Pizza
Bonnie L.

Cute hangout, others had laptops open. Street parking. Staff is friendly. The red velvet cupcake with cream cheese filling was the winner. It wasn't too sweet. Fluffy. It was good. The bbq chicken pizza was solid. Liked the corn and beans. Good flavor. The quiche was a pass. The iced tea had some fruity component.

Potato, cheese and onion burrito
Gil G.

First time here and it's such a nice spot. The inside is very "college town" but the clientele is varied. Suited businessmen, students, retirees, and everyone in between are visible here. The coffee is supplied by Plaid coffee and definitely seems to be of better quality. Forgoing my usual pour over I enjoyed a vanilla latte that hit the spot. I was hoping to try some of the baked goods but it seems like early afternoon is way too late because the sweet treats case is barren, which is a good sign. Instead I opted for a burrito which was simple and to the point the potatoes were slightly too raw but otherwise it was a great savory meal. Food is ordered at the counter and brought to your table or the bar in my case. Everything was prompt and hot. From here I can see many individual items for sale to-go, like tea and bread. There are also cubbies with other food items along with shirts and brewing accessories. Everything compliments each other. I can't say I'll be coming up here anytime soon, just because its out of the way for me. But next time I'm in Edwardsville I will definitely make the effort to stop by, hopefully earlier to get something sweet.

Bacon breakfast burrito

Definitely recommend this business. Selfishly, they have great food, service, and prices. Selflessly ;) they really contribute to the growth of the local community and as a great part of the town. It feels good to contribute to both!

Cozy lovely spot for lunch. Good variety on the menu and some yummy options. I was happy with my chicken salad which is in line with the vibes of this bakery. Can't wait to come back to try more!

Visiting from out of town and SO GLAD we came here. There's lots of seating, outlets to use if you want to sit and work, and all the food is delicious. Staff is super nice. Also the owners are Scottish by heritage, so their coffee brand is called Plaid, and there's a photo of "the Harry Potter train" on the wall which is in Scotland.

Hot latte, iced tea, and strawberry jam shortbread
Shandi P.

Great food, check. Great service, check. Wonderful environment, double check. My husband really likes the Plaid Coffe, which I believe they roast themselves, and I really like their iced tea, which has free refills. I often have their breakfast burritos or their lunch sandwiches, but today I came in for a coffee and a snack. I had the strawberry jam shortbread, which consists of a heart-outline shortbread cookie on top of a solid-heart shortbread cookie and a thin layer of strawberry jam. It was delightful. I also brought a loaf of cranberry walnut bread home we with me. (Two slices were gone before I got home.) I had a flavored latte, too, but I mixed feelings about that. I've had their lattes before, though it has been awhile, and they were always great. Today it had a funny taste--maybr old burnt milk in their steamer? I don't really know, but that was disappointing. Still, may have been a just-today fluke. I would still recommend them, and I'll still go again! It's a great place to work for a couple of hours when I need to get away from the office--plenty of tables with outlets!

Work, drink coffee, repeat. A great coffee shop lets you do those things and accessibility to an outlet to keep those things charged. The coffees had great options and the food came out fast and good.

Cinnamon Roll
Michael W.

A great find in Edwardsville downtown! If you're wanting a fresh cup of joe for the morning or some artisan bread to go along with your soup and salad for lunch, then head on down to 222 Artisan Bakery! They make their bread and pastries fresh everyday. Also they roast their own coffee. I bought a multigrain loaf and brought it back home. I sliced and toasted it. Then lightly buttered. And wow, this was probably the best multigrain I've ever had. They also claim they have the best cinnamon rolls, so I had to try one. Sure enough, they were right. I took a bite and it was savory, flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness. If I lived in Edwardsville, I would be a regular for sure! They make different types of bread for each day, so make sure you check their website and see what's available. I'll be back again if I'm in the area!

Fresh class made bread
Heidi L.

