry Bliss. It's a mixture of, blueberries, strawberries and bananas. It was refreshing. As a reminder, sip slowly to avoid a brain freeze. The service was super friendly and both associates were attentive. Their dining room is bright and clean. I like all the windows bringing in the natural light. Best of all, they had metal stools in my favorite color, orange. Also, under the counter they had hooks for bags or jackets and outlets to charge your phone or laptop. Now that I know they are much more than a smoothie place, I'll be going back.

Oh, Happy Day. I love the new location of CJ's Juicery. It is so cool having it inside Post…read moreCommons. What I like best, is that they open at 9 AM. I can now stop by and get a smoothie on my way to my part-time job. The new space is just inside the entrance. It's on the left side, that use to be set up as a bar. I like the convenience of being able to order my smoothie and then going over to the Post Commons counter and ordering a breakfast biscuit sandwich. My go to smoothie is always the, PBJ. It's a tasty mix of; blueberries, strawberries, bananas, peanut butter, dates and chia seeds. Once the blended concoction is poured into a glass, it's topped with granola. It's a great way to start the day. The service is always top notch. I've followed CJ's from the two previous locations to this third one and have never been disappointed. If you want a smoothie, avoid the chain company and go local with CJ's. When: February 4, 2026 Why: Breakfast Smoothie

My current favorite is a seasonal offering, Cinnamon Honey Latte. If I'm stopping before noon, it's always hot and after 12 noon, it's iced. I love the blending of cinnamon & honey. It's a sweet treat, but not overly sweet. If you need something savory to eat, I am a huge fan of their, Jalapeño Sausage Biscuit. It's delicious and easy to eat while driving. If you want something sweet, you cannot go wrong with one of their scones. Again, easy to eat on the road. If your co-pilot is your four legged best friend, be sure to get them a free Pup-Cup. They'll thank-you with lots of licks.

I love germanias drinks and it's always fun to try something new. The drive through made my experience quick.

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.

I can say in my humble opinion that Shiver's is the better custard. Living nearby, I have finally learned that you don't have to be a kid to order the kiddie size. By ordering the kiddie, I can save calories and perhaps be able to stop by twice during the week instead of limiting myself to one treat. I think Kiddie Size can also be called a, Senior Size. As we age, our appetites are like they use to be. Last night I couldn't pass by when I saw the FOTD (Flavor of the Day) was, Gooey Pecan Pie. I'm really not a Gooey person, but Pecan Pie is my favorite pie, so I couldn't resist. I ordered a Kiddie Concrete. It was rich in flavor and had large pieces of Pecan. I even had full sized pecans in my cup covered in the Gooey sauce. It was the perfect sweet treat to end the day. As a reminder, Shivers is also a coffee shop in the early mornings. So you can also get your caffeine fix, too. I also gotta tell you that they're dog friendly and offer free Pup Cups. Dog must be present to receive the Pup Cup. No To-Go orders for the pups.
