I'd call this a hand tossed dough and they used a low moisture mozzarella. The sauce and toppings were tasty. They brought it out on a round metal pan. Here's the part I didn't like...the cardboard disc under it. Why are you putting cardboard under a fresh pizza that is being eaten in the restaurant?

Within the last month, Sacred Grounds has had a change in ownership. For some that is sad news, but…read morethe good news is that the new owners so far have been keeping the same high quality service and products. My recent visit was to take part of Javapalooza being sponsored by Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau. When it's warm outside, I enjoy my coffee iced. My go to is, Vanilla Honey Latte with whole milk. If you're having a latte, why not go whole hog and enjoy that whole milk. The rich fullness of whole milk, adds to the flavor. Looking at their pastry case, it was hard for me to choose. However, once my eyes saw the Pizza Scone, I wanted a savory treat over a sweet. The scone was full of flavor, but a little on the dry side. After a couple bites, the dryness did not bother me, because the flavor was so good. Scared Grounds is located on the Main drag in downtown Edwardsville, so next time you're in town, be sure to stop by.

When you order the pad comes up suggesting a 18, 20 or 25 percent tip and the only thing they do is carry your food to the table! Next my wife ordered French toast and I ordered biscuits & gravy.

My wife got one piece of French toast and I received 1 biscuit with gravy with a small amount of tater tots not even close to the price we paid in food! The gravy was tasty but please! This is a very limited menu, very little selection! The place was very cute inside. We will not be back!

Every tea I've ever had here has been off the charts. They have caffeine free options, too! The teapot for two is excellent. I am a sucker for a pick two because I like a lil diversity. The ceasar salad is great. Big fan of the teaspoon pesto sandwich. My partner raves about the chicken croissant and always gets a side salad with olive oil. The workers are nice. Its seat yourself with a number and they clear the table when you're finished. Easy place to bring kids. Plenty of options for seating! Personally love the booth option.

What a disappointment this experience was. Teaspoons Cafe should be called "The Burnt Cafe"…read more We all ordered the Breakfast Platter and were upset with what we received. When ordering the ham they fail to mention it's 2 1/2 slices of deli ham. The only thing that tasted fresh were the eggs and the pancake. The bacon and sau was severely burnt and dry. However, the potatoes were the worst. They were dry, burnt, over seasoned and did not taste fresh at all. The meat and potatoes were cooked hours ago reheated when ordered. For being $12 it is not worth it and that money would be better spent at McDonalds. To make matters worse I heard a staff employee coughing in the kitchen. She should be home not making the food.

What a gem to come to Edwardsville/Glen Carbon! This Korean dessert cafe, located in the same…read moredouble-suite as Poke Munch, has boba tea of all types, espresso drinks, fresh taiyaki (like a warm, fish-shaped waffle stuffed with fruit filling, red bean paste, or nutella), and bingsu (kind of like a snow-textured frozen and shareable dessert, they tell me). The three of us got a traditional milk boba tea, a whipped dalgona coffee boba drink, an apple cinnamon taiyaki, and a Nutella taiyaki (the spouse ordered a red bean paste so I wouldn't steal any bites, but, lucky me, they gave us a Nutella by mistake). EVERYTHING was delicious! The spouse was familiar with taiyaki, but the two I tried were my firsts. They nearly melted in my mouth, they were so perfectly cooked. I got my whipped dalgona at 25% sweetness, and it was perfect. The kiddo's milk tea tastes on Earl Gray, and it was buenísimo, too! I want that next time. I can't wait to come back.
