They do offer do offer online ordering. So if you want a specific cookie order online and pick it up. They also offer delivery. It's a bit pricey but it's a good spot for my favorites like chocolate mint and snickerdoodles. Don't keep them in the box if you want them to stay fresh. As soon as you get to where you're going, be sure to put them in an airtight container. It seems that they will only stay fresh for a few hours in the box.

I suggest anyone buying food to check it before you pull away! Also, as advised, be aware "you have 17 yr olds making your food and they aren't perfect "

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. Meanwhile, the service is solid. They were very patient and friendly with my kids.

Prices aren't that bad either even with it being one of the nicer restaurants around here. The crepes can be meaty or vegetarian among the many options. Basically this place is all staffed by SIU students with it being close to the campus. It's a scenario that seems like a recipe for disaster. That's not the case entirely. Can be a bit of a wait of course. The menu isn't that big, so it helps keep things running smoother. It's about $5 for a crepe. They have savory and sweet. Among the savory ones, we tried the mushroom. These were good and light enough that we didn't get filled up. For dessert you can get sweet ones. These include fruit fillings and whipped cream on top. Good place for tea and crepes. It's located on University Avenue at Mill Street. They frequently close for school events and vacations.

Neighborhood Co-Op is one of those places you can become a member at and get discounts and other things. Maybe the prices are kind of high, but there's a lot of harder to find items. There's a lot in here for plant based eating, as well as for those wanting to eat healthier, and local. Came to get a few things while on a visit and got more than expected. It's bigger than it looks. There's a lot of aisles, and has a good amount of baked goods, along with some pretty fresh produce. A lot of natural and organic items. They have a lot of the Applegate Farms products if you want organic meats and sausage. Of course there's plenty of plant based. They have non dairy items like nut milks and yogurts. In the bakery there was vegan zucchini bread. The prices in here are kind of high, but if you become a member you get coupons and specials. Has to be a stop if you're shopping for organics around here. It's located in the Murdale Shopping Center on West Main Street. There's a ton of things for vegans and vegetarians.

I'm impressed with this store. It's well stocked with…read more fresh organic produce. There's bulk items one can bag such as nuts, granola, and coffee beans to name a few. All coffee beans are organic. The regular (with caffeine) beans offered are Espresso, Ethiopian, Guatemalan, Columbian, and Peruvian and sell for $15.99/lb. The Decaf beans offered are French Roast and Breakfast Blend for $18.49/lb. If you enjoy baking they have a nice lineup of Bob's Red Mill products including several gluten free, non GMO, flours. King Arthur products are also available, although not as numerous. When I make my homemade chili or spaghetti sauce I use organic Muir Glen whole peeled tomatoes, sauce, and paste. I was happy to see all were available here. The only other product I'll comment on is their ice cream - Alden's. The best ice cream (IMHO) is Alden's Vanilla Bean. It's organic, has all natural ingredients (no high fructose corn syrup), and tastes delicious! It's made in Oregon and I've found that a lot of major chain stores do not carry it. If you get a chance to try it, it's a must! They have a "Hot Bar" where hot food can be purchased separately or as a whole meal. Daily specials are listed on the board behind the counter. While shopping one of the employees asked me if I was finding everything ok. I thanked him and thought it was nice of him to ask. Other employees were busy putting new products and produce on the shelves but took time to say hi and they seemed to be enjoying their work. The setting is in an older building that's part of the old Murdoch Shopping plaza. It's a comfortable feeling while shopping - no hustling and bustling here. Coops are a really great idea and this one comes through with shining colors! It's hard to eat healthy these days but shopping here makes it a lot easier. If you haven't already, please check them out...and eat healthy!

So good in fact that I needed to ask, "are these made fresh?" They are and the difference is noticeable. The salsa fresca is awesome. If you're brain washed into thinking that thin flaky chips and thick pasty salsa is good, you're in for a shock. After lunch, my wife and I went back for dinner because of the chips and salsa. Other bonuses: The margaritas were good. Strong. A** kickingly strong. The food was tasty, but I don't know if it was exceptional. The service was a little slow. I wish they brought more than 2 flour tortillas per meal. Candidly, the chips and salsa are so good that everything else came in second.

It hardly is that authentic, but it's not trying to be though. Honestly it's better than it looks. The prices are kind of expensive unfortunately. Basically this is classic Mexican American food. It's got a few locations, including this one. This has the feel of a big chain to it, though. Anyway, the drinks and food are okay if not expecting much. The high prices make it hard to be satisfied. It's about $12 for a margarita. The Blue Lagoon is made with Blue Curaçao and it got us lit for sure. Food is even more expensive. It's about $15 for the Taco Salad Veggie. This comes in a crispy tortilla bowl, and is filled with broccoli, cheese dip and sour cream which I left off, guacamole, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. Good stuff but certainly not worth the charge. The rest of the menu has typical Americanized stuff like fajitas and tacos. For sure it's not bad food. It's located on Giant City Road by University Mall. There's some things okay for vegetarians.