I've had the pleasure of taking two bread making classes here, both taught by the owner, Trevor. He is that rare instructor that easily communicates his passion and depth of knowledge while keeping the atmosphere relaxed, comfortable and fun. He's not only a great teacher, he's also a great baker - the bread, sandwiches, cinnamon rolls etc are all phenomenal. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a great music selection.

Chorizo/Chihuahua Cheese/Egg Burrito Side of salsa and sour cream
Sara L.

Delicious breakfast burrito at this cute little bakery/cafe! The chorizo/chihuahua cheese/scrambled egg burrito was perfectly grilled and super savory! I also tried the bread pudding with cream cheese icing and that didn't do it for me. I think I'm just used to bread pudding being warm and this was refrigerated. But, I'll be back to try some of the other pastries! Only complaint was the restroom needed some cleaning and attention.

When I saw they had hot honey and pepperoni paired together on a 8" pizza, I instantly knew that was one of my choices. The fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheeses paired with the hot honey and pepperoni exploded with flavor. My only disappointment was the inner crust. The outer rim crust was very crispy, but the inner was soft and limp due to the excessive grease from the flavorful pepperoni. I guess that is something I just need to deal with for a tasty lunch pizza. My other choice was, the Apple Gorgonzola Salad. Wow. Double Wow! This has to be the best salad I have ever had. It was a delightful mix of, spinach, granny smith apple, gorgonzola, sun-dried cranberries, candied pecans, all topped with a delicious maple cider vinaigrette. I will be back for the large version and a glass of Pino Grigio as a dinner. As my usual, I sat at the bar. My adult beverage of choice, was a Peel Summer Lager. I may be going back to fill my growler, for the upcoming holiday weekend. The restaurant has a contemporary feel, but the acoustics make it a loud environment. I didn't mind the laughter and loud conversations, it was the yelling and crying toddlers that made me cringe. Service was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed watching the bartenders use their mixologist skills preparing all the cocktails. It pleased me to see they offer "hooks under the bar". That's a small detail that makes me smile.

I've found that sitting at the bar is often a fun way to dine because people tend to be friendly and open to conversation. I met a nice gentleman who suggested I try the chicken Marsala with rigatoni in a red sauce, and he did not steer me wrong! The chicken was well seasoned, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. I paired it with a spritz that was light, refreshing, and a nice complement to the meal (no picture, I was famished) The restaurant had a lively, welcoming atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. My one wish...A traditional meat-based lasagna on the menu. I'd be all over that Honorable mention: they have Hanks Cheesecakes on the dessert menu! Overall, a really enjoyable first visit, and I'll definitely be back.

I have an 11 month old who needs to be buckled into a high chair because she wiggles. There were two chairs in the place. My husband brought over one, saying the other wouldn't work because it was missing the back leg support and was wobbly. When I went to buckle her in I noticed it was missing one of the buckles. We tried it for a bit but she wasn't safe so I held her for part of the rest of our meal. The assistant manager walked by and asked if everything was going good. I told him the food was great and then told him about the high chair issues. He admitted knowing that the one was missing a bar but thought the other one was fine. He took both to the back and before we could finish our meal he came out with the one that had all of its supports fixed with both straps and thanked us for bringing this to his attention. Great job taking care of all your customers.

Waited 30 minutes when I noticed only two tables had food delivered since we sat down. I looked around and counted 18 tables that were sat before us patiently waiting for food. I then saw Doc walk out the door carrying a paper bag that appeared to contain food. Two possible managers going table to table blaming a new line cook for the delay. Here's the issue. Docs items are not cooked to order. Owners don't walk out when 80% of their patrons are experiencing extended waits on food, and one new employee should not be the excuse given at Doc's Smokehouse. Docs has great food, and amazing customer service. Hopefully what happened Friday night is not the new norm. Go try docs, but don't count on it being the service that you're used to getting.

We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it!

We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.
