    So all these years I've been going to Soulard and to Global Foods and to St. Charles for my…read morespices...and I never ever realized that I had an insanely amazing, friendly, competitive locally-owned coffee, tea, and spice shop located a few blocks away from where I used to work! I'm dumbfounded. I'm even more dumbfounded that no one has ever reviewed this place! Located in downtown Belleville, it's a little further down the street than the other stores, but it is so worth the walk. It is really similar to the spice and coffee store at the Soulard Market...except without the craziness. The staff is super helpful from letting you sniff the coffee beans before committing to a flavor to advising different recipes for different spices. I love it! And the best is that for a small-town shop, the prices are the same as if you were at those previously mentioned places, along with the huge variety! Chauvin is their main supplier of coffee...and there are at least 50 flavors available for your perusal. Most of them are $11.95 a pound, and they can even make 2 oz samplers for you. They will even either leave them as beans or grind them up to your specifications. Similarly, their tea options are just as varied: over 30 flavors and they range from anywhere from 75 cents to $3.00 an oz. They don't have rooibos, as least not what I could see, but they have most everything else. And finally, an incredible wall of herbs and spices, along with their own special spice blends. It's just amazing. Prices are definitely cheaper than your supermarket prices, and they have the same things as other local stores. I've been using the Brazilian Meat rub, and it is phenomenal with a great spicy kick. The Herbes De Provence mix is very fresh and aromatic. I can't wait to break into the fajita seasonings, the Essence, and the special dips I picked up. Their website has a great up-to-date list of what they have in stock, along with prices, if you're wanting to know what they carry before you go in. And why is it an amazing locally owned shop? Well, on Saturdays, they have free coffee tastings and dip tastings. Also, they set you up with a card, and once you hit $50 in receipts, they give you $5 off with your next purchase. Where else would do something like that? Hours are a little weird: Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays are 10-5; Wednesdays and Fridays are 11 to 6.

    I have been shopping at Crystal and Spice for years. This place is wonderful and they are so…read morehelpful. Give them a call

    I've been here several times & it's always a good experience! It's located in a shopping center…read more There's both tables & booth and the aesthetic is clean although it still feels homey. There's both tables and booths along the walls. If you're in a larger party I def recommend calling ahead. We've had cocktails here, chicken parm sandwich, grilled chicken panino sandwich, fratellis salad, chicken Alfredo, tutto mare, spaghetti, the al formaggio, and the affogato. Everything has been delicious, fresh, and hot! The only complaint I'd make is that although it says panini for sandwiches they aren't the traditional paninis that are pressed & grilled but instead are just sandwiches so that was disappointing to find out after the fact. The staff are so friendly and attentive we hadn't been for almost 2 months and our waitress still remembered us & what I usually order. I love getting the al formaggio but instead of ravioli I get fettuccine, I love being able to have a portion of all 3 yummy sauces they have. Overall a great restaurant! I love that it's family owned, fresh ingredients, and a lot of stuff made from scratch (complimentary bread is yummy). My only true complaint would be that they don't sell that creamy Italian dressing by the bottle, would totally buy it all the time it's so yummy! Anytime we're in the area we'll be stopping by.

    Consistently great food, wonderful service and a convenient location…read more The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. We go here with family for Birthdays, celebrations or just because the foods so good. We also meet with friends during the week when they are open for lunch.
