    We are on vacation and stopped in here. We were actually late, they close at 5 pm and we showed up at 5:13 pm. They let us in and we quickly looked around. It was thee cutest shop ever and we ended up getting ice cream. Which was absolutely delish! I think they home make their cones and let me tell you, they are probable the best waffle cones I've had. I also inquired about them having marshmallows, because we forgot to pick some up for camping, and she told me no they didn't that all they had was chocolate covered ones. I said it was not a big deal, but she went back and got us a marshmallows from a bag that they hadn't covered in chocolate yet. They were SUPER friendly and went above and beyond customer service! We're probably going to come back tomorrow, we'll before they close though!

    CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS CHOCOLATE?!

    This local establishment was a good find for me. It's a cozy, nicely decorated café that is…read moreinviting and has wonderful aesthetics. I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

    A group of us recently went there and the staff was less than friendly. Very poor customer service…read more They seemed annoyed to be serving us. The drinks were also very watered down. No manners when serving drinks and seemed to have an attitude. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but sadly I would not return here due to the poor service and quality of the drinks.

    I came to Red's Donut Shop after hearing for years how amazing it supposedly is. I genuinely wanted…read moreto like it. Instead, it ended up being one of the more disappointing bakery experiences I've had. We walked in to a display case that was almost empty and a line that felt more like a suggestion than anything organized. After waiting longer than expected, I ordered a French cake donut--what I received was surprisingly small, closer to a sample than something you'd expect to pay for. The service, though, was the real standout--and not in a good way. The employee helping us seemed clearly annoyed from the start. Basic, reasonable requests were met with visible irritation, and the overall attitude made it feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. That kind of interaction sticks with you more than the food does. What really added to the confusion was noticing trays of fresh, better-looking donuts behind the counter as we were leaving--none of which were available or mentioned while ordering. Yes, the prices are lower than other places, but the portions reflect that, and the service makes it hard to justify even a quick stop. I can understand people having fond memories of this place, but based on this visit, it doesn't hold up.

    These donuts are amazing. Very fresh. We had a glazed that just melted in your mouth! Small…read moreplace. The young man working was friendly and took care of us.
