Knowledge and willing to share ingredients and labels as she helped me order Gluten/Dairy/Sugar free. We had yummy greens with eggs and turkey sausage (hold the croutons). The poppyseed vinaigrette was dairy free and just perfect. My matcha latte and Clyde's coffee latte were delicious. Troy had pizza and he loved the crust ( he had regular but they DO offer GF crust AND vegan cheese!). Sam's French Toast looked amazing in all its gluten-filled glory. We also tried the immunity shots from CJ's Juicery and they were dynamite. If we still lived here full time I'd be making the drive over from STL once a week for that breakfast salad and matcha. The menu is varied and thoughtful, altho I would love to see them find a way to offer at least one gluten free bread (I bet their avocado toast rocks!). I understand it is not an easy undertaking for small kitchens to manage proper handling of GF if it's not their focus. However I promise those on a restricted diet can absolutely find something here due to Hannah's expertise.

However, this review is about them, so let me focus on them only. If you go to Post Commons, you gotta get a biscuit. Their biscuits are homemade and they are delicious. My personal favorite biscuit sandwich is the Sausage. In addition to the sausage patty, it has cream cheese and pepper jam. The pepper jam is what really makes this sammie special. If you're wanting a more hearty breakfast, you can create your own plate with items from the A La Carte menu. I've created one with two scrambled eggs, bacon and breakfast potatoes. The potatoes are cut into little cubes and fried to a crispy golden color. It's a great place to meet friends for a cup of coffee. The staff is cordial and makes you feel welcomed. Why go to a chain coffee shop, when you have a unique one in a old post office building? There is, no reason to go. When: February 4, 2026 Why: Biscuit Sandwich

The best word to describe the event space at WOW Furnishings, is WOW! It is a prime example of…read moredon't judge a book by it's cover. The outside is rustic and historical and inside is spacious, flowing and beautiful. I recently attended a family wedding here and the attention to details in the set-up were top notch. The organization of tables, buffet and most importantly the bar, had an easy and smooth flow for the 230 guest. It was set up for a small happy hour before the ceremony for the guest and future Mr. & Mrs. to mingle. Then the ceremony took place in the main room with all the guest seated a their dinner tables. Once the vows were exchanged, it was time for dinner and more cocktails. The buffet was set-up in the smaller room that you first enter from the outside. The staff and caterer (you select your own caterer) had the table organized well allowing for an easy traffic flow of those coming and those returning to their seats with full plates. This bride & groom selected Johnson's Corner to cater their wedding and they did an impressive job. Once all the guest had completed their meal, it was time to party. WOW knows how to set a wedding/party up. The tables were already organized and set up so well, the center aisle easily became the dance floor. If you need a venue for a wedding as my family did, or if you've got a special anniversary, retirement or monumental birthday celebration, consider WOW for your party. I'll be back? - If they opportunity arises. When: June 29, 2018 Why: Wedding

Beautiful place if you're into the "distressed" look (not my thing, but I can appreciate the work…read morethey put into it). Staff was absolutely awesome and they kept things rolling seamlessly. Acoustics are great, you are able to hear well at all points without it being LOUD. There is a great deal of room upstairs for the bridal party, and the same with the room for the grooms party to get ready, with a separate room for them to hang out once they're finished. The only con I saw was the floor being a bit wonky in a few places (not in the natural walkways, thank goodness). It can catch you a bit off guard when you are skirting the dance floor when in heels. Not a huge issue, but it's something to scope out before the event so you can warn your unsteadier elderly guests away from those few areas to avoid mishaps. This is in to way a criticism of the venue, it's in a much older building and that just sort of the way things are in older places. :)

You can rent out the whole place or one of the many gorgeous room. Secured locked doors with a code that only guests know ensures safety is first. On the second floor there are a variety of 5 rooms to choose from. Some have an en suite bathroom and kitchen. One room has a bathroom adjacent in the hall and leads to a kitchen area and living space. Full kitchen comes with anything you need including utensils, cutlery, and even those condiments you forgot! There is also a balcony with tables chairs and grill. If you get the penthouse on the third floor you won't be disappointed! Huge full kitchen with amenities like the second floor Kitchen.

This place is within walking distance of many great Alton eateries and shops. Also only a 16 minute drive to Grafton or Edwardsville for for entertainment. One drawback is the parking. No dedicated lot so it's only street parking. There are dedicated spaces out front and side parking is available too. We cannot wait to come back and utilize this space again! *Wasn't able to picture of all the rooms just mine*

Dislikes: - Entrance/ viewer fee, but I get it. It's like coming to watch your local games but inside. So, I dislike it but understand it. - Pricey Overall, I like the idea and creativity of the what y'all were going for. Convenience for field games, toddler entertainment, as well as food and adult entertainment. I think separation for the toddler area and not right at the front of the house.
