I came down from Texas to Carbondale, and wanted ice cream. This place is very similar to YogurtLand, but this place has more ice cream flavor options and topping options, including various amounts or sprinkles and sauce toppings. Very clean area, clean bathroom! Self-serving and soft serve ice cream. They have 235 topping options, and 79¢ per ounce. Nice indoor and outdoor seating area. Nice and helpful service.

The amount of toppings is insane!!

This place is seriously AWESOME. My sister and I were talking to the clerk (and she was SUPER nice!!) and it came up how we have nothing quite this intense back in California - sure, we have frozen yogurt, but never in my life have I seen so many toppings!! Not even in the most touristy parts of SoCal. This place is insane. And the frozen yogurt itself was absolutely delicious, it was seriously so good. Carbondale seriously has a hidden gem here!!!

I would have to say that this place is just a little bit better than Chill. The decor of the place gives off a downhome feel, where families can mingle and enjoy each other's company (unlike Chill which is more of a teenager hang out). The service is great! The people are very nice and care about what you think. I think the two things that made Cool Spoons stand out for me was the fact that they have the tart flavored yogurt (or California tart) that is famous at other major yogurt chains, and the way they serve their toppings. Most of the toppings are in these tall tubes that can be emptied with a push of a lever. To me, that is much more sanitary than Chill which leaves everything pretty much out in the open. They also have happy face spoons for you to scoop other toppings that aren't found in the vertical tubes. I would say that this place has better service, better selection, and a better set-up than their competitor.

Cool Spoons is one of the best discoveries I've made in my time down here in Carbondale. The decor is really friendly and welcoming, and there's a good amount of seating. It's always clean and the staff is always helpful when you need them to. This is a pay-by-the-ounce do-it-yourself frozen yogurt place in the same vein as 16 Handles or Red Mango. I really like that this shop has little sample cups on display, so you can try the flavors before you commit to them. You grab a cup, go to the wall of frozen yogurt, gelato, and sorbet flavors, and fill and blend flavors to your heart's content. Most recently on my visit, I combined Key Lime and Cake Batter- it was definitely a good life choice. If you don't want a bowl, for an up charge you can get a waffle cone. And then there's toppings, and good lord do they have everything you could ever want. They have a bar of cold toppings that includes cheesecake pieces (my favorite), boba, fruits, and bacon. That's right. Bacon. Then you turn and the wall is FILLED with topping dispensers. These are filled with anything from graham cracker crumbs to Jelly Bellies to chocolate rocks to animal crackers. They also have some no sugar added options. And then you get to the sauces, hot or cold, in any flavor you could imagine. It's pay by the ounce, and I believe it's like .47$ an ounce or something like that, so the price depends on how much you load up your cup. For me it's usually between four or five dollars. It's a great place to hang out or bring kids, and it's fun to keep coming back to try new flavor combinations.

Excellent place in you are in the mood for frozen yogurt! We started going here when they first opened and have been by every time we are in town. There are about a dozen flavors of yogurt to choose from and probably near 100 toppings. I don't think I made the same thing twice yet. The store was hopping but not obnoxiously loud. It is a place you can take your kids for a treat and let them draw on the chalk board walls. it is almost set up like a living room, entertainment area vs a sterile ice cream store.

One counter with toppings, out of several! 178 toppings on the walls and counters.

This place is absolutely amazing! In California we have frozen yogurt chains but I've never seen this many toppings before! And the icecream was so creamy and delicious, there was an excellent choice of flavors. Definitely will be coming here again!

18 flavors and numerous toppings.  Great place for frozen yogurt, frozen custard and sorbet.

Got some good breakfast at this bakery and cafe in Carbondale. It has things for breakfast and…read morelunch to be exact. Longbranch is a long time favorite in town. 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.

Vibes are really nice and I like going here since it's in my town. Unfortunately I come when it's…read morenot busy and it still takes 20 minutes to get coffee which tastes good but is nearly 8 dollars and in a small cup that is almost less than halfway full. I could justify it if they would fill the cup but this seems to be an ongoing problem
