Breakfast burrito with ham
Fran B.

Beautiful coffee shop! I love the decor! Tasty coffee and a nice food selection. They have live music on Sundays. Very nice owner and great customer service. Check them out!!!

Hot Chocolate!
Amber J.

So warm and cozy. Drink were made quickly. The baristas were so friendly, ans spoke directly to my 10 and 8 year old. This makes them feel so grown. We didn't get any food, however the smells are amazing. Can't wait to come back!

First time in since they changed ownership. Just came in for coffee, which they fixed perfectly. After looking over the menu, would definitely like to come back and try some of the food items! The service was spot on, and the interior is as lovely as it was before. The prices seem to be appropriate.

Biscuits $ grave, jelly donut, and honeybee latte

Second time trying this place. They are also on the coffee trail list for southern Illinois!! Last time I had their breakfast sandwich and coffee. It was good. This time I went for their biscuits and gravy. With a jelly filled donut. Had their hot honeybee latte, so good! Their staff is friendly and helpful. They weren't too busy. Which made it nice for my friend and I. It was her first time. She had a dirty chai latte with pumpkin and she loved it. Didn't have a long wait for food. They also have a walk up window you can order from if you're on the go. Come to downtown Belleville and support local. They have outside seating available as well.

Very cozy and charming. enjoyed an excellent Chai latte. Service was great. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood!

Very bad and scary experience here. I found a plastic piece that I still would assume is a bottle cap top for sauces in the middle of my breakfast sandwich. I took it to go without opening it up - which I will never do again anywhere after what happened. I only knew once I bit down the half eaten sandwich at home. I had called and reached the girl responsible for our order. I let her know what I found, and fairly quickly, she said, "I don't have any broken caps on my bottles." Which was odd because I remember having trouble describing what the plastic looked like. I barely mentioned it being a bottle cap. I went back in, and admittedly I was emotionally fragile due to something else. I tried to remain calm at first, but the girl just kept showing me a rather full bottle of sauce with an intact cap. I got to a point where I demanded the refund and was visibly upset. She gave it to me, but told me my aggression was threatening when her inconsideration and thoughtlessness could have cost me my life - had I not realized what I was chewing on earlier in the sandwich. When I left a Google review, the owner stood by their worker, and they said they didn't know where I got the plastic, but I scored a "free meal today." That is atrocious and disturbing behavior from local ownership. Check your dumpster and trash before accusing me of trying to get a free ride... jesus. And check your video too. If you don't have audio, I do. I am seeking professional guidance after their response, but wanted to come here to share a more detailed review where it cannot be deleted right away.

Coffee

Definitely a good location in Belleville area to meet up with friends or just grab coffee and a treat. Service was great. Fast and very friendly. Also the black coffee did taste very good. An added bonus is they had donuts which was a cool. Had to mention their chairs were cool and the overall look of the shop was interesting. I definitely am going to make it a priority to take my wife!

One of our favorite spots to go when hanging out in downtown Belleville. They usually have some type of fun latte menu for the current season. I just ordered the Eggnog Chai latte and I could have drank 10 of them! That thing was so good! The staff is always very friendly. I also had a fritatta and it was delicious with a side of salsa.

Ate here on the coffee tour. Cute shop, friendly staff. Had the white chocolate raspberry latte and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was fine, but nothing special. The coffee was similarly fine, but a bit weaker than I'm used to. Pleasant spot to sit for awhile in the morning

a plate of breakfast food

Breakfast Burrito Marshmallow Chai Chicken Salad sandwich Clean atmosphere with a large selection of menu items baristas are very knowledgeable and insightful on the menu, with different kinds of drinks and food items that are available I've been back couple times and will definitely come back again . It's a nice calm environment where you can come sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and get some work done or sit down and talk with an old friend or make some new ones.

This place is AMAZING! We of course stumbled upon this restaurant because my girlfriend and myselfs…read moreanswer to dinner was " I dont know". The man in me typed it into Google and behold.... like a Greek god the front counter man ( whome i could only believe to be the owner the way he stood tall and proud) Asked us what we would like to eat. My answer..... I dont know He sat us down with menu's till we were ready and boy we wernt ready for the flavor we had tonight.. my taste buds are doing the tango! Order the "IDK Fries" im seriously thinking about ordering another order to go. Yes.. I liked it so much im writing this while sitting at the table waiting for the girls to finish up!

Went for a quick dinner tonight and it was really good!…read more The service was pleasant (especially the gentleman who greeted us). The place is very clean, with several tables. I ordered a falafel, hummus, and salad appetizer as a meal and it was plenty. The falafel are excellent, though they could have used a bit of dip. Excellent flavor, piping hot, crispy on the outside and perfect inside. The hummus is very tahini-forward and tasty, though I did add a pinch of salt. The salad was some sliced cucumber and tomato and some fantastic pickles. Everything went together beautifully. Spouse had a chicken wrap and fries and said it was excellent. I stole a fry and it was delicious - the kind that slaps you upside the head and yells that it's a real potato product. We are definitely going back! Oh, and the prices aren't outrageous either.

