Recently had their espresso loaf and it was excellent. The kids loved their raspberry scone! They offer steamers (milk) with flavor if you want to get the kids a drink, but without the caffeine (or sugar!). They have a cute couch in the seating area and several tables and chairs - if working from coffee shops is your thing. My #1 is the sugar free cookie dough iced latte. Doesn't even need cold foam. However, the rotating specials are always a hit too.

It was cool that they had a menu of specialty drinks with a Gilmore Girls theme. I was so tempted to order one, but I went with my regular drink, an Iced Vanilla Honey Latte. I had mine made with whole milk, it add that extra pizzaz to the latte. It was late morning and I knew I'd be having lunch soon, so I did not have one of their pastries. However, I will tell you they looked pretty good. I am always a sucker for a Blueberry Scone or a Pumpkin Muffin and they had both. The ambiance was old school coffeehouse, they had a bunch of couches and easy chairs in addition to multiple tables and chairs giving you lots of places to work on your laptop. The young lady baristas were friendly and had masterful skills making my latte. If I'm in Collinsville and need caffeine, I'll be sure to stop by Verona again and next time I'll try a Gilmore Girls Specialty Drink.

I asked if they had the egg bites or the spinach danish and i was informed that they had both available so I chose the egg bites. The egg bite was so good and there were 2 so I shared one with my coworker and she said it was delicious. It was my first experience with the honey bun latte because I usually get a vanilla latte but this was amazing and I will definitely get it again. What a great start for my work day. Thank you. I would say I was highly satisfied. I give a five star review overall.

There are multiple seating options, but it can be really loud inside if it's busy. They have rotating, monthly specials that are fun and usually delish.

I had a few errands so I was satisfied to grab a few things to start my day! I usually get the hot mocha, it was out very fast! Service is always amazing, they bring your drink right out to you & never get your order mixed up. Less than 5 minutes I got my drink, super delicious if you ever get the chance to try I also got a new food items, the pecan sticky bun & raspberry muffin looked too good to resist! I'm also a big fan of the 'day old pastries box' because I do try to cut costs when I can it's only $7 & I love the idea of getting a surprise! They're always delicious and taste like they were made that morning. I can tell they use real, quality ingredients for their food. I have issues sometimes with gluten and certain processed breads, but I really enjoy being able to have something sweet without all the extra junk! I got out with spending about $25, pretty good deal and better quality than most places! I like to support small/individual businesses when I can, I really believe you do get a better experience and product. My favorite place to go to for coffee in Edwardsville, so if you're looking for great coffee with great service, take a look at this place, you won't regret it! support small business

Within the last month, Sacred Grounds has had a change in ownership. For some that is sad news, but…read morethe good news is that the new owners so far have been keeping the same high quality service and products. My recent visit was to take part of Javapalooza being sponsored by Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau. When it's warm outside, I enjoy my coffee iced. My go to is, Vanilla Honey Latte with whole milk. If you're having a latte, why not go whole hog and enjoy that whole milk. The rich fullness of whole milk, adds to the flavor. Looking at their pastry case, it was hard for me to choose. However, once my eyes saw the Pizza Scone, I wanted a savory treat over a sweet. The scone was full of flavor, but a little on the dry side. After a couple bites, the dryness did not bother me, because the flavor was so good. Scared Grounds is located on the Main drag in downtown Edwardsville, so next time you're in town, be sure to stop by.

While we visit coffee shops/restaurants for the food and beverage is actually the people that make the place.

That said I absolutely LOVE the blackboard walls with the explanation of various coffee beverages, the classic offerings and seasonal is a cute and classic look to this shop. On their seasonal offerings one beverage caught my eye the rosemary & brown sugar OMG LOVE IT! The rosemary is subtle and not overpowering and the brown sugar flavor adds a hint of sweetness. I can't say enough positive about my experience with The CoffeeHouse. Thank you for a memorable morning.

I'm not sure who the manager is, but they deserve a lot of credit for hiring, training, and leading such a great team. You've raised my expectations for what I should experience in my travels.

It always seems busy enough to keep orders moving quickly. The staff is mostly young, and unlike many places, they're still friendly and polite, which adds to the experience. Maybe it's a "Troy" thing, but I'm not sure. The addition of Baskin-Robbins ice cream is a nice touch. If I decide to cheat on my diet, their vanilla ice cream is my go-to--it's so good that resisting it is the real challenge. The restaurant is always clean. Even though I usually stay for a maximum of 30 minutes, I consistently see employees cleaning both inside and outside, showing that this location is well-managed. There's plenty of seating, and the music isn't too loud, making it a comfortable and enjoyable place to stop. I'm giving this place 4 stars only because they're not open 24 hours anymore. They now close around 10 PM, but I think they should go back to their 24-hour schedule--it would make them an even better option for late-night travelers like myself.
