They have covered picnic tables where you can enjoy them. Everyone working there are friendly and helpful. They're located in the rolling hills of southern Illinois approximately 12 miles south of Carbondale. It's a beautiful drive or ride to get there and I highly recommend you check them out.

Definitely worth a stop. Came here after doing some of the Shawnee Wine Trail, looking for a sweet…read morebite. I settled on the Apple dumpling a la mode. It's huge but so refreshing on a hot day (which this was!) There are shade-covered outdoor tables to eat (but note: signs say this is not a pet friendly locale). I ended up mostly finishing the ice cream and putting the rest in a cup to finish later. A super tasty fall treat, though fresh apple cider donuts (which aren't available here) will forever be a fall favorite for me. I didn't see an option for u-pick here, but the market is decent with Apple varietals, cider, and some jams. Worth a visit for the sweet treats alone!

Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

There are plenty of things to choose from but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't try a pralines & cream bar. I have diabetes and always TRY to eat this slowly but it's one of those things that may be bad for the glucose but good for the soul. There are breads to choose from to take home, and you can ask for a sandwich from the deli while you're there. I plan to try a sandwich next time. The customer service is always A1 and the prices seem fair in comparison to others. I definitely recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone!

A pain management clinic sits next door to this bakery, but even I (as a physician with some…read moreknowledge in the area) couldn't help but think that perhaps the display of sweets might be better at relieving pain than medications. The chocolate crinkle cookie I settled on delivered a delicate, melty texture. Conversely, the spicy crackers I ate later were robustly flavored (and hey, capsaicin does have some uses in pain medicine too). Their cafe menu didn't have a ton that interested me, and this didn't seem to be a place for people with niche dietary needs, but as a regular bakery it satisfied.

Told which she didn't do until we went to the counter. Poor service.

Atmosphere - Like most of downtown Metropolis they are located within an old building. They managed to keep the charm of the bricks alive and well with the modifications they needed to run their business. Food Drink - Large mocha, the temp was just right for drinking. The drink was a little chalky in texture. Pastry - No sure what they called it, the receipt states Danish/Pastries. I could go along with Danish. They should label the goodies. The blueberries where great, the pastry was a little over cooked. Service - My cashier was blah. Like she did not want to be here. Maybe cause I was not a regular, she seemed friendlier with them Future - Maybe on my next business trip.

Still a great place to have a nice treat, though their ice cream selection was a letdown.