Finally had a chance to visit Nettie B's. This small unassuming place I was told had great food…read more The actual restaurant space was anti-climatic. It was a big open space with a couple tables on one side and the chefs counter on the other side. In the corner was a lady greeting people who would take your order. There were no menus, the lady said the restaurant was transitioning to fish and seafood only and the menus were not completed but she could name off what was available. She did and I decided to go for the Salmon po boy with fries. I almost fell over when she said $17 and some change. OMG! Po boy usually taps out at $14.99 at the most, unless it is lobster. So already the bar was raised because a $17 po boy better be damn good. While waiting at one of the tables, the lady brought over my tableware for dine in. A plastic cup with plasticware and packets of condiments. I get it, COVID, but for a $17 sandwich with fries, I was expecting the dine in experience to be a little better. My food is ready and the chefs did a nice job of presenting it well in a styrofoam box for takeout, even tho I planned to dine in. So, moral of this story is that the food all comes in a takeout box. Including their pricey seafood boils. I know seafood is expensive, but if I am going to drop $30 for a takeout order, I'm expecting something better than just a styrofoam container you would put fried chicken in, what do you think? I enjoyed the salmon po boy, it was good, but not $17 good. Fries were hot and fresh, so I am giving this 4 stars because the food was good, the ambiance just wasn't. The price point is too high for me, but if you live in Illinois and want a seafood boil this is the place for you! I guess.

Husband, myself, and one of the kids joined me for dinner here. I was excited to try this place out…read moresince it reopened. ( I never had the chance to try when it was originally open) They were busy! Which I did expect as downtown belleville had a few things going on. They were so busy that sadly they were out of meatloaf and limited on some hoagie type Sandwich. I ordered the pub burger with the garlic mashed potatoes. The burger itself wasn't bad a little too salty than I'm use to. I swore I asked the waitress for the garnishes to be put on the side but they had it all on the burger. ( no big deal) the garlic mashed potatoes was a staple according to a guest that was talking to us as they left. They were good. Mine came out a little on the almost past the Luke warm stage ( I was a little bummed on that). Our oldest ordered the bone in wings buffalo flavor as a meal ( it's an appetizer) she said those were good. We also shared their French onion dip with chips. Husband had the same pub burger but he got his with steak fries. He wast thrilled that he couldn't order the burger in rare form. He too thought the burger itself was a little on the saltier aside. The prices seemed a little steep on some of the menu. ( expected on steaks and fish) I had to give them a bit of grace with all the chaos going on. Our server was kind and attentive. They didn't have much options for the festive drinks. I ordered their thin mint martini. I'd love to give them another shot in the future when it's less chaotic and they have food we want available. I will say th bar itself is cute. Reminds me of cheers. They had their front area setup with fire pits/heat lamps and tables to enjoy some hot chocolate that was only $3 for reg but if you wanted to "boozie" it up it would depend on the alcohol. They had cookies out from The cookie stroll that they offered for free. Then had a nice set up for those interested in making s'mores! Charlie's is located within historic downtown Belleville on the corner of Abend. There is only street side parking available. Keep in mind they do have breakfast or brunch too on weekends.

Always love coming by here.for seasonal changes to coffees or lotus drinks. We stopped by after…read morethe chili chase. Had their harvest lotus. Nice and refreshing. Notes of cranberry. Paired with their breakfast croissant. You pick your meat, I had sausage. Has egg and cheese with a light sauce. Omg talk about a flaky croissant! So good!!! Thats one of the best I have had. To top it off they are always welcoming. It makes you feel like family!!!

I've been to this place a few different times. On special occasions like St. Patrick's day and on…read moreregular crazy Saturday mornings. We've met with friends here a few times. Everything is often very fresh. If you enjoy very sugary coffee then this place is for you. Hence the name, I'm sure. I've never had a coffee that wasn't overly sweet even when asking for little sweetness. All the food is very good. You can tell the bakery and the made to order food is deliciously made with love! The only thing about this place is the customer service is hit or miss. That's why one star is lost. The man that's working there is always very kind, helpful and welcoming. Most of the young girls that work there are also kind and helpful. But there's a worker there, when I see her I'm automatically nervous and want to make sure I have no extra questions or requests. It's an older lady (possibly an owner or manager). Every interaction with her is often unpleasant, and I'm always made to feel like such an inconvenience for being there. Not sure if it's just my face she doesn't like, or if I just happen to come in on her bad days. This place is cute and great for by yourself mornings or a small group coming together for brunch! It's got yummy food, seating inside and outside. Once your passed the ordering it's a great place to be! EDIT: After receiving the comment from the owner, I'm coming to edit the review. For clearly being verified in the way I was treated. To say "you would NEVER make anyone feel that way" is no longer true because you have made someone feel that way, myself and others in my groups. Ultimately, I did not drag the business and I even came back multiple times before writing the review. I'm sorry, I hurt someone's feelings by being so specific but it truly was the ONLY issue I had with this business. I was truly only trying to give my constructive feedback as an honest reviewer and customer. As a business owner I'm sure it's hard to receive feedback sometimes but, I wasn't looking for anything back, and I still always tipped. I simply was giving feedback so it can be acknowledged and be made better.
