I got a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a cup of corn chowder. WOW! Seriously delicious, y'all. The sandwich was $5.50 and the soup was $3. Amazing prices for such a tasty hearty lunch. The croissant was soft and flaky and perfect, the chicken salad was flavorful, and the corn chowder was. Just. Everything. Savory, creamy perfection.

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.

There is a little boutique in the front half of the the store, walk through all of the soaps and dresses to get back to the coffee. Or, take some time to look through the boutique!

Of course, the beautiful pairing is something from next door in Kirchoff's Bakery. Get some type of snack, log in the Wifi (or bring a book), and then grab your drink.

Black coffee was only $.75. 3 donuts, a bottled coffee beverage and a black drip coffee was $5. I mean, it's hard to beat. Only comment but not a complaint is that they use a buttercream type icing on their donuts, so don't except a glazed chocolate long john, it's more like a chocolate buttercream. Still tasty though!

I came to Red's Donut Shop after hearing for years how amazing it supposedly is. I genuinely wanted…read moreto like it. Instead, it ended up being one of the more disappointing bakery experiences I've had. We walked in to a display case that was almost empty and a line that felt more like a suggestion than anything organized. After waiting longer than expected, I ordered a French cake donut--what I received was surprisingly small, closer to a sample than something you'd expect to pay for. The service, though, was the real standout--and not in a good way. The employee helping us seemed clearly annoyed from the start. Basic, reasonable requests were met with visible irritation, and the overall attitude made it feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. That kind of interaction sticks with you more than the food does. What really added to the confusion was noticing trays of fresh, better-looking donuts behind the counter as we were leaving--none of which were available or mentioned while ordering. Yes, the prices are lower than other places, but the portions reflect that, and the service makes it hard to justify even a quick stop. I can understand people having fond memories of this place, but based on this visit, it doesn't hold up.

It kind of tasted like burned sunflower seeds. The cappuccino was also underwhelming, with poor milk texture and an overall unpleasant flavor. I was especially surprised to see an automatic espresso machine being used at a specialty coffee roastery, as I expected a little more attention to the espresso preparation. No soap dispenser in the bathroom or any sign of soap at all was also concerning.

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

More on my opinion on the latte in a minute. The bakery is in another room and they had a large variety of pastries that are prepared in the building. I ordered an Apple fritter, a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing. My wife ordered a sour cream donut plus a lemon blueberry muffin. The Apple fritter was delicious with nice chunks of apple. One of the best I've ever had. So, after a bite of it, I gave my wife the caramel latte and ordered a black coffee. The sweetness of the fritter with the latte simply doesn't mix well IMO. The drink I had of the latte was really good but of course, I preferred a black coffee with the fritter. My wife loved the sour cream donut and thought it was better than our local donut shop we frequent that has her favorite sour cream donut. We saved the other two for the next day. So, no reviews for those two. This is a great local coffee shop with great products, great variety, and fantastic customer service. If you're in the KY Lake area we highly recommend this establishment.

Atmosphere - Old building with dining in a large room. Mostly filled with locals at long tables. We sat at a 4 person table in the corners. Food Drink - Coffee served with a spoon in it. I take my coffee just black. Breakfast - I went with the 2 eggs, Choice of bacon, sausage or ham, with toast or biscuits and gravy. I had too 2 eggs over easy, got medium, sausage that looked like bacon, and the biscuit and gravy could have had more gravy on the thin biscuit. Service - After we placed our order our waitress had to visit us and ask me how I want my eggs. I took 25 minutes to receive food. The clock is ticking and I was not sending the bacon back because I ordered sausage. Future - Maybe as I have another trip to the area soon.

I don't drink coffee and I'm avoiding tea and baked goods, so I didn't buy anything. The store has many local (to KY or to the southwest, lol) products and artwork. Several rooms for shopping.

My one tip would be to have more seating/table areas as there wasn't much of that, but perhaps the business is more profitable as an art gallery than as a "come and work on your laptop here for 3 hours" coffee shop.
