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.

It was decorated with some cool HP theming and we liked a lot of what they had there. We all tried the butter beer and unfortunately for all 3 of us it just wasn't what we thought it would be. It was snot at all sweet, which we figured butter beer would be even after sweetening it, it just didn't taste like we had hoped. This place is awesome in concept, and perhaps lots of people like it, it just wasn't for us

Come in the morning for pancakes or come later for cupcakes and pie. The menu has lots of vegan options for those avoiding butter, eggs, and that kind of stuff. Charming interior that has a coziness about it. It's just as much of a bakery as it is a cafe, with display cases full of goodies and sweets. There's a good amount of indoor dining too. A lot come in here to pick up baked items at the counter. If dining in, have a seat. The menu is actually kind of big with tons of things. It's about $7 for a large latte. Kind of pricy, as far as coffee goes but it's good though. Has some non dairy milks. It's about $11 for the Vegan Waffles. Hearty and filling. There's also other plant based offerings such as tofu bowls at lunch. Has the best baked goods around. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

They primarily serve crepes and tea of course but I have never been a person to digest either of these things. I tried the iced rose and lavender milk teas a few times and those are so yummy. It has the sensation of milk has your drinking it, but it has the sweet undertone of tea for taste, it's wonderful. The first crepe I had there was an ice cream crepe which was HUGE by the way. I was looking at it like "homagod" because I usually have crepes that are small and dainty but this was a monster. It was a dessert crepe with chocolate ice cream, syrup, and whip creme. BABY! It was so good! It was really cold but I powered through that mess. That's exactly how it looked too after I was done eating, a mess. The cafe' is small, but really comfortable. They have a very modern like atmosphere using neutral colors for everything. I loved going there to study because it's just so cozy and so inviting. It's truly an amazing place.

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.

This store is definitely a lot larger than it appears.

I found aloe vera juice, spring roll wrappers, pho noodles, etc. You would never be able to find that at a Kroger's. The man who works here is very nice and accommodating. If there is something you need, he will try to get it for you (even if it's out of stock). The only downside is that they have no fresh seafood, but that is something I can live without. This place is heaven sent for people from other parts of the world!
