The guys who run the place are very friendly and always helpful however they can be. The inventory is so diverse that you can find almost anything you expect to and more than that. They have sandalwood powder and many different kinds of incense and personal care items behind the cash registers. There are also cooking utensils from many countries around the world in the back of the store. I buy whole wheat pita bread, split mung dal and green salsa here, and occasionally a package of cookies. Huge bags of rice and dal are also available and the prices are reasonable. Local businesses are welcome to post flyers at the front door. I'm so grateful to have this store here and in such a convenient location. It would be nice to have small packages of fresh betel leaves. If more people would buy these we could have them here.

Casually checked out the store wow I was on vacation in Carbondale. This place was a casual grocery…read morestore they had a good selection of various ethnic food items. This store is definitely a lot larger than it appears. And the last dial I don't know if the freezers are brand new or is that a new area they may have acquired but they do have a lot of stuff that is in the freezers. Stores prices were actually pretty fair too and the staff was pretty friendly as well. Not the cleanest Place either since it feels a bit outdated but it's worth checking out for a hard to find food items especially if the grocery store next door doesn't have it.

There's even great fresh produce as well. Solid place to check out along the road

The serving size is quite large and the price was more than fair. Coming from a big city where everything cost a fortune, this was a nice treat on many levels. Service was great and fast. We weren't rushed as we read each description to decide. The menu is much more extensive than just scoops of ice cream. Truly something to satisfy everyone. The store is way bigger than I expected. We decided to stop here as we were looking for a local small town place with something sweet and it didn't disappoint. From the outside it looked like an average storefront, but once inside, it's so much more. There is ample seating with cute tables. Board games and some video games in the larger back room. There is also clean restrooms. So cute and so good! Definitely a place to enjoy leisurely and hang out with friends/family. Perfectly located on the main street.

It was one of those days where you would normally just want to stay inside with a blanket and curl up in a chair. What I was looking for at lunch was somewhere that would make me feel welcome and give off a cozy feeling. My sister had gotten several birthday cakes from Ally which the whole family had loved, so the bar was pretty high. The restaurant is located on the way to Walker's Bluff Casino and is in the General Store. This is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. The inside of the restaurant is large and there is ample seating even for large groups. Given she started with a Bake Shop, it should be no surprise that there is a host of delicious baked good to choose from. My two kids settled on the cakepops, but there were also cookies, cupcakes and other items to pick from. For entrees you could choose from a good selection of sandwiches, salads, and soups. Everything we got was fantastic, and the portions were large. You could get fountain drinks and they also had a great selection of coffees. Overall I really enjoyed going to Ally's Bake Shop. It was a great choice by my sister, and I will be coming back again in the future.

Parking is right in front. They have plenty of seating inside and on the patio, as well as the ability to host larger groups. They have a variety of coffees, baked goods, brunch is served all day, and small bites consisting of sandwiches and salads. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had the chicken quesadillas, which are served with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. They were very good. My husband had the turkey chipotle sandwich, and fried jalapeño cheddar bites. The sandwich was stacked with ingredients and he said it was delicious. The jalapeño cheddar bites are served with ranch, and they were also good. For dessert we each ordered a cookie. He enjoyed the stuffed red velvet while I had a chocolate chip cookie sandwich. The service was quick. The food was good. The desserts were very good. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

Breakfast sandwiches available along with kolaches. (enjoyed them both) In terms of the donuts - the chocolate glazed cake is lighter than others and yeast raised are light as well. First day also had a square glazed croissant - very good and flaky layers. Chocolate icing on a long john was good too. Both days three glazed donut holes were thrown in as a bonus to the 3 donuts I had gotten. Donuts can be filled to order if you'd like...did try the raspberry...a bit too runny for me...I prefer more fruit in my fillings. Will see if I try the other fillings down the road.

This is just an ok place for me. Nothing to write home about. Just another doughnut in my opinion…read more They use Dawn mix which I can appreciate as it is a good brand of doughnut mix.

The Fudge shop down the sidewalk was also closed;they have some sort of eats besides fudge. Well ,we went to Grammer's Market for deli sandwiches. GOOD CHOICE ! I am so glad the seafood people went missing. The kind ladies said that it was more often than not that the place is closed without even posting a "closed" sign in the window. They even blew off a TV interview boosting the local area! We counted at least a dozen people looking for seafood and leaving disgusted after traveling that far. Grammer's Ta Ta ! Now,on to the good part. The food. You can get a regular sandwich or an up graded one for about a buck more. The "Hog" sized one is double the meat and cheese, if my memory serves me right. They have their own specials plus normal deli fare;roast beef,turkey,etc. I finally got a braunschwager - YUM ! Forgive spelling error but you know what I mean. There is a "piglet"; half sandwich for kiddie appetite. Nice touch. They have various drinks,chips,cookies,etc. As they prepare your lunch you can browse the antiques,souveniers, all the things you might expect. There is indoor seating or you can go down to the covered picnic area and eat. We chose that because our piglet would have destroyed the place looking for snow globes,her latest mania. I don't like to bad mouth a place I have never been to but if they don't want to do business during the week it should be posted. They have a "candid camera" outside the place and we gave them the all American salute,if you get my drift... Go to Alto Pass for very good deli sandwiches. Trust me.
